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 have just been today 13th June for afternoon tea and it was absolutely incredible! I can honestly say it’s the best we’ve ever had. The attention to detail is second to none. I have Coeliac and it’s very difficult to find good afternoon tea but I would strongly recommend Cedar Manor they made me feel the same as everyone else which doesn’t often happen. So thank you so much for making it a truly memorable experience. What I could not finish was boxed up beautifully for me to bring home. Thank you to the amazing hosts we will be back!

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!

Great location just a short walk from the centre of Windermere. The hosts were very welcoming, friendly and always available. We stayed in the Coniston room which had everything we needed (the little welcoming chocolates were a nice touch) and was warm and very comfortable. The mountain views and sunsets were an added bonus. When back in the lakes we will definitely come back!

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 .....

Where to start with Cedar Manor. Things got off to a good start when we arrived and parked on the well maintained drive with a well tended garden. Jonathan showed us to our room which was small but perfectly formed. The little touches such as chocolates and gluten free biscuits were much appreciated. We then enjoyed an afternoon tea in the lounge which was cosy and intimate. The afternoon tea was exceptional and I would strongly recommend anyone staying to enjoy this. The option of gluten free and vegetarian for afternoon tea is rare and we felt staff had gone the extra mile. The bedroom was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, plenty to choose from and piping hot. Jonathan and Caroline were warm and welcoming hosts. Another positive was how spotlessly clean everywhere was. Altogether a very pleasant experience thanks to the housekeeper and the hosts.
