I had a fantastic stay at Rickerby Grange Country House, with a welcoming ambiance and thoughtful touches throughout. My room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, which was a definite highlight. The breakfast was hearty and delicious, setting me up perfectly for my days exploring Keswick. Though there were minor details that could use attention, like room information updates, it was an overall wonderful experience.

However, while the breakfast selection was nice, the quality of foods like the eggs and bacon left something to be desired.

I enjoyed my stay at Rickerby Grange Country House, appreciating the convenient location near Keswick for exploring the area. The self-check-in process was straightforward, and I found the room clean, though it could have been more thoughtfully decorated for comfort. The breakfast was delicious, but the lack of staff presence during the stay made the atmosphere feel somewhat lacking. Overall, I think it’s a decent place but would rate it closer to a 3-star experience rather than a 4-star one.

I had a lovely stay at Rickerby Grange Country House, where the friendly owners, Des and Carol, really made me feel at home. The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding lakes, but I did find some cleanliness issues that detracted from my overall experience, such as a couple of squashed crisps in the sofa. The breakfast was delicious and truly a highlight of my stay with its tasty homemade offerings.
