Super autumn stay away.

Really good location, but located on a hill if anyone struggles with up hill walks, but an easy walk for those that don't. Short distance to all attractions with plenty of places to eat from close by. The Cranleigh is very welcoming and well ran, breakfast choice is good and done a great standard. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here.

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.

Unpleasant stay

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.

We stayed for 3 nights in one of the standard rooms (all the other rooms were fully booked), the room was great & bed super comfortable. We ate breakfast in the hotel everyday which was delicious & there was a fantastic choice of different dishes. The staff were all super friendly & helpful & the hotel is located near to all the restaurants, bars & shops in the area. I would love to return one day & try one of the other rooms

Hotel is nice however we’ve stayed in far nicer hotels for the price , it’s way overpriced for a very basic room, you can here the the people in the room next door very clear and the room above (little to no soundproofing) , tv in the bathroom if your into that sort of thing , tried it but you couldn’t even view a picture as so faint , wouldn’t go back

Our recent stay at The Cranleigh Boutique in Bowness-on-Windermere was an absolute pleasure and comes highly recommended. From the moment we arrived, the hotel exuded a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere that set the tone for a perfect Lake District break. The hotel's location is ideal, offering easy access to the charm of Bowness and the stunning scenery of Lake Windermere, while still providing a peaceful retreat. Our room was beautifully appointed, combining contemporary style with comfort, and was immaculately clean. The attention to detail throughout the hotel is evident and truly enhances the guest experience. A particular highlight of our stay was the breakfast. It is clear that The Cranleigh Boutique places a high value on starting the day right for their guests. The selection was extensive and delicious, catering to all tastes. As someone who requires gluten-free and lactose-free options, I was particularly impressed by the variety and quality available. It's often a challenge to find hotels that offer genuinely good choices for dietary needs, but The Cranleigh Boutique excelled, providing a stress-free and enjoyable breakfast experience. The staff were consistently friendly, professional, and attentive, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. Their local knowledge and recommendations were also greatly appreciated. Overall, The Cranleigh Boutique offers a truly exceptional experience. It's a place where luxury meets comfort, and
