Craig Manor Hotel

Called here for a drink and a sandwich, it was OK, friendly staff but the place is in need of a good makeover, sandwich was good and the local ale was as well. Nice views from the rear of the lounge.

Such a lovely stay enjoy every minute, the staff great, polite and very helpful the rooms are great very comfortable. The hotel is a few minutes walk to the lake and there are plenty of places to eat and drink if like us you are foodies. Have already recommended the Craig Manor to family and friends and we are hoping to go back again next month.

Did an overnight here when visiting Bowness. The room (302) was clean and spacious, with a good en-suite, comfy bed, and a lake view. Good freshly cooked to order hot breakfast, good service, friendly staff, and plenty of parking at the rear. A short walk into Bowness 5-10 mins to all the shops, bars, restaurants, Lake Windermere etc. Nothing not to like.

Good spot just on the outskirts of the centre of Bowness but only 5 minutes walk away. Place is nice and clean and rooms are spacious. Seemingly like all places in Windermere currently, they were struggling for staff so no food and bar is only open if it has customers.

Excellent breakfast, very friendly professional staff. Furnishings in the bar area are well past their best. Our room was on the top floor (roof space), limiting space in the bedroom, and making the bathroom very uncomfortable. The real issue was that we stayed for three nights, and the room was not serviced once!

Been coming here for years and we love it. This visit we had a huge room with a large comfy bed and bathroom. Breakfast was very good. Excellent value for money when you compare to some of the others in Bowness-On-Windermere

Great 2 night stay booked direct with the hotel, getting their winter retreat deal. Large and comfortable room. Seasonal treats on arrival were absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend and return

What a lovely hotel all the staff very polite and helpful very clean throughout the breakfast was ace cooked to order and piping hot first time we have stayed here will definitely be going back soon hopefully

Just come back from a lovely stay here. Great location. Rooms very comfortable and great size Family room. Breakfast was very good. Jason, Valerie and all the team very friendly and so helpful. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

An excellent stay at Craig Manor Hotel. My Husband and I stayed for 1 night with our dog and the hotel staff and Manager were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely and again the breakfast staff were very friendly and cheerful, which is always a lovely way to start the day. This is a clean, well maintained hotel with great on site parking and a great location. Very dog friendly and great professional staff. All round an excellent hotel stay for a reasonable price.

I wanted to find a place in Windermere that had the 'old English charm'. It certainly has that to an extent, though there are improvements that could be made. Because it is a very old building, the walls are not soundproofed at all. you can hear conversations being had in the next room. The plumbing didn't always work and the bed. we were in a four poster bedroom (one of the more expensive ones) and you could feel every single one of the springs in the bed.

It was not comfortable at all. Even in cheap backpacker hostels have I slept on more comfortable beds! Other than that, the hotel was very comfortable, cosy, the restaurant was great at catering for gluten free (though marking at breakfast what is and isn't gluten free would have been helpful). The bar was good and there were a lot of comfortable couches around the place.

There were lake views out of one side of the hotel (unfortunately our room looked out to the road). The wifi was terrible - non existent in the rooms and very weak in the common areas downstairs. Overall it was a good stay but there are definitely measures that could be taken to improve. starting with the mattresses and the plumbing! I'd probably stay somewhere else next time but it was good to give it a go!

Stayed here for the first time this weekend, got a weekend package deal. Although we have eaten here a few times in the past the rooms live up to our expectations are our stay has been great. The restaurant is fantastic quality and the Chinese waitress is a lovely woman :-

We loved our stay at this hotel. Location was great between Windermere(15 min walk) and Bowness(5 min walk) Food was very good Bed was compfy Room was clean Staff were friendly. Some reviewed this hotel is a bit bland or need a face lift but I think we need to be fair. This is a 3 star hotel in the country side. Will stay there again if we go to the Lakes.
