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.

    We will be back! Thank you so much.

  • Victoria

    Great house. Large comfortable and warm for this time of year. Ideal for a family gettaway. Lovely large hot tub. Good pool table and playstation. Everything you would need in the house. Nice for a walk along the river. Cosy pub next door for a drink or food. We would love to stay again sometime.
