Another birthday in the house!! Another cake by the talented @penkarangelova š„° how good does THIS look?? Birthdays, weddings and bar mitzvahs catered for š¤£ š#homemade #homemadecake #lakedistrict #portinscale #bedandbreakfast
Itās meant to be cold@this weekend, but Lily is warm and so am I. Not so bad for a Lake District getaway after all. Ears light up at the cuckoo! #cuckoo #catbells #lakedistrictuk #lakedistrictwalks #dogsofinstagram #bankholiday
Day out together speaking @thebelsfield with @the_cumberland @windermerelakecruises #cumbriatourism #husbandandwifeteam (sometimes, not always), so interesting to hear from other Cumbrian businesses and insight from #cumbriatourism thanks š to everyone we thoroughly enjoyed it - next time can we stay a bit longer?! šø
These boots are made for walking... or maybe not so much! These boots and team Rickerby are off to talk about surviving year 1 of the big move courtesy of @the_cumberland at @thebelsfield enjoying some Thirlmere views on route #cumbriatourism #belsfieldhotel #thirlmere #bedandbreakfast #husbandandwifeteam (sometimes, not always)
Team Rickerby pretty excited to be invited to speak @thebelsfield #belsfieldhotel tomorrow by @the_cumberland and #cumbriatourism . Year 1 ITS ALL ABOUT SURVIVAL and more generally āAre You Ready for 2020ā? We arenāt sure if we are ready for 2019 let alone 2020 but we can certainly wax lyrical about survival... keeping it to 20 minutes might be tricky! Excited to hear other speakers from @windermerelakecruises and #cumbriatourism #newbusinessowner #bedandbreakfast #lakedistrict #belsfieldhotellauraashley #notjustthelakes #butwhatarewegoingtowear
No Jasper we said... stand back from the cake. But we were too late. Without a minute to spare, Jasper slid into a sugar coma.
This weekend Rickerby Grange is home to Jasper the reception š¦ Giraffe. The royal visit started with a Friday night dog race and a visit to the pub.... obviously š can you spot Jasper? #jasperthegiraffe #lakedistrict #portinscale #fridaynight #notjustlakes #dogsofinstagram #walkingwithkids
Saying goodbye to a magical Easter weekend basked in sunshine has been tough on team Rickerby. Take a close peek and you can see three maroon *school* jumpers eeking out some Tuesday evening sunshine. Putting the uniform back on this morning was hard work all round... but the sun is still shining, summer nights are fabulously long and Rickerby Grangeās doors are still open... come and see us #lakedistrict #bedandbreakfast #portinscale #keswick #notjustlakes #tuesday #humpdayvibes #tuesdaymotivation #skiddaw #thelakedistrict
Last minute Lake District getaway? In the sunshine āļø? Due to a last minute cancellation we have a gorgeous room free this Easter weekend from Friday all the way through until Monday. And itās meant to be a be-a-uty of a weekend. Crisp cotton sheets, views of Skiddaw and a spanking new bathroom. Share with anyone who might be tempted, give us a ring or drop us a line. ā° š š
This Sundayās major strategic decision... which way for Sunday lunch. @swinsideinn it is. Okay, so thatās basically always the decision. Blessed with the choice even if we always make the same one. And the mooch there and back #newlandsbeck #sunday #sundayvibes #portinscale #lakedistrict #sundaylunch
š§ CAKE alert!!! So many of our guests use Rickerby Grange as a base to climb the fells (why wouldnāt you?) And when they kept telling us that they just š @penkarangelova ās cakes and that these cakes were helping them summit Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Causey Pike and all our other local beasts we thought āwhy donāt we give them moreā?! So from now on all our guests can take some of the bounty on their walks. Winner winner chicken dinner. #cake #homemade #homemadecake #chocolatecake #newadventures #lakedistrict #bedandbreakfast #notjustthelakes #portinscale #worldheritage #getout

Just having a chat about the weather. And what weather it was - ā 5 kids, 3 dogs and a trip up towards āArd Crags in what can only be described as the Lake Districts finest. Donāt let the weather put you off... #lakedistrict #walkingwithkids #dogfriendly #ardcrags #wainwrights #notjustlakes
Choosing nine of the best quite tricky for a year of SO MUCH. Particularly sad not to be able to include @missflissross on a tandem...

Wonderful place. Beautiful quiet location in the peaceful little village of Portinscale yet Keswick so close. Fantastic cooked breakfast using local ingredients. Friendly owners and staff Plus large car park
Powerful easy to use shower
Lovely views of the fells
Dogs are welcome in some rooms - best going into the car whilst you have breakfast. But you can see your car from the breakfast tables. Lovely little walks round the village. Two marinas close by. So you can walk down to the lakeside There was no food at the local pub but we enjoyed a lovely meal at the Derwentwater hotel. Just 500 yards away
The other two evenings we ate in Keswick - the Dog and Gun food was excellent
What an amazing place. Supper friendly and warm staff. Wonderful location. Went for a long weekend and i cannot wait to go back. Thank you Charlotte for your hospitality.
We stayed for three nights and can't wait to go back. Hosts Phil and Charlotte provide a warm and friendly welcome. The rooms are great value, and are clean, quiet and comfortable, with TV and free Wi-fi. There is also a decent-sized car park. The breakfast was excellent and Phil told me he goes to great lengths to source the food locally. All in all, great hospitality and would recommend to anybody visiting the Keswick area or looking for a base to explore the Lake District.
We stayed 3 nights 16th-18th March for my Wifeās birthday and Roccoās birthday, itās a Great location, lovely breakfast, happy adapt as I canāt eat pork, thank you! Phil and Charlotte were great very attentive making sure we were warm enough over the cold snap. Had a great stay looking forward to seeing the upgrades when they are all done ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½
We have just recently stayed at Rickerby Grange to find our room very comfortable and clean. The family were very friendly and accommodated our dog with enthusiasm.
The breakfast was hearty just the job for walking up the mountains.
Would definitely stay at Rickerby Grange again for our next holiday
We had a wonderful stay at Rickerby Grange. Exceptionally clean, comfy beds, generous breakfasts. We particularly loved that it was a family run guesthouse and appreciated the warm hospitality of Charlotte, Phil and their boys. The town is small but there is a good pub close by and the walk to Keswick was a good way to take in the fresh air. It was actually nice to be slightly removed from the Easter hustle and bustle. Thank you!
We had a fantastic 2 night stay here. The location is excellent, loads to do close by. The B&B is very nice, we felt very comfortable and relaxed there and they were very accommodating to our young son. Ran by a lovely welcoming couple, we would highly recommend and will return next time we visit Keswick. Thank you for a great weekend Rickerby.
We absolutely loved our stay at Rickerby Grange. Great rooms, warm welcome, excellent breakfast.... perfect for families. Charlotte and Phil are amazing hosts and couldn't do enough to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves. We especially loved being able to go on incredible walks straight from the guesthouse - no need for the car. We can't wait to go back to Rickerby and would encourage everyone to get up there and enjoy the fresh air and stunning views!
My fiancƩe and I stayed for two nights at Rickerby Grange over the Easter holidays and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Our room was warm, comfortable and spacious with fantastic views of the nearby fells. The breakfast was excellent: smoked salmon and scrambled egg or a full English (including the nicest black pudding I've ever tasted!), with toast and choice of cereals. Phil and Charlotte were so welcoming and friendly, not to mention very helpful, giving us lots of useful tips on great places to eat, hike and go sightseeing. Also, their kids were just adorable and very polite, eager to help serve up breakfast (how often do you get your toast delivered by Superman?!). The family have only recently taken over at Rickerby Grange and are clearly doing a fantastic job; we definitely plan to book with them again when we next visit the Lake District!
Lovely stay in a lovely place. Staff really friendly and helpful. Room was great and breakfast was delicious, cooked well with great local produce, even saw the eggs being delivered! Would highly recommend.
Lovely family run business. 30 second walk from nice pub the farmers arms and a short walk into Keswick town centre. Really welcoming place, would definitely recommend!
Lovely family run bed and breakfast .... 10 min walk into Keswick. Fantastic welcome from a lovely couple. Rooms are ideal with some fantastic views. Breakfast was great with fantastic selection ..... we loved our stay, highly recommend.
Lovely 2 night stay. Gorgeous BnB, really comfy beds. We both got a great night's sleep! Lovely breakfast and perfect location for local walks/walking to Keswick. We'll be back!
Had just a single night away this weekend. Lovely welcome, nice rooms and a great breakfast. Coupled with a torchlit walk to The Pheasant Inn over at Crosthwaite for dinner, making a splendid weekend. Will certainly stay again
