About Crook Lodge

This superb lodge is situated a 15 minute stroll from the historic village of Cartmel, at the top of the exclusive Pastures lodge park in a slightly elevated position towards the boundary of this 26 acre park with woodland and glade, thus affording extra outdoor space and privacy. Immaculately-presented in a quality contemporary style, this spacious lodge has open plan living with patio doors from the living area and a bedroom that opens on to the spacious elevated decking screened by glass with patio furniture and hot tub.

On entering the lodge there is a vestibule with seating area and the washer/dryer which leads into the open plan living space with a large comfortable leather settee and woodburner, perfect to relax in front of on those chillier evenings. When warmer, open the patio doors and step onto the decking perhaps for an alfresco meal or drink and listen to the sound of bird song.

The well-equipped stylish kitchen has integral appliances, granite surfaces and has a very useful wine chiller. Stepping into the spacious bedroom there are also patio doors leading to the private decking and the en-suite bathroom has a bath with rain shower over and with beautiful contemporary fixtures and fittings.

The lodge also benefits from a hot tub allowing guests to relax after a hard day exploring the local area. Picturesque Cartmel is just three quarters of a mile away with its 12th century priory, and interesting independent shops and, of course, its eateries and pubs, including the infamous L'enclume restaurant together with a great selection of other restaurants.

There is also the racecourse which holds meets during the summer months when the whole village is open, so a fantastic day out is within walking distance. Locally, there is Newby Bridge, which is at the southerly tip of Windermere, where you can take a boat cruise and view the stunning lakeland scenery on route to Bowness or Ambleside.

Crook Lodge Reviews

Lovely comfortable and warm lodge would benefit from a small set of drawers in the bedroom but not a big problem. Hot tub worked well lovely and warm.

Just returned from a stay at the lodge. This is the 4th time we have stayed at the park. We normally stay in the adjoining property shepherds lodge. The property was lovely and we loved our stay as always. The only thing I would say is there were no cushions on the sofa which in the pictures there are cushions. Also could hear the doors banging from next door which we have not heard when we have stayed next door. Also the hot tub cover at both properties is incredibly heavy and difficult to get back on and it rained every night we were there and a cover over the hot tub would be beneficial. We will definitely be returning as we love the area.

On arrival we found the property extremely clean and tidy Everything you needed was provided for so I was happy with the accommodation however the hot tub had not been cleaned and the water was cloudy and the rim of the hot tub was filthy I reported this and the maintenance man came out to it

Gerard

Nice and quiet away from it all able to chill. Facilities good really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely lovely. Ideal location. Private and sheltered. You can watch the wildlife in the trees while in the hottub. Short walk down the countey road to Cartmel. Had everything you needed. Will be booking again. We booked this due to the place previous was horrible and needed to find somewhere else fast and dropped on here. So glad we did.

What a beautiful location, so peaceful . The lodge was in a perfect spot . We walked into Cartmel & one day saw a deer as we walked back into The Pastures. It was so central for visiting other villages & towns . We have had a lovely relaxing time and enjoyed the hot tub as a bonus. We will be back as there is so much more to see . We would thoroughly recommend Crook Lodge if you need a recharge as you go into the lodge and simply relax .

Denise

Loved it very spacious for 2 all mod cons, clean and modern. Our only complaint is the hot tub kept coming on throughout the night and woke us up quite a few times but would not put us off booking again.

Lodge was in a lovely quiet spot and close to the beautiful village of Cartmel . It was one of the best equipped lodges we have stayed in .The kitchen had everything you needed even plastic wine glasses to use outside! The living room was homely and the sofa was comfortable.The wood burner was fantastic . It was even set up ready just to light for the evening and there was ample kindling and logs . The only issue was with the oven . it look 45 mins to warm up and cooked very slowly even on the highest heat The fan inside looked like it wasnt working and we left a note to inform the owners when we left The lodge was back to back with another lodge and you could hear some noise as people were shutting doors , their washing machine spinning etc but not enough to put us off staying again . The bed and pillows were super comfy and we slept well . The only thing that was missing was a hair dryer or a mention in the listing that one wasnt supplied Thank you for relaxing stay !

We had a great time. The lodge was in superb condition throughout. Our only note was the pillows were a bit thin but thats personal preference. Also we dont know if you are aware but there is a wasp nest in the roof just above where the TV is. We had one or two fly in but thats no big deal! Overall very very happy with our stay!

Lovely lodge in such a lovely spot. Great base to explore from & so close you can walk into Cartmel, although very dark country lanes you need a torch. Could do with more cushions on the sofa but easily made do with pillows. Lovely log burning fire, kitchen well equipped & cute hot tub Lovely & warm everythinh you need, even washer, dryer, iron & ironing board. Definitely would come back here.

Phillip

Much better than the adjoining property, cleanliness was acceptable but issues with TV reception on last night was awful. Sofa not the most comfortable and we actually used the outside furniture as it was more comfortable We enjoyed the stay and would consider another visit unlike the attached property

We have stayed in Crook Lodge on several occasions, after our visit in October I telephoned Sykes with some observations regarding some maintenance. On our arrival last week some of the things were the same!! I feel the lodge is starting to look quite tired nearly all the crockery has chips in, there is still no plug to the kitchen sink nor is there a washing up bowl, the lights in the bathroom mirror do not work and although we were not in the lodge that often the tv was next to useless no signal at all most of the time!! When you pay these prices, things should be spot on. We were quite disappointed overall

Stephen

Great place to stay. Would be nice to have a few staples in kitchen like oil for cooking, more than one roll of toilet paper, etc Would've also been great to have a cover of some sort over the hot tub whe it rains. Overall, a very nice place to stay!

Jackie

More light needed by the hot tub. .maybe on the wooden posts it seemed very dark. That's my only criticism otherwise excellent stay....

Had a lovely 5 night stay here, the place was clean, tidy and has everything you needed inside. Only downsides were the duevet had stains on it, when we arrived the fridge tray on the door was partly broken and obviously it broke fully on us. It was also made to look like it was one lodge untill we got there and it was semi detached which should be made more obvious because the last coulple of days we had some very noisy neighbours walking and running around the lodge! One of the pictures showed infront of the lodge there were trees they have now gone and there are two lodges positioned infront of you which is abit miss leading. It should also be made more aware that you are on a site with many lodges on not just this one. But all in all it was a very relaxing and nice stay.

Sumbal

It was a lovely cottage, very homely. And the kitchen was very well equipped.

We have stayed in Crook Lodge several times and it is always home from home. Perfect spot for a relaxing holiday, hot tub is an added bonus. Booked to stay again next year

Lovely lodge and quite site could not fault in anyway

Crook lodge Water didnt work when we showed up only just trickled out and when it was turned on at the source it leaked for over a day under the cabin Hot tub isnt full size only a small tub very very cozy for two people Key lock was very tough to open Water temp in shower was cold most of the time No privacy to hot tub need a little fence or some trees for privacy everyone could see us in the open walking dogs past Boiler made a loud knocking sound randomly all the time kept me awake But over all for the price of the place of a few things got fixed then it was mint to be honest

Only bedroom patio door opened with keys. The kettle switch was broken on arrival so couldnt be used. No kidding or firewood. On opening the main patio doors found a cigarette half burnt in the door frame.

Kellie

Absolutely beautiful property. Clean, tidy, well equipped and comfortable. We really enjoyed our get away and would come again. Our only moan was the hot tub was overlooked. We could see the road and the lodge next door and vise versa. Some form of fencing or cover would be good to make it more private and not so looked over by others. Thankyou

We enjoyed our stay. There was no hair drier provided which is something most people assume is standard these days and I note a previous comment had mentioned this and you did say you would rectify this.

I booked this lodge to celebrate our anniversary. On arrival we were very impressed with the overall space and location of the lodge. However my partner went to have a bath and the water was tepid and not hot enough to make a bath. I booked here knowing it had a bath as my partner struggles to regulate her temperature especially once she has got cold. After a day hiking needed a bath to heat her up hence why I booked a property with a bath it was luke warm at best even though the shower and water coming from the sinks was hot. We called the plumber but he said he was unable to do anything this is false advertising and I'm extremely disappointed in this. The lodge was very dirty and the floors have not been mopped. The lodge itself is well located and quiet. The hot tub is a nice addition to the property. The outside decking area is lovely but cushions would be a welcome addition yo the outside furniture this area including table and decking was also very dirty considering check out is so early I would expect much higher cleaning standards. With it being our anniversary we were celebrating with a bottle of champagne there were no champagne flutes and only one wine glass very poor considering this is a place recommended for couples. We enjoyed our stay but its a shame these things have left us feeling frustrated especially considering the price we paid. A hair dryer would also be a good addition to the property..

Philip

Really enjoyed staying at the Lodge for a second time. The Lodge is spotlessly clean and highly functional. Very comfortable stay and enjoyed the hot tub and privacy. The Lodge is on a secluded spot on the park. The only slight downside is the height of the trees opposite the decking area. The trees block the evening sun. Would it be possible for the estate to trim the height of the trees? Lovely stay.

Rajesh

We absolutely loved it and most certainly stay there again. Just couple of things, we didnt find cleanliness to high standards. There were plenty of cobwebs and floor was bit dusty. Also be much better if checkout time was bit later, about 10 1030. Other than that? Awesome

In the past I have had issues with the companies that run holiday accommodations, but it was nice seeing that everything that attracted us to this property was correct, in excellent condition and true to the descriptiion of the facilities. Okay we had problems at first with the TV but we overcome that and in my opinion we didn't travel to watch the idiot box. Would have no problems booking this again.

Michele

The lodge was lovely, had a really nice break found everything that was needed, the little box of washing up liquid and sponge was a massive help as we didnt even think of taking any. The hot tub was also a massive god send after all that walking.

We had the most amazing week away. 100 worth the money as its in the perfect location, only 10 mins away from any takeaway and 40 mins from windermere. We would come back in a heartbeat. Only thing we found although it wasnt a problem for us as our next door neighbours were so considerate of us but the property is listed as detached, however it is very much semi detached it is private so we didnt find this an issue. The wifi isnt the best either and the tv hasnt got options of netflix or anything like that, so i wouldnt suggest bringing your own laptop where you can watch your favourite shows. Despite all of this we honestly had the best week away and it was made so nice because we had a lovely lodge to come back to from a busy day, especially the hot tub was the best perfect treat. Overall we are planning on looking to book again next year as it was honestly so perfect.

Sandra

We had a really nice relaxing stay, my husband and I work for NHS and needed a break and this was just what we needed every thing was high spec and clean nice log burner to cuddle up at night , bed was comfy would just say pillows too soft for us but that said most people would like the squishy pillows . Hot tub was excellent so hot perfect for a January evening we would definitely book crook lodge again it was at the end of the park which is perfect very private

The property was good, it was dirty on the decking, and the windows were dirty and had loads of cobwebs. The heating never went on in the morning the place was absolutely freezing. Apart from that the cabin was fantastic

We stayed in this lovely lodge for Christmas. It's warm, cosy and comfortable and in a very peaceful location, currently being the last lodge in the park. It was a short walk to the interesting shops and pubs in Cartmel and also a fairly easy walk to Grange over Sands. The hot tub and log burner were lovely to have. Unlike some other reviewer, we found the bed and seatee very comfortable and our next door neighbours were very quiet. The only problems that we found, were that it was a little difficult to find in the dark, the front door was a bit difficult to lock and unlock and the bath water wouldn't get hot enough to have a relaxing bath, but we did have the hot tub so it didn't matter much. All in all the lodge is great.

The property was well equipped. Warm just right for a stay hot tub very good alovely cabin in a good location .It could do with a few snags attending to .Door at the back would not open inside doors handles loose two hobs not working light bulbs missing .This did not spoil our stay which i would recommend would stay again

On the whole we enjoyed our stay but were let down by a few minor issues, these included cleanliness of the property cobwebs in the ceilings, dust and dirt, plus stains on pillows and duvet. Based on the early checkout and late check in we would expect an immaculate property. Secondly, some of the facilities are not great the broom is broken and sliced my hand when trying to use, the hoover isnt great, one of the hobs didnt work, the clock didnt work and some lights didnt work. Lastly, and this is something that is not Sykes fault, but our neighbours were very, very loud and kept us up most nights unfortunately. Aside from this, the accommodation is good, is in a great location and the bed is probably one of the comfiest Ive stayed on! The hot tub is also immaculate and we made use of it every day during our stay. We would visit again but would hope that the mentioned points and attention to detail when managing the property are improved on.

Location was brilliant. We would cycle into cartmel and it would only about 5 minutes. The plot where lodge is on is very private and quiet. Perfect for chilling out in the hot tub. Segway tour in Cartmel was good fun. Loved Unsworths yard brewery in Cartmel as it had a nice little court yard and the pizzas were delicious. Just dont order the Bramble cocktail as it was tasteless. Would recommend booking pub meals or restaurants as it was busy and one night we struggled for somewhere to eat. The Cavendish Arms is a lovely pub with delicious food definitely recommend. Really friendly staff too.

Cleanliness wasn't great, had to get brush and vacuum out to remove cobwebs in lounge. Bedroom and bathroom corners. Similar issue outside upon entering which instantly gave poor impression upon entering. Hot water was below heat expectation for showering and bath. Although furniture, kitchen facilities and hottub were to ab acceptable standard. Just felt with significant price increase for these properties that overall cleanliness should be much better. Grounds and peaceful area was pleasant, but for me it's unlikely I'd return here especially if prices continue to increase.
