"We booked Crooklands due to the location and proximity for golf courses and it was perfect in that respect."
The positives are it is cosy and warm (logs provided), dedicated parking, great shower, lovely riverside setting and has wifi. Sadly the cottage did not meet our usual expectations as it felt unloved, tired and some basic things we would have expected were missing or broken, with a little bit of attention the cottage could be much more appealing and we would have considered rebooking due to location. We normally thoroughly clean anywhere we have stayed prior to leaving as well as during our stay, but no cleaning products were provided and the hoover was broken - as was the tumble drier. The small tv could do with an upgrade as it is just basic channels only. There is a lovely log fire but no matches, no bin bags, no dishcloth (found 2 yellowed pre used ones at the back of the cupboard - yuck), no cleaning products, no welcome pack, no games provided. The front door was dirty and covered in spiders nests, my husband swept it all- these things only take a couple of minutes. Several items of cooking equipment were unclean and needed washing prior to using. The main issue is the bedroom walls (curtains and lamps) had significant black mould - again we would have cleaned but no products provided - a dehumidifier would help? It’s a shame, with some love and attention, a thorough deep clean, a paint refresh and a few touches it could be really lovely.

"Lovely place to stay, great location too!"
The beds were super comfy and the woodbury was a real treat! Fantastic large shower in spacious bathroom!

"Was a lovely stay."
Lovely and clean apartment. Gated area to keep our dog in. Everything you need plus more. Will definitely be booking this apartment again. Great area to visit parts of the Lake District and plenty of places except dogs as well which is a definite for us. Lesley Brian and Charlie the lab xx

"Well worth a visit lovely area"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this place."
Every thing was fantastic. I will highly recommend this place and will definitely like to stay here in my next holidays.
-
"The cottage was lovely , beds v comfy and plenty of info available in the guest book."
The only small suggestion concerns the bathroom as it would have helped to to have more areas to hang towels/clothes whilst showering and to have more storage for wash bags etc.
-
"We had a great week at 3 Crooklands."
. the apartment was clean and well equipped. Location was good and area quiet. Our children liked the stream at the back and the pub down the road may be appealing to some. All in all a great week in a comfortable apartment.
-
"The parking for the property is to far away for a disabled property."
The property needs a deep clean behind bed dirty drains smelly cobwebs on light curtains in bed room linners dirty. Chair's no good for disabled person to low. No where in shower to put toiletries . Kitchen was well equipped and wood burner was good
-
"Very comfortable stay with everything we needed."
We had a great holiday and we’re out every day a great base to see lots of places
-
"Really lovely, clean, well equipped cottage."
My son has a disability and he could easily access everything. Particularly loved listening to the beck and watching the ducks. Would highly recommend.
-
"Amazing cottage, absolutely spotless, had everything we needed."
Beautiful setting, close to so many lovely places,We are hoping to go back and rent out all 3 apartments.
-
"The apartment was clean & well equipped."
We were met by Gill, the Manager, who was very helpful & friendly. The outside area is very well maintained & has an enclosed patio area, which is great if you have a dog.
-
"Fantastic little flat, in a great position to visit lots of tourist attractions."
It is clean and comfortable and like a home from home, with everything you would need for cooking, baking, washing, ironing etc. There is a lovely wood burner in the lounge, we didn't get to use this as weather was good and flat was nice and warm. It has a great secure outdoor space at the front for sitting outside in the sun with space for kids or pets and has a fantastic shower room, which could do with a little touch up only because of the condensation. The only area we didn't use was the sitting area beside the river as access down to this is wooden steps and there were lots of midge's. I would definitely recommend this flat for staying and we would definitely return again.
-
"Location was great and a lovely apartment inside & out."
Modern open plan kitchen, dining & living room fenced patio and shared garden. Also to the rear of the property are steps down to a balcony next to the river. Definitely would stay again.
-
"The owner needs to replace the crockery as at least 25 percent of it was cracked,also a hoover that actually hoovers up dog hair off the carpet would be good or even just a hard broom."
We couldn’t leave the property in a clean condition like we were asked too due to the lack of a hoover.The property was located in a ideal spot for sight seeing in the area.The hotel food was lovely.
-
"Had a wonderful time very quiet but relaxing."
Neighbours helpful and friendly. Not much around but short journeys to lovely restaurants. Unfortunately Crooklands Hotel was open but not doing food due to COVID restrictions. Definitely would go again.
-
"A warm and cosy apartment which suited our every need and more."
Close to the places we wanted to visit without having to travel too far. There are walks to suit everyone from the inexperienced to the experienced walker. A place to definitely re-visit! Thanks, Sykes... you've pulled it out of the bag again!!!

"Lets get the one negative thing out of the way."
Arrived at Crosslands at 15.00 as per Sykes documentation for earliest arrival. Let ourselves in.All looked great. A cleaner arrived on the doorstep telling us we can not gain entry till 17.00?? Showed him my documentation and was then involved in a conversation to his office to confirm our arrival time. This conversation should not have been held in front of a Sykes client. Positive points about location and property. Everything. Right on the river. Lovely sound of running water. Small decking at the rear above the river. Field at bottom of lanre to let your 4 legged friend off for a run. Apartment was very clean and bigger than two of us needed. Ideal for four. The log burner was a God send at night. Logs readily available outside in store. Dave who lives over the lane gave us firelighters and a lighter to start the fire. Thanks Dave. We found it easy to travel around from the property. Lovel bakers just up the road. Had a great six days weather wise. Would definitely go again. Thank you

"We enjoyed our stay at Crooklands House apartment 3."
It was very comfortable and there was everything there we needed. Unfortunately we did have a problem with the heating. The radiators didn't come on when they were supposed to. We rang the site manager, she sent someone to look at the boiler settings. He came twice but didn't solve the problem. We decided to use the log burner because we were feeling cold. We found it quite difficult to get going. The logs were stored in a container outside. There was nothing to put them in, so it meant we had to go out a number of times to get more logs. If the problems were sorted out, I would recommend the apartment as a lovely place to stay.
-
"We had trouble with the water flow for a few days and the shower wouldn’t work as z consequence."
The radiator in the bathroom was too hot to even touch and there was no radiator in the double bedroom. Facilities were very basic. Fire would not stay lit.
-
"Cottage ok on first glance."
But in desperate need of TLC in certain areas,chipped plaster and dirty sills and paintwork in several areas. Strong smell of damp in second bedroom.Lovely location and handy for access to Kendal and lake district.Served a purpose with all that was needed for a breakaway.Could have real potential with the necessary work done...
-
"A little annoyed when we came back one day to find someone had come along and removed the table and chairs from the courtyard and put them in the cellar."
We were glad no one was upstairs as looking through the feedback book some had found it too noisy . We were lucky I think as both apartments upstairs were empty. Could do with a couple of diffusers. Stale smell where place had been shut up which didnt go for a few days. Otherwise no complaints. Quiet, peaceful for us. Good value.
-
"This is a brilliant cottage, this is our 2nd visit, we like the fact it seems like it's in the middle of nowhere but in fact it's in the centre of everything."
So many places are within easy reach of the place. You have Lancaster, Morecambe, Barrow, the Lakes, all to the West, but coming to the East you have the Yorkshire Dales it's a perfect location.

"We really enjoyed this rental."
It had everything we needed. The beds were supremely comfortable and the shower was good. Shame the bathroom window doesn't open. The location is great for visiting the Lake District. We felt near enough to everything we were looking for. It was also just a few minutes off the M6 so easy driving. There was a nice walk along the canal very near, and it's not far to Windermere. We were planning water sports activities there so really handy. We had a good Sunday carvery in the Crooklands hotel. We liked the garden and patio. There isn't a barbecue but we used a disposable one which was fine. It wasn't far to a supermarket (Asda) although we scheduled a delivery to turn up just after we arrived to save the hassle. We felt this rental was well priced considering the time of year, facilities and location. We'd definitely stay here again if we wanted to visit the area.
-
"Excellent location for visiting the lakes, well equipped cottage with plenty of inside and outside space."
We are booking again , says it all .
-
"We had a very good break overall."
Excellent location for exploring the area. Everything described was accurate. We'd suggest provision of more cutlery and crockery to enable dishwasher to be run full and therefore be more environmentally friendly. One plate was chipped we discovered on arrival and needed to be replaced.
-
"The cottage is well located in a quiet hamlet with a nice pub at the end of the lane."
It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is clean and tidy. It is within easy driving reach to all the lakes but without being in the tourist mayhem. We had a lovely break and would definitely go back.
-
"Lovely apartment, well appointed very comfortable and very welcoming."
We would definitely come back.
-
"Well appointed kitchen, comfy beds and perfectly placed to visit attractions."
great log burner will def return again next year. fantastic apartment.
-
"Loved our holiday at this apartment."
Everything was perfect and all our needs were met. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Ideal for our needs.
-
"Amazing cottage good location an kids loved it, will definitely be goin back,"
-
"What a little very apartment."
Just right for me and my husband and our Dog. My sister and brother in law also joined us for a couple of nights with their 9 month old. The property was spotless and contact with people who could help exceptional. It was a great location for the southern lakes and Yorkshire Dales. Neighbouring hotel was OK for a drink but not dog friendly. It would be useful to have some info on dog friendly pubs nearby. Check out the Low Sizergh Barn Farm Shop and Cafe for amazing food!!
-
"A peaceful retreat ,beautiful area lots of walks for the dog ."
Apartment very clean and had everything you could possibly need.
-
"3 Crooklands Court is great place to stay."
Spacious and well equipped. Easy access to all the lakes has to offer. Good pub round the corner which serves good food. Supermarket a ten minute drive away. We loved it.
-
"A great holiday home no complaints here"
-
"Crooklands House 3 is a spacious 2 bedroom apartment in an old converted Bobbin Mill and has been well fitted out with furniture and fittings that made our stay very comfortable."
We had a table and chairs on the sunny patio outside our door, and at the rear of the property the steps look over the river. There is an allocated undercover parking space. We enjoyed walks by the canal, visits to the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales, chips at Arnside and a pleasant meal at No 17 restaurant in Milnthorpe. There's a nice bakery and shop in Endmoor and the apartment is convenient for Kendal.
-
"Lovely apartment, well equipped."
Quiet and peaceful location.
-
"This was a lovely apartment which was ideally located to explore the Lakes, we loved every minute of it!"
It was our first visit here and we are already planning our return visit.
-
"A beautiful ground floor apartment with everything needed for 4 people."
It is also fitted out to suit disabled visitors. In the coldest week of winter we were warm and cosy and we enjoyed the woodburner stove on 3 nights. The kitchen has absolutely every piece of equipment necessary to cook your own meals and the wetroom shower was excellent. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the whole apartment was exceptionally clean. Good TV and WiFi were also appreciated. The local hotel is very nice and welcoming and the local petrol station is close by. The apartment is really handy for the M6 and we spent a lovely week touring the Lake District and Yorkshire. The snow made everywhere look really stunning. I highly recommend this apartment and the area. Thank you for a wonderful break.
-
"This is a lovely apartment set in a beautiful part of the Lake District."
It is set in a good location just off the M6 and is a good base for visiting other parts of the Lake District. The hotel situated 2 minutes walk from the apartment served fantastic food. The locals were very friendly too. The only negative part was the weather, but that’s a chance you take when booking over the new year period.

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.
