Overnight stop off

Excellent over night stop off. Every member of the team we met was fantastic and the food at both dinner and breakfast was delicious. Stunning hotel in a stunning location and beautifully my able to walk down to the lake front was an added bonus. Would recommend without question and would definitely stay again.

Were looking forward to the peace and tranquility of a lakeside venue for a first time visit to the Lakes District after travelling from the other side of the world. First impressions: Room not ready at 3pm check in time. Room was extremely small to fit 2 suitcases or even a toiletry bag in bathroom. Partial lake view if you crane your head in a purchased “lake view room”. As a dog friendly hotel and a wedding venue, other paying guests treated as a low priority. Constant barking of numerous large dogs during our stay (day and night) and wedding parties taking over spaces that everyone should be free to use but feel they are being intrusive. Staff didn’t go out of their way to solve any problems that were addressed, only offering a “sorry”. Would not recommend or ever want to return to this establishment.

The property is located near the lake with a great walk to enjoy. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was acceptable however we found the coffee weak and tasteless. We would have appreciated an espresso coffee which standard in 4 stars hotel.

The service needs improvement. We may be unlucky been served by a by a new employee ( I hope it was just a new employee or an untrained one). I ordered a drink a the bar and I actually explained to the lady how to do it - it was just an Apperoll spritz- nothing fancy). On the dinner , after we ordered, after 15 minutes, she came back asking us if we want to order something. The next morning, she forgot to bring me the breakfast ( after 30 minutes of waiting I informed another colleague and found out that it was “missed”). However have paid separate for the “drink and food service”.

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.
