Cranford House, Keswick
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.

Squirrel Lodge, Keswick
Stayed here for a week, mixed age group, great base for walking and shopping. All rooms were clean and comfortable. The large dining table allowed us to eat and chat and then play cards all together. The kitchen was a good size and was well equipped, loved the two fridges and made use of the washing machine and dryer.
Looking to book again as its a great base.

The Waterfall Retreat, Tebay
I stayed here for my 35th and honestly didn't want to leave, the house was perfect! We had roughly 11 people (plus a child) and everyone had their own spacious room - even one with its own kitchen and snug attached to it. The highlight was of course the waterfall and the outside area, while some of the group stayed in the warmth inside playing Air Hockey... the rest of us braved the waterfall itself and loved it! Getting the pattern down perfectly - Waterfall > Sauna > Cold Shower > Hot Tub.
Truly the perfect gift for any occasion!
