How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from Agoda — guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover — we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 884 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.3/10 — the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: May 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet-friendly summary
Paw rating: 4.5/5 — based on one confirmed pet-traveller review of The Crooklands, BW Signature Collection. The score is positive but the sample is small, so calibrate accordingly when comparing against hotels with deeper pet-review histories.
The Crooklands is a Best Western Signature Collection inn in a small Cumbrian hamlet just off the M6 between Kendal and Burton-in-Kendal. The single confirmed pet-traveller report describes a welcoming atmosphere, comfortable rooms and friendly staff — a typical traditional-inn experience. The one practical heads-up from that review is that an additional dog charge of around £20 per stay applies. That is roughly double the £10 a regular UK pub-with-rooms guest might expect, so factor it into the total cost before booking.
Beyond the single review, the structural fit for dog travellers is good for the format: as a country inn-with-rooms it has a pub/restaurant area downstairs and the surrounding Cumbrian countryside is well set up for short walks before or after a meal. The Lake District's southern fringe and the Yorkshire Dales' western edge are both within easy driving distance, making this a practical overnight stop for travellers heading further north or breaking a longer journey. Pet amenities are not flagged on Agoda's hotel-side policy, so plan to bring your own bowls, bed and towels.
Best suited to: travellers with a calm, well-mannered dog using the inn as a Lakes-and-Dales stopover or a quiet M6-adjacent overnight. Confirm the current pet supplement with the hotel directly before arrival.
