Broughton Craggs Hotel

This is our 4th visit to Broughton Craggs Hotel. It has so much to offer situated in a cluster of lakes within a short travelling time. Some of the lakes close by are Bassenthwaite, Derwent, Buttermere, Wast water, Ennerdale to name a few all with great walks and views. The hotel is set in lovely grounds. Great to see the Peacocks and wildlife as you enter the long driveway. The rooms are comfortable. The hearty Breakfast served by Dan and Dave is a real feast and certainly sets you up for the day. We can highly recommend the evening meals home cooked by Lisa and Caitlin. The roasts are excellent and the majority of the menu is home cooked which is a rarity these days. Desserts are a real treat too. We retired each evening for a night cap to sit near the open fire which was welcome on these dark evenings and was really homely after a day walking. Thanks for a great break we will be back soon Nick and Emma (oh and Dora and Sybil) the doggies

This was our third stay at Broughton Craggs Hotel. We stayed in a wonderful spacious bedroom overlooking the front garden with a four poster bed, ensuite bathroom and ample wardrobe space. The breakfast provided a great start to the day, setting us up for a day of walking around the numerous lakes in the area. Breakfast was prepared to suit our individual preferences, whether it be a large, full English or eggs on toast, with the usual cereals, juices, tea, coffee etc. all available. The hotel is set in a quiet area, has plenty of parking and lovely gardens (with peacocks!!). Dan and Lisa have a very hard working team of staff including Caitlin, David, Beth to name a few. Thank you to you all at Broughton Craggs for a great, hospitable stay. See you in 2025.

The Broughton Craggs Hotel has a very welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. It's set in attractive grounds, surrounded by lovely countryside with spectacular views across to the fells. There is ample parking. Our en-suite room was very clean, well-appointed and stylishly furnished. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts and evening meals were excellent, offering wide choices. It was a treat knowing we could go back to an enjoyable meal without having to turn out again and have a quiet drink in the comfy lounge bar afterwards. The family all work very hard making everything run smoothly without being intrusive yet are always ready to stop and help with any queries. The hotel is well-situated as a base for exploring the quieter northern lakes. We also visited Cockermouth and the coast at St. Bees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and left well-rested and already planning our next.

The staff are wonderful especially the manager Dan and also David in the restaurant who was very helpful during our stay. The Hotel has lovely gardens and views. I was very fond of the beautiful Peacocks who wander freely around the gardens. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the food is lovely.
