About this property
Crooklands Cottage is a wonderful, spacious, detached cottage located in Crooklands, Cumbria. With five bedrooms and open-plan living spaces, the cottage suits a large family or group gathering for contemporary comforts, with the wilds of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales nearby. Guests have access to the neighbouring hotel car park with sufficient space for five cars, before lugging your bags into Crooklands Cottage. The ground floor offers plenty of space to catch up with loved ones or take some time to yourself; each room is beautifully finished with fantastic amenities to suit those who prefer high-quality over rustic and traditional. With plenty of seating to choose from, the smart and well-appointed kitchen/diner features two electric ovens and a hob, microwave and an American-style fridge/freezer to stock up on your favourite foods for your stay. Keep your holiday gear fresh in the next-door utility with a basin, washing machine and tumble dryer for your convenience. Set the large dining table and plan the next day's adventures over a delicious home-cooked meal, before retiring to one of two sitting rooms. Gather for a film night in the first sitting room with plush seating and a large Smart TV, whilst the second sitting room offers another Smart TV, Playstation and pool table for a livelier evening. Completing the ground floor, a cloakroom with basin, heated towel rail and WC is perfect to quickly freshen up before venturing out the door. Each guest has a delightful space to relax and wake up in a bright and airy setting to start the day; five super-king-size bedrooms lie upstairs, one of which has a snug sitting area set under a skylight and an en-suite shower room with underfloor heating, whilst a second offers woodland views from a Juliet balcony, en-suite shower room with underfloor heating, and a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The fabulous family bathroom also boasts underfloor heating for added comfort whilst you step under the Monsoon shower head or take a relaxing bubble bath, before wrapping yourself in a towel fresh off the heated towel rail. Admire this picturesque stone cottage from the enclosed, rear garden where you can dine alfresco on the patio or spread a picnic blanket on the lawn for lunch in the sunshine. As the night grows cooler, step through the patio doors into the warmth of the sitting room or bring your bathing suits for an evening in the hot tub under the stars. For your self-catering holiday, Crooklands Cottage is nearby to a garage with a shop for the essentials, whilst just next door a hotel and pub offer delicious meals and well-deserved pints after trekking through the countryside. The Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales rest either side of Crooklands to experience the best of Northern England's spectacular landscapes for walking, hiking, climbing or cycling. Nearby towns include the small market town of Milnthorpe with a market square of inviting shops and charming eateries, a great base before exploring Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with scenic trails and plenty of wildlife. The bustling town of Kendal sits north of Crooklands Cottage with picturesque high streets, traditional pubs and plenty of history and heritage in the ruins of Kendal Castle and Quaker Tapestry Museum. For stunning lakeside views and plenty of walking tours into the surrounding countryside, journey to the popular Windermere for boat tours across the picture-perfect lake, stop for lunch in a quaint tearoom or climb Orrest Head for sweeping views across breath-taking countryside. Whether it's to celebrate a special occasion or for quality time with loved ones, choose Crooklands Cottage for your holiday home.
Crooklands is located in the middle of the three towns of Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale and Milnthorpe. It has a pub/hotel and is within walking distance of the Lancaster Canal.

10 of us went and were blown away by how stunning the property was - it has everything you need to an incredibly high standard. I didnt realise it was right next to a little river which made sitting outside in the hotub even more relaxing. Although you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere (which is exactly what we wanted) you're still close enough to amenities and Kendal and Windemere. We booked into the restaurant at Crooklands Hotel on night too and it was delicious. We came away feeling refreshed after a wholesome weekend.
