21st September 2021, guest from Oldham:
"Just returned from a 3 night stay at Lord's Seat. The property is situated in a quiet location in Thornthwaite with wonderful scenery all around. Keswick is approximately 4 miles away for restaurants, shopping etc. There are however other restaurants locally. Lord's Seat is a truly excellent B&B. John and his family are brilliant hosts. Our room had lots of space, was very clean and was well presented. There was a large bathroom with a walk in shower. Great breakfasts to start the day and John was very helpful with tips to make our stay more enjoyable. Excellent value for money - you will not be disappointed"

Tip:
"Very scenic short trip over to Buttermere Lake from Thornthwaite"

Would Recommend: Yes

"The Lord’s Seat is an exceptionally good B & B situated in the hamlet of Thornthwaite.
Very comfortable and spacious rooms with en-suite facilities which are finished to high standards.
Situated in a quiet and peaceful location yet within easy access to Keswick (5 minutes drive).
The owners are friendly and made us welcome.
There is a calm and peaceful atmosphere to the place and the breakfasts are very well prepared and presented, with a comprehensive selection.
We will certainly be making a return visit."

Tip:
"There are a number of pubs and restaurants close by in Braithwaite village which are well worth a visit. There is also a fine art gallery in Thornthwaite which has a cafe.
There are a number of woodland walks in Whinlatter Forrest which are directly accessible from Thornthwaite.
The towns of Keswick and Cockermouth are an easy drive away. Decent fell walking is almost on the doorstep such as Sale Fell and Grisedale Pike and several others. Main road access is via the A66 approximately 18 miles from the M6 junction at Penrith."

Would Recommend: Yes
