Crooklands Cottage Reviews

Louise
3rd time staying here, never had any complaints. Lovely area and we had the most amazing weather during our stay
Denise
Beautiful spacious property which was perfect for our large family party. Beds are all very comfortable, bathrooms large with great showers, kitchen well equipped. Lovely garden with hot tub and parking in the hotel car park right next to the house. There is lots of space for a large party to spread out and we enjoyed the games room. The only small change we would suggest is some additional lamps in the lounge it was dark particularly in the tv area especially if you dont use the tv like us but the ceiling light made it too bright! We would highly recommend this property.
Had another perfect stay! following our stay in June last year for a 50th celebration we decided to return with family for my 60th Birthday. The cottage is amazing and kept my Grandchildren entertained in the hot tub and the games room and the adults and dogs in the lounge. Its a great location with easy access to anywhere in the lakes or further. We ate in the hotel on the Birthday night and the staff were wonderful and the food was amazing as it was last time we visited. We had our own games night with straws, paper cups and ping pong balls, there is so much space in the house that we could do this indoors when the rain came down. Everything about this place is perfect. There were plenty of towels, loo rolls, plugs all the little things that make life more comfortable. My SonInLaw loved the coffee machine with the pods. The 2 ovens allowed us to cook full breakfast for 9 of us with ease. Constant hot water, underfloor heating we had snow at one point but the house was lovely and warm and radiators. I spoke with the owner prior to the trip who arranged one bedroom to be split into single beds for our smaller Grandchildren and we also preordered the food for our meal in the hotel so the starters were served very quickly after our arrival. Everything was perfect and we will definitely return. Thank you for making my Birthday so great! x
The cottage is amazing in every way ! ! We went with our grandchildren and we all had a fabulous time. The location is perfect with a lovely restaurantbar next door. The cottage had everything you would need for an amazing break and the layout was perfect for a large group or family. My grandchildren did not want to leave and loved the Games room We have stayed at many cottages over the years and this was The Best. Also lovely touch as delicious cakes to welcome us x
Darren
Excellent property would recommend to anyone

Angela

We stopped as a family of 8 plus 2 dogs for my 60th birthday celebration, there is so much space & feel the photos just don't do the property justice, plenty of car parking spaces at the hotel next door & the meals at the hotel was lovely too, washing machine was really handy after a muddy walk, one of our party mentioned that she wished there had been a dressing table in her room so that she could have somewhere to dry her hair, the large wall mirror in her room had no plug by it so she had to dry her hair in our bedroom, I would definitely recommend this property & we will definitely be back
Absolutely stunning cottage. Amazing set up. Would highly recommend for some relaxing time away.
Joseph
This property was absolutely stunning. We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my mother in laws 60th birthday. The house has everything you need, bedrooms were amazing, comfortable and spacious and the games room was well enjoyed by everyone. The cakes left by owner were a really nice touch too. Would highly recommend Crooklands Cottage to anyone looking for a group stay. Despite the weather we got some use out of the lovely hot tub when the rain was off. The garden would have been gorgeous to sit in had we not went in October. A short drive to Kendal which is a lovely town for a Sunday lunch and stroll.
Melissa
This was my second stay at Crooklands Cottage and after my first visit a couple of years ago, I was just as astonished by it this time! ! We came as a girl group of 10 from Liverpool for my UK Hen Do with an age range from 1460 and every single one of us were given the wow factor! The modest look, cleanliness, facilities and the added touch of homemade bakes on arrival all made it worth every penny. The owners are lovely people and there to assist when needed. The price can look scary at first glance for example, we paid 1500 approx for the weekend, but split between 10 150 each for a luxury stay FridaySunday with a hot tub and games room isnt much at all! Linen and towels provided. Dont hesitate to book if youre considering it. Already looking to book again for peak summer next year with the family thanks so much for another memorable trip Crooklands x
Lovely property situated on the edge of the Lake District. Need to book a table in advance if wanting to eat at the local pub.
As a family celebrating my wife's 70th birthday the cottage was exactly what we wanted. 4 grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed our nightly pool competition and everyone utilised the hottub afternoon and night.Family mealtimes together were brilliant with the expansive kitchen diner and super facilities,although the oven was a bit of a challenge to work out even with the instructions
Stuart
Another great week at Crooklands Cottage
Absolutely stunning property pictures don't do it justice! Great location, and incredibly beautiful surroundings too! We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table very much and would love to return soon
Lindsay
This was my second time at Crooklands, both times we was having a celebration! This place is amazing! I took so many pictures and shared them with friends and family! Everyone has commented on how lovely the place is! The local pub next door has amazing food too! Cant wait to book again. Thank you 5s!!!
This stunning recently hosted my friend's holiday joint hen&stag do. Pictures honestly do not do it justice. It's just perfect. Incredibly spacious, very clean, amazing facilities such as a ps5 with 4 controllers, large hot tub, gorgeous patio and very spacious garden. Honestly was so blown away. Waking up to the river in the morning was honestly just fantastic. The only down side is it advertised a juliet balcony but you couldn't actually open the doors to access it but I understand that this was done for safety reasons. Would definitely stay again and have recommended to others. Perfect location too, mere minutes away from just so much
Patricia
It was all we had hoped for, for a family gettogether. The listing was absolutely accurate. It's a beautiful holiday home in a gorgeous location. The hot tub and pool room were very popular! The kitchen is amazing and very well equipped and the bedrooms, especially the two en suites, were stunning. The welcome cakes that were left went down very well too
Hayley
We had a great stay at Crooklands cottage and would highly recommend. We had a lovely warm welcome with a platter of fresh cakes, which was unexpected. The cottage has everything you need for a short break, with plenty of pots, pans, plates, cutlery, cooking utensils and glasses including plastic for use outside. The appliances are high quality and as new, perfect when cooking for 6 or more. The bedrooms are very spacious with lots of wardrobe space and the beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms are roomy with lots of space to keep your toiletries, although we could have done with a couple of hooks for towelsdressing gowns. The cottage is pet friendly but there are no tell tale signs of this, which I was worried about as we didnt bring any furry friends. It was very clean throughout with no pet smells. The location of the cottage was excellent for us. Places such as Windermere and Kendal are within a 25 min drive. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We had a great stay here with friends for my husbands 40th, the cottage had everything we needed, great location, clean and garden and hot tub were great after a long day out, would definitely recommend for larger groups, rooms are very spacious with plenty storage space and not feeling like your living on top of each other.

Victoria
Just returned from a lovely weekend. Great house. Large comfortable and warm for this time of year. Ideal for a family gettaway. Lovely large hot tub. Good pool table and playstation. Everything you would need in the house. Nice for a walk along the river. Cosy pub next door for a drink or food. We would love to stay again sometime.
We had a fantastic stay at Crooklands Cottage over New Year. There were 10 of us 6 adults and 4 children aged 815 and the cottage had everything we could possibly need. The kids loved the games room and hot tub and the open plan ground floor meant that we were all together but with plenty of space. We spent most of our time in the Cottage relaxing however we had lunch in the hotel restaurant before checking in. The food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic. Outwith that, we went for a lovely dog walk along the canal next to the cottage and took the 15min drive into Kendal one afternoon. We scheduled a Tesco order to be delivered to us on arrival and did all of our own cooking. The kitchen had everything we needed and the large dining table meant that all 10 of us could eat together even though there was another kitchen table that the kids liked to use for lunch. All in all, a brilliant stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend.
We have just come back from a Christmas break at crooklands cottage, we are a family if 10, 3 generations and the was more than enough space for everyone, the kids and adults loved the games room, the the hot tub was amazing and checked everyday. Even though the house was big it still felt cozy, all the bedrooms were of a good size too The owners had left us some delicious cakes on our arrival I would definitely book it again and I can't recommend it highly enough
Leeanne

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.

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.
