  • "The property was exactly as listed and we were very happy ."

    The property was perfect for our large family group. I would mention that the downstairs bedrooms were not as comfortable as the others as one has restricted room around the bed and the other has patio doors out to the garden and so is the only access for the hot tub. As mentioned by previous occupants , there is an issue with the front door lock and we could not always unlock the door . I contacted maintenance but nobody came out and we were told to leave the patio door unlocked so that we could get in . Not ideal . Having said that , if this was sorted we would definitely stay here again .

    Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and that the property met your needs for a large group. Your kind words about the property are greatly appreciated. We’d also like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the front door lock during your stay. Our records show that the issue was reported the night before your departure, and while we weren’t able to resolve it before your check-out, our team advised using the patio door for entry and exit as a temporary solution to ensure your comfort and security. Please rest assured that the lock has since been replaced, and the barrel now turns smoothly, so this will not be a problem for future guests. We appreciate your feedback regarding the downstairs bedrooms as well. To help set expectations, we include detailed floor plans with the layout of the property on our listing so guests can see the space before booking. However, we’ll take your comments into account and explore how we can further improve comfort in these areas. Thank you again for staying with us, and we would love to welcome you back in the future!

  • "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 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.

    Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Paddock House. We're sorry about the Wi-Fi issue, but we'll look into it. We hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

  • "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.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at The Paddock. We’re pleased you enjoyed the convenient location, the comfort of the beds, and the well-equipped kitchen. Your positive comments about the lounges and dining room are much appreciated! We’re sorry to hear that some areas did not meet your expectations. Both ground-floor bedrooms do have wardrobes, and we’ve added more seating to the garden following your feedback, which can now be seen in the updated listing photos. The door lock issues have also been resolved. We’ve shared your comments about cleanliness and maintenance with our team to ensure these areas are addressed. Thank you again for your constructive feedback, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  • "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.

    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

  • "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.

  • "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!

    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.
