We were made to feel very welcome by Keith and Deb We were able to park on the street although there was opportunity to use a car space behind the property. The B&B was in an ideal location for exploring Keswick town center and surrounding areas. The property was spotless and the breakfast was amazing with so much buffet choice with lots of fresh fruit. Nothing was too much trouble and our needs were catered for. We had a treat left in the room each day from a biscuit to a cake. Every attention to detail to make us feel welcome and comfortable was catered for .

Nothing! The only slight thing and this is personal. My partner is a light sleeper so the curtains were a little thin as the light came through at first light! I slept like a log.

Great location with 5 minute walk to all the local restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Debbie and Keith were perfect hosts; breakfast was wonderful with a wide range of fresh fruit coupled with a traditional fried/grilled breakfast - bacon and Cumberland sausage, amazing! They welcomed us and catered for all our needs during the stay, great local knowledge of the fells and good advice on local activities. A quiet road, but so close to everything you need. Will be returning as soon as. Great stay. Thanks!

Absolutely nothing at all!

We loved the central location, on a quiet street but within a few minutes walk from the heart of Keswick with all its shops, cafes and restaurants. It was a gentle 10 minute stroll to the lake and the Theatre by the Lake. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable with lots of little extras provided to make guests feel welcome. We had an excellent cooked breakfast with lots of additional choices including fresh fruit and cereal. Deb and Keith, are fabulous hosts, very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. They really put a lot of effort into ensuring that every guest is happy and has everything that they need. It was lovely to meet them.

Our host Deb and her husband are such wonderful people, they treat their guests with all their kindness and respect. They are always very helpful and supportive at very detailed levels. The breakfast is the best among all the BnBs we had stayed. There are surprisingly variety of fruits served and freshly cooked breakfast. The house is located very close to the town center. The room is very clean comfortable even though it is on a little smaller size but good enough for two people.

Perfect from check-in to check out! The house is in the perfect location, 2 minutes walk to the centre of Keswick. Parking either on the street or around the back of the B&B.

Dunsford boasts a great location on a quiet street close to town centre, which is the perfect base for exploring Keswick and the Lake District. The room and facilities were perfect. It's a very well run business, with every possible need catered for. The amazing and delicious breakfast really sets you up for a day of hiking. Saving the best for last, the hosts Deb and Keith are the warmest people you will ever meet, going above and beyond to deliver the perfect vacation. I highly recommend a stay at Dunsford, and hope to return myself one day soon.

Deb and Keith were very welcoming. Helped with our bags very easy to get on with. Nothing was too much trouble always making sure we were OK. Breakfast was amazing. I don't eat a lot but my husband had full English brkfast couldn't fault it. Extra little touches were lovely. Room was fab, clean, tea coffee hotchocolate to drink. Sweets biscuits. Absolutely beautiful. Both were lovely felt like friends. Will definitely be back. 😊

There was nothing I could pick as to say if it just had that. Attention had been thought of on all little details. Even down to little scissors to open sachets of tomato or brown sauces at breakfast as they can be tricky to open. Was just lovely.

We stayed at Dunsford Guest House for 2 nights and so glad we did. Deb and Keith are lovely people and perfect hosts. They made us feel so welcome from arrival (free parking) to saying goodbye 👋. The Guest House is immaculately clean, a comfortable room with so many complimentary treats. The breakfast is one of the best we've had (and we've had plenty of breakfasts over the years in Keswick!). We would highly recommend Dunsford and will return again. Thank you for having us.
