Excellent B&B. Very clean, excellent choice at breakfast and lovely single room. Fairly close to town and Andy and Jo were very welcoming and helpful. I will be returning next time I go to Keswick. More

I stayed for a weekend at Tarn Hows and had a lovely stay. The owners Andy and Jo made me feel really welcome, gave great advice for local walks and even offered to accompany me and my friend. The room was clean and the breakfast was great, especially the local sausages. The location for the centre of town and walking... More

It is amazing how much a place can slip in less than a year. New owners have taken over and everything that made Tarn Hows so special has now gone. The little touches that meant so much - loaned umbrellas, choice of breakfast time, a cosy guest lounge where you can relax with friends - are all gone. The rooms... More

Tarn Hows is a really convenient location for walking in the hills and the town itself. The hosts are most welcoming, friendly and helpful and the breakfasts are superb. We had a party of nine and everyone enjoyed their stay. More

We chose this b and b as our 'New Year' destination early in the year mainly due to the Silver Award and Breakfast award - how disappointed we were to find that the current owners could not maintain these levels. Here are just a few of our gripes:- room not serviced 1 day out of 3 therefore coming back to... More

My son and I stayed at the Tarn Hows for a walking weekend. I was attracted by the positive reviews on TripAdvisor. My own experience is that despite a few negative points the stay was an enjoyable one and I rate the place as very good. First the good points: the entire B&B is immaculate, the rooms are extremely clean... More

I have just had a most excellent weekend in Keswick staying at Tarn Hows. Didn't need to get in the car from the moment I arrived until I left, such a convenient location for walking the hills and the town itself. The hosts are most welcoming, friendly and helpful. I stayed in a room without en-suite (most of them have... More

Stayed in the superior room - beautiful decor, comfy bed and good shower in the en-suite. Quality breakfast too. Pleasant and non-intrusive owners. Andy was very helpful with tips on what to do and where to walk. Convenient for Keswick town centre just 5 minutes walk away. Highly Recommended! More

I have no hesitation on recommending this place for a stay in Keswick. Rooms were really well decorated to a high standard. Great bed. Luxurious bedding. The staff were really helpful right from first phone call right through to after departure. They went the extra mile with help if you needed it but without being over-fussy if you just wanted...
