Midweek break

A delightful and interesting country house, set in extensive grounds with views over Windermere.
The restaurant delighted us with imaginative beautifully presented dishes and the room was comfortable and restful.

Excellent stay. Couldn t fault anything. Except very pricey wine. A real put off. Bottle of screw top Syrah 27. Real shame. Would like to stay longer next time but very undecided.

Lovely peaceful setting

Lovely hotel, very welcoming staff and delicious food.
Short of staff but overall this did not affect our stay.

Great stay, fantastic food. Great room, and friendly staff.

Two Special Days

We were given a very good welcome, arriving a little bit ahead of scheduled time, we were shown into a comfortable sitting area. It was our first visit to the Lakes and were blessed by two absolutely stunning days, we sat out in the garden until late and enjoyed a delicious imaginative dinner. I think as the hotel has been extended from what was once a large private house, finding our way around inside could be somewhat confusing! Found ourselves with other guests discovering different staircases! All the staff could not have been more warm and friendly and the housekeeping staff were working so well and efficiently over a very busy time with a wedding reception taking place. We loved our stay and would love to visit again. Cragwood is a special, comfortable hotel.

Good but could be better

Overall we enjoyed our stay and any criticism is designed to be constructive. Dinner in the restaurant was unvarying over 4 nights and was very gourmet-orientated. More choice and some 'rustic'/ traditional dishes would add variety. The wine list is over-priced and lacks everyday wines; strangely many of the listed wines were unavailable and staff had to provide suggested substitutes. We appreciate that your domestic staff are short-handed, but not to have the room serviced each day is unusual in an hotel of this stature.

Relaxing stay

We had a very relaxing stay at Cragwood Hotel. Staff where very welcoming with excellent service. We were lucky enough and appreciated the unexpected upgrade.
The location of the hotel was ideal for visiting local attractions as well as having excellent grounds to walk in.
We would definately recommend a stay here and we will be going back.
