We enjoyed a superb evening dinner at this delightful hotel. Starting with canapés on the patio with a view out over Lake Windermere, then inside to the pleasant dining room to enjoy a four course meal with coffee and chocolates out on the patio again. Our main course was duo of duck, beautifully cooked and attractively presented. The pear sorbet was delicious and my desert of sticky toffee pud finished off a wonderful meal. Service was first rate. Thank you
Amazing food. We had the evening meal at £39pp and it was above all expectations. Probably the best meal I've ever eatten. Well worth the money
Beautfully presented, tasty food served by attentive staff. A lovely dining experience. The hotel feels more like a home and the traditional surroundings really added to our experience.
Great relaxing break in a quiet countryside area. Excellent view over lake and gardens. Plenty of birdlife. Dinner at the hotel very good with attentive service. The weekend was a real treat.
We stayed one night here on our way up to Glasgow but, wish we could have stayed longer!! It is a beautiful hotel, with lovely lounge areas and two dinning rooms. The grounds are fabulous, with beautiful views all around. An idyllic peaceful setting. We walked down to the waters edge and our Granddaughter had a little paddle! The staff are all brilliant. We would highly recommend this hotel.
I would firstly like to thank all the hotel staff for all there efforts in making our stay at the CRAGWOOD special. The room was very good, and the evening meals very special. So I would give the hotel 9+ out of 10 overall. Many thanks Anthony MacKay.
We stayed at the Cragwood country hotel for 3 nights,meal on first night was booked last minute through Quandoo.This is a first class hotel and food is the very best we have experienced, and all staff are very friendly and nothing is too much bother. Highly recommended.
Lovely country hotel. Stayed in room 5 which is large and comfortable with superb views of Windermere. Beautiful lakeside position, saw wild deer in the grounds. Staff are superb. Very friendly, helpful and attentive with a good sense of humour. Will definately return here
Fabulous hotel in lovely surroundings with fantastic views of the lake ,professional and friendly staff who really make your stay enjoyable, together with excellent food, we would happily recommend, looking forward to returning soon
Our experience was outstanding. We were looked after from the minute we arrived. The food and service was amazing. We would definitely come again as we truly enjoyed our stay.
The food and hotel were exceptional. Beautiful surroundings. Come and see for yourself. Only stayed for a night. It will definitely be for longer next time.
Nice ambience, fanciful plating. Wines reasonably priced with a good variety. Portions are fairly generous despite how it looks, and I left very full after dessert. Only downside is that some of the flavours don't quite match.
