Cedar Manor

One of, if not the best afternoon tea experiences we have had. The attention to detail from Jonathan and Caroline is perfect. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful!. A lovely setting and lovely hosts, well worth a visit if you are in the Lakes

We stayed for 4 days while we explored the Lake District. I can't say enough about the hospitality provided by Caroline and Jonathan. They provided the best of service and we enjoyed chatting with them. I would highly recommend staying with them.

This was our third stay at the beautiful Cedar Manor with hosts Caroline and Jonathan and it certainly won’t be our last. It’s such a lovely place to stay, with beautiful gardens, amazing food, fabulous luxury rooms and such lovely warm hosts. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and have everything you’ll need for your stay. This time we stayed in Crinkle Crag. The breakfasts are amazing and the list of choices is fabulous, allowing you to try alternatives each morning. Caroline and Jonathan are always there if you need them but you’re very much left to your privacy. We haven’t yet tried their afternoon teas but the descriptions reads very well and we spotted a few on our trips back mid afternoon. There is a beautiful bar area for drinks and the ambience is one of sheer peace and tranquility. I particularly love the selection of music whilst eating breakfast, so lovely and memory provoking! We will definitely be back … as we need to sample the much anticipated afternoon tea! Thanks again Caroline & Jonathan for such a lovely stay ahead of my birthday tomorrow!! J & S.🍾🥂🧡xx xx

Beautiful house and garden, and friendly owners.

A spacious, nice room with a large, very good and comfortable bed. The hotel is located in a nice and well-kept garden and has a classic look, just as you would expect when visiting this area. The hosts are super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. They have really put their soul into creating a pleasant place with a welcoming atmosphere. The hotel is peaceful and a great starting point for exploring the area. Both on foot or by public transport with a bus stop right next to the hotel. We chose to walk from the train station when we arrived and were going on. It is a short walk, even with luggage. There is also plenty of parking on the hotel grounds. A place that we really want to visit again. Especially to experience the fantastic afternoon tea again.

The property is historic and well appointed. The bedrooms are well furnished with lovely toiletries and the breakfast was great. However this isn't really a hotel, par se, but more so a guest house. The absence of any available food outside of breakfast or afternoon tea and any suitable areas to work in, as well as the ability to support basic requests like crisps, nuts or ice - given the lack of dinner options - was disappointing. It's a lovely spot in a great location if you want a lodging for the evening, less so if you expect a level of amenities one might associate with a hotel. Overall though I was personally a little underwhelmed, I think a leisure traveller looking to explore Windermere would really enjoy it!
