“Very central to many locations.”

Very comfortable , quite a spacious apartment , everything and more for a vacation. Quiet area, with designated parking place.. Need to be aware it’s on the top floor of a three story building, stairway on the side of building but undercover. Lots of history of the building as it was a bobbin mill, pictures and information in the apartment. Now has three apartments finished to a high standard. Would certainly stay again.

“Fab place to unwind.”

Lovely comfortable apartment. Handy place for most of the Lake District
Mr Pay July 2018

“Picked the wrong week for our stay, it rained almost non stop.”

However we made the most of it and it was a joy to return to our holiday home. Which was warm, cosy and very clean and nicely furnished.
Mr Britton July 2018

“The location of Crooklands was perfect for us.”

A quick trip up the M6 to get to the northern side and the southern lakes were not far away. As others have said the bed is very comfy! The layout of the accommodation is great and it had everything needed to be able to self cater. There is a very good size fridge/freezer which was nice to have too. The food at the hotel literally 2 minutes walk away was good too. Would definitely recommend this accommodation and would happily return again (tomorrow if I could!!)

“The information said that there is a table and chairs available on the stone BBQ area at the front.”

However it was Thursday evening before these appeared!!! So disappointing, as the weather was amazing and perfect for sitting out. So we were unable to sit out at the apartment for the whole of our holiday. We felt very let down by Sykes.

“There was no stone unturned.”

There's a book with every single detail about the place, including menus for surrounding eateries. I didn't want to leave.

“The cottage was just lovely, clean and everything we needed.”

we loved the log burner each night and the bed is as comfy as everyone says it is. The location was just perfect , we packed lots of walks and adventure days in. we would love to return to Crooklands cottage and will tell all our friends and family about how wonderful it is.
Mrs Hannaford December 2017

“Because everything was perfect in the apartment, it was great to come back and relax there after a day out exploring the Lakes .”

It was almost like coming home every night . Thank you we will use Sykes again

Crooklands Apartments

These three apartments that have been beautifully refurbished from an 18th century, semi-detached water mill, in the hamlet of Crooklands in the South Lakes, 6 miles from Kendal and 5.5 miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. These spacious apartments have been created within the mill building which is next to a river and each occupies an entire floor with its own private entrance. Furnished in a contemporary fashion, each apartment has open plan living with well-equipped kitchen, dining and sitting areas and all have a woodburning stove which is perfect on chilly evenings to enjoy and relax. Two bathrooms have baths which are ideal for a soak after a day’s exertion while the ground floor apartment has a wet room. The contemporary dining areas all have quality, individual styled dining table and chairs and the tasteful, comfortable soft furnishings are also all slightly different in each sitting area, still keeping the quality modern feel. All apartments share the lawned garden and there are two patio areas with seating, one of which is directly by the river where the mill wheel was once housed. In addition to the garden area the ground floor apartment also has a generous private patio, perfect for enjoying an alfresco meal. Next door is a pub/restaurant and the village shop is only one mile away. These apartments are close to the attractive town of Kendal, often referred to as the gateway to the lakes. There is much to see and do here from Kendal Castle and the Abbot Hall Gallery to visiting the array of shops and eateries with festivals throughout the year. Kirkby Lonsdale is a small but pretty bustling market town with the infamous Devil’s Bridge and beautiful river walk with Ruskin’s steps and vista by the ancient church which will reward you at the end of the walk by the town. There are also the local historic houses of Levens Hall with world class gardens and topiary and Sizergh Castle; both have eateries with mouth-watering fare to tempt you. This area is a walkers’ delight and is also extremely popular for cyclists. The coastal villages of Arnside and Silverdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are both worthy of a visit. These quality stylish apartments are perfectly positioned to easily explore the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales, coast and estuary and are ideal for family and friends.
