“Loved our stay at Paddock House.”

The location was excellent, easy to park and a few minutes into the town centre. There were 13 of us and the photos don’t do justice to the size of the accommodation, especially the bedroom size and comfort. The house was clean and towels, bedding and toiletries were all lovely. The kitchen was very well provisioned including dishwasher and washing machine tablets. If we had any queries, Sarah responded immediately and resolved any issues, either sending the maintenance man or sourcing ...

The kitchen was very well provisioned including dishwasher and washing machine tablets. If we had any queries, Sarah responded immediately and resolved any issues, either sending the maintenance man or sourcing suggested new equipment. Hot tub was a bonus and also clean and very welcoming after a days activity. The only slight let down (having teens with us) was the wi-fi but I think there was a fault on the line that could be resolved. Thank you for a great stay, I have already recommended and would definitely stay here again.

“We are a family of 7 who stayed at the Paddock, with 3no.”

elderly parents who have limited walking abilities. The location was great as close to the town with plenty of Restaurants, Bars and shops. Fitz park across the road from the house was great to walk with our dogs. The house has 8 no. bedrooms and the beds all very comfortable. The towels and bed linen all good quality, 3no. bedrooms did not have TVs or the Tv didn’t work. There was no pillow protection, Bedroom 1 had stains on blanket. The kitchen had plenty of cooking and eating equipment. There’s 2 good size lounges that had plenty seating and a great dining room. Unfortunately the hoover didn’t hoover very well and no there was no bucket to wash the floors. Some of the bathrooms needed a little more cleaning as there was mould. We had 2no. en-suite bathrooms with wonky, broken toilet seats. The 2no. ground floor bedrooms did not really work for our elderly parents as one bedroom had a en-suite, the access around the bed to the bathroom was very small, there was no wardrobe. The other ground floor bedroom had a nice big bed but no en-suite, this bedroom had the only external rear door to the garden, we had a few problems with the door lock. There was no rear door Mat to walk out to the garden. The front door was also a little difficult to unlock at times. There’s a small terrace garden with a hot tub, a summer house, 4no. chairs and a coffee table. We would have liked more seating in the garden as there was very little space for us all. We did enjoy our stay in Keswick, however I think the house didn’t really work for our family.

“A lovely stay at the Paddock and would thoroughly recommend and stay again.”

Please note the WiFi signal is poor as soon as you move away from the lounge. This may not of course be important for all! But it might be good to invest in some WiFi boosters. It would also be good to have extra dishwasher tablets... We only had three which for a group of 9 is not enough.

- Andy, June 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words about your recent stay at The Paddock! We're delighted to hear you had a lovely experience and would recommend us to others. We truly appreciate your business and look forward to welcoming you back soon. We value your feedback and want to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the weak WiFi signal in some areas. We understand the importance of good internet connectivity and are actively looking into solutions to improve the signal strength throughout the property. Your suggestion regarding the dishwasher tablets is also very helpful. We will definitely ensure there are enough tablets provided in the future, especially for larger groups. Thank you again for bringing these points to our attention. It helps us to continuously improve the guest experience at the Paddock Property Owner

“Great house for a group of us to stay in the heart of Keswick.”

Peter April 2024

“We were a party of 10, and the property was big enough to take another six easily.”

Everyone complimented me on my choice of accommodation, hot tub was used every day after a hard days walking, and kitchen was loaded with high tech appliances. Location great, parking no problem, highly recommended.

- Peter, April 2024

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear the property accommodated your group of 10 comfortably and that everyone enjoyed the hot tub and kitchen. We appreciate you recommending us - it means a lot! Property Owner
Tricia March 2024

“A group of 14 family and friends stayed here for a fairly wet week in March.”

While we loved most things about the property, we were very disappointed that there was no access to the garage and drying facilities, and no garden furniture as described. The “summer house” was disappointingly an empty shed. I was pleased that I didn’t invite a total of 16 people, as I felt the downstairs en suite bedroom wasn’t fit for purpose. I feel it should be altered to either a single bedded room or a bunk room, which would make the 2 ground floor rooms suitable for a family. As it stands, the en-suite is difficult to get to as it’s such a tight squeeze round the bed. I had hoped to put someone with limited mobility into this room, but it wasn’t possible. The other ground floor room, that has the only direct access to the garden and hot tub, is a beautiful large room however, with masses of storage space. The hallway was constantly cluttered with at least 14 pairs of wet shoes! Wet coats were strewn everywhere. This didn’t spoil the holiday too much, as everything else was great. All the beds were comfy and having 2 lounges was a bonus for those who like to distance themselves from the rowdier folk! The rather strange way most of the lights automatically came on took some getting used to.. it was unpleasant having the en suite lights turn on fully each time the loo was used during the night! It would have been helpful if we could have operated the rooms with light switches. All in all, we had a great week in a lovely property. We had no problems finding parking places for our many cars, and contact with the owner was very easy and pleasant, especially when she allowed our early arrival. I recommend this property, a 10 minute stroll from Keswick town centre.

Chris March 2024

“Excellent house - we had a great time.”

Bedrooms were all lovely, beds very comfortable, bathrooms clean - fabulous to have an en-suite in 7 out of 8 rooms. Location of house - walkable to good pubs/restaurants and centre of Keswick. For less mobile people Ashness taxis provide a great service at very reasonable price. Their drivers were helpful, flexible and very kind and friendly. We felt this house was pretty much perfect for our group and we didn’t have anything negative to say about it.

- Chris, March 2024

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house and its amenities. We appreciate you highlighting the comfort and location - perfect for exploring Keswick. We look forward to hosting you again! Property Owner
Antonia March 2024

“The Paddock is in a great location, close to the beautiful town of Keswick and all it had to offer.”

The property was perfect for what we wanted which was a few days chilling with friends. It’s very tastefully decorated and the kitchen was a good size if you wanted to cook. Communications with the owner were great and instructions very clear and concise Would definitely recommend and would come back again

- Antonia, March 2024

Jessica February 2024

“Fabulous house, well equipped with lots of space.”

Two sitting rooms allowed us to have adult and kids areas too. Good parking and so central for access to the beautiful mountains. Wi-fi worked well in enough parts of the house to allow for a couple of people to carry on working. Hot tub a bonus!

- Jessica, February 2024

Parking on site with plenty of on street parking too. Beautiful accommodation. Plenty of room and there were 12 of us. The en-suite rooms were a massive bonus. There were a couple of MINOR issues and Sarah was round in minutes and resolved everything. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Sarah.

Sophie November 2023

“Perfect place for me and my family to stay, all of us had our own space (and ensuite), plenty of rooms where we could sit together but also break off and do our own thing.”

Kitchen well stocked, beds comfortable, hot tub great. Location was perfect! My only constructive feedback would be to get some lights outside for the hot tub as it got very dark by 6pm and there was only the light from the actual tub, some fairy lights or something would be nice. Also in the ground floor rooms, the curtains didn't have a stopper so when we closed the curtains they came off the rail (& one of the blinds panels kept falling off) only little things but I imagine a previous guest hasn't reported it so just making you aware, not really a complaint. Had a really nice stay. Thank you!

- Sophie, November 2023

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'm thrilled to hear that the property was perfect for your family, offering individual space with en-suites and various communal areas. I appreciate the constructive feedback about the lighting around the hot tub and the curtain issue on the ground floor – these details are invaluable for improvement. I'm glad you had a really nice stay, and we'd be delighted to welcome you and your family back. Thank you for choosing our place! Property Owner
