The Mount B&B - Bed & Breakfast in Cumbria
Portinscale, Keswick, CA12 5RD, Cumbria
England,
Reino Unido
The Mount is let as a B&B during school time and a self-catering home during the school holidays. It's a great place for couples and families, with activities galore nearby and a warm, friendly space to return to. Walk - in your wet suit - to the marina and have a sailing lesson, paddle in a kayak or go for a spin on the water in the Keswick Launch.
Breakfast comes with Clive's delicious bread, locally cured bacon and conserves produced by a friend who's a dab hand at jam-setting; your dog will be perky - he gets a sausage too. You can eat outside in the award-winning garden when it's sunny.
There are five bedrooms to choose from - they all have those wake-up views. If you fancy sleeping out under the stars the shepherd's hut for one is cosy with a wood-burner, sink and loo (hop back to your private shower in the house). You don't have to get in the car for dinner – there is a pub in the village and many more in Keswick, a 20-minute walk.

Local points of interest from Caroline Howarth:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Caroline Howarth:
- Want to climb one of Britain’s favourite mountains, like Catbells? Dreaming of a beautiful mountain scene all to yourselves? Training for K2 or keen to introduce your 3 year old to the joys of fell walking – we can find the perfect walk right from the door
- If you have not joined the wild swimming craze, The Lakes is the perfect place to try it. Imagine a lake swim in the evening sun. Even a quick dip on a cold day is exhilarating. Take care though: it is an extreme sport – you may be hooked for life! We are!
- What do 6 restaurants in The Lakes with Michelin stars have in common with us? The same local butter! So not only are there amazing restaurants nearby, but The Mount has the very best local produce: the crispest bacon, the zingiest marmalade, and fab art.
- Fancy learning to sail, in a stunning lake with beautiful mountains around you? Want good instructors, nice hot showers and a fantastic café on the lakeshore? Prefer kayaking, paddleboarding or windsurfing? Look no further – that’s all just a 5 minute walk
- What kind of festivals are you into? Jazz, beer, literary, film or mountain? Keswick has them all! As well as world-class theatre and the old cinema. The market is a great place to potter. You'll come away with arty mugs, Cumbrian chilli jam or local slate
- Set in stunning scenery, combining Cumbrian mining and adventure tourism, Honister is an exciting place both for adrenaline junkies as well as young families seeking an unforgettable holiday. Bad weather? A guided tour or climbing in the mine is perfect!
