this place is unbelievably good! sue and steve are the nicest hosts ever, super welcoming with homemade ginger cake and tea at arrival. the king size room had AMAZING views of the lake. It was so clean and comfy. breakfast every morning had loads of options and was cooked to perfection. location was chill too, just a quick walk to keswick centre.

the parking space was a bit tight and it could get crowded at times. also, it would be nice to have a fridge in the room.

a warm and cozy welcome with homemade ginger cake to start your stay at skiddaw croft

Warm hospitality, stunning views.

Consider bringing a small cooler. it will help keep your snacks fresh for those long walks to Keswick's eateries.

our stay at skiddaw croft was fantastic! the small double room with fell views was beautifully furnished and very clean. the breakfasts were delicious and cooked to order, perfect for setting out on a day of exploring. the location was great, amidst stunning lakes and fells, and just a short walk from all our favorite spots.

totally recommend

The spacious common areas were beautifully decorated and incredibly welcoming. I loved the cozy lounge where I could relax and unwind after a lovely day exploring the Lake District's stunning surroundings. It felt just like home!

More accessible seating in the dining area.

The room was spotless with stunning views, and it was great to have coffee and biscuits waiting for us. Enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful garden and cozy TV room after a day of exploring. The only thing was that the bathroom was down a flight of stairs, but it wasn't a big deal. I’d definitely recommend it! 😊

Perfect for Solo Travelers

The breakfast was a revelation! Every morning I reveled in the local delights, it was like a feast fit for a king. Sue and Steve were so helpful, they even provided me with binoculars for the fine mountain views which were just magnificent! I could sit there, morning coffee in hand, just soaking in the beauty.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but for the experience I had, it was acceptable.

Immaculately clean rooms with beautiful views, perfect for a short getaway. The thoughtful touches like sweet treats and the option to replenish tea and coffee made the stay enjoyable. Friendly hosts offered excellent breakfast options, with highlights including poached eggs on sourdough. The location allowed for easy access to local walks, making it a fantastic base to explore the area.

The breakfast was a proper feast! I couldn't get enough of the poached eggs on sourdough—absolute banger! Plus, the beautiful cakes in the nearby café were a treat for my sweet tooth. Oh, and Debbie’s hospitality? Top-notch, just like the clean, cozy rooms with stunning views!

The bathroom was a bit of a trek, down a flight of stairs, but it wasn't a dealbreaker—still enjoyed my stay to bits!

We had an amazing time with stunning lake views and attentive hosts. We visited Buttermere and Derwentwater, both a must-see! Breakfast was delicious, with fresh local produce. The cozy rooms made our stay even better. Highly recommend this spot for a getaway with friends!

The only downside was that there was no option for late check-out, which would have been nice after such a long stay.

great stay but not perfect

The hosts clearly went out of their way to enhance our experience. Their thoughtful touches, like the grab and go breakfast and the binoculars for lake views, made a noticeable difference.

Check-in wasn’t as smooth as I expected.

pleasant stay with stunning views

The breakfast offered a remarkable variety, especially the poached eggs with avocado on sourdough. The room featured thoughtful touches like a cosy blanket, making it perfect for relaxation.

The room could benefit from a few more modern amenities.
