"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday."
Every need was catered for. Very comfy beds, and the cottage was very clean. A charming little garden with lots of birds. Great days out too, with lots to do. Thank you for the welcome gifts, and our little dog loved his special treats & all the extras too. We would love to return in the future.
Really glad you enjoyed your stay at Old Mill Cottage. It's been a privilege to share our beautiful cottage with guests over the last few years. Property Owner

"Really comfortable property, we enjoyed our stay here."
The photos don't do it justice, really nicely done inside with lots of lovely touches throughout. The kitchen was good for meal preparation with decent mugs, proper ovenware and utensils. A couple of slightly sharper knives might be handy. Such a nice garden and the birds made the stay. It was lovely to be able to top up the feeders. Nice area for walks and a good base to explore from. Would definitely recommend this property.

"This was a return visit."
Thoroughly enjoyable week in a good location, short drive from Kendal and Windermere, lovely scenic walk straight from the door. The weather was good so we were able to enjoy the lovely outside space. The cottage was well equipped and clean on arrival and we appreciated the welcome gifts of wine, milk, biscuits, Kendal Mint Cake. Very thoughtful, thank you very much.
-
"Very comfortable stay."
The cottage was very well equipped with good quality bedding and towels. We needed the heating at the beginning of the week and the instructions were clear. Good location in easy reach of motorway and key walking spots. Appreciated the wine, biscuits, milk and doggy treats.
-
"The house and gardens are beautiful,very clean with everything you need."
The welcome milk,biscuits and Kendal mint cake were most welcoming.The Sun Inn in Crook proved to serve great food and service.The house was central to everywhere we wanted to visit. Loved the characteristics of the building with really tasteful decor
Thanks May. Really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Old Mill Cottage and that The Sun Inn looked after you well. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage in a lovely garden."
Very comfortable and well equipped. Loads of character. Great location, close to the main tourist areas, but hidden away in a very quiet hamlet. Good dog walking area behind the cottage. Would recommended The Black Labrador, if you don’t fancy cooking.
-
"A beautiful cottage, in a lovely setting, convenient for all walks of life be it walking, pottering or anything else that takes your fancy."
We will be back at some time in the future.

-
"We had a lovely week at Old Mill Cottage everything has been provided very well equipped and comfortable."
Didn't hav good weather so we didn't get to enjoy the lovely garden the only negative is the garden not being enclosed so had to keep the dog on his lead when he was out. Apart from that cottage is perfect and a lovely place to stay. Thank you for doggy treats and our sweet treats.
-
"We will be booking again & would highly recommend."
The owners were very helpful. A lovely place to stay. Thank you.
-
"There was absolutely nothing negative to say about the Old Mill Cottage."
It's a great location to relax and to reach some of the Lake District highlights conveniently by car. The Cottage is also a cosy and comfortable place when you have a rainy day. We solved one little issue quickly and efficiently with the most friendly and helpful owners.

"The only problem I have with this wonderful cottage is that it's not mine!"
! This was our second visit and we cannot fault anything, The cottage is spacious and in a quiet idyllic part of lakes but near enough to Windermere, Bowness, Ambleside, Kendal etc to make the whole experience enjoyable. Lovely walks from the doorstep or a very short drive away. The cottage has all of the amenities that one could want, it really is 'home away from home'. We'll definitely be returning on a regular basis.
-
"Lovely property with lots of character."

"Excellent in every way."
Great location, close enough to travel to major attractions by car and out the way of the masses! With careful planning, using the map lovely circular walks with the dogs from the cottage! Lovely touches at the cottage, comfortable beds and everything you need for your stay. If there is space in the bookings we will be back!

The little touches were very homely. Owner also extremely helpfull . Our family break was very comfortable happy time.
-
"This property was perfect."
We could not fault it in any way and will definitely be staying there again. It's ideally located; rural and peaceful but near enough to Windermere, Kendall etc. Very welcoming on arrival with a decorated Christmas tree, decorations and the table set for Christmas dining as well as treats for the dogs. It was definitely a 'home away from home' during our stay.
-
"Everything written about the cottage is true."
It's a fantastic place to stay with every comfort you could need. It's in a great place to explore the south lakes. The owners kept us up to date with travel conditions as there was some snow around when we visited. Lovely place in a tranquil setting and plenty of walks for us and the dog. We would highly recommend it.
-
"Lovely cosy cottage very clean and tidy."
Well equipped kitchen and lovely bed linens. Couldn't fault it would certainly stay again. Close to Windermere and surrounding lakes.
-
"We had a weeks holiday in old mill cottage, situated in a lovely position in crook, ideally placed for visiting Windermere, and lots of other beauty spots."
Old mill cottage is one of the nicest we have stayed in, extremely clean, and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay extremely comfortable, with lovely fixtures & fittings & homely touches, the beds are lovely & comfortable something that you can’t always say about holiday accommodation. We loved watching the birds in the garden & it was so nice the owners provided bird food so you could top up empty feeders. We would love to revisit & have no hesitation in recommending old mill cottage. Parking two cars was not a problem with a bit of thought
-
"A fabulous,well furnished and comfortable cottage in an ideal place for touring the Lake District."
I received a friendly message and email from the owners Andrew and Donna prior to our visit..asking us to get in touch if there was anything we needed. Everything about the cottage was of a good standard and kitchen was well equipped, and most importantly the beds were very comfortable. The owners had left a selection of books,games, videos and information folders along side welcome packs for both us and the dogs. We were very fortunate with having lovely weather throughout our stay and enjoyed visiting the many attractions in the area, which we recorded in the visitors book in the cottage. I have stayed at several homes throughout the UK and can rate this cottage as one of the best within the price range it sits and happily recommend it as a base if you wish to visit the Lake District. Thank you Andrew and Donna

"Everything we needed was provided for and we loved every minute of our stay the ..."
Everything we needed was provided for and we loved every minute of our stay the only thing that I can think of is that the doors to the garden were difficult to lock but I’m just being picky We would highly recommend the old mill cottage
-
"Lovely property, beautifully presented, just wished our holiday was a little longer to enjoy it more"
-
"What's not to love about Old Mill Cottage?"
Andrew and Donna have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The beds are so comfy, and support your back, so no backache!! That is a huge plus for us! The kitchen is very well equipped and there is plenty of space to store provisions. Good sized freezer and fridge. The lounge is cosy with a log burner, which we didn't need to use, but there were logs and kindling if we needed to, and the large table in the dining room easily accommodates six people. The garden is beautiful with places to sit, and the field up the lane is great for people with dogs. The area is quiet too with a decent pub just round the corner. Parking is a tad tight if you have a big car but we got our Zafira on it well enough. Two big cars would struggle though. We loved staying here and didn't want to go home. I think we will be back though! Thank you Andrew and Donna for making us feel so welcome!

"We absolutely loved Old Mill Cottage and enjoyed our stay at the Lake District!"
The house was very spacious, had everything you need to feel like home away from home and the garden was nice to sit and watch the various birds. The kids amenities were a big plus and we loved all the little details and decorations that made us see and feel how much love was put into the cottage. We'll definitely recommend it and maybe come back one day!
-
"We have just come back from a lovely stay in Old Mill Cottage, it was absolutely perfect!"
The Cottage is exceptional, everything you could possibly want for a relaxing comfortable stay. The village of Crook is perfectly situated for visiting the Lakes, if you enjoy climbing Honister Slate Mines are worth a visit, there are also some nice walks straight from the cottage and the 50m field up the road is great for the dog to have a walk or chase a ball. The garden is lovely, a really nice place to sit and watch the abundance of bird life especially after a busy day and then back to the peace and quiet of Old Mill Cottage. I highly recommend Old Mill Cottage and would love to come back one day. Our dog enjoyed her stay too she loved exploring the garden and sitting on the bench at the top watching the world go by!
-
"Old Mill Cottage is delightful and equipped just like your own home."
There is everything you could think of and it was prefectly clean. It was extremely comfortable and we had a lovely stay.
-
"A comfortable cottage with a interesting garden that attracts a great range of wild birds."
The property is spacious and comfortable. Wilfs cafe just two and as half miles away in Staveley is definitely worth a visit for breakfast or lunch, catering for gluten free and vegan diets.
-
"An exceptionally lovely cottage with a pretty garden, in a quiet location."
Equipped to a very high standard, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The owners were very attentive that our stay should be enjoyable as possible, contacting us before and again after we arrived to see that everything was to our satisfaction. Definitely deserving of a 5* rating and we very much look forward to staying there again in the future.
-
"Ideally placed in the south lakes ."
Quite hamlet with walks all round . Andrew was the perfect person and could be contacted at anytime should you need him . Facilities were excellent. Friendly pub down the road . Would certainly go back and recommend. Read on reviews problem with parking but we had no problem with two suvs
-
"Old Mill Cottage was the perfect base to explore the Lake District."
It had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. It was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The village of Crook was lovely and quiet and it was nice to return to after visiting places such as Windermere and Ambleside which were fairly busy. We would definitely recommend to others and would love to return some day.
-
"0ld Mill Cottage is spacious yet cozy."
The decor is delightful & everything you need is there . It is in an ideal position with Bowness/Windermere & Kendal a short drive away. The garden space is lovely to spend time outside although our weather was a little too cold to be able to do so . Andrew & Donna have left loads of advice in the cottage but make themselves available for any advice or help you may need . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & will be booking to stay there again.
-
"Just back from a week in this wonderful cottage."
We were kept well informed and updated by the owner before and during our stay. The cottage is in a quiet location, easy to reach. In a good location for exploring the south part of the lake district. It is a gem. Advert does not do it justice. Extremely clean, well maintained, everything you need and more. The beds are extremely comfy and cottage is cosy. Weather was definitely on our side and even managed to sit in the sun on several occasions and enjoyed watching the birds feeding in the garden. The flowers and little extras were a pleasant surprise on arrival. I would recommend staying here and am looking to come back again (soon). Thank you Andrew and Donna for sharing your cottage
-
"Had detailed information before arrival from Sykes, and the owner, Andrew."
The cottage was easy to find, just off the main road down a quiet country lane. The cottage is beautiful! A lovely garden, with Spring flowers just showing through. Accommodation was spacious, clean, cosy and comfortable. Large kitchen, with welcome pack, including tea, coffee, milk, biscuits. Lovely lounge with fire, although the cottage was warm enough, so we didn't use it. Bedrooms beautifully appointed, and again comfortable. Both bathrooms clean, and nice bath and showers. Lovely area to be based in with easy access to Kendal and all that the southern Lakes has to offer. Thank you Andrew and Donna.

"Just back from a superb weeks stay in this delightful cottage."
Tucked away in a quiet location yet just 5 miles from Bowness On Windermere, the cottage has everything you require for a relaxing, perfect time away, even down to providing towels & dog leads just in case you've forgotten your 4 legged friends. The Sun Inn is a 5 minute walk with excellent home cooked food, would recommend the Beef Ale Suet pudding as my fiance said it was excellent. Sleeping was not an issue, extremely quiet, with the double bed next to the ensuite bathroom one of the comfiest we've had the pleasure of sleeping in. Large kitchen area, dining room with table that seats 6 with ease and a lovely sitting room looking out onto the garden area where woodpecker's were spotted on the feeders. Walk up the lane a few hundred yards and you might be lucky enough to catch sight of the deer as we did. Would we recommend this cottage, if you want peace and quiet but close enough to the tourist areas of Windermere, Bowness, along with Kendal and Keswick, definitely, we'll be back next year......

"The picture of this cottage looks as if the driveway is really large."
This is not the case. The parking is on a small patch of tarmac and to park 2 cars on there is really tight and can only be done at certain angles. It's actually nail biting as you don't want to scratch your car or our sisters car. There was a Tesco delivery later in the afternoon which did block to road and cars were honking loudly in frustration. My husband and brother in law worked as hard as they could to unload the Tesco delivery quickly, however the held up cars were quite abusive. The neighbour directly opposite had a cone on his drive so it made it harder to navigate the cars. Personally I think that the picture of the drive should be removed as it's actually misleading. There is a problem with access. All my comments are directed to parking as everything else was fabulous.

"Just back from two fabulous weeks at Old Mill Cottage (4th to 18th Sept 2021)."
We found the cottage very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. The quality of the furnishings and equipment is very high and you instantly get the impression that the landlords are very caring and really want you to enjoy your holiday. We had a courtesy call from the landlords just to check everything was ok (which it was) which was appreciated. The little village of Crook is very quiet and peaceful and the beautiful garden is the perfect place to sit and unwind whilst watching the abundant bird life. The Sun Inn is five minutes walk and serves great food and beer with a very welcoming landlady and staff. The Cottage is well placed for the South Eastern and Central fells albeit a little drive away and easy access to Kendal and Windemere. We've stayed in many holiday cottages and this one is right up there with the best which is a credit to the landlords so many thanks to them and thanks for the welcome pack and doggie treats.. Also thanks to Sykes for making our stay so pleasurable. If plans permit we are hoping to re-book this cottage for next year and we have no hesitation in recommending Old Mill Cottage to anyone looking to stay in this area of the Lakes. Thank you Merv, Denise and Bodie, Bournemouth.

"Beautiful cottage."
Everything you could want in the cottage, not short of anything. Very clean. Really helpful owners if you need any advice. Perfect holiday.
-
"This was truly one of the beat equipped holiday cottages we have visited."
We had a wonderful week at Old Mill Cottage. The position in a quiet lane surrounded by farmland is beautiful. Coupled with the fact you are 10 mins drive from Lake Windermere made this an ideal week to unwind with the family. Thanks for a great holiday.
-
"A wonderfull cottage in a great location."
We had a great time staying in this well equiped and comfortable holiday home.
-
"Beautifully presented cottage."
Spotlessly clean. Great location. Lovely garden. It was perfect for our family of 5.
-
"We had an excellent holiday staying at Old Mill Cottage."
The house is really well equipped and spacious with a lovely outside space to relax in. The owners made contact before and during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is fab, with some nice walks straight from the door and Lake Windermere just a 10 minute drive away.
-
"Old Mill Cottage is one of the best appointed cottages we have ever stayed in."
The decor and facilities provided by the owners is excellent. The parking is tight and two vehicles would struggle. The location is superb with easy access to both Kendall and Windemere.
-
"The cottage was absolutely lovely and spotless ."
In a lovely setting and very welcoming.
-
"Absolutely could not fault the location, facilities or how the cottage appeared to "wrap itself around us""
-
"We absolutely loved our stay from the very start to the finish."
Its incredibly cosy, comfy and a real home from home. We feel we have been away for much longer than a week too. The cottage is in the lovely hamlet of Crook, walking distance to a lovely country pub, and a short driving distance to Kendal, and also the rest of the major Lake District towns and villages. The bed was very comfy, shower was great, and the cottage had all amenities you might need or want for a break away. We look forward to returning!
-
"Old Mill Cottage, Crook was just the most comfortable cosy cottage to stay in considering the storm Ciara and Dennis we had to experience!"
We even had a power cut the second morning we arrived, friendly neighbour helped together with owner contact, we would definitely return. Thank you Sykes, you have pleased us again!!
-
"A wonderful place to unwind and relax."
There was nothing more we could have wished for, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.
-

The cottage is beautiful homely nothing as been missed everything you could possibly need Clean great location We will return
-
"Lovely cottage everything included for a relaxing home from home holiday."
Would stay again.
-
"This was our second visit to Old Mill Cottage as we enjoyed it so much the first time."
The cottage is clean, comfortable, cosy and very well equipped. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The cottage is in a very peaceful location but is well placed for visiting the South Lakes and there is a dog friendly pub within walking distance. Definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in.
-
"An very nice property in a good location, provided every comfort you could wish for, would certainly stay there again."
Excellent food pub in easy walking distance.
-
"A beautiful cottage in such a quiet and peaceful location."
-
"4 older ladies and 2 dogs borrowed your cottage for a "friends away" week in early October."
We couldn't have wished for better facilities or comfort. Half way between Kendal and Windermere it was ideally placed for us, a quick 6 mile run in either direction. The Sun Inn round the corner made really delicious meals. The village of Staveley 2 picturesque miles away came in handy for forgotten logs, wine, and paracetamol .... not necessarily in that order, and the field at the back of the house was an early morning treat for the dogs if a bit on the boggy side due to all the rain, perhaps you could organise some sunshine next time for us? The soggy weather was an excuse for a roaring fire on an evening, and sometimes in an afternoon too.. We wanted for nothing and we wish you many more years of doing business with Sykes as we would like very much to come again. A heartfelt thank you from Sue Daphne Gill and Bev.
-
"Beautiful cottage in excellent location."
Well equipped and fully dog friendly.
-
"Beautiful cottage, was even better in the flesh than the photographs on the website, we were in love with the place the moment we stepped through the door!"
We've used Sykes Cottages a few times now and have never been let down with any of the cottages, keep up the good work.
-

Lovely Cottage in a lovely part of the UK Old Mill Cottage is set in a beautiful rural location and the humans and the dogs were all made very welcome Equipped to the highest level with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday
-
"Lovely roomy cottage which felt like home from home."
Nice little touches such as a basket with dog treats. Gifts of Kendal Mint Cake and shortbread were appreciated and a bunch of flowers from the garden on display in the dining room. Good peaceful location yet just 10 minutes to Kendal and the Lakes. Plenty of good places to eat locally. The garden was a delight .. so many birds and we filled the bird feeders twice during our weeks stay.
-
"We have never stayed in such a beautiful cottage, such attention to every detail!"
-
"Booking was easy and no problems."
Cottage was exceptional and exceeded our expectations and a real credit to the owners. A great location for walking from the doorstep and a short drive to Kendal for provisions and a fantastic base to explore the Lakes and all that it has to offer. Garden was superb and ideal for relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for more and had a fantastic week. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
-
"The cottage was fantastic and exceeded expectations."
Everything was there we needed, lots of information, comfortable, beautiful garden and perfect location.
-
"Probably the nicest cottage I have ever stayed in, in a peaceful hamlet, in glorious countryside near Windermere."
-
"Lovely quirky cottage."
Lots of walks from the door into countryside. Weather was superb and we were outdoors most of the week.
-
"Great location, comfortable and relaxing."
Dog friendly and able to use the garden to sit, eat and drink. Everything u needed was in the cottage. The little touches the owners did was lovely especially the dog basket which was left for our use.
-
"What a find!"
The cottage has been tastefully restored, keeping some original features that makes you want to look into the history of the mill. Everything is of high quality. The beds and bedding are fantastic. Everything is pretty and great attention to detail. On each bed was Kendal mint cake gift, and a welcome pack for humans and 4 legged friends in the kitchen. The cottage was spotlessly clean on our arrival and we wanted for nothing. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, pots pans etc. I often find this lacking in other holiday lets, and we like to cook fresh food. I can’t wait to return
-
"Old Mill Cottage is beautiful, warm and cosy and the perfect retreat for myself, my husband our little boy Harvey and of course our two dogs Simba and Chester."
We were made to feel so welcome with complimentary biscuits for all, towels etc for muddy paws, Kendal mint cake to sample! We found the cottage a great base for visiting all the lakes attractions as we celebrated our son’s second birthday during our stay. Everything we needed to make it feel like a home from home. We didn’t want to leave. Thanks for a lovely week!
-
"Everything went very smoothly, the cottage was well equipped and cosy."
-
"Certainly a rare find was this gem of a property in the Lake District!"
Personally I feel the photos presented on the website looked “ok” hence the reason we booked however upon our arrival we were positively delighted with this very fabulous cute, cosy and immaculate property Photos on the website certainly don’t do it justice! My husband,my three teenage boys and my elderly mum and our dog just loved every aspect of this holiday home Incredibly well laid out with a fabulous cosy log fire in the lounge area- just perfect for relaxing with a glass or two after a long walk Certainly much larger than we first envisaged The kitchen was very well designed and impressive space with everything you need to hand and yet still retaining that snug cottage feel and look Plenty of choice of bedrooms and every space designed and presented with style. Both bathrooms were of an equally high standard and design Certainly a property that is very much loved and highly maintained by its owners - credit to them
-
"Lovely property, well located as a base for Windermere, Kendal etc."
Very well equipped property where the owners have really capitalised on the original features and complemented them with lovely decor, pictures etc. The kitchen/utility rooms were particularly well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The main living room was spacious yet cosy, with the added ambience of the woodburner. Would definitely recommend.
-
"We had a lovely, relaxing holiday in Old Mill Cottage."
The cottage is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It has a very homely feel and the owners have gone to the trouble of providing a lot of little extras: dog treats and towels for muddy paws, toiletries, basic kitchen provisions to start the holiday off and more besides. The wood burner is very welcome for cold autumn nights and very easy to use. The furniture is very comfortable and perfect for sitting watching the many birds that visit the garden. The bedrooms are lovely with very comfortable beds and quality bed linen. One of the best cottages we have stayed in.
