Tony and Shirley gave us a really warm welcome serving us tea and home made cake. Superb location on the main Keswick Ambleside road and only 10mins walk into the village centre. The accommodation was second to none with wonderful views from our bedroom which had everything we needed. The breakfasts were fabulous with plenty of choice. Nothing is too... More

Despite four days of rail, hail and a little sun, Tony & Shirley always had a warm welcome. Their breakfasts were superb and we had a very enjoyable stay in their home. Our room had everything we needed and a comfortable guests' lounge. The views from our room were stunning even with low cloud! Would certainly recommend this B&B in... More

We have stayed at Dunmail House 3 times now. We are always given a very warm welcome by Tony and Shirley. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and the bed linen and towels are of the highest quality.

Just returned home from Grasmere today. At Dunmail House there is always a warm welcome, comfortable rooms and top jolly breakfasts. A perfect base for hill-walking and no need to use the car! You can also walk to several excellent restaurants in the village. Having sampled many other hostelries in the area, in my view, this one is the best... More

I went to Dunmail House for a retreat. The house is very homely, clean and comfortable. I spent a lot of time in the guest lounge relaxing and admiring the view. I'm a fussy eater and never really feel I get value for money because everywhere I go breakfasts are standard. At Dunmail House it is very person centered. They... More
