Room immaculate, staff very pleasant and friendly. Great location, just 2 mins off the M6 yet you would never know. Would stay again.
Rebecca
Great small hotel to break up our journey. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was good, comfortable room. Lovely location with walk along the canal across the road. We found this great value for money.
Mary
Lovely place with tables out side to sit at . Food was very good , but rather large hepings.

Lovely place to stay but very hot during a heatwave
Katherine
Location was good, plenty of parking. When leak was reported it was investigated promptly. Would avoid rooms on ground floor that back onto beer garden as toilet window and main window open to garden. No air con, would have been a nice touch if fan had been placed in the room during heat wave. Not enough coat handers. Dinner and breakfast were nice but service was slow. Would we stay again, unfortunately no.

Everything about the hotel from the staff , check in process and the restaurant food was excellent. will definitely recommend and I will be booking again.
Susan
We had a lovely one night stay at the hotel. We made a good choice. Just minutes off the motorway and very easy to get to. Plenty of parking. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I can’t fault them at all. The bedroom was clean, well appointed and comfortable. I’d have liked an iron in the room if I was staying for more than one night. The food at dinner was delicious and breakfast is very good. All in all we had a fabulous stay and will intend to return, as well as recommending the hotel to friends and family.
Ivan
Clean room, and cozy. Dinner and breakfast was great! Would definitely go back.
Martin
Good location a short distance from the motorway. Plenty of parking and a fuel station near junction to motorway.
Staff are helpful and friendly. On line booking for restaurant was honoured. Nice rooms modern and well maintained with good size bathroom. Tea/coffee biscuits etc. Nice bar and a very busy restaurant. Menu was excellent and food good quality. Again breakfast menu was a nice change with fish options/haddock. Very good. The pricing was excellent and was good value. We had spent 2 weeks in Scotland on NC500 stayed in different hotels each night. This was stop off on the way back to West Wales and the best hotel of the whole trip.

jayne
I liked so much of it. Draw back for me as a 62 yr old woman travelling alone was the dining experience. Both at dinner and breakfast I was put in the middle of the room where I felt vulnerable. I did say something but they said it was what they had available. I did book a month or two ago so this wasn’t a last minute thing. I guess there will be those whose who don’t understand my concerns but there will be many others that will get it totally.
Otherwise the room and lounges were all excellent.

We arrived at the hotel & a warm welcome. Everyone was friendly & accommodating. We were especially happy with there knowledge of gluten free foods. The food was in a word Fantastic & plenty choices! A lovely place to stay with a walkin shower & nice seated area to enjoy the sun. We will definitely recommend it to our family & friends. 😁 Happy customers. Well done! Congratulations 👏 to the Chef & Family Run Hotel. We look forward to our next visit. Well done!😍

Super stay with room for dog and food at night very good would recommend booking your table early as was busy on the night we stayed
Joanne
Excellent overnight stay. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Barbara
The reception staff were excellent. The room was huge, clean and very comfortable. Television was frustrating since none of the smart tv features worked, but live TV I finally figured how to access it. Food was good, not spectacular. Service was fast and very friendly. Breakfast was great - although the coffee wasn’t fresh in spite of my being the first guest in for breakfast.
Helen
The communal areas were bright, fun and comfortable. Breakfast staff especially were very welcoming, relaxed and friendly. The room was perfect for whatever needed. Lovely bathroom.
Matthew
This is a nice overall good hotel, the rooms are recently refurbished (although all the doors including in room and all corridors look like motorway service station motels). Nice comfy beds and hot powerful showers all at a reasonable price. TV’s are tiny but you can’t have everything. Nothing notable enough to remove a star
The food, both dinner and breakfast was absolutely out of this world and a reason to visit on its own without the hotel, huge portions and really really excellent

Our stay was fabulous. Its an amazing place with amazing staff and food. Beds and rooms we're immaculate. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 5 star was the dogs barking late at night. Don't know of they were inside or out or both but it was on going for quite a while.
Will be back though

Kathryn
Such a great place to stay for a couple of nights. The staff are excellent; friendly and very helpful. The breakfasts were excellent, too. And our twin room was very comfortable - very comfy beds and excellent shower en-suite. Very nice touches in lots of ways. We ate dinner both nights and were very impressed with both the quality and quantity of the meals. We really hope we will have another visit!

The room was a little smaller than what we were expecting.We have stayed in Novotels and Premier inns over the past 3 weeks and their rooms were a bit more spacious.
The bed Mattress is a poor quality and would suggest a review by the hotel. Hence 3 stars.

Excellent room very clean and modern with comfortable bed. Walk in shower very good and easy to operate. Breakfast was as expected for busy dining room .
Only downside was the barrage of emails about checking in on line and reserving a table in the restaurant. System may work fine if booking one room but is complicated if you book room for another person as well . This might be a booking agent problem or the hotels .

Jacqueline
The best stopover off the M6.
I was so glad we decided to return to Crooklands, even though we did not arrive till 7,30 because of traffic and weather. The hotel is so welcoming. Everything is of a high standard. Food, staff, furniture, all excellent. Beautiful shower room. We will definitely be back.
Dean
Perfect for our trip to the Lakes.
Chloe
Great family stay
Staff couldn’t be more helpful, a great place to stay with our young child- we had room 11 and the layout works so well for a family
Anne
This hotel was perfect for us, but our stay was marred by the attitude of the restaurant manager on our last night. She was very curt with us when there had been a problem with the booking for our meal- which was an error on the part of the hotel. Every other staff member we spoke to was lovely but on our last night, her manner was very abrupt & less than helpful. Very disappointing, especially as we had stayed for 4 nights.

Very clean good facilities. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, good parking, lovely bar and restaurant. Charged full price however for one child eating half a slice of toast. Would stay again but perhaps opt out for breakfast for us personally, friendly staff.

Labonny
Friendly and polite staff from reception to bar/restaurant to housekeeping. Beautiful decor giving all public areas a sense of comfortable style and an upmarket but ´ at home ´ feeling.
Rooms were spacious enough and bathrooms clean and well maintained.
The only tiny niggle was the dinner menu which wasn’t hugely inspiring (mainly in the starter area) and also the pie which, although filling was absolutely delicious, was not encased in pastry but also the pastry topper was bit stodgy and not flaky puff pastry.
As I say a tiny thing but when coming up North from London you look forward to an excellent pie.
The other mains were excellent and all were piping hot.
Breakfast was also fine, nicely cooked full breakfast and lots of choice for cereals, yogurt and toast, although didn’t see any croissants, as was on the menu.
We visited as a large family group, overall a wonderful stay and all have said we would stay here again. Thanks Crooklands.

Slow service
Phone not working in room so couldn’t order room service. Asked for a gluten free meal but wasn’t convinced the Yorkshire puddings were gluten free and couldn’t clarify as phone not working. Room quite cold. Service at breakfast was very slow

Decent hotel good location
The hotel is fine and the location suited us. It was frustrating that when we booked there was very limited possibility for reserving a meal. I was surprised they didn't keep a few tables for residents. But there's plenty locally and it wasn't an issue. Friendly staff, plentiful parking, clean, warm. All good.
Sally
Room noisy view of roof and nothing else. Loud system on roof running all night. Room 6. Steer clear. Sheets clean but stained…. Won’t be staying here again. I think it must depend on which room you get to how good your stay is.
Verified traveler
Paper thin walls
Room next door were loud & walls are paper thin. Could do with curtains as well as a blind to block out light on an evening.
Neil
Easy access to scenic areas. Decent facilities. Rooms: walls a bit thin - could hear next door voices and snoring.

Lovely hotel.
Lovely hotel, looks like its been recently refurbished as our room and the communal areas were beautifully decorated. Our room and bathroom was comfortable and spacious and the food in the restaurant was excellent.

We love Crooklands
Staff are lovely and plan ahead for what they can manage, so restaurant stopped taking bookings so they could serve everyone properly. Amazing food.

Overnight
Well I would stay here again. It was a lovely hotel. Room was lovely shower excellent. The communal space was comfortable and welcoming. The reception was welcoming and checking in was so friendly. Went into the bar and ordered some drinks and lunch. Sandwishes where lovely and the bar nice and relaxing. Evening meal was lovely. Seabass was delicious as were the chicken strips. The dual roast was disappointing. It was slice roll of meat and not a proper roast. However i really enjoyed the evening. Bed was comfy and my breakfast was lovely. Thank you all the staff.
