“Spacious apartment - clean and bright.”

Booked again for Christmas.
Mr Hopewell September 2019

“Comfortable apartment in a great area to visit the south lames.”

Good food available at the Crooklands Hotel, 2 minutes walk, and the Punch Bowl, 5 minutes drive.
Mrs Hadfield August 2019

“We have loved it at Crooklands 2.”

It’s is home from home, everything is provided and thought of. It’s a fab location to explore the Lake District (Windermere is 25 min drive) and Morecambe bay (Silverdale is a 20 min drive). The RSPB nature reserve at Leighton moss and Morecambe bay is brilliant and very close by. Loads to do for children within a 10 min drive. Large Asda 10 mins away for a bit of food shopping and the local bakery at Endmoor less than 5 min drive up the road does amazing sandwiches, cakes and pies. The Crooklands pub/ hotel which is a short walk also does lovely food. We will be back!!

“Great location, worked out well got our family of four visiting family in Kendal.”

It was nice and appreciated that the accommodation had some basics like washing powder and salt and pepper everything help when you are visiting from Canada. The host was really friendly and helpful including offering to help dry our washing as the dryer was not working. Overall we would recommend this accommodation to others.

“Desparately need a break after a difficult year.”

Searched website, found the flat looked good value at v short notice. Really nice flat. Tastefully decorated and furnished. Well equiped. Lovely location. Well situated for where we wanted to visit. Traces of damp in main bedroom. Water pressure made the shower head difficult.
Mr Griffin July 2018

“We booked 2 Crooklands House as a last minute getaway and we could not have been happier with the accommodation.”

Great location for exploring the both the Lakes and the Dales. The flat itself was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The family had a great week thanks to Sykes and Crooklands House.
Mr Barker June 2018

“The cottage was well presented, clean and had all the equipment we needed.”

The were some small niggles but hardly worth a mention, noisy kitchen tap. Bathroom shower head holder needs tightening, so that it holds the shower handle in place when on full pressure. We had a great time at the cottage and found it very well positioned between the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and the sea at Morcambe. We thought it was especially nice that all the neighbours were friendly and asked if we were ok and if we needed anything and were very helpful with advice. A big plus.

“Too Short a stay”

We booked both Crooklands House 2 and Crooklands House 3 for a family vacation and we left wanting to extend our vacation. Set in the countryside but easily accessible Crooklands House is just beautiful from the moment you are welcomed into the stunningly spacious apartment's with their impressive architectural features of the original mill building to the gorgeous rooms. Each apartment occupied an entire floor. At the back of both apartments, you overlook the river and beyond this are lush green fields. There is a seated area here just by the river but don't worry, it is child friendly as there are wooden balustrades which still allow you to enjoy the views of the river and rural countryside beyond. To the front of the property, as we had also rented apartment 3, we enjoyed the courtyard. There is however also a communal lawned area with seating. This was great for a BBQ. The apartments and in fact the whole house, were totally immaculate and very tastefully appointed and supplied with everything one could need. There was a washing machine in both apartments which does take a good load.. very handy for when the little ones have been to the beaches nearby or back from their long walks. There are plenty of kitchen utensils, from a masher to a milk frother as well as pots and pans. The beds in each apartment were very comfortable and the rooms cosily warm. In Crooklands House 2 my two boys slept in the bunk beds provided. These too were very comfortable and as a parent, I can confirm that they are very secure and I had peace of mind that the boys were safe. The bathrooms have a contemporary feel and we were never short of towels or hot water. There is a garage nearby as well as a local village shop but we shopped at the local supermarket which was a 5 min drive so everything is conveniently located. The only downside was that we were only there for 5 nights....it was a really super relaxing and peaceful base for touring the Lakes. My family and I would really really highly recommend staying at any of the apartments at Crooklands House, you wont leave disappointed. As we visit the Lakes annually we have stayed at other venues and locations but this is by far the best... we will be back.

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.
