We had a relaxing stay at Burnside and would recommend here for a place to stay in Keswick. Great access to the lakes, and Sharon is a fantastic person, and had plenty of local information to share - we could have spoken to her all day. Hopefully we will stay here again in the future!

The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable which laid the base for a wonderful stay in Keswick. I would definitely use this B&B again.

Very Enjoyable stay

We stayed at Burnside for three nights. We had a lovely breakfast each morning, with wonderful homemade vegetarian sausage,marmalade and jam. The host Sharon was very helpful with lots of local knowledge. Our room was clean and spacious with a very comfy bed. Enjoyed having a sofa in the room to sit on.

Our stay was fabulous! You chose your main options for breakfast the day before to limit waste, which I loved! I had the full english breakfast which was amazing! Great quality food. My son in law had the vegan breakfast with home made vegan sausages which he said was first class. And my daughter porridge made with almond milk to make it creamy! We even had a choice of home made jams and marmalade with our toast! We were very well looked after. No parking at the property, but on road parking a very short walk away. Highly recommended! Stay here and you will be very well looked after 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sharon is a wonderfully accommodating host, very friendly and professional, and eager to share useful local knowledge. The room was spacious, warm, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast options are variable and delicious. There is on street parking opposite for people with cars, we had no problem parking and the car was visible from our room. We would definitely stay at the Burnside again and can highly recommend it.

Great little find

We stayed for 2 nights. The room was very nice, clean and well decorated. A bit of traffic noise as we faced the road but I had ear buds which solved this issue. The breakfast was substantial and very, very good. The hostess was friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. We will return.
