As a very elderly gentleman with the usual problems of old age, it was so pleasing to find that Tina and Bernie were so welcoming and went out of their way to take care of me and look after me so well. Food was beautifully prepared and served. Bed was comfortable and warm. The shower was reviving after a long... More

Always an excellent stay, I felt The Cartwheel had somehow managed to improve on its already high standards. A friendly welcome, a warm, clean & comfy room, hot shower, beautiful breakfast. Well done Tina & Bernie.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Keswick. Immaculately clean, nicely decorated and very friendly and welcoming. Lots of little extras I wasn't expecting, dressing gown, hairdryer, corkscrew, wine glass and water glass, lovely soft thick towels and tea and coffee making facilities. I was here after a days walking as some friends were also staying in... More

Beautifully decorated, wonderfully comfortable beds and great bath/shower rooms. Such great value. Delicious breakfast selection, top marks for the smoked salmon! Tina and Bernie are such attentive hosts and couldn't have done more to make our stay better! We will certainly be returning.
