We stayed the Sunday night of the bank holiday and were more than impressed. Having found the hotel on an online booking website a few days prior to the weekend I rang up to book and was quoted 40 pounds less per night (pp) than the booking site. We took one of the last 2 rooms available and were very... More

I took my grandma for a 2 night stay and was very impressed. The location was excellent for visiting Windermere, Grasmere and Keswick. The staff were very attentive and seemed genuinely interested in us enjoying our stay. We ate both in the bar and restaurant- and they even prepared our meal a little earlier than they usually open in the... More

We had family staying over the bank holiday, and I decided Sunday Lunch at the Cragwood would really suit, it has been several years since my last visit, and it was great to re-visit. Lunch was as expected, top quality, service as previously experience unchanged just perfect and the settings well you go and see, hard to beat.

Just stunning.... More
