About Cedar Manor

Cedar Manor dates back to 1854 when it was built as a Lakeland country house retreat for a wealthy industrialist. On the outskirts of Windermere and just half a mile from the lake shore, it sits in its own mature walled gardens alongside the 200-year-old Indian cedar tree that gives the property its name. The Hotel has a contemporary twist with modern bathrooms, Wifi and all you would expect in a modern hotel, but within the traditional environment of a Gothic Victorian building. The public areas have 2 lounges, one traditional, one more modern, a classic dining room where you can enjoy a refined Afternoon Tea and a lovely patio for the warmer days and evenings and 10 individually designed ensuite rooms, including two suites. Afternoon Tea is served Thursday to Monday from 1.30pm to 4pm inclusive.

We visited the Lake District to celebrate our first wedding anniversary this past weekend. My wife and I are both fans of afternoon tea so we were overjoyed to find this treat only a few minutes walk from our hotel. The owner was pleasant, very friendly and the afternoon tea itself was delicious! We felt very relaxed and not rushed in the slightest. Would definitely return again :)

Hello, We were visiting the Lake District last week and staying in Ambleside. We like afternoon tea and became aware of Cedar Manor. We booked and experienced the most wonderful afternoon. The service was excellent, the surroundings spectacular and the tea with a special glass of Prosecco was out of this world. This really made a special interlude in our short stay. The Lake district is special and Cedar manor compliments it. Thank you

My wife and I enjoyed the afternoon tea at Cedar Manor. The whole experience was brilliant! The setting was beautiful. The service from Jonathan was amazing - really nice guy, enjoyed chatting to him. The savoury starters were all extremely tasty. And then the tiered platter with the cakes and various patisseries was incredible. Gotta say, the stars of the show were the buttermilk scones. Probably the best scones I've ever had. They also offered a great range of teas and coffee, which complemented all the food wonderfully. Can't fault it! Will be returning as soon as we're back in the Lakes.

Whilst staying in Windermere we booked to have the afternoon tea. On arrival we were met by the charming owner Jonathan and given the opportunity to take tea outside on the patio. He then attended to our requirements for the whole of the experience. Delicious sandwiches and cakes with fresh cooked scones and homemade jam. Plentiful supply of tea of choice. Unhurried and very relaxed afternoon. Would highly recommend a visit. A perfect choice for afternoon tea.

What a fabulous afternoon tea! Cedar Manor go the extra mile to make their afternoon tea special. They started with a small soup topped with spiced oil and this was followed by a small prawn cocktail. Then we were served with fresh sandwiches- the smoked salmon and lemon butter was delicious. Then came the stand of freshly made cakes and scones. My favourite was the mini lemon meringue which was so light and tangy. Homemade jam was delightfully flavoursome. The service was exceptional and the quality of everything too class.
