We visited as a family of 4 lads on a walking weekend , we were doubtful about this bed and breakfast beforehand as some of the reviews were more than negative ! However we were not disappointed and happy to totally disagree with the poor reviewers . . The property is absolutely spotless from the bathrooms to the cutlery and everything in between… well done The Lincoln staff 👍 yes the bedrooms we stayed in could be a bit bigger to make it more comfortable but faultless otherwise, although the breakfast slot is only 30 minutes the food was excellent and very well presented so very enjoyable… I would definitely visit again 😀

The poor reviewers are wrong !

Absolutely on standard for what you want for a lads walking trip in the Lakes.
Hassle free, comfortable, warm welcome, good breakfast.
Will return in the future no doubt.
Ideally located too, seconds from the town centre

Walking trip 

Friendly welcome. Comfortable room, good shower.
Excellent full English breakfast served very promptly.
Good location for Keswick town centre.
Ideal location for anyone attending Keswick Convention events (less than 5 minutes walk!)

Comfortable room, great breakfast, good location, very close to Keswick Convention site

Clean and tidy hosts were really accommodating  
Breakfast was superb enjoyed the stay 
Really close to town center plenty of shops and pubs to visit 
A short walk to the lake and theater boats for hire and boat trips round island with hop on and  hop off day passes

Lincon guest house

We chose this particular B&B for our holiday in the Western Lakes, because of it’s proximity to Keswick town centre, also there was adjacent off-road, free and private parking, and there was en suite room availability.  The satnav system using Google Maps did send us a long-way around the town; but only delayed our arrival by about 5 minutes.  We still arrived within a few minutes of the 16:00 check-in time.  We were pleasantly welcomed and shown to our room on the first floor.  

The immediate impression was ‘look at the view!’, which was simply stunning for us: as we just do not see any mountains, or hills of this magnitude were we live.  The room’s main window facing S-W provided a 120 degree vista of hills and mountains stretching off into the distance.  The other window just looked out onto the properties across the road.

The room itself was small but perfectly adequate, it was clean and very well maintained: bedding was changed daily.  The main room featured a 4’6” double bed (bit small when used to a 5’).  A moderately-sized wooden, glass-topped table with a large mirror above, and two drinking glasses a kettle, cups and supplies for hot drinks.  There were two electric sockets on the wall above the table (that’s a big tick).  The TV (with a remote) was wall-mounted two thirds of the way up the wall to the right of the table.  

To the left of the table was a door-less wardrobe divided horizontally into three compartments, with a decent sized drawer below the lowest compartment.  The middle compartment featured a rail for hanging clothes (hangers were provided).  The height of the middle compartment was only sufficient for shirts and folded trousers.  Longer items of clothing had to cascade over the front of the compartment.  A hairdryer was placed in the top compartment.

There were two reasonably comfortable dining chairs stowed under the table and two bedside tables each with three small, but deep, drawers.  There was only one bedside lamp.  There was a large radiator; not on, as it was summer and the room was not cold or draughty (the window were all double glazed). 

In the bathroom there was a ultra clean and efficient shower, gleaming clean sink, and a very clean WC.  The usual mirror over the sink and a wall mounted glass for toothbrushes.  Fresh towels (changed daily) and bath mat, soap, and loo rolls were all provided.  The heated towel rail was very efficient and I was pleased to see a power socket for my shaver and our toothbrushes.

It was a very pleasant and very clean room with attractive quality wallpaper and moderately sized piece of art. 

The stairs to bedrooms were slightly steeper than normal but not too narrow. The stairs to the lower ground floor dining area were quite narrow and again steeper than normal.  The fire escape ladder would have been quite daunting if I had have needed to use it.

Breakfast was served in the lower ground floor and it was excellent (the tea needed to be left to brew a while to gain strength).  What was particularly noticeable was how much the lady of the house remembered of individual preferences for all the guests.  For example I don’t like fried tomatoes (unless they are cherry tomatoes).  Having left my tomato on the first morning I wasn’t served one on the second morning.  We were not asked about tea vs coffee having chosen tea the first morning.  We could always change our order as the lady always came to our table one we were sat, and we were able to say if we wanted to change from the ‘usual’.

This was an excellent stay and we were both impressed by the un-stinting attention to cleanliness throughout the whole building.

On the Wednesday of our stay, the power went off at about 09:30.  We were out for the day, so it wasn’t an inconvenience.  Apparently a fault at a substation had caused a fire and about 7,000 properties in the Keswick and Penrith area were without power.  We returned about 17:00 and the power was still off, but was operational within 20 minutes or so.

Town centre B&B delights

Lovely place to stay, staff all so lovely and always helpful. Breakfasts were served by a lovely lady and were amazing every day. Rooms modern and spacious, PERFECT location with stunning views of the mountains from room. Private bathroom really nice and only a short way from bedroom (the room we booked had a private separate bathroom but this isn't the case for all rooms) great price, over all lovely will be returning next time, would recommend.

Fantastic stay 

I booked a solo weekend here as I was doing an event in the area. It was perfectly positioned with plenty of free parking. I booked a single room which was ideal for travelling alone. 

The owners couldn’t have been more helpful and polite and breakfast was lovely both mornings. I was even offered the option of taking food with me for the day if i needed it and some fruit to take for my race. 
Will definitely stay again. Thank you.

Great stay

Fabulous place, just off the Main Street. Amazing views with a nice garden  to appreciate them from. And dark skies to see the stars. Very kind as well as I left my phone which they returned so quickly. Can’t thank them enough. Breakfast was lush.  Room was warm, clean and comfortable. Will definitely return. Dedicated Parking as well just outside. Fabulous weekend

Wonderful weekend

Centrally located and close to shops and amenities.   We booked the double room with separate bathroom, which was down a half flight of stairs, and then three into the bathroom, and wasnt too much hassle.  The breakfast was amazing, superbly  cooked and well presented, and a piece of fresh fruit to take out for the day made a nice gesture.      Really enjoyed our stay and will return when next in the area.

GREAT VALUE  FOR MONEY

A comfortable room and superb cooked breakfast awaits you at Lincoln House!  Very friendly and helpful hosts make this a great place to stay in Keswick - just a few minutes walk from the centre of town yet peaceful through the night.
