The B&B is situated on a quiet residential road near the town centre with parking avaible on the roadside. We found our room well furnished, clean and spacious with a good ensuite bathroom. One can choose from a variety of breakfast items including full English, porridge, etc, all freshly prepared in the morning. Simon and Lorraine do a great job running their guesthouse and long may that continue. ##### Jacob Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karyn 25 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities From the moment we set foot on the property, Lorraine and Simon impressed me with their warm welcome and concern for their guests. They went out of their way to be helpful at every opportunity, they quickly learned our preferences and accommodated them, and they were friendly with every interaction. The room was clean, comfortable, and the amenities were spot on. The food was delightful. I will absolutely be booking here on my next trip to Keswick. ##### Karyn Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denis 10 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owners were extremely pleasant and helpful, and provided a wonderful breakfast. The room was a bit small, and the bathroom might present some problems for an obese guest. Fortunately, we are both small people, and had no problems at all! The town is fascinating, with access to a beautiful lake and walks, many pubs, and interesting shops. ##### Denis Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### s 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love staying at Dorchester House. Lorraine is such a wonderful host, always helping with any information we need and goes out of her way to help me with storing my luggage before checkin and after checkout.The location is fantastic, just next to the Town centre and bus stops. The street is well-lit and safe to roam even when dark. The room is super cosy and the bedding is clean and so comfortable that my kids would love sleep-in instead of going out and about. The breakfast is delicious and Lorraine makes sure they are served hot. The lake is just 10mins walk and there are many dining options. I cant recommend this place enough and Lorraine and Simon are the best hosts. Thank you for giving us such a lovely stay in Keswick!❤️ ##### s Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Glenn 5 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Dorchester was immaculate. I was in a small single room with a seperate spacious bathroom and shower, accessible only to me. The only gripe I had was that since my room was at the front, people would stand chatting right under my window. I don't usually mind, however when it is at 6 - 7am in the morning, forget about having a lie in. It might be an idea to request guests in the area to be more considerate to others when hanging around outside. One guy just wouldn't stop talking and I could hear the entire conversation. I was tempted to tell him to cork it and clear off. Lorraine, the landlady was very attentive and welcoming. She made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Little cakes would appear on the hallway table with my room number on them. My friend stayed in another B&B nearby, which in comparison made the Dorchester look like a luxury hotel. The Dorchester was so clean and crisp that everything looked brand new. I would definitely recommend staying at the Dorchester. ##### Glenn Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful hosts.

Hostess was friendly and communicative. Property very clean. Reasons for four stars instead of five include the size of the room and bathroom (quite small), and the very limited time for breakfast (1/2 hour window). ##### Katherine Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Spotless, Great Breakfast and warm and friendly hosts.
