Christmas at Cragwood is a delightful house party experience. The number of guests is limited to ensure that ambiance. Philip and his staff ensure that the comprehensive programme of entertainment runs like clockwork. Nothing is forgotten - Santa, loaded with presents makes a welcome appearance. Above all, the food is superb with a great variety of meals from Chinese to... More

It's hard to add to what previous reviewers have said - certainly no-one has exaggerated how good this hotel and its staff are. We stayed for a few days just before Christmas. It was very quiet but instead of taking a breather, Phillip and his team were on top form! Our large and airy room was delightful with exceptional views... More

The location is right on Windermere so you can walk down through the gardens to the waters edge and the views are fantastic. The hotel is lovely but best of all are the staff... More

This was our second Christmas and if it's possible was even better then last year. We stayed with friends for four evenings, the food is just excellent and the attention to detail is second to none. The staff with Phillip at the helm is the best service we have experienced in any hotel we have stayed at in over 25... More
