We have welcomed guests to our home in the beautiful Lake District town of Keswick since 2016. We endeavour to do our utmost to ensure you have a comfortable and pleasurable stay and hope to see you return as many of our guests have done over the years.

Keswick sits at the head of Derwentwater, the most picturesque of the lakes in the Lake District National Park. The lake shore, is only a ten-minute stroll from Glendale Guest House, where you can catch the regular Keswick launch service to any of the six jetties around the lake. From there you can walk on Cat Bells, Maiden Moor and the many other beautiful fells around the Newlands Valley, or visit Ashness Bridge, Lodore Falls and the village of Grange. Whether you want to explore the filming locations of Miss Potter and those made famous in the books of Beatrix Potter, or head for the high Fells, or simply explore the Lake District landscape, it’s all within reach. If you fancy a stroll into Keswick town centre you will find plenty to keep you occupied, whether you choose a movie at our beautiful Alhambra cinema or a show at the renowned Theatre by the Lake (guests receive discounted tickets when staying at Glendale) you will be spoilt for choice. We also advise reserving a table at one of the fabulous restaurants in Keswick (check our website for recommendations) or simply just pop into one of the many public houses for lunch, dinner and refreshments.
