Room was lovely - small but warm, cosy and clean. Great breakfast too
Goodwin House was an excellent place to stay with convenient access to many beautiful walking trails and situated in the quaint town of Keswick. Liz and Chris are extremely kind and hospitable, the breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Really enjoyed our trip. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. The room was very well appointed and the breakfasts were second to none. It’s a perfect location just a few minutes from the main High Street. I’d fully recommend and I’ll definitely stay again.

Lovely hosts very attentive - only minor issue was parking. However would not stop me staying there again when in area.
The host was extremely attentive and accommodating. While parking was sometimes difficult to find in the surrounding streets, the location is otherwise terrific.
