Allerdale House B&B - Enjoy Keswick & The Lake District

Allerdale House is situated in a quiet residential area and is less than five minutes walk from Keswick town centre. Derwentwater is just a few minutes' walk away, where you can walk, hire a boat, take a trip on the launch or attend a performance at the Theatre By The Lake. Castlehead is a stroll away with its fantastic views over Derwentwater, Bassenthwaite and the surrounding fells.

Keswick is just a short drive away from Windermere with its magnificent lake, Ambleside and the home of Beatrix Potter, Hill Top in Near Sawrey, where she wrote many of her famous children’s stories about animals.

Exploring Keswick and the Lake District

Arrive in your car, park it in our car park and then leave it for the rest of your stay! Walks from the house can be as easy or as strenuous as you want. Take a walk up Castlehead or a leisurely walk around the lake or along the old railway line to Threlkeld. Choose a more strenuous walk to Walla Crag and Ashness Bridge. Buttermere via Honister Pass has many easy or more taxing walks. Try Haystacks, Wainwrights favorite peak, and enjoy the fabulous views over the surrounding countryside.

We have many maps, detailed walks and books on the area in the lounge. Please feel free to borrow these during your stay.
