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.
