Rowan Keld is a family-run bed and breakfast in the quiet Lakeland village of Portinscale near Keswick. We have two double en-suite rooms, both recently redecorated to a high standard. We have an open house policy so you have access to your room throughout the day. The secluded house is set well back from the road and has ample private parking space, sufficient to accommodate trailered boats. Guests have use of the drying room (for the occasional wet spell!) and are welcome to explore the large, wildlife-friendly garden. Enjoy a cup of tea (or even breakfast) in the garden and see if you can add any more species to our list. The beautiful lake of Derwentwater is situated just a five minute walk from the house. Rowan Keld is strictly non smoking. |

| The Location | |||
| text | Portinscale is a small, quiet village, within easy walking distance of Keswick and is an ideal place for exploring the North-Western Fells. Rowan Keld is also a perfect overnight stop for walkers on the Coast to Coast or the Cumbrian Way. Enjoy a meal and a drink at any of the local pubs and restaurants. Rowan Keld is within easy walking distance of many excellent walks. It is only 20 minutes walking distance from Fawe Park, where Beatrix Potter spent a number of Summer Holidays. It is also within walking distance of Lingholm Woods which Beatrix Potter featured in her book, 'The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin'. For those venturing further afield, there are many Lake District lakes and mountains within easy reach. The Lake District is a haven for wildlife and Portinscale is close to many interesting habitats. | ||
| Photography | |||
| The Lake District can be a photographers worst nightmare with constantly changing lighting conditions and a topography that ensures that the sun always in the wrong place! However get the right scene with the right lighting and the results can be exquisite. Many people produce outstanding pictures of the fells and lakes that they cherish for years. Photography is one of our hobbies and we will help you to get the results you want. We have a number of facilities that are available for your use. We also have a very well mannered border collie who will be only too pleased to pose for your photographs! | |||
| The Rooms | |||
| Both rooms have double bed, an easy chair, central heating, hospitality tray, clock radio, colour TV with teletext and a DVD player for your CDs and DVDs. Each room has a selection of DVDs or they can be hired locally. One en-suite has a power-shower, the other has an electric shower. |
|
||
| The Breakfast | |||
| Cereals, fruit and a full English breakfast with free-range eggs (always) and locally sourced produce where available. A vegetarian or vegan cooked breakfast is also available. | |||
