Gorgeous views
Lovely hotel with beautiful view's and gardens. Staff couldn't do enough to make our stay wonderful. The food was excellent. I do like a good pillow and if I could criticise anything it would be that one thing. Wouldn't stop me staying again.

First time at Cragwood and it won't the last. The staff are all very friendly and the hotel is very clean, my room was spotless. One of the biggest selling points is there is a large car park, something hard to find at other hotels in The Lakes unless you pay double the room rate.

Great dog friendly stay
Lovely dog friendly stay,we had a bottom floor room with patio doors that led out so you could walk your dog straight from the room.
The room was modern and warm and the hotel itself was great to relax in with plenty of places to sit and read or just chill.
We had food from the bar menu which was nice and you can sit in one of the living rooms to eat.
Overall a great stay

This is a beautiful old country house with lots of original feature. Our room was spacious, spotless and very comfy. The shower was amazing!
Shared areas in the hotel were equally impressive, the bar areas and rooms off to sit and have a quiet drink were lovely, with open fires contributing to the cosy feel.
The hotel is a few minutes drive from Ambleside so well situated for the town. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely staff! Comfortable picturesque rooms
Lovely hotel- room was big with comfy bed and gorgeous view of the lake and great room amenities.
All of the staff were really friendly and helpful even down to all the lovely cleaning staff! Nice bar.
Only issue was we got locked out when we returned after midnight and no one had mentioned we’d need a code to get in!
Service on breakfast was very slow / came at different times I think they were short staffed.
It was raining so we did miss a pool/gym but a great hotel and I’d recommend for a short break!
