Liked: Cleanliness
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.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Cragwood and would recommend it highly - lovely views of the Lake - very comfortable hotel and the young members of Staff were particularly pleasant and very helpful. We only ate in the bar as the Restaurant was fully booked unfortunately - our fault we should have booked ahead. Our b'room and bathroom were really very nice - tastefully decorated and warm... Overall, a delightful experience...

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!

Although the hotel was beautiful, the room was smaller than expected and it was very difficult to sleep with the noise of people walking past in the corridor at night.

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”.
