Lovely place to stay owners very helpful and friendly
Dalegarth Guest House was exceptional. We had a wonderful stay. Lovely comfortable room, great breakfast and excellent welcoming hosts. Beautiful location with lovely views of the lake and garden. We would definitely visit again.
What a wonderful place to rest your head whenever in the Keswick area.
The owners go out of their way to make you feel very welcome even to the point of running me in to town. Portinscale lies on the banks of Derwent water and is ideally located for Keswick and the Western Lakes and a stay at the Dalegarth is highly recommended

I absolutely loved my stay. The room was very clean, the owners were very friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent.
I will look to book here again when I’m next back in the lakes.
The couple that run the guest house were very friendly and extremely hospitable
I had one night there and had a great nights sleep and really enjoyed the breakfast
I will definitely be staying there again when I visit the area again in the future
Lovely property with very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable hosts. Breakfast had an excellent selection with fresh ingredients. The room was very comfortable with everything we needed. The location was great with many walks accessible directly from the property.
Faultless stay. Friendly onwers, clean, comfortable and homely accommodation with great views from front of house. Best breakfast ever! Short country walk into Keswick (17 mins) for non drivers like me. Great base for exploring Lakes.
Excellent stay at Dalegarth.
From the moment of arriving a bit early to leaving the attention to detail and support was superb.
The breakfast was top notch and recommend this to stayers as well

We had a wonderful stay! Clare and Craig are super sweet and knowledgeable; they gave us many great local recommendations and even maps. The breakfast was fantastic, and the room was lovely and roomy. We only stayed two nights, and we would have loved to stay longer. We definitely hope to come back and stay again.
Great stay. Claire & Craig were personable and brilliant hosts. Location was also great. Room was very clean and well maintained. Also breakfast in the morning was super delicious. Thanks for having us !
My wife and I spent two nights at the property in September and found it a very good base for the northern lake district. It is withing walking distance of Keswick and it is a very pleasant walk through the fields, so no need to move the car and search for parking in Keswick. Portinscale is a very pretty and quiet little village, with one nice pub. Craig and Clare were perfect hosts, very informative and friendly. Our only regret is that we should have stayed at least one more day.
Extremely well run and homely B&B just outside Keswick. The breakfast was a particular highlight - especially the a la carte menu. Small things (like tea & coffee in the room with fresh milk, flapjacks in reception and USB charging sockets) make a big difference. I also appreciated the excellent advice provided by the hosts on hiking routes and where to eat in Keswick. I only stayed for one night but will stay longer next time.
We received a very warm welcome from Clare and provided with lots of information about the area. The service we received from Clare and Craig was first rate. They couldn't have been more helpful. It is a truly top place to stay. We would definitely stay there again should we ever return.
