I’m very excited to share this news with you, Nigel and I are the very proud owners of Clarence House Guest house in Keswick. It’s been a dream of ours for many years and the last six months has seen the dream start to become reality.
Clarence House is a gorgeous Victorian guest house with five ensuite rooms, four doubles and one twin. All rooms are tastefully decorated with modern facilities and of course a few paintings add interest among the walls.
Based on Eskin street just five minutes from the town centre and ten minutes stroll to Derwentwater so perfectly based for anyone wanting to sample the delights of Keswick.
If you fancy a few days relaxing in the Lakes, do get in touch and come and sample our Cumbrian Breakfasts.
Clarence House , 14 Eskin Street, KESWICK, Cumbria, CA124DQ

I grew up with the books of Beatrix Potter her words and beautiful paintings inspired me, to paint and have an interest in wildlife. On visiting the Lake District many years ago, my first stop was Hill Top at Near Sawry to see where this wonderful lady had lived and painted.
Now living not too far from Derwentwater is a pure joy, to be inspired along the lake shore when taking my sketchbook on a walk.
Stopping when something catches my eye for a quick sketch.
I find this an ideal way gain reference material to work from at a later stage or back in the studio, you see much more than a photograph.
A sketchbook journal is such an inspiration to look back on, filled with many memories and places that have visited.

I felt inspired to paint Castlerigg Stone Circle in watercolours with fresh snow blowing wildly and a little sunshine to warm this cold March day. This magical scene is just a mile from Keswick with 360 degrees views of glorious fells.
