Very comfortable guest house. Lorraine and Simon could not have been nicer or more welcoming. Breakfast was great. Really wish we had planned a loner stay than two nights

Simon and Lorraine were very welcoming hosts and us feel at home during our short stay. 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.

Dorchester house is such a lovely place to stay! With cozy interior and a beautiful dining room, it's just as being invited home to Lorraine and Simon. Lorraine greeted us when we arrived and was always helpful and kind as well as giving practical info about keswich. Would definitely recommend if you're visiting.

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.

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.

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.

I stayed at Dorchester house with my auntie for 2 nights, really lovely place. Very well kept and spotless throughout. Lorraine and Simon made us feel welcome from the second we arrived. Really lovely couple. The rooms had everything you would need for the stay, beds were comfortable, as the weather was hot a fan was provided. Breakfast was delicious, excellent quality and good selection. There is seating in the front garden to sit in the fresh air. Excellent location as it is only a few minutes walk into the town centre and about10-15 minute walk to derwentwater lake, beautiful place. I would 100% stay again and would recommend it.

Really impressed with our stay at Dorchester House. Right in the door step of Keswick and the Lakes but the best part was the service- nothing was too much for Lorraine and her welcome was always so warm. Especially impressed with the lengths she went to accommodate dietary (vegan) requirements.

A beautiful B&B in a great location. Couldn’t fault anything about our stay at all. The room was spacious, airy, immaculate and well equipped with everything you need. Breakfast was great, lots of choice and the hot food was always cooked to perfection. Both Simon and Lorraine were great hosts.

I was there for 2 nights. Good breakfast both mornings, very clean room and bathroom. My only issue was with the bathroom. Sink very small with a small glass shelf just above it. Therefore very little space to wash face or shave. Moving this shelf to the left or placing it on the opposite wall would have solved the problem very easily.

We had a lovely stay at Dorchester House over the weekend. The hosts were very welcoming and when they found out it was my birthday I came back to my room to find a card and chocolates! The breakfasts were great, especially the overnight oats which come with different toppings. Overall it felt homely and perfect for a walking holiday

Dorcester House is such a gem, as are the hosts Lorraine and Simon. The location is perfect for getting anywhere and yet it's on a lovely, quiet street. Excellent breakfasts with a nice variety. Porridge with whisky butter is to die for! One of our best UK stays.

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The quality and comfort were both to a very high standard. Breakfast was also great with a fresh fruit salad every morning in addition to the cereal, cooked and toast options. One of the best properties I have stayed in. Only issue is no on-site parking (but that is the same for most B&B’s in the area. There are some additional overnight spaces available and as long as you move the car before 10am you are fine parking overnight. Very quiet location but just a few minutes walk to either the town centre or Derwent Water via the footpath next to St John’s Church, so a really good base for either local walks or driving further afield.
