A Cozy New Year Getaway You Won't Forget!
The amazing lake view from our room complemented the superb gala dinner on NYE. Don't miss the dog-friendly atmosphere, the team genuinely welcomed our pup! Perfect for both couples and families!

We stayed for 3 nights and during our time the staff were friendly, the food in the Restaurant was lovely. Also the location was fantastic. Within easy walking distance to Bowness and boat trips across the lake.

My wife & I have stayed at Craig Manor approximately 5 times now & we have always enjoyed our stay. We have always found the staff to be very effecient & polite. The hotel is very clean & tidy & we have had different rooms in the past & they have all been clean & tidy & every thing in working order. The choice of food on the menu & the quality is superb, we have never had any problems in our 5 visits & we will definately be coming back, it was a shame we could not stay longer this time but we hope to fit in a long weekend before the season ends. We certainly reccomend the hotel to others.

We have been to Craig Manor many times over the past few years and it is a wonderful place to stay. The location is fantastic it is just a short walk down to the lake and the shops. There are loads of places to eat and drink and lots of things to see and do. The staff at Craig Manor are great nothing is too much trouble for them and the hotel has a very relaxed feel to it so you feel right at home. The food in the hotel is very very nice and not too expensive. It is great for families and couples alike. We booked for two nights this trip but we decided to stay on another night as the weather was fantastic this was no problem to the hotel staff who juggled things around so we could stay in the same rooms. I can not praise them highly enough!!!

The hotel is conveniently situated for shopping,restaurants,pubs and is within easy reach for all the local tourist attractions. A 5-10 minute walk takes you down into Bowness and Lake Windermere promenade and marina where you can take a cruise across to Ambleside or Lakeland. For the more active there are numerous walks .The staff at the Craig Manor are very friendly and helpful. Food at the hotel is excellent,the buffet breakfast is brilliant and there is a wide choice of menu for the evening meal,Lunch is also available but you couldn't possibly manage it after a hearty breakfast. We will definitely stay again. All I would alter next time would be to ask for a room at the back overlooking the lake as it was noisy eary in the morning at the front as the hotel is on the road side. Having said that our room was lovely with a beautiful en suite bathroom.

I stayed here for 2 nights and the experience really surpassed my expectations from my previous visit in bowness-on-windermere. The room was modern and spacious, and breakfast had a great variety of options, including gluten-free choices for my son. It felt fresh and inviting.
the heating system was malfunctioning.

The staff were very good, quite accomadating and helpful. The room was lovely and clean, comfortable with great views. The hotel was spacious, although it was almost full at the time of our visit, we did not feel cramped, with plenty of space to sit and have a drink in the lounges,(great views from all the guest areas) and always plenty of room in the dining room. The breakfast was well prepared and plentiful. We did request some speciality items for our breakfast and the hotel provided them without question, suppling them without extra charges. Would definately recommend to family or friends, a lovely stay for or special occassion. Thanks Craig Manor!
