Motorway hotel named best in the north that's nestled between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales
A motorway service station isn’t where you’d expect to find an amazing hotel, let alone one crowned ‘the best in the North’. Yet it’s where you’ll find the Westmorland Hotel which offers a tranquil escape from the hum of the M6.
Westmorland Hotel, former Tebay Services Hotel, is nestled between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales and is less than a two-hour drive from Manchester. Whether it's used as a base to explore the nearby national parks, or as a stop off on a long drive up to Scotland, the hotel promises a good nights’ sleep and hearty food.A second generation family business, the hotel began life in 1972 when the M6 was built through the Dunning family farm, which still supplies the beef and lamb.
The restaurant boasts panoramic views, so you can admire the beautiful countryside while you tuck in to your meal. Guests can expect hearty Cumbrian breakfasts too.
