Cragwood Country House Hotel
Every bedroom takes a dog, and there's a doggy afternoon tea
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
Twenty acres of garden and woodland surround the house and the Windermere shore is a few minutes down the hill, with Stock Ghyll Force and Loughrigg Fell both a short drive north.
Dogs can't be left alone in the room at any point, so plan dinner around that.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
GBP 25, Per dog per stay, not per night
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
The property.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
All bedrooms are dog friendly, so there is no dog-room category to be shut out of. Dogs are welcome in selected lounges, the bar areas and the outdoor terraces in warmer months, but not in the main dining rooms. Dogs stay on the lead in public areas and can't be left alone in the room at any stage.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
