Cragwood Country House Hotel - A lakeside Edwardian mansion with landscaped gardens, 2 AA Rosette dining, and a private jetty on Windermere
This 4-star Edwardian mansion sits on a private headland overlooking Windermere, set within 8 hectares of landscaped gardens and woodland. Cragwood Country House Hotel offers 23 rooms blending classic country-house styling with modern amenities, some featuring lake views or four-poster beds. The two AA Rosette-awarded restaurant serves regional dishes like Cumberland sausage and locally caught trout, with a five-course gourmet dinner option. Guests can relax in the wood-panelled drawing room with leather sofas, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace, or stroll to the private jetty for lake views. The property is located 3 km from Windermere Steamboat Museum and near attractions like the Lakes Aquarium at Newby Bridge. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Cragwood Country House Hotel.
Pros
The private shoreline and jetty provide direct access to Windermere with scenic views.
The two AA Rosette restaurant showcases locally sourced ingredients in seasonal menus.
The property includes 8 hectares of well-maintained gardens with terraces and woodland paths.
Multiple lounging areas feature lake views, log fires, and classic country-house furnishings.
Dog-friendly amenities include treats, bowls, and access to woodland walks.
Cons
Some rooms overlook gardens rather than the lake.
The closest major attractions require a short drive (3 km).
“This Windermere house embraces its Arts & Crafts heritage, from the gardens to the log fire in the bar. The lakeside setting is a real draw, and the delicious food seals the deal. It would be hard not to feel at home here.”
