Immerse yourself in the wonder of the Lakes at Denton House. Nestled in the picture perfect Keswick you’ll be spoiled for choice, good walks and good pubs are abundant. With plenty to do in-between.
Of course if walking is your forte all you have to do is pick a direction. Expect stunning views (and a good few hills). The calm atmosphere of the Lake District is hard to match, ambling around it’s easy to let troubles melt away. A well deserved break after a difficult year, bring your bike and set out for the trails. Or bring your canoe and set out for a decidedly more adventurous trip. The hostel is well equipped for whatever you plan on getting up to and allows dogs by arrangement.

July 13th 2019
If you are thinking of doing the Bob Graham Round this year, Denton House Hostel in Keswick is the perfect place to stay. Great value, friendly and right on the route.
However fast you plan to do the Bob Graham Round you will need to think about accommodation. Make sure you put a night at Denton House on your list. Perfectly situated in Keswick, there will be a friendly face, lovely hot showers and warm comfortable beds waiting for you after your hard day clocking up summits. Whats more home cooked suppers, packed lunches and breakfasts are available to make your life that much easier. Please do remember to book your food when you book your bed.
For years I’d heard talk of the Bob Graham Round, and I was intrigued by it. I knew that it was impossible for me to travel 66 miles and climb 42 peaks (27,000 ft of ascent) in 24 hours. So I decided to do it my way, take it much slower and stay overnight in hostels along the way.
