A little disappointed on returning to this b&b. The cost has increased considerably and it felt that the new owners priority was to keep up their excellent Trip Adviser rating to justify this. The rooms are very well appointed and breakfast was excellent, although it took a long time to arrive, despite having ordered it the previous day... (& who... More

Stayed for 8 nights, our 2nd visit to Portland House. Very welcoming, friendly & relaxing atmosphere. The room spotlessly clean, spacious & well appointed. Only a few minutes walk into Keswick town centre & had no problems with parking nearby. The breakfasts are to die for! - plenty of choice & beautifully cooked and an excellent service. Wonderful hosts who... More

This B & B is very relaxing and home from home. Were able to park outside and was a good base for most walks. The breakfasts were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble for Denise and Rod. I would recommend this B&B to all my friends. More

We had reservations when we booked this as it was on a corner quite close to the centre of Keswick However our fears were unfounded as it was so quiet even though our room faced the road. Parking was no problem - we were able to park on the street right outside the front door. We can't really add to... More

stayed here for 1 night (should have stayed longer!) whilst walking the Cumbrian Way. Arrived soaking wet but we were well looked after on our arrival by the sight of a tray of tea/coffee and home made shortbread. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean- a real delight. The fittings/fabrics etc would grace any home and nothing was too much... More

Spent three knights at Portland House on a walking trip with two friends. The proprietors, Denise and Rod were especially welcoming and hospitable. The breakfasts were excellent, the rooms were spotless and well appointed and the setting was very quiet. The location is good with easy access on foot to the town centre. Looking forward to returning. More

This was our first stay at Portland House. Four nights in total. A motorcycle holiday with friends. Rod & Denise were the perfect hosts, they made us feel so very welcome. Nothing was to much trouble for them. A beautiful B&B right in the heart of Keswick, only a short walk into the town centre. Our room was lovely, (oh!... More

An outstanding place to stay whilst visiting the area. The hosts are one of kind, very pleasant and incredibly helpful (good banter as well, not to mention excellent chefs ( I would suggest having the black pudding and hash browns with your breakfast). I would recommend Portland house to friends and family in a second. When we come back to... More
