The Cranleigh, for lovers of quirky interior design in Bowness-on-Windermere

From the outside, the five-star, adults-only B&B Cranleigh looks like a typically scenic, ivy-clad Lake District flagstone house, but the interiors have unusually funktastic decor for the Lakes, with a kind of Boogie Nights meets goth vibe, featuring crushed velvet textiles, shiny wallpaper and moody lighting. It’s the kind of place you start the day with a cooked breakfast and end it with the clink of champagne flutes. The suites have jacuzzi baths and you’re only two minutes’ walk from soul-stirring views across Lake Windermere.
