Lovely b&b and very welcoming owner and we very much enjoyed our our stay, but did not appreciate being asked to remove dirty tea trays and rubbish from the room, and if we were happy , also to strip the bed and put used towels in a laundry basket !! Surely these services are what we are paying for ?

Autumn Break
The friendliness, the cleanliness, the delicious breakfast AND afternoon cake, plus Lake District products in the bathroom, added together with the amazing beauty of ‘The Lakes’, oh I almost forgot to add how well our Labrador was treated, our four night break could not have been better. All we can say is ‘Thank you’.

The place is very homely and Kate (the host) made sure that we feel comfortable and make the most of our time by suggesting things to do in the area. It was covid safe and very clean. The property is close to public transport and walking distance to main hiking spots. Also we didn't have pets with us but the house is definitely dog friendly and has all provisions for that. Inclusive breakfast was delicious and with really generous portions, enough to fill up until evening. Would stay there again!

A lovely place to stay with gracious hosts
What a lovely place to stay!! The room was large, comfortable, and cozy, and the bath was HUGE. We've stayed in hotel rooms smaller than that. Mary and Sean were very gracious hosts and helped us get our luggage up the flight of stairs. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, and Mary had several selections to choose from. Her scrambled eggs with Scottish salmon on toast were my favorite. We stayed three nights and would have stayed longer if our itinerary allowed. Highly recommend this quiet comfortable place to anyone staying in the area. An added bonus to our stay was a Scottish Highland night at the local park with music, Irish dancing, and a great pipe band.

Lovely hosts, attention to detail, time taken to talk to you and give helpful advise, welcomed our little dog, good location just outside of but within a few minutes walk of the village centre. We were in room 7 top floor facing the back garden. Nice and quiet. We’ve stayed in many guest houses over the years and it’s not often we say we’d return for a second visit but if we were to visit this area again we would definitely stay here.

Just perfect!
We feel so lucky to have found this place. Everything about it was perfect from the warm welcome, amazing breakfast, dog friendliness to the home-made cake in the afternoon!. Kate couldn't do enough for her guests and really made each and every one, including doggy guests, feel very welcome. She even gave peppermint foot cream to her guests that had been walking during the day. A very special place indeed!

Very welcoming for dogs and their humans
Kate is a fantastic host. Lovely breakfast and fresh fruit and Tea Pigs tea! Great fenced in garden for my dog. Very doggie-friendly apart from them not being allowed into breakfast, but the place is small enough to know they are safe in the room. My Labrador loved Kate's cooked sausages! All round lovely experience. On the downside, the showers aren't brilliant and could do with an upgrade. We'll be back!

A Gem!
What a fabulous B&B. Rhona and Tommy were very welcoming and serviced a fantastic breakfast. They were very welcoming to our dog which was really nice and felt we were home away from home. Great location and got a good recommendation from Tommy to go to their local pub. Bus stop was very close by and we didnt have to use our car the whole time we were there. 100% recommend and look forward to returning.

Lovely stay at a picturesque bed and breakfast!
The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed, and the breakfast was delicious. I especially appreciated that they had gluten-free bread and sausages available (I just had to give them a heads up the night before). It was a great experience and if our travels take us back to the Lake District, we'd definitely stay here again.

B&B
This B&B was made great by the owners Tommy and Rhona. When we left after three days of staying in their home we felt like we had made new friends. The English breakfast served every morning by both of them was wonderful and we could order all or part of it. The fruit bowl was the best we had at any B&B on our trip and Rhona's special mix to sprinkle on top was fabulous. Our room was clean and comfortable.

Great quiet, comfortable place!
Great place for adults! Most of the guests had been hiking, went to dinner and were back in their room before 10. Most of us were down for breakfast early and headed out for the day. The proprietors are friendly, helpful and all round wonderful people. It is about two miles to Keswick so there are no parties going on outside your window. There is a bus that drives by and cabs in Keswick but having a car makes life easier - in spite of driving on the wrong side of the road and the -//::;;;(())$&&@ round abouts.

A Warm Welcome at Maple Bank Hotel in Braithwaite
Rhona and Tom made us very welcome. The breakfasts were delicious and the service was excellent. The location was very private and peaceful. The room was very clean but on the small side. Overall we were very happy with our stay at Maple Bank Guest House. We would definitely go again and recommend it to family and friends.

This will do nicely for N Lake District..
Great stay in a fine little village near Keswick. Nicely located for anything to do with the N Lake District and also Hadrians Wall area easily accessible from it. Friendly, helpful owners and very comfortable all round. No public sitting area but it doesn't really matter for most people. Strongly recommended as a place to stay. Pleasant walk to local pubs and restaurants in the village.

A really lovely B&B in beautiful surroundings.
Everything about our stay was good. On arrival we were shown to a lovely twin bedded room, my daughter and I were both exhuasted after a very busy day. It was a relief to find a comfortable, clean, light room to relax in. The beds were very comfortable and we both had a wonderful night sleep. In the morning the breakfast was wonderful, with a selection of fruit, yogurts, cereal, fruit juices. Full English, plenty of toast and tea and coffee was served to table The owners were friendly and welcoming. Our second night was just as good. Another delicious breakfast. Wish we had booked longer, Maple Bank certainly compliments the Lake district.
