The hotel couldn't have been more accommodating, looked after us all perfectly and were flexible around our timings. Thanks for that bit of luxury during extreme activities, an escape from all the noise outside with the event.

I stayed last night having booked a single and getting a cheap price I expected to be in a pokey little room instead I got big room with a huge fabulously comfortable bed with lovely smooth sheets. All old fashioned touches you don't often see I didn't use and not needed but considering the price surprised to see, things like... More

We have just returned from a midweek break at The Cragwood. Yet again, they delivered on all fronts, fantastic food, amazing views, stunning room and fabulous staff. We enjoyed an afternoon tea for the first time which was brilliant (Betty's eat your heart out!). Drinks are good value considering it's a hotel and the wine list has something to suit... More

Read the last review from the person who had not even stayed at the hotel but decided nevertheless to write a review. Clearly it's not genuine. We have stayed at the Cragwood on numerous occasions , every time with our jack Russell Eddie. Absolutely he's not allowed in the dining room. It's the LAW. No other hotel would allow it... More

The Cragwood Hotel forms part of a group of hotels based in the Lake District, and we have now stayed at all three, which forms a useful reference point when writing this review. First impressions of the Cragwood were good, a warm welcome and a hand with our luggage to our room, which had a terrific view over Lake Windermere.... More

This was a lovely hotel in a lovely setting with wonderful staff. We were there, from Ireland, for a wedding and were made feel totally at home.The rooms and food were excellent. The setting for the reception, which was a marquee on the lawn, was fabulous overlooking the lake.

We stayed in this hotel last weekend of May. We originally had it booked for Easter weekend, but unfortunately our 1 year old son was ill. however the hotel was kind enough to let us reschedule without any additional costs. So in May we went there and apart from the fact that it was a very long drive from London,... More

What a wonderful little hotel this is. A real gem. The staff were delightful and the rooms clean and fresh. The food was very very good and nothing was too much trouble. We were so impressed we have booked again to go back in September.

My Husband and I got married at Cragwood last October, although it has taken me until now to sit down and share our experience! If you are searching for the perfect venue for your wonderful day you will find it here. We desperately wished to have a simple outdoor ceremony, but found upon research that this is not as easy...
