Silverdale Guesthouse, a property with a shared lounge, is located in Keswick, 17 km from Buttermere, 32 km from Askham Hall, as well as 35 km from World of Beatrix Potter. It is set 3.3 km from Derwentwater Lake and offers luggage storage space. Lake Windermere is 41 km away and Cat Bells is 7.8 km from the guest house. It was immediately apparent why this is one of the highest-rated properties in Keswick - very close to the bus stop for the service to/from Penrith, just outside the central part so that it is very quiet, very roomy for a solo traveller, a host who immediately made me feel welcome and a good breakfast every morning. It's also across the road from where the Threlkeld-Keswick Railway path starts, so that was one more point in its favor. The WiFi was consistently available, and the room was cool throughout the day. Definitely helped make my stay in Keswick worthwhile and enjoyable.
