We booked Crook Lodge for a mini moon trip away to the Lakes - what a good choice that was! The lodge is so lovely and well presented, it has everything you could possibly need for a weekend or week stay. The kitchen is very well equipped to be able to cook for yourselves and came with a little cleaning pack of tea towel, dishwasher tablets, cloth, sponge and washing up liquid. Even has a washing machine and tumble dryer if needed! There was logs and kindling left for us to be able to use the log burner, but as mentioned in the previous review, the central heating is fantastically efficient! The bedroom and bathroom were a great size and also very nice, for me the only comment would be to take your own pillow if you’re not a fan of very soft ones. The hot tub is a small 2 person size, but perfectly adequate for a 2 person lodge. Would recommend taking your own towels for using the hot tub as towels in the lodge are only provided for bathroom/showering. A pair of flip flops is also a good recommendation for getting to and from the hot tub across the deck. Overall a fantastic and very relaxing stay, would definitely recommend!

Lodge was secluded and very private beautifully presented inside and out I could live there all year round !

Mr Johnson, September 2020

Lovely location and very quiet and peaceful.. Hot tub very very good and not overlooked by any other lodges. The lodge was very well equipped and surprisingly spacious. Easy walking distance to 2 villages. Although semi detached we hardly heard anything from the adjoining lodge. The only thing I'd recommend would be a few more mugs.

Mr Kirk, September 2020

We arrived at the cottage and it was really clean which put us at ease given the current pandemic.. Although we weren’t provided with any soap to wash our hands with or any toilet roll so first thing was to go to the shop to buy some for the week, very disappointed as something so simple should’ve been provided. We also were not given any matches to light the fire with so we ended up just using the heating, luckily during our stay it wasn’t too cold so it didn’t bother us! There wasn’t adequate hot water to run a bath or have a proper shower - I would say lukewarm water, if it wasn’t for the hot tub it wouldn’t have been great after a long day of walking! We tried to ring skyes everyday but couldn’t get through to anyone to try and fix these issues which was very disappointing! Given the changes to our arrival and departure times we would’ve appreciated something such as a bottle of wine or chocolate/coffee etc just to make up for the last minute changes, other places we’ve stayed have provided these and it’s a very nice touch! I would come and visit again if these issues were amended but a note to self to bring toilet roll.

There was a few issues with the Lodge.. Overall it was ok. But what we expected for what we paid was a much higher standard. For example the bath hot tap we could only get luke warm water. Site maintenance tried to fix it but couldn't so they suggested we use the shower to fill the bath. Disappointed at the size of the hot tub found it quite cramped as I am quite tall. Rubbish collection was only once, maybe recycling bins would help for glass, paper, etc. A welcome pack would have been a nice touch, milk in the fridge etc. (we always get one with Hoseasons) We usually book a lodge with a hot tub with Hoseasons and never had any problems with their holidays. But we would thought we would give your company a try and see if you could match up to Hoseasons standard, but sadly your firm didn't match their standard, so we will not re book with sykes holiday's.

Mr Hill, July 2020

Absolutely loved our stay and especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of each day, following sight seeing trips.. The hot tub was tucked away nicely so that you're not overlooked and the lodge was fully equipped.

Mrs Brown, July 2020

March 2020

Perfect for a few nights away.. Hot tub was very private and was drained and cleaned every day we were there. The lodge is at the very back of the park so nice and peaceful, will definitely be re booking.

Mr Maltby, March 2020

February 2020

Me and my newly pregnant girlfriend really enjoyed our stay here, it was lovely and had everything we could ask for.. Really nice lodge, great facilities and was spotless when we arrived. The only things I could think of for feedback is that we did not have a remote for the freesat box, and we could have done with some kindling and some extra logs for the log burner.

Mr Jones, February 2020

Beautiful home hub to experience the Lake District from

Extremely happy with our holiday, lodge was super clean and warm.. Our water stopped working but maintenance were quick to fix it and im sure it isnt a common issue. Would highly recommend.

Mr Mcburney-bacon, December 2019

A beautiful, spotless lodge with everything you could wish for and more! We wouldn't hesitate in going back. Highly recommend.

Mrs Hart, October 2019

August 2019

We had a great stay at Crook Lodge.. It was lovely to see the wildlife which included squirrel, deer and various birds. It is not mentioned anywhere about the high standards of the hot tub. It is drained after every stay. It is also tested every day during your stay. It is private and not overlooked. We do however recommend that you take extra towels for the hot tub. The bed is so comfortable you can guarantee a great night sleep. Well equipped, you shouldn't want for anything. There was one downside though that it is adjoining to another lodge and unfortunately our neighbours were a little noisy into the early hours.

Mr Rowlinson, August 2019

Booked crook lodge to celebrate my partners 30th birthday and could not be happier with choosing this lodge ! ! Great location, very private, well equipped !! Will definitely be looking to book it again !!

Mr Hopkins

April 2019

Absolutely fantastic, loved every minute in the lodge

Miss Howard

Everything was perfect and well exceeded myself and my partners expectations.. The lodge was beautiful and had everything that we needed, We thought the lodge was perfectly positioned, much more private than some of the other lodges nearby. We spent every night in the hot tub, just what you need after a day out exploring this beautiful part of the country. Would highly recommend.

Miss Jones

February 2019

Crook Lodge was absolutely lovely.. The location was great and the facilities excellent. The hot tub, wine cooler and wood burner (which we didn’t need due to glorious weather!) were luxurious extra touches and the bathroom was hotel standard. The Wi-fi signal was by far the best we have had at similar locations. My only suggestions for improvement would be a mirror in the bedroom and a toilet roll in the bathroom when guests arrive. We would love to stay again!

Mr Barnes

January 2019

Beautiful lodge which is homely from the minute you walk in.. Facilities within are perfect and are easy to use. The only minor problem we had was the fire alarm went off every time you opened a hot oven. Nevertheless, it is good to know it works. A good waft with a pillow seemed to do the trick. Would highly recommend and hopefully will be back in the future. Exceeds looks on photos.

Loved this little weekend break in this lodge.. And for those that whinged about there not being enough toilet roll, it costs a couple of pounds to take your own. The lodge itself had everything u would need, literally going from home to Home, oven, microwave, kettle. Even had sachets Of hot choc, tea, coffee, milk. Beds were very comfortable, clean, fresh towels, bathroom was spotless. Couldn’t fault the place. Even had washing up liquid, cleaning cloths, washing machine. The hot tub was the perfect thing after a long day of walking and exploring. Definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Miss Angell

What a beautiful place, stayed here at Crook Lodge, did not want to leave, cannot say anything bad about this lodge, it was perfect in so many ways, had an amazing time, will be back, perfect location, loved every minute of it..

Mr Cripps

August 2018

We could have done with more towels.. There also was a power cut one night for 6 hours. This meant all the appliances bleeped all night causing a sleepless night. There was no comment or apologies from the management which was disappointing.

Mr Griffiths

The visit to Crook Lodge was a nice relaxing break for my wife and I.. The lodge was so cute as it is purely designed for two, table chairs, hot tub etc. Immaculately clean well equipped all modern kitchen and bathroom added to the joy we felt upon entering the lodge. This is our second stay with Sykes, having stayed in a big family lodge with our family previously. Both times we have been provided with exactly what we wanted. The booking and contact from Sykes is excellent. The only small issue is that maybe if the lodge was ready earlier as I believe it was we could have been notified instead of waiting until 1500hrs, because as check out is 10am, that is quite a bit of time lost. When the lodge next door was vacated it was cleaned by midday.

Mr Norton

July 2018

Lovely location.. The photos aren’t entirely accurate, it should be clearer that the cabin is ‘semi detached’. The info binder inside the cabin needs updating, there was no fan in the middle of a heatwave and there was only half a roll of toilet paper and 2 towels each. I’d expect more for the price.

Mr Heaton

This lodge was perfect for a relaxing couple of days away.. I will defiantly be returning.

Mrs Allmark

Great location if chilling out and relaxation is required

Miss Brown

June 2018

We arrived on Friday and was really pleased with the lodge, superbly stocked and elavated location was great.. Although you are aware of other lodges around you it feels secluded, being tucked away at the very top of the park. The hot tub was fantastic, only down side was the noise it made throuout the night! Although it did not disturb us, light sleepers may be affected.

Mr Clark

April 2018

Had an enjoyable and relaxing stay at crooks lodge using all the facilities it has.. Couldn’t of asked for much more. In a really nice and pleasant area of cartmel with the shops a walk or drive away. Me and my partner will be coming back in the future

Mr Bostock

March 2018

Really nice cottage but the mattress was so soft it may have not been there.. So much so we left a day early as we were there for a week. Manual made reference to fire lighters and kindling of which there were non, nor anything to light it with. Not a major issue as the local shop sold them. We missed the one liner advising the place is a semi detached unit, as the photos are deceiving, it looks like one detached unit. And we had Mr and Mrs door slammer next door. Nice and clean digs however and we were allowed in an hour early as the cleaners were done. Cartel is a lovely village which provided a good base for exploring the South lake district. Generally speaking the digs were good but the mattress issue would prevent me booking again.

Miss Mainwaring

Fab holiday, great lodge.. A few extra logs/kindling would have been great as we loved the fire. Having a salt and pepper pot and extra toilet roll would also be helpful :) Apart from that, place was lovely and had everything else we needed. Very relaxing place and we loved the hot tub! Fab location as only 20 mins walk into cartmel and 10 min drive into centre of Grange over sands and Holker Hall. Would definitely come again and will be recommending

Mr Henry

This is one of the nicest cabins I have ever stayed in.. Very clean almost new very enjoyable

Mr Truslove

This was a very well equipped, well maintained and well positioned cabin.. Just a short drive from the lakes through stunning scenery and a short walk/drive to cartmel which is home to fantastic pubs, restaurants and independent farm shops! Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Miss Chandler

Stunning location, easy to find, worth a half hour journey to Windermere which again is beautiful.. Had a fantastic weekend as a present for my 21st birthday!

Mr Rozdolskyj

Perfect!!!

A Holiday Lettings verified reviewer

The 5 hours drive from london was soo worth it.. I was a little worried about the cleanliness before arriving but i must say, IT WAS SPOTLESS. Its was peaceful and quiet, i will definitely be coming back.

Just back from a lovely weekend at crook lodge, would highly recommend this lodge and area to anyone! Cartmel is a short walk away, where there is local pubs, restaurants, a local shop (where sticky toffee comes from originally- a MUST!!!) etc..!!! (If walking I would highly recommend a good torch!!) Windermere is also very easy to get to from the lodge (we went by car!). As well as every other place! The lodge itself is very private, it was spotless and very well equipped. There was logs, paper and kindling left for us for the log burner (which was very cozy in the colder evenings), however the lodge itself had great central heating too! The hot tub is fab, lovely to relax in, we were however dissapointed there wasn’t a separate towel or robe for this! We would 100% book here again! Thanks Rozzer and rara
