Glendale Guest House

Nice cosy bedroom, nice breakfast. A place well located, 10mn walk to the centre of Keswick. Great.

There's certain things I look for when booking a B&B. A modern decor, a comfortable bed and a good shower. Oh and parking. Glendale appeared to promise all of these staying they had parking (which they don't), photos showed modern looking rooms whereas ours hadn't been decorated for 30 years and had a brass bed that should have been condemned. The shower made an electric shower look exciting it was so weak Breakfast was reasonable with a good fruit salad bowl if you got down early. A word of warning (other than beware of the bed) and that is to make sure no one follows you in the B&B when you enter. A guest let my wife in and someone immediately followed her. The owner yelled at my wife for letting strangers in the house even when she tried to explain it wasn't her

Not the most welcoming of b&bs…. Arrival instructions given over the phone as the host was out (7pm Friday) Breakfast is very rigid … and I asked for hot milk with my coffee at breakfast) and was told ‘no, I’m busy’ - This was after being allocated a 8am breakfast slot and not another person arriving until 8.30, How is it that hard to microwave milk for 30 seconds!? The room was clean but bed far too soft to get a good night sleep for me.
