Cranford House Reviews

This is a very nice townhouse over three floors in fairly central Keswick, and accommodated 11 family members this October half term very comfortably.

Charlotte

What a gorgeous property. Beautiful decor, well proportioned rooms. Lovely that all the rooms were so nice and there was no scramble for the best! Great facilities, perfectly clean and really good location. Cant recommend it highly enough.

Catherine

Fantastic comfortable well equipped house. Spotlessly clean. Great facilities. Really enjoyed our stay. Great location. Quiet no noise but only a ten miutes max walk to town centre. Having a hot tub is fabulous. Only very minor thing back garden with hot tub is not at all secure for even a small dog. But this would not prevent me from staying here again.

Lovely house with lots of space for a big group. Excellent location.

Responsive and understanding owner, cleaners and maintenance team. Excellent communicators. Managed expectations well. High quality home, with all necessary facilities. Very well set up. Good views from top floor. Character home with charm. Hot tub lots of fun. Only thing I could think to suggest would be a slightly bigger fridge for a large group!

Danielle

The place was amazing & better than described!

The house is absolutely stunning, there is everything you would need and it is only a short work to the centre of Keswick. The rooms are very spacious and theres plenty to do. I had the best time

Michaela

My family and I stayed for my fathers 60th birthday. The house was beautifully presented, perfect location short walk away from the main high street in Keswick and was very clean and tidy. We did find the mattresses were too soft which disturbed sleep but that is personal preference. There is plenty of room to sit and relax and have your meals and the tv room was great for the kids! Who also loved the hot tub which was clean.

Rachel

We loved our stay at Cranford House, plenty of room for a group of 11 girls bedrooms were spacious and showerbathroom facilities were great. The big fridgefreezer and 2 ovens were really helpful when preparing food for everyone. The house had everything we needed and only a short walk into Keswick for a meal after a big day out walking. The hot tub was brilliant, although access to this is by the side of the house and a public walkway so you have to be quick getting in. We found parking on the street fine. Overall, we would definetly recommend and stay again. Thank you!

Stayed at this property as we were working in the area. The house is outstanding and in an ideal location just a few minutes walk from the main street of Keswick. Spotlessly clean and very well decorated. Loads of space with a big living room, dining room and kitchen to go with the 7 bedrooms. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! I would definitely recommend using this property if you plan to visit the area in a larger group.

Vivien

Cranford house has everything going for it. It's comfortably furnished, well proportioned, ideal for large groups and near the centre of Keswick. The house has been recently renovated to a high standard. Our party comprised of 8 adults, 4 children, a baby and a dog. Everyone fitted in and felt comfortable. We had a couple of small issues which were promptly dealt with by our contact Sarah. We would stay there again.

We were supposed to stay somewhere else but the landlord changed the room configuration which wouldnt have worked for our group. The good news is that we were offered Cranford House! This was exactly what we had been looking for and all of us were extremely happy. We were a family group of two elderly parents, adults, teens and dogs. All of us were well catered for. The house has great character and is large, spotlessly clean, in an excellent position and had everything we could wish for. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils. Plenty of bedding, hot water and great space for cooking and dining. Downstairs en suite bedroom was ideal for grandparents. A short walk to shops and we were able to park on the road without hassle. Also a short walk to Fitz Park. Thank you to the host and I am sure we will return

Stayed at Cranford House for a 3 day weekend along with our two children, their partners and our five grandchildren aged 12 to 20 eleven people altogether. Cranford House was beautiful, the photographs were very accurate, the beds were comfortable and benefited from ensuite in five of the seven bedrooms, there was also a lovely bathroom with separate shower, there was plenty of seating in the dining room and lounge for everyone and we spent the evenings playing board games and enjoying being able to be together as a family. Keswick town is only a short walk away, a fabulous market on Thursday and Saturday and there was plenty of choice for eating out if required, Keswick is a dog friendly town and they are welcomed in many shops. The hot tub was well used during our stay. The owner had left coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing tabs, pan scrubs and dish cloth all of which I took because I expected to have to provide my own!. I would love to return to Cranford House.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

about 6 Miles

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

about 8 Miles

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years. There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk. For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families. Corporate groups are also well catered for.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU

about 12 Miles

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP

about 21 Miles

This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out. You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles. If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files. We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU

about 29 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
