Myself and a couple of mates stayed with Linda on the 18th/19th October. We were welcomed by the lovely Linda and she could not be more helpful and pleasant. The premises and beds were excellent and the breakfast fabulous. I got a lovely double bed to myself. I am going to take my wife to Keswick and I do hope Linda's is available when we go. Highly recommended.
So We All Agree Right Guys

Lovely guesthouse. Myself and two friends stayed in one room which had two single beds and a double. The room was nicely decorated and very clean. The lady who owns the guest house was so friendly and helpful and the location in Keswick is fantastic, just a short stroll to the centre. I would definitely stay again and recommend this very highly.

We enjoyed 9 wonderful days in Watendlath Guest House. Linda is an excellent and very friendly host. Great Breakfast with a lot of choice. Nice room with bathroom. We can highly recommend this B&B. Keswick is an excellent central location to visit the lake district. We chose to travel by bus. Stagecoach offers an excellent weekly ticket for only 28 GBP. We got around everywhere we wanted and did a lot of walks (Skafell Pike, Helvellyn, Hay Stacks, Buttermere, Ullswater, Skiddaw...)
