We have recently returned from staying at the Cranleigh and cannot praise it enough. We stayed in the Hideaway which is a room/suite at the back of the hotel. The room was beautiful, fabulous huge bed in which we had the best nights sleep, an amazing bathroom with a huge spa bath with mood lighting (ideal for sharing!!) and a... more

We stayed 5 nights in the Sanctuary at the Cranleigh. It was absolutely fantastic. The staff were all friendly and attentive to our needs. It is ideally localted, near all the bars and restaurants and the lake. Apart from not having a view of the lake itself, we would say it is perfect and can't wait to go back. Definately... more

The hotel is in a great location in Bowness, 1 minute from the lake and the town full of bars and restaurants. Our room was beautifully decorated, the bathroom was very well equipped with a great shower, it was cleaned every day and the water, biscuits etc replenished every day. The only thing I would say is having 42inch plasma... more

What a fantastic place to stay! When the review said a 1 minute walk from the lake I was a little dubious! But the location was absolutely spot on. Literally 1 min from the lake and centre of Bowness. The hotel was lovely. High quality rooms with superb service. We will defintely be coming back. Lyns & Pete more

Myself & my husband stayed for the second time at The Cranleigh, and this time stayed in room 5 to celebrate my husbands very special birthday. We stayed for 3 nights & had the most fantastic break. Tony is so helpful & welcoming - he had assured me that i had made a good choice in booking Room 5 &... more

we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us and relaxed. We have two small children ourselves and have worked hard to create a Guesthouse that offers the facilities in a great location that we want on a break. Have you tried the sanctuary for the ultimate experience.

A deserved appellation, which embodies all that a friendly, warm guesthouse offers. I was somewhat anxious about staying in a guesthouse where I thought it may perhaps be a little too intimate an atmosphere for my liking. My thoughts were quickly dispelled upon arrival where I met a welcoming young lady late who showed us our room (15). Our trip... more

The Sanctuary is a luxury suite which has everything you could ever wish for from the outdoor private hot tub with mood lighting to the Bose surround sound system to the glass bath, double sinks, plasma screen in the bathroom, cinema screen in the bedroom and don't even get me started on the bed. I definitely felt like I'd died... more

A more accurate tag line would be 'almost' exceeding Expectations as this hotel has lovely decor but unfortunately isn't quite as good as it thinks it is. We booked a 3 night stay and had ordered a bottle of Champagne on arrival which wasn't there (though the staff were very apologetic and brought it straight through). The room itself is... more

Thank you for your review. I would like to respond with the following. You are comparing us to a hotel which we are not. We are a 5 star gold rated guesthouse and graded as so. The difference mainly being a hotel serves evening meals which we do not due to our central location and a hotel above three star...

I booked the Cranleigh as a surprise for my husband as it was a special occasion. We found the Cranleigh and all the reviews sounded great so we decided to book the sanctuary because it has its own private hot tub. We arrived late in the afternoon and were greeted by very friendly helpful staff. our first impressions were fantastic... more

On arriving at the Cranleigh we were delighted to find we were fortunate enough to be one of the first to stay in their new room The Sanctuary. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and had been waiting to try the new room as we have stayed before. The only two words I can come up with to describe the... more

Wow we are so pleased. You were only the second couple to stay in our new room. We believe we have created one of the best if not the best room it the Lake District with the Sanctuary. Thank you so much as it was a costly exercise, and you review means a great deal to us.
