The perfect bed & breakfast in the Lake District.
My stay at this bed & breakfast was a highlight of my latest visit to the Lake District. Everything about my stay was wonderful. The location in Portinscale - a short and safe walk from Keswick was perfect, the room with its wonderful views was perfect, the delicious and varied breakfast was perfect and the attentiveness & professionalism of Debbie & Paul was exemplary! I have travelled the world for more than 50 years and I would say that my stay at the Skiddaw Croft Bed & Breakfast was definitely in my accommodation top 10!! Thank you soooooo much!

A great time with considerate hosts.
Spent 3 nights whilst visiting the Lakes with family. Rooms were clean and very comfortable and we were lucky enough to have a view of Derwent water. Breakfast had a great choice and Debbie is very accommodating to your individual needs. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for her. There is plenty of information regarding local walks available for you to peruse or borrow. Location is within easy reach of Keswick with many walks on the doorstep. A quiet spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to fellow travellers. Thank you Debbie and Paul.
Had the most incredible stay here at Skiddaw Croft B&B - Debbie was the most wonderful and it truly felt like staying with family. The cooked breakfasts were amazing, rooms and views were charming and the location was fantastic, with easy walks to Keswick and Catbells. Already planning my next stay!

Skiddaw Croft BnB
I have returned here for the past three years and the level of service and detail is always amazing. The rooms are comfortable, clean and full of little extra touches. Indeed, Debbie and Paul go above and beyond for their guests; breakfast uses freshly sourced ingredients, a wide selection of choices and tastes delicious. The surrounding amenities and close walking distance to Keswick make this the perfect place to stay.

Very friendly and comfortable stay
☺ Very friendly owners. Excellent breakfast selection and they will make a small lunch pack up on request. Bathroom and single bedroom were very clean and large selection of maps and routes available in the living room downstairs. 15 min walk (on path through field) to centre of Keswick, however it isn't lit, and will take longer if you follow the main roads. Parking is available is available behind building (but might be tight access for larger vehicles, so you may have to park out front). Bus Stop (to Buttermere etc.) about 30m away and doesn't directly pass the B&B.
☹ Shared bathroom for single room (Rm 7) is on another floor (but luckily I had bathroom to myself).
Is on a main road in Portinscale, so expect some traffic noise between normal working hours.
