Paddock House Reviews

Victoria
Lovely stay at Paddock House. In a beautiful location and the views are fabulous. Paddock House had everything we needed with good quality glassware, tableware and plenty of lovely mugs. The table tennis table was erected when we arrived so we had to put it away as it was not needed and in the way spoiling the feel of the place. The property could do with a tumble dryer. We had a dry week but had it have been a wet one we would have needed a tumble dryer or a bootdrying room as nothing worse than having clothes hung over radiators. The welcome gift credit at the deli was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend Paddock House.
Hayley
Amazing property. Accommodates fully for 6 adults with so much space. Cannot fault any of it. We loved it that much we have booked Paddock House for next September! Cannot wait to be back. The best bit for us, the unbelievable breathtaking view!
Angelo
On Arrival found a lovely welcome pack, Well looked after, very clean, all you need to have meals there, Only thing we notice a few escape holes from the garden if you have a small dog,Lovley stay thank you so Much. Angelo and Family x
Beautiful property with the most stunning view. Paddock house had everything we needed for the week. The information on what to do in the area , the table tennis , hot tub and games were very welcome. We didn't want to leave
Lovely cottage with beautiful view. We had a very enjoyable holiday thanks to the owner of the property. Arrived to find 10 tog winter duvet on the beds, called Sykes to request summer duvets as the rooms become very hot in summer. Sykes answer was sorry there is nothing we can do for you. Fortunately I had the email address of the owner, she kindly arranged summer duvet to be delivered the next day, it was much appreciated.
This really is an excellent holiday cottage. All of the rooms and facilities were of a very high standard and very comfortable. Heating and hot water on demand, plenty of space for everyone, bathrooms and kitchen very well equipped. We enjoyed the games, books, table tennis and hot tub. The view is wonderful. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay and would love to return one day.
A very good house in an outstanding and convenient location, with all rooms designed to maximise the wonderful views of Lake Windermere and the surroundings. The owner provided a generous welcome box, for which many thanks. The bedrooms and en suites are all very comfortable, of good quality, and everything functioned fully as expected. A most enjoyable stay and we would certainly consider visiting again. One addition that would enhance the property would be some improved means for drying walking gear, pet towels etc, overnight, even if just a tumble dryer. Better use could probably be made of the garage space to provide a boot room and drying facilities, knowing how wet the Lake's weather can sometime be!
Louise
The property and setting is absolutely stunning! Beautiful welcome box! Thank you! We had an amazing week! That would have been even better if we could actually had a half decent shower! I can understand water pressure can be slower, but to only have dribbles you cant even wash soap off never mind rinse your hair! Upstairs actually the water stopped altogether! Even the sink taps upstairs water stopped! Such a shame! Made it very difficult to use the hot tub! How are you able to shower before and after when this is happening!? I felt that there were areas that needed deeper cleaning, downstairs bathroom radiator yellow stains. Dust around the bedroom, chairs stained and mismatched. Beds and bed linen really good! Considering there is a hot tub, more towels would be helpful? There were blades from a Stanley knife left in upstairs bedroom. Overall it was amazing! But just really let down by the water situation! Put me off using the hot tub! Which was one of the reasons we booked it.
A fantastic property and we loved our stay. The only drawback for us was that the garden, although enclosed, was not secure which meant we were unable to let our springer off lead whilst at the property as he could easily get through the fencing even though he's not a small dog. Biggest issue we had was with Sykes we asked a simple question regarding a clothes airer and their response was We advise if you really need a particular item to use during your stay, to take your own. We wouldn't ask an owner to confirm this. It turns out there were 2 airers at the property, so we took ours for no reason at all and as it is quite a bulky item to have to pack we were not impressed. As this service falls below our expectations of good customer service, we are not looking at using Sykes again when booking our next holiday in the UK and will not recommend them to our friendsfamily. A shame, as the property itself is fantastic and well maintained.
Elizabeth
Paddock House. ..WOW...this was absolutely fantastic, it was everything and more , I would... and I have... recommended this property to all my family and friends and we will be definitely be coming back, what a place to sstay and enjoy the Lake District,
Jacqui
Beautifully decorated house in a glorious setting with views you will never tire of. Spent the week feeling blissed out and totally relaxed after a hectic year. . Loved the bedrooms upstairs felt like you were in a hotel. We had some wonderful evenings in the hot tub looking at star filled skies. . Enjoyed all of our walks from some old Lake District favourites but using the owners cards and book of the area also explored some new places and had some great walks from the door too. Lots of very thoughtful touches which combined with the house, views and location make this is a very special place to stay.

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.
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.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 16 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 19 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.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 21 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...
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 23 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
