“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!
