Crooklands Cottage Reviews

Joanna
The photos dont do it justice & I want to go back! We stayed in this fantastic cottage with friends & family to kick off my 50th celebrations. They left a lovely card & some cakes for us on arrival & any questions I had before & during our stay were answered promptly. The bedrooms are gorgeous & very generous, facilities were fantastic & we loved the pool table & hot tub. Good location for some beautiful walks nearby & we ate in the pub twice too which was also great food & service. I really would love to come back some time, we loved our stay. Thank you so much!
Lorraine
Just perfect Beautiful cottage. We were a family of 10 with 2 babies and 2 dogs. Plenty of room. The 2 master rooms are so lovely. Made our stay so special. The cottage is equipped with everything you need. Faultless and so clean. Great having the hotel next door. Some of our party had an evening meal there which was so good. Would definitely book again .
Rheanne
We were a family group of 10 and absolutely loved our stay here, we didn't want to leave! Everything was thought about and was well equipped, the cakes on arrival were a nice extra. Lots of space so we weren't all on top of each other. We will 110 be back. I think our only recommendation would be some more free standing lamps in the downstairs area. Overall amazing and can't wait to return.
Andrew
An excellent holiday home. It had everything we needed for a short stay whilst playing golf in the area. Bedrooms were large and comfortable and reception rooms spacious. The hot tub was welcome relaxation after the golf too. The owner, Rob, was also very helpful.
Absolutely perfect few days away. Beautiful clean modern spacious cottage. Staff extremely helpful when we needed any questions answering, and any maintenance needed was dealt with efficiently and promptly. Would strongly recommend to anyone.
Exceptionally Clean, having stayed in a number of Sykes properties we were very impressed with the standard of cleanliness at Crooklands. We were greeted by a dome of tasty cakes, which were a wonderful treat for a few days. A beautiful large house, we kept going WOW as we walked around and losing each other. Everything was to a very high standard with lovely fluffy luxurious towels. We made use of every room including the games room, enjoying family meals round the large table. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed preparing meals as a large three generation family. There was salt and pepper, a few coffee pods, instant coffee sachets and tea bags but no milk, so remember to take some for that first cuppa. The Texaco garage is close by and has a shop. The hot tub was private and checked everyday. The garden provided a lovely outdoor space for our four children and dog to play, all very safe and secure. We had been cautious about the hotel car park but it was quiet and we were never disturbed by any noise. Well located for access to so many activities and The Lakes. Would highly recommend.
Stuart
Very enjoyable week at Crooklands, the house being everything that we expected, and big enough for all ten of us! The cakes on arrival were much appreciated! The only down side is that the road can be very noisy as well as inconsiderate hotel guests being very noisy early in the morning in the car park which is next door to the house. Other than that very good.
Amazing. I would rate higher if I could. Place was immaculate and had everything we needed. Great communication and would definitely stay again, cannot recommend enough!
Brilliant holiday house, we didnt want to leave! We were pleasantly surprised as the cottage is much bigger than we expected, the photos dont do it justice! There was plenty of space for us and it was lovely to not feel crammed in as a party of 8. The hot tub was great, and the games room was an added bonus for the evenings. The whole house was very clean and we couldnt fault it at all. The location is good for easy access onto the main roads to travel around the lakes, and the owner was very friendly and responsive when contacted.
Deborah
What a lovely spacious Cottage. Was lovely to share this with my Daughters and Grandchildren for my birthday. The Cottage had everything you could want. The Beds are huge and so comfy. Loved the Hot tub and games room. We ate twice in the Pub next door which is so handy to be able to walk to and the food was really nice. Thanks Rob you have a lovely Cottage.
Philip
Fantastic stay and not long enough. Grandchildren have already asked to go back for a longer stay. The house is more than big enough for all of us without being cramped and in each others space. Shame about the weather on the second day!! Welcome to Cumbria.
We had a wonderful holiday at crooklands cottage the house is beautiful and is situated in a great place for accessing the lakes. Our only negative piece of feedback would be that the car park was often full and we were unable to park. Maybe 2 of the spaces near the house could be marked up for the house only. The food in the hotel was also lovely. Thanks for a great stay.
We had a lovely few days in a lovely spacious cottage, decorated and equipped to a high standard. A home from home. All the living rooms had plenty of room for a large group. Everything you need was supplied in the kitchen and we loved the welcome cakes
Samantha
Amazing cottage Didn't want to leave Will definitely be booking again
Absolutely stunning cottage! Perfect location! Spent 2 nights at Crooklands cottage with a group of friends
Beautiful house. Spacious and great for the whole family. Large, safe garden plus playroom for the grandchildren. Brilliant location with lots to do. Lovely pubfood next door. Owners really helpful.
I cant talk highly enough of Crooklands Cottage, it is absolutely stunning. 10 of us went and were blown away by how stunning the property was it has everything you need to an incredibly high standard. I didnt realise it was right next to a little river which made sitting outside in the hotub even more relaxing. Although you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere which is exactly what we wanted you're still close enough to amenities and Kendal and Windemere. We booked into the restaurant at Crooklands Hotel on night too and it was delicious. We came away feeling refreshed after a wholesome weekend.
Fantastic cottage, maintained and presented to the highest standard. Games room kept the younger guests happy whilst the adults made the most of the extensive open living space. Great location for exploring the Lakes and surrounding areas. Hotel next door was also an excellent dining option!
Joanna
Perfect home for the weekend! Me and my friends stayed here for 2 of our birthdays and loved it! It is decorated lovely and so spacious. We loved how it had a pool table and hot tub too. The beds were also huge and so comfy! Thankyou
Fabulous cottage, its huge! We were a party of 9 adults and a child plus a dog. Enclosed gated garden and hot tub area also gated, so secure. So much living space, you are never on top of each other. Cottage is well appointed, very clean and well maintained. Lovely decor. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. Pool table room with PlayStation and nice sofas a massive hit, so lovely being able to be together either playing poolconsole or just sitting relaxing. Hot tub a good size and had lots of use, again lovely addition. Only thing I would have liked more of is cutlery, maybe another set adding to the drawer, as when you have 10 people eatingserving food, you tend to use a lot of it. We ate at The Crooklands pub, which was lovely too. Dog friendly in the bar area. All in all, a fabulous weekend had by all and would love to return, recommend for a large party. Thank you
Debbie
I cant recommend this property highly enough. I was impressed when I saw the photos of the property but when you see it in person, wow! It was amazing. It had everything we wanted and more. Such spacious rooms, modernly decorated and cleaned to a high standard. Just perfect! The communication with the owner was first class. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they responded immediately too. A perfect weekend from start to finish. We are already thinking of a reason to go back!
Over the years my wife and I and grown up children and grandchildren have stayed in many holiday homes to celebrate a birthday or just a break away, Crooklands Cottage is without doubt the best ever, it sets a very high standard in every way which reflects the high standard of the adjoining hotel run by Chris and Rob. The photos of the location are superb, but it looks even better as soon as you walk through that door! Fantastic week Thankyou so much. Chris & Carole x
Kieron
Luxury, spacious accommodation, which surpassed our expectations. The location and amenity of this property is outstanding. In particular, the property had been tastefully decorated for Christmas, which delighted the children both young and old! and we were treated to a welcome gift of some delicious, local cakes and pastries! The owners, Rob and Chris, also run the adjoining Crooklands Hotel, Restaurant and Bar. We enjoyed a superb meal there as well as great hospitality, but do book early to avoid disappointment. We did feedback to the owners that the photography in the property listing really fails to do this stunning property justice. All in all a faultless family Christmas break, thank you.
Very spacious cottage, spotless, everything you need for get away couldnt ... Very spacious cottage, spotless, everything you need for get away couldnt fault it in anyway 8 adults went and not a problem with anything definitely booking again
A lovely house in a great location. It is well equipped and was very cosy. The location is handy for the Lakes, the Dales, Morecambe Bay and lots of local attractions and walks. The garden is fenced. The busy pub next door is under the same ownership. We enjoyed an evening meal and a hearty breakfast on our checkout day. The pub is always busy so it is advisable to book for meals.
William
A wonderful stay at Crooklands, couldnt have asked for more in terms of the cleanliness, facilities and helpfulness of the owners! The hot tub and pool table absolutely made the stay and worth every penny, we booked as a group of friends and it was perfect, highly recommend, well be back!
Melanie
A beautiful property with plenty of space for a large family group. The views from the property where slightly disappointing, it is next door to a very busy pubhotel carpark. We had 3 cars to park and it wasn't always easy to find a space near to our holiday cottage.
We had a lovely stay at Crooklands would highly recommend. The games room was a complete hit for the teenagers and the rooms and spacious and very comfortable. There was everything you could need in the kitchen and all the required appliances for a long stay. We arrived to beautiful cakes left for us were were delicious. The hotel pub next door serves amazing food but prepare yourself if you have a small appetite because the portions are pretty big
Amazing property, had the best stay, would highly recommend.
Atiparsad
Very clean and extremely comfortable cottage! ! We had comfortable nights sleeps in super comfy beds. The property had car park, Jacuzzi, attached bathrooms. Excellent !! Highly recommended.
We stayed here for 2 nights as a family of six with one baby and one dog for my dads 60th. The cottage was immaculate when we walked in. Rob the owner was really helpful if we ever needed anything. The pool table in the games room was a great bonus and kept us entertained at night along with the hot tub. Everything was clean and fresh and we had access to everything we needed including fresh towels, a cot, high chair, iron, hairdryer and everything else. When we arrived we were left with a plate of homemade cakes which was a lovely touch! Its only an 13 minute drive into Kendall and only around 25 into Windermere. The pub is only next door which is great for a drink or food. Overall an amazing stay and I would recommend this to anyone!
Just returned from a long weekend at Crooklands Cottage wow, what a beautiful place to call home for four days. The pictures on the website do not do it any justice it is better!! Each of the rooms are spacious and the open plan area downstairs made it easy for all in our party to never be alone. The bedrooms were well appointed and the two ensuites were lovely. The fact there is the hot tub was a bonus, although with our schedule, we only used it the once! We were lucky with the weather, so from getting up each morning, we all spent time just sitting outside with the first brew of the day. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay there and will definitely stay again. Can definitely recommend Crooklands Cottage to others. Also, it's ideally located in the car park of Crooklands Hotel, so handy to go in there for a bite to eat if don't feel like cooking.
Ellimay
So lovely relaxing stay brought us more essentials when we needed them. Lovely addition of baked brownies and flapjacks on arrival. We all had a lovely time.
Beautiful spacious cottage in an ideal location. Very comfortable and clean. Brilliant for family holidays. Lovely pub next door with great food. Have booked again next year.
When arriving at the cottage I was very pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this place is. It is very spacious, ideal for a large party. Very comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a break away. We booked the hotel for dinner, the food was delicious and the staff so helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back.
Mollie
The photos dont do any justice for This cottage. Could not fault anything. Everything absolutely perfect. Cant wait to hopefully come back soon and stay again.
We are a group of 6 friends of a certain age who have known each other since primary school. We regularly book cottages in various locations for short breaks, and this is one of the best. The living room is very stylish, the kitchen well stocked, the bedrooms spacious and comfortable, and luxurious underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Could the house do with a 4th shower room? Probably, but we coped!
Visited with the family Frimon. 10 of us in total with dogs. Absolutely loved the house. Plenty space, beautifully done. Bedrooms fantastic and spacious. Everything you need to hand. Reception to hand for any problems and very quickly attended too. Would highly recommend.
Patricia
It is a lovely cottage! everything we needed was there, lovely very clean and comfortable. It is very close to the motorway and there is plenty of shops not far away. The cakes were lovely ! and a lovely touch . we will be back!

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
