Cedar Manor

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

We had a marvelous time at the Cedar Manor Hotel where we had the most delectable afternoon tea! The soup, sandwhichs, and cakes and teas were so outstanding and our hosts were very kind and helpful. I would highly reccomend and anticipate going back someday soon!

This is a truly lovely hotel with a chilled, comforting feel. We were greeted with kindness and a smile and shown to our tidy and excellently-decorated room. The small touches really enhanced the experience, such as chocolates in the room, fresh milk in the fridge, and a spa bath in the bathroom. The lounge and bar area was a particular highlight, with furnishings and music to help you unwind and feel right at home. Many thanks for kickstarting our holiday in style!

Having enjoyed afternoon tea here a number of times, we thought it would be the perfect place to stay whilst celebrating our wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed, it was the best anniversary thanks to Jonathan , Caroline and their lovely staff. Everything about this beautiful hotel shouts care and attention to detail. The room, and all areas of the hotel, were immaculate, the bed was so comfortable and we loved the chocolates made by the Blind Chocolatier in Staveley. How to give the afternoon tea a write up that does justice to how exceptional it was!!! The delicious soup, amuse bouche and vegetarian sandwiches are far superior to anything we have had anywhere else. We barely had room left for all our scones and cakes, but not to worry, they were all plated up and left in the fridge of our room for us to enjoy later. Breakfast was equally delicious and well organised. We can’t wait for our next stay!

Visited Cedar Manor for our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the most amazing afternoon tea. It was quite simply exquisite and remarkably good value for money. I like words but simply can't find the right ones to describe how good this experience was. Outstanding food and the environment was exceptional. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. They even laid on amazing weather! We had a look around the hotel itself and if I didn't live only ten miles away, I would definitely be booking in! I will certainly be recommending it to friends and family. If there is a better hotel in the Lakes I haven't found it and I have been coming here for 50 years .....
