Find the Cheap Crooklands Hotels

Once again ( for the Nth time ) we held our annual dinner for the Lancaster Canal tripboat crew ( for our boat Waterwitch) My wife and I stayed overnight with other friends and colleagues. The 3 course dinner was excellent with great choices for each course. As ever , the friendly and efficient service was brilliant with 18 meals served quickly and accurately, including the special requests. We have used this hotel frequently for entertainment evenings like the above , and also for corporate training days . Since the current owners took over the standards have gone to new heights , the food is excellent ( and I worked in the hotel trade as a chef in my younger days so I am speaking with authority on the subject) Excellent work Rob , we will be back operating trips ( just across the road) on the canal with Waterwitch next Spring, and we look forward to enjoying your hospitality in 2025 Ian Treanor Boat Manager Lancaster Canal Trust

Great services , nice and clean room . I will go to this hotel again.

Although the hotel is just off the main road into Kendal, it is very quiet, and we had a room in the front. We had a very good welcome at reception. As it was a special occasion we had booked the junior suite on the second floor. There was a convenient lift and the room was nearby. The room itself was clean and tidy with all the usual amenities. It did require a bit of TLC to the paintwork, but we were subsequently told work is due to start at the hotel now out of season is here. The bathroom had a bath and large shower and was very clean. There was a nice environmental touch of soap and body wash bars in small bags, and locally produced. Breakfast was cooked to order, well presented and very tasty. I can definitely recommend the kipper. There was a varied evening meal menu and that was top notch. The bar was well stocked and there was an excellent lounge area to relax in at the end of your meal. We found all staff excellent with nothing too much trouble. Helen, the manager runs a very good establishment. We would certainly visit again.

£200 for a basic room for one night was a bit on the pricey side for me, however it was nice all the same. A few of the photos of the basic room are misleading. The photos show a four post double bed which is not the case. We found out later this is actually an executive room despite it being labeled basic. We found out that the hotel location is accessible by bus from Oxenholme train station (despite being told the opposite) and has a great view of beautiful fields. Food in the hotel is good but expensive... My eyes nearly popped out their sockets when I saw the £8.00 charge just for the tiniest amount of table bread. I'd say this was probably the reason the restaurant was empty despite being told we need to book a table due to its popularity. Swimming pool and steam room are average for the price. Staff are friendly and changed our room to a double bed room free of charge after mistakenly putting us in a twin bedroom.
