The property is located near the lake with a great walk to enjoy. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast was acceptable however we found the coffee weak and tasteless. We would have appreciated an espresso coffee which standard in 4 stars hotel.

The service needs improvement. We may be unlucky been served by a by a new employee ( I hope it was just a new employee or an untrained one). I ordered a drink a the bar and I actually explained to the lady how to do it - it was just an Apperoll spritz- nothing fancy). On the dinner , after we ordered, after 15 minutes, she came back asking us if we want to order something. The next morning, she forgot to bring me the breakfast ( after 30 minutes of waiting I informed another colleague and found out that it was “missed”). However have paid separate for the “drink and food service”.

Lovely hotel with beautiful view's and gardens. Staff couldn't do enough to make our stay wonderful. The food was excellent. I do like a good pillow and if I could criticise anything it would be that one thing. Wouldn't stop me staying again.

First time at Cragwood and it won't the last. The staff are all very friendly and the hotel is very clean, my room was spotless. One of the biggest selling points is there is a large car park, something hard to find at other hotels in The Lakes unless you pay double the room rate.
