Our Story
A Victorian Gem in the Heart of Keswick
Nestled just a five-minute walk from Keswick town center, Glencoe Guest House is a beautifully preserved Victorian home that has been welcoming visitors to the Lake District for generations. Our guest house retains its original architectural charm with features like high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and large bay windows that flood the rooms with natural light. We’ve carefully modernized the property to offer contemporary comforts while maintaining its historic character, creating a unique blend of old-world elegance and modern convenience. Our central location makes us the perfect base for exploring everything Keswick and the surrounding fells have to offer.
