CrooklandsLA7 7NW

What began life as a farmhouse dating back to the mid 1700s The Crookland is now a unique family run hotel with a homely atmosphere.

We welcome all business and leisure guests as well as our locals to gather and share stories of the day’s events over a pint in our Inn, or dinner in our restaurant, both are guaranteed to make you feel equally at home.We’re ideally placed to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks and our team, who all live locally, will happily share their ‘not to be missed’ recommendations.Just over a mile from junction 36 of the M6 motorway, and with plenty of free parking, Crooklands is an excellent location to host business meetings, family get-togethers, social weekends, or an overnight stay if you’re heading up or down the country.From popping in for coffee or staying with us, our welcome is the same – friendly and professional with a smile and a side order of banter, if you so wish!

Meetings

We don’t do weddings! Well, we certainly don’t do weddings in the more traditional sense.What we do, say ‘I do’ to are weddings and civil partnerships that are unique and suitably special for the happy couple to remember, always.A wedding celebration that is led by you – informal, relaxed, fun and outside the usual mould.We start with a blank canvas, inviting you to sketch out your vision for the perfect day or weekend celebrations. Menus, music, flowers, decorations and themes can all be determined by you.We have two banqueting suites located on the first floor with views across Westmorland and Lancaster Canal. The Hayloft offers a vaulted ceiling, with exposed beams and flooring built for dancing! whilst the adjoining Westmorland room is perfect for larger groups. Both can accommodate up to 60 guests, giving an overall capacity of 120 with an interconnecting welcome foyer.The Cumbrian Suite is a more intimate banqueting suite catering for 40 guests on the ground floor with a private entrance.At present, our venue is not licenced to hold civil wedding ceremonies. However, after all the paperwork is complete, we’re certainly here to get the celebrations started!The Hotel has 31 bedrooms for close family or relatives traveling from afar. We also have a private 5 bedroom house within the grounds for the bridal party to enjoy exclusively.
