About Craig Manor Hotel
Windermere draws visitors for its lake and fell views, walking routes and easy access to the wider Lake District, and Craig Manor Hotel puts guests on Lake Road within easy reach of the town centre and its attractions. The hotel has 26 rooms, each en-suite, with comfortable beds and modern touches, and many take in garden, lake or mountain views. Family rooms are available, and free WiFi and in-room drinks are standard throughout.
A restaurant and bar sit on site alongside a breakfast service that guests single out for its range, including a buffet spread and takeaway doughnuts. Outdoor seating and a picnic area make the most of the garden, and there's a gym for those who want to stay active without leaving the grounds. Staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, and childcare can be arranged. One point worth noting: some rooms run warm, so it's worth requesting ventilation if you're sensitive to heat.
Free on-site parking makes it simple to explore further afield, with golf, cycling, walking routes and watersports all within reach nearby, plus pubs and restaurants close by for evenings out. Luggage storage is available for those arriving early or leaving late.

What guests say
Fantastic stay at Craig Manor between 11th–14th May. From the moment we arrived, the standards throughout the hotel were exceptional and every member of the team made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after. Special mention to Veio (apologies if I’ve spelt the name incorrectly) in the evenings at the bar, Anker on reception and Johnny at breakfast service — all absolutely fantastic and a real credit to the hotel. Their friendliness and attention to detail really made the stay feel extra special. The rooms were spotless throughout and the housekeeping standards were excellent too. The breakfast was fantastic each morning and the views from the breakfast area are absolutely spectacular. A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location and we’ll definitely be back.

I just had the most incredible 4-day, 3-night stay at this awesome place near Windermere Lake—just a few minutes' walk away! The convenience of plenty of parking behind the building was a huge plus. Our room was fantastic, complete with a spotless bathroom. I highly recommend this place for families, especially those with kids! Now, let me tell you about the breakfast buffet—it was absolutely the best! I’d give it a solid 5 stars! Plus, they offer take-away coffee and doughnuts, which is such a nice touch. I absolutely loved the new aesthetic interior design throughout the hotel, from the rooms to the restaurant. It’s so fresh and inviting! The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, always ready to assist with any request. Their hospitality truly made our stay special. Our little daughter had a blast too! We’re already looking forward to our next visit. A huge thank you to all the staff for the wonderful hospitality

We had a fantastic time booking again soon. Best hotel we have been in the lake district. Views are amazing. Had a little gym we sat and had drinks for hours looking out at lake windermere. Would like to thank all the staff at craig manor for a wonderful time. We had a lovely sun set from our bedroom window.

We stayed at Craig Manor for our anniversary and were greeted by this lovely celebration plate when we arrived at the room which was very thoughtful of the staff. The room was very clean, warm and the views were beautiful! The staff were nice and greeted us. We really enjoyed the cooked breakfast and amazing views in the morning from the hotel resteruant. The location is really handy too, Craig Manor is less than 5 mins walk from high street town and pubs/ bars so really convenient. Absolutely lovely place to stay we really liked it here!
