Dorchester House in Keswick, Cumbria, United Kingdom | Guest House

Anne and Dennis Banner welcome you to Dorchester House, their AA four star accredited, family run, late Victorian Guest House, for bed and breakfast. Dorchester House is situated in the heart of Keswick in the northern Lake District, United Kingdom.

Dorchester House is a short walk from Keswick town centre with its many shops, public houses, restaurants, and other attractions. We are also only minutes from the shores of Lake Derwentwater and within easy reach of the local fells.

We have eight bedrooms, seven of which are en-suite and an eighth which has its own dedicated shower and toilet facilities along the corridor. We are therefore able to cater for everyone including families, walkers, and larger groups.

Originally built as a guesthouse, Dorchester House is a late Victorian property which has been modernised to meet today's needs but retains some significant original features.

With excellent views of Skiddaw, Causey Pike, Latrigg and Walla Crag, Dorchester House provides a glimpse of the outstanding scenery that surrounds Keswick.

The house is comprised of eight bedrooms with six rooms being fully en-suite and one room incorporating a shower. All rooms have thermostatically controlled central heating, remote controlled colour television and complimentary tea and coffee making facilities.

With a variety of bedrooms we are able to cater for individuals, couples, families and parties of walkers.

Breakfast in our spacious dining room is the ideal way to start your days in the Lake District.  Choose from fresh fruit salads, yoghurts, juices and cereals before enjoying a freshly cooked full English breakfast. Should you require something different, we offer a variety of alternative options including a vegetarian breakfast and breakfasts for those with special dietary needs.

Dorchester House has a full fire alarm system and has been awarded a fire certificate. For the comfort and safety of all our guests we operate a complete non-smoking policy.
