Afternoon Tea At Cedar Manor

An absolutely perfect and amazing afternoon tea in fabulous surroundings. We started with a small cup of soup, then unexpectedly fish and chips, and onto delicious sandwiches and beautiful desserts and scones. Home made local produced lovingly made! The owner and staff are lovely and attentive! Highly recommend 🙂

We had an afternoon tea at Cedar Manor. Unfortunately for us we did not quite anticipate that afternoon tea offered here is more of a slow type where you first get starter soup, then starter, then sandwitches etc. Meaning it takes some time to enjoy this afternoon tea set whereas we only had an hour... But that is on us and the afternoon tea itself + service was really great. Foods were nicely thought out and I got the best fish & chips (starter) I have ever enjoyed in Britain. Staff were also nice when we had to inform them that we really need to leave and gave us a package to go with foods we didn't manage to finish. So all in all, just reserve some time to enjoy afternoon tea at Cedar Manor, like 1,5 hours minimum, maybe even 2 hours. Definitely worth it, I would say.

Me and my partner Francesca have been here four times now, the first time we stayed over for the night and had afternoon tea, it was that nice we’ve been back on another 3 occasions. The afternoon is delicious from start to finish and the hot scones are gorgeous. Two lovely owners Caroline and Jonathan. We’ve always been served by Jonathan for afternoon tea and the service is exceptional.

I could not have been happier with our stay at Cedar Manor. It far exceeded our expectations. The Afternoon Tea was the BEST I’ve had (and we only recently had Afternoon Tea at Harrods and it surpassed that!). The hotel was in a walkable location, service was fantastic and the hosts were lovely. Highly recommend.

I recently stayed at Cedar Manor with my partner for 3 nights to attend a wedding in the area. Our expectations were exceeded. The main building is adorable (quintessential British manor house with manicured garden) and the rooms were very homely and clean. The chocolates and prosecco at arrival were an incredible touch. We stayed in the Coniston room and woke up to a gorgeous view and Nespresso in our rooms each morning. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom included nice products and amenities. My partner appreciated the ironing board and iron in the room which worked well for pressing his shirt. We will most certainly be back for a city break. Thank you particularly to Jonathan for his expert recommendations and top service.

Having read all the 5-star reviews, we decided to book a few nights at this property to celebrate our 1st anniversary. Our expectations were exceeded as Caroline and Jonathan made sure that we had everything we needed (and more) to make our stay one of a kind. We also had a delightful afternoon tea, which I highly recommend. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. We had breakfast every morning and we enjoyed everything they served with no exception. They do pay attention to every detail and accommodate everyone. We will certainly return as this was one of the most relaxing places we stayed at.

Wonderful property! We are lucky enough to be staying in The Coach House - if you can, please try that suite! Johnathan and Caroline (the proprietors) have clearly put their heart and soul in to Cedar Manor and deserve the awards and accolades that this delightful holiday property brings. It should also be mentioned that, as hosts, they are delightful, kind, funny and deeply caring. The afternoon tea is first class - above our already high expectations. Even if you are not staying you should try their afternoon tea! Highly recommended as a luxury location for exploring the lakes. And due to its close proximity to town, easy access to everything - you can’t go wrong with Cedar Manor!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful building. Jonathan and Caroline were very friendly and attentive hosts. The rooms were immaculate, and it was very quiet. As other reviews have mentioned, the recommendations for places to visit and eat were very useful. There is a beautiful path direct to the lakeshore right beside the hotel, which is lovely. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel, and we look forward to coming again!

The Cedar Manor Hotel is a hidden gem in the heart oof the Lake District. The historic building with it's huge Cedar Tree watching over the decades is perfectly located to offer quiet away from the main towns but close enough to walk into Windermere for some touristy action. The rooms are beautifully decorated and contain everything you need along with some great touches. Jonathan and Caroline run the hotel with efficiency and friendliness not often seen in boutique establishments like this. The staff are excellent all round, the hotel delivers food to rival any hotel, and the place is spotless. We have been going for years and it's hard to look anywhere else when we visit the Lakes. It's a quiet hotel, perfect for couples. We will continue to frequent as often as we can.
