  • "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.

  • "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 wouldn’t 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

    It was a pleasure to meet you and your family! We're so happy Cranford House worked out perfectly for your group, especially after the initial change of plans. We understand the importance of comfortable accommodations for all ages, and we're thrilled the house had everything you needed – from ample space to a well-equipped kitchen. Thank you for the kind words about the location and amenities. We strive to make our guests feel right at home, and it sounds like you certainly did. We hope you all had a wonderful stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Property Owner

  • "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 en-suite 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.

    Thank you for your direct feedback! We're thrilled that Cranford House met your expectations and provided a comfortable space for your family gathering. We're glad you enjoyed the amenities and nearby attractions. We'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Property Owner
