Phil was a great host and was so kind to accommodate our late arrival/check-in. Great selection of cooked breakfasts to choose from and the whin latter room we stayed in was very comfortable and handyvit was on the ground floor. The local surrounding area of Keswick and Derwentwater lakes were beautiful.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hermingston. It was ideally placed for our walks & the bus stopped just outside which was great. We visited 2 local pubs for meals that were recommend to us which were in walking distance & both were really good. Would definitely stay at the Hermingston again

The breakfast came hot, well cooked and plentiful. The view over Skiddaw was beautiful. The B&B was in an excellent location, with easy access to all the Lakes and cumbrian coast. Easy access to and from the main routes.

When we stayed at Hermiston, we were made to feel very welcome. The room was immaculate and there was also a very comfortable and cosy lounge for guests to sit in as well as a garden if desired. Breakfast was cooked to order and quality and presentation was excellent.

Phil and Helen took great care to make the breakfasts fit our needs with lots of choices. Great welcoming and conversation. We enjoyed our two nights. Comfy bed and though the shower knobs took a bit to sort out we enjoyed the shower after long days of touring and walking. Myriad thanks!

We thought the hosts were really lovely and the location of the guesthouse was ideal for us for walking. There are two pubs within walking distance which serve fantastic food: Coledale inn and Royal Oak. However, we had a downstairs room and seemed to have been really unlucky with the guests upstairs who woke us up every hour during the night. Thankfully, we were only staying a couple of nights as we were absolutely exhausted by the end. Would recommend a stay, just maybe ask for an upstairs room.

We highly recommend Hermiston. It's well located - easy to get to and find, just off the main road and a short walk to the handful of lovely pubs and restaurants in Braithwaite. You'll get a warm welcome and peace and quiet. The guesthouse is spotless with an excellent breakfast - just what you'll need before heading out.

The Hermiston Guest House is a big step-up in the genre of B&B accommodations. Proprietors Phil & Helen go to great lengths to insure that every guest is comfortable and has everything they need. We will definitely stay here again whenever we are in the Lake District. Exceptional!
