We were travelling back to the Stranraer ferry from Cornwall and chose to break our journey nr Junction 36 on the M6 so that we could join friends for lunch in The Dales. What a lucky break to find such a well appointed hotel so near the motorway and within easy striking distance of both The Lake District and The... More

We originally booked for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay so much we extended it by an extra night. The staff could not be friendlier or more helpful without being over bearing and the food is really good and always hot. Portions are generous to say the least and the chips are to die for!!! The menu has a really... More

We have used this hotel as a posthouse stopping over en route to and from Scotland over the past 12 years. Since it was taken over by the present family owners, it has gone from strength to strength. The welcome is warm and friendly, the beds are very comfortable, the water hot, the food of excellent quality and plentiful. Although... More

Ideally placed for overnight stop or longer. Welcoming reception and catering staff. very pleasant "better" room in which everything worked. Only negative was the view from the large window of the barn next door. Very busy in restaurant on Easter Saturday night but a good meal was enjoyed. probably paid a premium because of the date but enjoyed our stay.

Stayed here for two nights for some R +R. Stayed in room 11 on the ground floor, all ok with the room, if only one very small complaint, it is that the shaving mirror in the bathroom could do with replacing, both sides have lost there mirror finish right in the middle. Food here is of a very good standard,... More

We use this hotel whenever we are in the area on business and every time we have been very happy with the staff, excellent food and comfortable rooms. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area

Our daughter took her mother & me out for a mother's day meal, it was a fantastic day out the hotel was very busy but the staff were very friendly and extremley helpful and coped very well with the demand of a full house well done to you all. Our meal was superb and we will definitely be back.

I have stayed here a couple of times now, the bedrooms are comfortable although bathrooms could do with updating. A good choice and well presented evening meal, and a particularly good, and piping hot breakfast! The staff are helpful, the bar lacks atmosphere but does serve real ale! Free wi-fi throughout, but on both of my visits this was poor,... More

Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law for introducing us to Crooklands! We had a lovely Sunday lunch. Good quality, well-cooked food and lots of it. The bowl of roast potatoes was a nice extra surprise! The staff were friendly and there was a good atmosphere with lots of regulars. The communal sitting areas looked very nice and I'm sure it... More
