Fantastic stay here with very welcoming and accommodating hosts. We could not have been made more welcome. Key positives are; Location: Just outside the bustle of Keswick in picture pretty Portinscale (20 min walk to Keswick centre). Portinscale has its own pubs and coffee shops so you might not need to leave. Guest house is well set back from any roads and there’s no road noise Property: Scrupulously clean. Unusually large rooms and bathrooms. Modern fittings and furnishings. There is a fantastic view of Lake Derwent from the front, or alternatively great views of the looming Skiddaw from the back Parking: Ample off road parking for all guests Hosts: Extremely helpful, attentive and accommodating. They gave us lots of help with local information, from taxis to the best spots to swim in the Lake. Breakfasts: All the classic English Breakfast staples, and some rotating specials (eg Kippers) on top of a decent buffet breakfast. Overall, an excellent experience

Friendly staff/owner. Free breakfast

Very convenient location for walks directly from the hotel, picture-postcard views galore, very welcoming and accommodating staff, delicious and creative meals, clean and spacious rooms (appear to have been recently refurbished) with comfortable beds. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and we hope to visit again soon.

I was travelling with my family, 3 young adults and myself. We loved staying at this hotel. The location is a nip across the road to Keswick town centre. The views from the windows are stunning. The staff were friendly and remembered our preferences at breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and had well thought choices to make us eager to go down in the morning. I paid 6 pounds for the car park which was just behind the hotel and easy to get to. I would stay here again.

Made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped foot through the door. Main communal area has been refreshed recently and is stunning. Bedrooms slightly dated but these are being refreshed this year. If they are anything like the standard of the reception and bar area they will be stunning. Will definitely be back to try out the new rooms later in the year! Location perfect and close to the town centre with plenty choice of places to eat and drink. Lovely views out across Derwent water and parklands.

Having just returned from a three night stay at Leathes Head, I felt compelled to sing its praises. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Mark and taken to our room. Our bags were even attended to. Not too often these days......... ! Our ”superior room” was comfortable, immaculately clean and had a splendid view towards Derwentwater, Skiddaw and beyond. It was a tad tired but more than acceptable. The public rooms are modern with a traditional twist and very, very welcoming. The lounge would sit very well in any country house. Following our gentle walk in the garden which enjoys a good balance of belonging to nature and being tended to we went inside for dinner. There is no other word to use other than exquisite. Each course of the three set menus was better than the previous one. The entire team in the kitchen deserve a great deal of praise and credit. During Service, Mark's manner whilst looking after his guests also deserves a mention. A mix of being relaxed and being attentive; not an easy balance to achieve. Guests who chose to go elsewhere for their evening meal don't know what they missed. The standard and choice of breakfasts and the professionalism of the morning staff also deserve much praise. A great start to a good day's walking. In our opinion, Leathes Head achieves what it sets out to be. An English Country House Hotel which sets high standards in all aspects of what it has to offer.

So check in time is 3pm and we arrived 2 hours early..got to front desk only to see that it would not be manned until 3pm due to staff shortages..no problem, it just meant I had to leave our bag in the car (totally my fault for arriving early).. Went for a walk and a few drinks round Keswick and returned to the hotel just after 3pm. We got checked in (room 4) which my wife recognised straight away as being the room we stayed in 13 years ago for her 40th..apparently the same decor.. Off we went for a few more drinks and returned to the hotel for a meal at 1930ish only to be told by the same fella that checked us in about 4 hours earlier that they would only serve residents..once we established that we were in fact residents I asked him what time the bar closes? His reply..”as soon as possible”.. One of the reasons I booked this hotel was because it advertised it's own beer garden so on a lovely June evening, sun still beating down when you might want a couple of drinks, in the 'beer garden' - the front door is locked at 2030 and lights out. After last night's trauma of not even being able to get a drink we went down for breakfast..honestly we are far from picky eaters but it was mostly undercooked.. Sorry for sounding negative so on the plus side...the bed was very comfortable and the hotel is actually in a fantastic location for exploring Keswick. So put it on that or not. Is this

From the minute we pulled up to the minute we left, couldn't fault a single thing. Lovely welcome on arrival, showed to a fantastic room and breakfast arrangements explained. Room was more than adequate with a really comfortable bed, good shower and tea/coffee facilities at hand,and breakfast was amazing, with really good selection and quality produce. Host couldnt do enough for you, even when he was flying solo on this particular weekend. Great location and close to town but just far enough out not to get any noise( 2- 3 mins walk). Managed to get a parking space in the street opposite, so car never moved all weekend. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again when next up there. Thanks for a great stay Noel & Lisa (Room 3)
