Disappointed
Very expensive for the quality of the hotel. Rooms are smaller than they look and walls are paper thin. Breakfast was very poor. Over cooked eggs on 2 out of 3 days. The only real positive I can provide is location.

Thank you for your review, we are sorry to see that you did not enjoy your stay with us at the Cranleigh. We can only apologise that you thought our breakfast was very poor, we do get many compliments regarding our breakfasts, we are sorry we fell short on this occasion.
Room was very small, no storage for clothes, only 4 or 5 hangers. Could not find switch to turn wall lights off, only way to do it was lift the key card out of holder. Rooms were noisy, could hear people upstairs and in next room.

There was no air conditioning in our room and this meant the room was uncomfortably hot. We were given an extra fan but the fans are too noisy so this meant we had a poor nights sleep. Although the room was very nice, for £245 i expected there would have been air conditioning so we would have got a good nights sleep.

We stayed in a luxury room which had a spa bath, very comfy bed, the most amazing dressing gowns and toiletries, which you can buy. The decor is gorgeous, amazing breakfast, lovely staff and less than 5 mins to the town and 5 min walk to the lake.

Had two nights at the Cranleigh last weekend. Staff were amazing, especially at breakfast.
Room was comfortable with a very nice bathroom. Many led lights in the bedroom/wardrobe which had a mind of their own, randomly turning on in the middle of the night.
Breakfast was very nice with so much choice and of good quality.
Only downside was the weather but it is the Lakes and we didn’t have to walk very far to the pub or restaurants.
Will definitely be back.

I was looking for a really nice hotel to have a child-free weekend away with my wife for our anniversary. The Cranleigh hit the mark perfectly, it was spotlessly clean in a fantastic location to explore Lake Windermere - the pubs/restaurants of Bowness are about a 2 minute walk from the hotel and the quayside (where you can get boats to Ambleside and Lakeside) is about 5 mins away. The hotel also has parking out front and an overflow car park about a minutes walk away down the road. The breakfast menu wasn't vast but the food was of very good quality, and at all times I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend the Cranleigh if you're looking for a couples break away in the Lake District.
