Pleasant stay
Pros:

Lovely and clean , lovely rooms very comfortable, good location

Cons:

Rooms were very hot at night , no way to regulate the temperature. We booked a lake facing manor room, but were disappointed with our view. We were on the first floor and could mainly see cars on the car park , we got a very minimal view of the lake. Breakfast was ok .

Friendly, attentive staff, perfect location & clean room!
Pros:

The location was fantastic for Bowness, having its own car park was a big plus too! We received a lovely warm welcome and were given all the information we needed for our stay. Our room was perfect for what we needed & there was a high level of cleanliness throughout the property.
We used the fitness room in the morning which again was spotless and well kept with enough equipment in there for a full body workout. Breakfast was excellent also, plenty of choice with a variety of drink options available. Our check out was as friendly as our welcome, which isn’t always the case in some places. It was nice to see someone to hand our key too rather than stick it in a box and leave. Overall we’d love to stay again! It was a lovely break away for us both & Craig Manor was a highlight.

Winter Getaway
Pros:

Lovely recently modernised hotel. Great views! Very comfy bed. Breakfast was nice.

Cons:

Shame they only have a very limited number of rooms that are dog friendly (1 dog per room). Bar area had no atmosphere in the evening but that could be because it was January.
