Whoop Hall Hotel and Leisure

If you want a warm, clean ,comfy en-suite room at a good price, then this hotel should suit you fine. It's a bit tired but ok and has working wifi It doesn't do any food (inc breakfast) but Kirkby Lonsdale is 1-2 mins away by car and has plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafes etc. The hotel does have a pool/health centre on site run (I believe) by another organisation, but you get free access to it. M6 about 10 mins drive, so worth considering for a long journey overnight break. South Lake District approx 30 mins.

No food available on site anymore and no breakfast option. Does not state this on booking site Staff very unwelcoming and verging on rude. On departure no one at reception. Waited 15 minutes, phoned and was advised to simply leave key and go. When I express my disappointment in the experience I was simply told to have a nice day. I will not be back and would recommend to others to avoid.

I had visited whoop hall in the past when it was a beautiful, thriving business. I don’t know the story behind it’s demise but at best it could be described as a motel. We didn’t mind the no food issue although we hadn’t realised that in advance We ate at The Plough and returned to sleep at Whoop. I commented that it didn’t feel like a hotel - literally somewhere to lay your head, There were two other guests We sat in the courtyard for a drink The owner was not rude to us It all just felt a bit sad He clearly had no staff and little enthusiasm for the whole hospitality side of things We waited ages for the water to run hot in the shower but it eventually did , thank goodness. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re booking a holiday - ok if you’re passing through and want somewhere to sleep for the night. It’s in a beautiful setting in a tourist area Sadly it’s lost it’s attraction and I came away wondering how it could ever move forward again
