Cragwood Country House Hotel, Windermere

历史

Cragwood was originally designed by Frank Dunkerley and built in 1910 for the industrialist Albert Warburton. The house is built from stone quarried in its own grounds and these quarries, which are now a feature of the water gardens, also provided the stone for the famous roundhouse on Belle Isle and many of the houses on the opposite shore of the lake. Many of the Cragwood's original features have been retained and lovingly restored including beautiful wood panelling and magnificent fireplaces.

The Edwardian Gardens, landscaped at the turn of the century by Thomas Mawson, lead down to the shore of Lake Windermere where there is half a mile of lake frontage. Scattered across the shore, both above and below the water-line, are the curious "Inscribed Rocks of Windermere" and on which the recluse John Longmire carved the names of his heroes and enthusiasms in stone.
