What do people expect? I can't believe some of the negative comments! Even though we booked on the very last minute we were lucky enough to be given a room which had a door leading out to the beautiful gardens which was perfect for us as we had our dog with us. The room was lovely and spacious, the staff... more

Staying in Sept 08 for a friends wedding we booked in to this hotel which was near the venue. Had the feeling of many an English hotel, nice enough just a bit shabby around the edges. Our room was on the ground floor and have to say it was quite noisy. Hearing those above and around you a lot of... more

beautiful hotel with beautiful surroundings, a little pricey but worth every penny, the staff are very helpful and the food was above average. will definately be returning! more

I did not have one complaint from any of our staff & i can tell you that this has never happened... more

Not bad, Food was ok, service very freindly. Nice hotel, but the price £ 70 b & b was excessive. Wouldnt go back as I have visited the other two hotels in the group and they are much nicer ( views & ambiance). more

Rude, unhelpful staff. very unhelpful, and seemingly not very busy. Booked in after staying at a sister hotel, and were very dissapointed. Food, service and rooms were not the same standard as the previous three nights we spent at Cragwood. more
