Background
History of Craig Manor Hotel
A Hotel With a Story
1848
Originally the retirement home of Sir Thomas Pasley, a Royal Navy Admiral, our historic hotel dates to 1848. When Sir Thomas was looking for a site for his retirement home, he asked his friend and poet William Wordsworth to assist him on finding the ideal location. Sir Thomas spent many years in the Lakes before returning to his roots in the South of England.
1989
In 1989 the building half the size of the existing building and was a B&B called Craig Foot, when it was purchased by the current family. Tom and Eileen Harwood, who had owned several hotels previously, set out to transform the building with a significant extension and modernisation of the facilities and re-opened the hotel as Craig Manor in 1990. Winning awards for this property development, Tom and Eileen put the Craig Manor on the map as a popular Bowness hotel for years to come.
2024
In 2024 Amanda Brady, daughter of Tom and Eileen, and her husband Mark have carried out a significant refurbishment to Craig Manor including the addition of Rum Nicky Brunch Kitchen, a summer terrace and fitness room to meet the requirements of modern travellers in 2024. We hope that you enjoy your time with us at Craig Manor and look forward to welcoming you.
