Amenities & Facilities

Acorn House provides a large car park with unrestricted parking for all 10 letting rooms, a rare find in central Keswick. The hotel offers secure bike storage and dedicated drying facilities, catering directly to walkers and cyclists. A guest lounge with a real log fire, a summer entrance conservatory, and an outdoor decked seating area with a covered pergola are available for guest use.

Accommodation

The property consists of ten spacious en-suite rooms, each individually designed, with options including luxury four-poster beds, king, twin, family, and ground-floor rooms. A lower studio apartment offers a private entrance, king-size bed, luxury futon sofa, and a small kitchenette without cooking facilities. All rooms feature hospitality trays and flat-screen smart TVs, with the building combining Georgian architecture and modern luxury.

Location

Acorn House is situated a short walk from Keswick town centre and the lakeshore of Derwentwater, placing guests within easy reach of shops and restaurants. The hotel sits close to Borrowdale Valley and Scafell Pike, making it a base for outdoor activities. Secure bike storage and private parking allow guests to explore the Lake District National Park without transport worries.

Dining

The hotel holds a Visit England Breakfast Award and serves an extensive breakfast menu featuring locally sourced produce, including a Lakeland full breakfast and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. Guests pre-order their breakfast the night before, a system that reduces food waste and ensures fresh preparation. All dietary requirements are catered for, with a menu that sets the property apart from standard B&Bs.

Outdoor Spaces & Garden

A newly constructed outdoor decked seating area with a covered pergola offers a sheltered space for guests to relax. The hotel has a beautiful garden area with outdoor seating and a pond, providing a quiet retreat. A sun porch (summer entrance conservatory) connects the indoor lounge to the garden, extending usable space in warmer months.
