This is a classic B&B that goes above and beyond the norm. The breakfast is incredible, and all the little touches make you feel like royalty.

Perfect B&B in Bowness
We stayed at Craigholme for 1 night in the week before Christmas, perfectly situated on the road into Bowness. Jackie is an amazing host and we were looked after during our stay. We stayed in Room 1 and everything was just right, a home from home for a great nights stay. Breakfast the next morning was just perfect and Covid guidance was adhered too. Would recommend this lovely little B&B to anyone, we will be back.

Fantastic B and B in Great Location
From booking to check out we can't think of anything negative to say, not that we'd want to. Booking, communications and check out all professional and friendly. The premises were delightful with many nice, and unexpected, touches. Decor was very tasteful and the whole place spotless and fresh. We were put at ease by our hosts on arrival and they were attentive and caring throughout. We had a great stay, a good night's sleep and the excellent breakfast capped of a first class experience. Thank you Jackie and Steve, we will be back.
