Attended a wedding over the weekend 25th & 26th May. Granted, the weather was fantastic, which did help. But I was extremely impressed with this hotel. It ticks so many boxes - location, lake views, food, beautiful grounds, etc, etc. The staff at this hotel are some of the best you will find in the lakes. Service is exceptional here.... More

Lovely hotel, food was definitely 5*, attention from staff was great, grounds were made for exploring! The only glitch for us was that on the 1st night we were restricted to one side of the hotel and to the overflow resteraunt - however no-one told us and we just thought that what we saw was the normal hotel. The quality... More

Our daughter and son in law recently got married at the Cragwood Hotel. Phil, Rob and all the staff were fantastic. We arrived on the Friday afternoon and were looked after well until we had to leave on the Sunday. We could not fault the rooms, food, hotel, gardens or the staff in anyway. Thanks, Tony & Iris Smith

We stayed at the Cragwood for a weekend break as part of my 50th birthday celebrations. Having cancelled a cruise earlier in the month due to unforeseen circumstances, we needed to book a short break as an alternative. We couldn't have chosen anywhere better and only wish we could have stayed for longer. We were given a superb lake view... More

We had a family party at the Cragwood Hotel on the 29th April for 25 adults and 7 children from ages 7months to 8 years. The hotel could not have been more helpful from the initial contact with Richard arranging special needs for some of the adults to the children's menu. On the day the meal was of high quality...

Popped in last week with 6 family members (aged 3 to 70) for a quick light lunch. As usual the service was brilliant - friendly and efficient so we felt perfectly relaxed. Good quality food that always manages to be even nicer than you anticipate from the menu. Family keen to see the place we had raved about after two... More

We went to this place for our 10th anniversary. We were slightly apprehensive of booking a small hotel but this place is amazing. From the moment we arrived we were looked after but left to our own devises. The hotel has lots of communal rooms which mean that in the evening you are quite often left in your own space... More
