Would recommend a stay here if you are travelling south, Scotland to Wales.
Pros:

Lovely staff as I’d booked dinner but not for the night we were staying 🤔 but the receptionist quickly got us booked for that evening. Dinner was lovely again staff very attentive. Breakfast again great.

Cons:

It was very warm during our stay and air con would have been nice in our room.

Nice modern hotel in a very convenient location
Pros:

Really nice hotel a short distance from the M6. We arrived quite late after a long drive and were given really helpful information on how to check in, and we even got drinks at the bar even though we arrived 15 mins before closing. Nice modern, quiet room as well. Very convenient for the Lakes and Dales too.

Good place to stay if visiting the southern part of the Lake District
Pros:

The bedroom was spacious and clean. All the food we had during our stay was excellent. Quality produce and cooked to a high standard. Everything that was supposed to be hot was served piping hot.

Cons:

The mattresses on our bed had seen better days so we struggled to get a good nights sleep

COMPLETELY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Crooklands Hotel in Westmorland. Arrogant, haughty, unfriendly and unhelpful staff. 

In a lifetime of staying in Hotels good bad and indifferent all over the world, never have I felt so uncomfortable or unwelcome as I feel in this place.

In Reception and in the restaurant, the staff seem to think that the customers are a nuisance and the Hotel is run not for the customers but for the staff. 

Deeply unpleasant and offensive. Never will I stay in a Best western again.
