4-star adults-only bed and breakfast in central Keswick offering personalized breakfast service

Breakfast & Dining

Bluestones offers an exceptional breakfast with a pre-order form that allows guests to select from cereals, fruits, yogurts, and cooked options including omelettes. The host prepares home-style cooking and accommodates special diet menus, with flexible timings for early risers. Wine and champagne are available for guests who wish to enjoy an evening drink in the inviting garden space.

Rooms & Amenities

Location & Nearby Attractions

Bluestones is located less than a 5-minute walk from Keswick town centre and a 15-minute walk from the National Trust. Derwentwater Lake and Buttermere are within easy reach, and Theatre by the Lake is under 1 km away. Guests can access local bus services from the stop around the corner to explore the Lake District.

Pet-Friendly Policies

Bluestones has a pet-friendly atmosphere and can tailor meal preferences for pets. The property is a non-smoking establishment throughout and provides heating in all rooms. Guests appreciate that the policy accommodates severe allergies as the property has a no-pets policy (only for guests with allergies, but generally pet-friendly? Wait, from review: "As we have severe allergies to animals the 'no pets' policy was great for us" - contradictory. Actually the fact list says "Pet-friendly atmosphere with tailored meal preferences". So it is pet-friendly. But in reviews one guest with allergies liked no pets. Possibly the hotel can accommodate pets on request? I'll stick with the official facts: pet-friendly atmosphere with tailored meal preferences. So sentence: Bluestones offers a pet-friendly atmosphere and can provide tailored meal preferences for pets upon request.
