A wonderfully warm and welcoming place to stay

Link House is a welcoming beautifully located place to stay. Peter and Katie have created a warm and attentive atmosphere. They have an eye for detail and excel in hosting. The whole house was wonderfully clean, tastefully decorated and comfy. Breakfasts were lovely too! We definitely recommend a stay at Link House if heading to the Keswick area.

Es war ein toller Aufenthalt bei Katie und Pete. Sie sind zwei unglaublich nette und fürsorgliche Menschen, bei denen man sich nur wohl fühlen kann. Mein Zimmer war auch sehr schön und gemütlich. Jeden Abend hat man seine Frühstückswünsche für den nächsten Tag angegeben und seinen Wunschzeitraum, damit nicht alle Gäste auf einmal das Frühstückszimmer stürmen. Das Frühstück selbst war immer sehr lecker und liebevoll zubereitet. In einem Nebenraum gab es sehr viele Bücher zur Auswahl. Und die Gegend ist ja sowieso traumhaft. Pete konnte sehr gute Empfehlungen für Unternehmungen aussprechen. Ich kann dieses BnB nur empfehlen und würde dort immer wieder übernachten.

Lovely place to stay

We had a fantastic 2 night stay here. The couple who own it are lovely and very friendly. The room was a good size, clean, bright & airy and we had a beautiful view looking out towards the mountains. Breakfast was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for this couple.

Friendly hosts, delicious breakfast, lovely stay

We had a lovely stay, Pete and Katie were very friendly and the house is beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable with everything we needed and in the mornings we enjoyed delicious breakfasts with a beautiful view. We chose to stay at Link House as we were going to the Lakes Distillery and it is easily walkable from the guest house. It’s a little too far away from Keswick or cockermouth to walk into town for dinner but if you don’t want to drive there is the x5 bus which we used to go to Keswick and it stops right outside the guesthouse.

Great B&B

Lovely B&B near to Bassenthwaite Lake and the new Lakes Distillery. With a frequent bus route and good access to the A66 it is very easy to get around the Lakes from the Link House. We were down for a mid-week break and were made to feel very welcome by Peter and Katie. Our room was spacious and clean with views across to Skiddaw. A good selection for every taste at breakfast. Within walking distance is the Pheasant Inn if you don't want to drive for Lunch/Dinner which has a very good menu. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Thank you.

Perfect getaway with beautiful view

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. Pete and Katie gave us a 5 Star Hotel treatment. Their place was immaculately clean, comfortable and cozy. They gave us very good local recommendation for walks and drives. Couldn’t ask for more. Must stay at least 2-3 nights to have a good experience there.
