On-site parking is limited and can be hard to secure, though overflow or nearby options are available. Some rooms feature spa or jacuzzi baths, and several guests noted a lack of air conditioning, so rooms may feel warm in hot weather.

This is our fifth visit here so, obviously, we like it. The staff are friendly, the breakfast is good, the rooms warm and beds comfortable. Parking tends to be the cause of anxiety so, usually, once we have secured an onsite parking space, we don’t use the car and rely on public transport to get around. We were in room 13 this year and found storage space for clothing to be minimal. Also, I was unwell on this visit (nothing to do with the hotel) so we spent more time in the room than usual. We would have appreciated some seating in the room because of this.

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, check in was easy and you can arrive at anytime. If you park in the carpark opposit the accommodation between 2000 and 0800 you can get early bird parking for £1.50 for a full day, otherwise it is around that cost price per hour.

Very friendly staff, comfortable, clean room and very convenience place within walking distance to restaurants and the lake. However, there are two things that need to improve 1) should have allocated parking for each room 2) we stayed in room #5 which is above the breakfast area the smell of burning toasts and burning smoke got into the room in the morning, should have better extractor fan in the kitchen area.

I had a very comfortable stay. The room was a generous size with an excellent bed, and I appreciated the in-room touches—tea and coffee, a fridge, and a smart TV with iPlayer and Netflix. Parking spaces at the front were difficult to get, but the overflow car park at the neighbouring hotel is just a short walk away and worked well for me. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience.

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.

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.

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

The bedroom suites were of a very high quality, elegant, very clean and comfortable. Staff on reception and at breakfast were smart and helpful. Cranleigh Boutique is very close to the centre of Bowness where there are plenty of good restaurants at night. Also close to the lakefront for a nice morning walk after the excellent breakfast.

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 had a very comfortable stay. The room was a generous size with an excellent bed, and I appreciated the in-room touches—tea and coffee, a fridge, and a smart TV with iPlayer and Netflix. Parking spaces at the front were difficult to get, but the overflow car park at the neighbouring hotel is just a short walk away and worked well for me. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience.

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

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.

We booked the standard room for 2 nights. Everything was fine and the cooked breakfast one of the nicest we have had. It is a 5 min walk to the marina with lots of bars and restaurants.

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.

The bedroom suites were of a very high quality, elegant, very clean and comfortable. Staff on reception and at breakfast were smart and helpful. Cranleigh Boutique is very close to the centre of Bowness where there are plenty of good restaurants at night. Also close to the lakefront for a nice morning walk after the excellent breakfast.

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.

The staff were extremely helpful and very accommodating. The breakfast was excellent and it was particularly nice to have it delivered to the suite. The only issue was the shower over the bath was a bit challenging. However our original suite had a walk in shower but the two flights of stairs were to challenging for my husband who walks with a crutch. If I had booked directly with the hotel I could have discussed our requirements with them. However the staff did everything they could to help.
