Lovely B&B, just 10 mins walk into town.
Cosy room, plenty of storage. Tea, coffee and water provided. Very comfortable bed, slept wonderful. The breakfast has plenty of choice, I went with the granola, Greek yoghurt and berries after reading some other reviews delicious followed by eggs n smoked salmon, very tasty. We will definitely love to come and stay again.

Accommodation was comfortable and we were made to feel welcome. We had a good view of the garden from our room. There is a good choice of breakfast including home made yoghurt with fruit. We've stayed in a few B&Bs, including this one several years ago and the breakfasts here are among the best we have had. My wife and I unhesitatingly recommend Woodside to anyone visiting Keswick for a few days.

We couldn't have had a better experience in the lake district. The room was sparkly clean, cosy but spacious. The bed was comfortable and allowed us to sleep very well after long trips across the district. Very quiet and not noisy at all. Our room was facing the lovely garden at the back.
Breakfast, like many have mentioned before, is simply outstanding. Home cooked, delicious and fresh every day to please anyone's requests. We will definitely return! Free parking was a plus.
Jenny and Nikos are lovely hosts whom go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and at home.

After a long and tiring bike trip. We arrived at Woodside to a very friendly welcome by the hosts. We were shown to our rooms which were very roomy and clean. The rooms had tea & Coffee making facilities and Tv's The host had good knowledge of the local area for us to have a meal, which was a 5 minute walk to the town where we found a good choice of restaurants. After we had a good night sleep we awoke to a good choice of self-service breakfast ideas I must say the homemade yoghurt was delicious. We decided on the full english which fuelled us up for the way home. I recommend Woodside to anyone
