The Cranleigh Boutique

We had a fantastic stay at the Cranleigh Boutique Hotel and honestly cannot fault it. From the moment of booking to the day we left, the service was outstanding. All the staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful, which really makes a difference.||The hotel is spotless throughout — from the rooms to all common areas — and the décor is stylish and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, with a great choice of high-quality options to suit everyone.||We stayed in Room 5 was excellent—spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The room was very large with a generous bathroom featuring a separate shower and an air spa bath, which was a real highlight. The large bed was extremely comfortable, and having TVs in both the bedroom and bathroom was a great touch. We also appreciated the Bluetooth speaker, complimentary chocolates, and the tea and coffee facilities, including a coffee machine. There were plenty of towels provided, along with dressing gowns. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy, with the option to have it cleaned daily if required.||The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes’ walk into the centre of Bowness-on-Windermere, making it ideal for exploring the area. Free car parking right at the front of the hotel was very convenient.||There really isn’t much else to say other than we highly recommend this hotel. We’ve stayed here twice within the year, which says it all. We wouldn’t hesitate to return again. It also offers excellent value for money.

I would have given 5 stars but I came across a few disappointments. Firstly I'd like to start off with the pro's; The breakfast was perfection, the Belgium waffles to die for, waited on hand and service by extremely attentive staff who consistently checked in that you were satisfied, & plenty of choice. The staff were extremely pleasant. The queen size bed was so comfortable, luxury duvet & pillows. I feel the stay was value for money.|Cons; we had noisy neighbors. The walls are already thin enough that you can hear people speak on the other side, but to have neighbors that play loud bass into the late hours of the night was the cherry on top, having TV's in the echo-ey bathroom with jacuzzi tubs makes you turn the TV louder to hear it, so that's what everyone does. Obviously a problem as the room provides ear plugs. Maybe there should be a rule to be considerate after 11pm & turn music down.|Room 16 had a bath faucet that leaked the entire 3 day stay, not just a drip-drop, it was noticeably leaking, so you couldn't enjoy the tub for the cold water leaking on you. The plug also leaks so it didn't retain water. Didn't report it as it was evident a maid was attending that room daily to make the bed & change towels & it's undeniable that it didn't go unnoticed as it was beginning to leak on the floor, yet ignored. The tap hot & cold is also the wrong way round, found out the hard way while washing my hands that the "cold" side got VERY hot VERY quickly.|One morning for breakfast we sat at a presented table, yet one set of cutlery wasn't clean.|The "luxury" feel to the room didn't exist for room 16, very plain and boring. No safe place for valuables & maids attend the room regardless if you don't put notice of "please clean" on the door handle.||All in all, for the money, it was worth it, better than a tacky premier-inn. But we would have liked to enjoy the jacuzzi without the leaking & inconsiderate neighbors.

We stayed in Superior room 15. We booked at short notice so there wasn't much choice but had wanted to come here and had a free weekend. We arrived at 3pm and had to use the overflow car park which was down a very potholey, muddy puddle driveway. ||The lady on reception was very nice and friendly and took us to our room. The room was cosy and comfortable but rather small. And unbelievably hot! We turned the radiator off and opened the window straight away. The bed was comfy with quality bedding and decent pillows.||The bathroom for a "superior" room was disappointing. It was tiny, cramped and there was nowhere to put any personal items. Just a freestanding sink that could benefit from a shelf somewhere. The toilet is squashed in the corner. Very much bedroom en suite feel rather than luxury hotel. ||Surprisingly to me, there was a drink menu but no bar which wasn't a problem as we wanted a drink in the room and the receptionist delivered them. ||The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk to restaurants etc. there was traffic noise but didn't hear other guests as was a little worried by some other reviews and the provided ear plugs!||An enjoyable stay. We would come again but try a different room.

My wife and I recently stayed in The Seduction Suite for our anniversary. The room was amazing very comfortable and clean. we had an issue with the hot water which was resolved and we were given a bottle of prosecco which made up for it. The breakfast was also brilliant. Location was great only a stone thrown from the centre of Bowmess. Staff were very pleasant and polite. Would definitely stay again

Just stayed for 2 nights at the fantastic Cranleigh Boutique Hotel. We absolutely loved it. We stopped in Room 6 and it was a great room and well worth the money. Modern bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and tv on the wall. Massive and very comfortable bed. Room very nicely decorated and cosy..coffee machine with lots of tea and coffee on included. Absolutely loved the breakfast included aswell It was fresh and premium ingredients. All the ladies working at the Cranleigh where friendly and helpful.| Always smiling too. |It is very close to the centre of Bowness a few minutes walk to the lake. |We will definitely stay here again and would 💯 recommend for a romantic, relaxing break away in the Fantastic Bowness

My husband booked one of the boutique rooms which is just a short walk from the main hotel for my big birthday! He’d also organised for balloons to be displayed. We stayed in the indulgence suit for 3 nights. It had an enclosed outdoor hot tub which was a lovely touch. The room was well equipped.plenty of towels, and products to use. The mini bar was well stocked so made the most of this. We walked to the main hotel for breakfast each morning and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The location of our room was great. Just out of the door were bars and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We stayed in the Opulence suite and it was amazing, the giant big bath was lovely and we were able to watch a movie in the water while in the comfort of our own room. The room itself was beautiful and there was a lovely smell in the room. The warm welcome we received at reception when checking in really started our stay on a high and it never dipped. We stayed for my birthday and the staff left lovely chocolates and a card for me in the room. We both really loved the shower in the room also. Our only regret is not staying for more nights. Thank you to the lovely staff and our brownie this morning was delicious.

Myself and wife stayed in room number 1, I think is the most basic room in the boutique. Bathroom not in the room and a second down the corridor. This was the last remaining room surprisingly we absolutely loved it. We’ve stayed in a couple of different rooms plus the church suites and we was not disappointed at all. The cost for that room was worth it for just the breakfast alone. Everything as always just amazing. Staff very friendly and can’t do enough for you. Only downside please update your pillows to something a little more luxury. Really struggled to get comftable felt extremely cheap one was hard the other Lumpy :(

The place is amazing. it has just been fitted out and the style will blow you away the rooms are immaculate with a huge telly in our room and the breakfast is one of the best I have had. The Cranleigh is close to the shops in Bowness-on-Windermere which is where all the streamers leave to take your round the lake.

Outstanding place to stay. The best in the location. Their rooms and suites are the best I've ever seen and stayed in. The church suites are on another level. Service is excellent, location is perfect. They have parking and are connected with The Fizzy Tarte cocktail bar and BAHA restaurant which again are the best places to eat and drink in the area. If you like Quality then look no further. Prices are reasonable. You get access to a spa and leisure facilities and the reception staff cannot do enough for you. They are voted the best place to stay on trip advisor also and have the largest Facebook following I have ever seen for a hotel. Excellent brand and clearly they care.
