Great location, great accommodation, great amenities… hard to beat this if you’re looking for an easily-reached middle-of-the-country option for a large group. We had 16 adults and 5 small children and we were fully accommodated by the wonderful hosts. When you’re this close to a pub, farm play park, walks literally out of your door, Oxenholme station and the M6 there’s little more you could ask for.
We love Kirkby Lonsdale and try to get there at least once a year. This was our first time at Salt pie cottage, but wont be the last. Everything has been thought of and we had a very comfortable stay. Only a minute off the Main Street, but we weren’t disturbed at all. Overall a fabulous home from home and we can’t wait to visit again.
We had previously stayed at Ruskins and absolutely loved it, so our expectations were high the second time around — and it didn’t disappoint. From the beautiful decor to the tranquil setting, it was every bit the relaxing break I had imagined. For us, Ruskins is a little gem, perfectly located with all the facilities you could ever need. Neil is a fantastic host — very welcoming and accommodating. He always checks in with a call and pops by to make sure you’re settled in comfortably. Ruskins is definitely a place I’d return to again, and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning ...more
This was our seventh stay at Box Tree Cottage, which is a truly excellent cottage in a nice village on the edge of the Dales, close to Kirkby Lonsdale. The owners, who live next door, are welcoming and very hospitable. We would usually rate the Customer Service with a 4 or 5, but this year we, and the owners, were let down by the poor servicing by the company managing the letting, with a number of supplies either very (too) low or non existent. However, when we reported this, to the management company we received a prompt response and an assurance that it was a glitch. We are including this c...more
This is such a perfect house, warm, clean, comfortable and near to everywhere we want to go. The views are stunning. No matter what time of year you visit it is wonderful. This was our third visit, fourth already planned together with the fifth. Laura is so helpful. Cannot praise this house enough it is stunning.
Fantastic, luxurious, met all are expectations. We look forward to going again in the near future. Best place we have stayed.
What a gorgeous cottage very clean lots of space yet very cosy. We wanted to relax and chill this was the perfect place. Highly recommend.
Quiet , peaceful and restful with fabulous views. Stayed here before so knew it was a very comfortable, luxurious property.
Super location, very peaceful, amazing scenery on your doorstep. Lovely accommodation add a great setting next to the beck and little waterfall. Owners very helpful especially when i rang to say i was lost , gave directions over the phone and remained on the line till i arrived (thanks!!!) Wouldn’t hesitate to re-book !!!
The barn was beautiful. The furnishings were top quality and the sofas were comfortable. The heating was effective. The bed was comfortable with really good pillows. The kitchen is really well equipped. Stephen called in to check everything was ok at the start of our stay. The neighbours on nearby farms were friendly. Great walks nearby in barbondale, dent annd farleton knott annd along the estuary at milnthorpe annd anrnside. Only a short drive to some excellent pubs and restaurants annd Kirkby Lonsdale is pretty with some nice small shops. All in all a great place to stay. We’ll be back!
Lovely cottage for a relaxing peaceful weekend away recharging the batteries! Great hot tub with views up the fell, luxury cottage , beautifully furnished, well equipped , comfortable bed, luxury walk-in rainfall shower. We have previously stayed in Mill House Cottage next door and would highly recommend these holiday properties.
Really enjoyed our stay at The Stables. Kirkby Lonsdale is two minutes away and has everything you need, good butcher, bakery and green grocer. Ideally located for outdoors exploring with an endless supply of walking and biking routes either from the door step or by car. Very well looked after by the hosts Anneka & Patrick, would really recommend without doubt.
We had a lovely relaxing break away at the lodge. Great facilities and a lovely touch with the red wine and shortbread biscuits. Looking forward to staying again.
The most beautiful spot for a quiet and cosy retreat. Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and very comfortable. The bed was simply heavenly! Best sleep I’ve had in years! Lovely quiet village, amazing views. Just perfect. Close enough to town for everything you need. Beautiful walks for our dog.
Foxhole Rigg was a lovely property in a very quiet and secluded location. However it could do with a refresh. The one settee was unclean and stained in various places. There was a lack of hooks in the bathroom to hang wet towels. Some of the coffee mugs were chipped. The outside table was weathered (to be expected) but needed repairing at various points. The kitchen crockery needed replenishing e.g. there is a cake baking tin but no oven trays. The shower water pressure could do with being increased. The faucet in the kitchen leaks such that water runs and drips on to the floor. All minor issu...more
Park House Cottage is a lovely place to stay for a Cumbrian holiday. Tastefully decorated and spacious, the sofas and beds are very comfortable and the views are fabulous. The cottage is tucked away up the hill on the outskirts of Barbon, but just a very short walk back into the village. We would be happy to stay again, and would also recommend the cottage to friends if they were looking to holiday in the area. A bonus that it is dog friendly. We really enjoyed our holiday.
A very enjoyable 3 night stay at Lane Ends Cottage which ticked every box for a friends get together. We all found the beds very comfortable and the on-suites were very well presented, there was also plenty of space for clothes etc. The boot room was huge and was a great space for removing wet clothes and dirty boots before entering the kitchen. We were all impressed with the views (being golfers) from the windows and the telescope was a very useful addition. A definite return visit.
Excellent location for our dogs to escape what for them is the horror of bonfire night fireworks. This is the second time we've stayed at a Millhouse cottage in the Kirby Lonsdale area and again it worked a treat. The cottage was ideal for our stay, quiet and remote but easily accessable to the local amenities. Well appointed with all technology modern life requires, it made for a very pleasent stay. We will be booking another stay with Millhouse cottages as soon as possible for the same time of year, which says it all really.
We love visiting North Lancashire / South Cumbria and Barbon is the the perfect base to do it . Near , but not in busy K.L. . great walks from a tiny village with a peaceful friendly community on your doorstep . The cottage has everything you need and within easy reach of local services - if you need them . We stayed for what so far has been the hottest few days of the year , so we took advantage of the small courtyard garden at the rear . Other than the bathroom shower / seal , which perhaps needs some urgent attention , everything was perfect.
We had a fab few days at the barn. Modern new, clean holiday let. The bedrooms are very small with very little storage / hangers and a lack of coat/ towel hooks! The Owner could not have been nicer and more willing to make our stay more enjoyable - overall a very pleasant stay.
We always enjoy our time coming up to Kirkby Lonsdale & this is our second time in Brontë House which is comfortable & well presented. The one thing that disappoints us is the small things of not even a bottle of water or any milk just to make a drink after your journey. Sometimes it’s the little things you appreciate but it didn’t spoil our time there.
