Situated in the peaceful village of Thornthwaite, close to Keswick in the Northern Lake District, Jenkin Hill Cottage Guest House offers a warm, friendly welcome and very comfortable holiday accommodation, exclusively for non-smokers.
Whether you wish to book just bed and breakfast, dinner B&B or just take the occasional evening meal in, you are sure to have a good relaxing time
Thornthwaite Village rests between Thornthwaite Forest and
Bassenthwaite Lake. This is a quiet and peaceful village just 3 miles from
the centre of Keswick, an excellent base for visiting the North Lakes, and
only a half hour's drive from South Lakeland or the Cumbrian coast, or an
hour away from Carlisle and Hadrian's Wall. This is a very popular area for
ornithologists, with a wide variety of bird life, a hide for viewing water
fowl beside Bassenthwaite Lake and the added bonus of Ospreys nesting just
a short distance away.

Hill Cottage was originally built to accommodate the gardener for the nearby
Manor House. The cottage has been enlarged, updated and upgraded to provide
high quality guest accommodation in a very peaceful garden location. With
well appointed bedrooms, good hearty breakfasts and delicious evening meals
served in a relaxed, informal atmosphere, a stay here can provide the basis
of a really excellent holiday. In addition we are able to cater for most
special diets, including gluten
free.
There is a large car park and well stocked gardens for guests to enjoy, with a wide variety of plants, shrubs and trees. The gardens were awarded a Commended certificate in the Keswick-in-Bloom, 2007 competition, and first prize in the country establishment category in 2010. View a video clip of plants in our garden.
Jenkin Hill Cottage is inspected each year by VisitBritain and has a Four Star grading with a Silver Award, an award which has been held every year since 1999.
