The staff were so welcoming and the location ideal for us. It was such a comfortable stay and so easy to navigate as the guidelines for staying (for example door locking etc) were all brilliantly laid out. Highly recommended.

Nothing - we had a great stay and hope to return again soon.

Phil was super friendly and accommodating and Helen makes a wonderful breakfast (great selection to choose from). The rooms are spotless and have all the facilities you could need. Tea and cake on arrival was really appreciated after a soggy day in the hills. Shower was powerful and hot, bed was comfortable (pillows were amazing). Phil went out of his way to help us during our stay. We liked booking a breakfast 'slot' as it felt like we had almost exclusive use of the dining room, and pre-ordering the night before meant everything was ready and served within 10 minutes of sitting down. The location was ideal for our walking plans and was an easy, quick drive into Keswick if needed.

Location

Stayed in June 2025

Had a lovely two night stay at Hermiston guest house which is situated in a lovely location with stunning views to the front of the property and a short drive to Keswick. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Had a lovely breakfast and a good selection of food on the menu which is ordered the night before so there is no waiting when you go down to breakfast the following morning.

Nothing not to like

Had a lovely stay with my mum at Hermiston Guest House. Phil and Helen we're a lovely couple. Right from are arrival to going home we felt at home. Enjoyed are cups of tea and cake on arrival from our days out and talking to the other guests in the lounge which was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good with plenty to choose from. Room was also very comfortable with lovely views, bonus it was a ground floor room which was great for mum.Would definitely recommend.

Proper guesthouse with very friendly and attentive hosts. They get the perfect balance between being helpful and informative while not being intrusive. On top of that, the service is as precise as you'd expect from a good hotel. Our room was spotless and had a great view. The area is beautiful and less touristy than other parts of the Lake District. Even so, there's a good array of nearby options to eat and if that's not enough, you're still very close to Keswick which has everything and all the connections you might need. Very happy to have chosen accommodation close to Buttermere, which is unspoilt and great for hiking. Be aware that the guesthouse is part of a private home. It has been expertly adapted to provide accommodation, still the building is fundamentally not built as a hotel so residents and guests have to be considerate of each other. The accommodation part of the house is well separated from the residential side which works very well and there's also shared space providing amenities for the guests. There's a small terrace to unwind, a reading area, some board games in case you've forgotten to pack yours. All in all it was perfect and allowed us to have a relaxed holiday without resorting to self-catering.
