Cragwood Country House Hotel

We got married at Cragwood over the Easter break. Me, Mrs C and our four kids and two dogs stayed for the week. The hotel never felt busy, even though I suspect it was pretty much full. It was so relaxed and the staff were lovely. They made us feel special the entire stay and on the actual day of the wedding, even though we were such a small wedding party (just the 6 of us and the dogs) we were made to feel like guests of honour. The day went perfectly. Location is perfect and you can walk down to the banks of the lake. Couldn't have asked for more.

We had our wedding at Cragwood on 6/4/24 and I cannot thank them enough for such a perfect, beautiful day! The wedding co-ordinators, Hannah and Holly were amazing they went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was just how we wanted. They made sure the day ran smoothly and even helped look after our 5 month old twins during the wedding ceremony! All the staff were friendly, helpful and looked after all the guests throughout the day. The views at Cragwood are stunning which resulted in some amazing photographs, the hotel was spotless, all the rooms were clean and extremely comfortable. The food and service was brilliant. Thank you all for making our wedding day amazing. Love from Mr and Mrs Jenkinson.

Characterful hotel in a converted old country house. Handy location for Windermere and is set in some lovely grounds right on the lake. We went for an off season wkend in Jan, and we're really taken with how friendly the staff were, and how doggo friendly *everyone* was - if you have dogs, it's an amazing place to stay. You can stay in any of the rooms with a dog (or two as we did) and they're allowed most places except the restaurant. The old "grand hall" is now a bar and spacious set of rooms with log fires, comfy seating, and views over the grounds. Some of the hotel is a bit dated, but only to a kinda-charming degree rather than a fawlty-towers one. The bedrooms are apparently all different, our lake view room was spacious and lovely but it was a bit disappointing to have the view obscured by condensation half of the time. It also never got turned down - we thought the hotel had made a mistake (there are the usual signs about towels in the bath if you want them replaced etc) but apparently they don't offer a room turn down service, which seems really strange. If I wasn't turning down rooms as a hotel of this calibre, I'd make it clear from the outset (and provide more toilet rolls!) We weren't able to book into the restaurant (do it before arrival if you're thinking of eating there) but the bar has a small food menu available all day which was decent quality. There are a bunch of restaurants a short drive away in town too. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, as did our doggos. Would definitely visit again.

A truly lovely place. One night on a work trip, comfortable room and bed, great choice of teas and coffees in the room Very good dinner and excellent breakfast, and what a stunning view. Slightly odd route from reception to the bar but that just added to the charm of the place And finally, a very civilised check out time Definitely going back for leisure
