“Just stayed 3 nights in Honey Cottage, the location is excellent and the facilities are excellent as well.”

One thing which makes it stand out is the lovely patio area which is great if you get sunshine. The beds and furnishing are all comfortable

“Lovely cottage in a perfect location for shops, pubs and cafes, a big bonus to have some private outside space to enjoy at the cottage.”

Owner is very helpful, cottage is very well equipped, welcome pack was a nice touch. Although it has three bedrooms and can accommodate six people I personally think it would feel a bit crowded with more than four adults. Overall cottage was clean and comfortable and perfectly located for exploring the area.

- Ian, April 2022

Thank you so much for the feedback and I am really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I appreciate that it is a cottage, not a large house; we have had many groups of 6 that enjoy how comfortable and cozy it is. I respect that it wouldn’t feel right for you. We pride ourselves on its position and amenities so we are hugely glad you found them so good. I hope you get to stay at the cottage again one day. Thanks again for staying at Honey Cottage.

“Lovely cosy cottage which was warm, very comfortable with a really good log burner, perfect for February.”

Great position for all the amenities in Kirkby Lonsdale, with a valuable parking permit as a bonus. Owner very welcoming and helpful with any queries we had- we will certainly be booking this cottage again.

- Lynne, February 2022

So glad you enjoyed your time. Thanks so much for staying and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

“We love Kirkby Lonsdale but this was the first time we have stayed in Honey Cottage.”

It won’t be the last. A lovely property with a great location and a wonderful view. The back garden was a particular highlight especially as we were fortunate with weather. A mix of modern and quirky we loved our stay in Honey Cottage and can’t wait to return.

- Isabella, July 2021

To Mrs Currie Thank you. So glad you had a lovely time, and that you were able to enjoy the view from the back garden. Really looking forward to welcoming you back. Thanks for staying at Honey Cottage. Heather Property Owner

“Honey cottage is perfect for a village break, its in the heart of kirkby lonsdale with lovely bars and restaurants nearby and breathtaking walks to explore.”

honey cottage is clean, cosy and well equiped with everything you need, i love that it has outdoor seating in the court yard, not many cottages in the village have this, plus a log burner for cozy evenings in. heather, the owner is very helpful with any queries and leaves a lovely welcome pack of wine, cake, tea, coffee etc. we felt very relaxed going to honey cottage during covid times as all precautions were followed. we'll be back again soon.

Maxine February 2020

“Very clean and comfy.”

In the centre of town yet not on a busy street. Fluffy white towels and crisp white bedding. A bottle Cava and other goodies for our arrival which made the weekend even more special!

- Maxine, February 2020
Linda February 2020

“What a lovely little cottage this is.”

The owners are extremely helpful and friendly and have thought of everything you might need. Is is very tastefully decorated and clean throughout. We all appreciated the bottle of fizz and chocolates - so thoughtful. We'd love to visit again when the weather is better so we can take advantage of the outside patio area. Thank you Heather and Paul. We can't recommend Honey Cottage highly enough

- Linda, February 2020
Marie January 2020

“When we arrived there was a bottle of cava, chocolate from the local Bespoke chocolate shop, shortbreads, dog bed, dog treats, dog blankets, left all condiments for tea, coffee and hot chocolate.”

They really thought of everything, soaps, toilet rolls, towels; may only be little things but really made a difference. Honey cottage was definitely a home from home. Everywhere was so clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and bedding was ideal. Ample space to store clothes, a gorgeous Big bathroom Which was sparkling. The host was amazing throughout, and even though I have a poorly dog, has still checked in to see how she’s doing. Honey cottage will definitely be having more and more visitors to surround the log fire, as we have told everyone just how amazing our stay was. The little village is so picturesque and had everything on the doorstep. Can not wait to return to Kirkby Lonsdale, Honey Cottage. Thank you for having us and making us so welcome. Perfect break.

- Marie, January 2020
Mike January 2020

“Fantastic cottage in the town centre.”

Heather the owner supplied logs, chocolates, fizz and dog treats. The cottage was clean and still had the original features, I would definitely recommend to others and stay again in the future.

“Absolutely perfect!”

The cottage was everything and more than we expected. We thought the location was brilliant, the standard of everything within the cottage was first class and the owners could not have been more obliging. Thanks for a great holiday!

Sharon November 2019

“We had a lovely time at Honey cottage.”

The cottage has everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. Very close to the village of Kirkby Lonsdale, which was a bonus. Heather the host was very accommodating and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you

William September 2019

“Fabulous! Superb location only minutes away from all amenities.”

We parked the car up for a week and didn't move it! Kirkby Lonsdale is such a wonderful town with excellent bars and restaurants and lots of lovely walks on your doorstep.

- William, September 2019
Edna September 2019

“The cottage was fantastic a home away from home and more.”

Had a really good welcome made to feel comfortable in a great location. The only thing could of done with a spare front door key. Look forward to going back x

Sarah July 2019

“Honey cottage was perfect for our stay.”

Four old school friends, from different parts of the country and one from overseas, catching up for 4 days. The cottage felt like home and the outdoor terrace was lovely to sit out on at any time of day. We had breakfast and dinner there most nights. Milk coffee, tea and biscuits were provided but a bottle of Prosecco and hand made chocolates just made it all so much more special. Our host Heather was wonderful. She gave very clear instructions about getting into the cottage and checked up the first night to make sure that everything was OK. She also followed up at the end of our stay to make sure that we had a good holiday. I recommend Honey Cottage to anyone wishing to visit the Kirkby Lonsdale area.

- Sarah, July 2019
Elizabeth June 2019

“Spent a wonderful week in Honey Cottage and Kirkby Lonsdale for the first time.”

The location of the cottage is ideal and you can trust the description given on the Sykes Cottages website. In fact the cottage was even better than expected and Heather goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need and more. What a lovely welcome surprise of Cava, chocolates and biscuits for us and treats for our dog too! The patio at the rear of the cottage is a sun trap - we were lucky to have superb weather - with seating and tables to enjoy being outdoors, the views and occasionally the sound of church bells. The patio is also very secure if you have a pet with you. Inside is very comfortable with clean white bedding, comfortable pillows and white fluffy towels. The walk in shower is great. If you do want to self cater the kitchen has everything you could possibly need to prepare and serve a meal. No need to wash up either as you can make use of the dishwasher. The shops and everything else in Kirkby Lonsdale are just a few minutes walk from the cottage and most either have signs saying dogs are allowed or will let you in if you ask. We will definitely be returning at some point and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to others.

- Elizabeth, June 2019
Shirley June 2019

“Had a lovely long weekend at Honey Cottage.”

Everything possible to make you feel at home, excellent facilities. Weather was not brilliant but we managed to spend our first night enjoying the patio, the second night we had the luxury of the log burner and the board games provided us good entertainment. As we had two vehicles we parked in the car park opposite Booths which was very reasonable. Everything in the cottage provided to make it homely.

- Shirley, June 2019
Stephen May 2019

“Honey Cottage is a lovely little cottage situated in Kirkby Lonsdale.”

It is ideally located for everything that Kirkby Lonsdale has to offer - Restaurants, Pubs, Shops etc. The cottage is pet friendly, so myself and a couple of friends were able to stay for the week with their little westie dog. The cottage had everything we needed to make our week a comfortable stay! A parking permit is available for one car only, and although we had taken two cars, we found a parking space close by for our second car within a three minute walk. I would certainly recommend this cottage to other people wishing to stay at Kirkby Lonsdale! Steve Wiseman.

- Stephen, May 2019
David May 2019

Kyla December 2018

“The owner Heather was extremely helpful, she answered any questions within minutes.”

The cottage had basics like washing up liquid, foil, cling film, bin bags, tabs for dishwasher and logs for 1 fire. There was also a bottle of champagne, milk, biscuits and a few tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Which I thought was a wonderful touch. There was plenty games, we loved the ‘logo game’ and books DVDs etc. It’s centrally located, had parking permit too. My husband and I have stayed in all the hotels in Kirby Lonsdale and they are lovely but I’d definitely stay here again it was fab

- Kyla, December 2018
Monique December 2018

“We had a fantastic stay at the cottage which felt like home away from home.”

It had everything we needed - plenty of crockery, cutlery & glassware and more than the essentials which meant cooking Christmas dinner was a breeze! The utility area & rear entrance to the garden was perfect for cleaning off the dog. Shower was fantastic & the beds very comfortable. Plenty of mirrors too for those of us that like to check our entire outfit from head to toe. There is a lovely wood burner for extra cosiness although the heating worked really well. Everything was very clean. Location is also great. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We couldn’t have asked for more and would definitely recommend this cottage!

- Monique, December 2018
Karen December 2018

“Checking in to our cottage was really easy, a simple phone call to get the key safe number.”

Our cottage was so welcoming - with biscuits, tea, milk and a bottle of Cava too ! Everything we needed to make a meal was available in the well-appointed kitchen, and later, we sank in to our comfortable beds for a good nights sleep. The location of the cottage is perfect being a short walk from the nearby supermarket and the main street with all of its lovely shops and inviting pubs. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many walks you can do straight from the cottage. It's also worth mentioning that the cottage has access by foot, from the rear to the utility room - very useful if your walk has been in rather inclement weather. There is room for muddy boots and a rack above the radiator for wet jackets to dry. There is also a table and chairs outside to enjoy if you are lucky enough to get good weather !

- Karen, December 2018
Jean December 2018

Ian August 2018

“We had a very lovely long weekend away staying at Honey Cottage.”

The cottage was beautiful, comfortable and our hosts left us with basic kitchen needs so had we been late getting in, we still could've had tea in the morning! We loved everything about the cottage and hope we can come back to stay again. We did a lot of touring (Blackpool one day & Lake Windermere the next) so we didn't get a chance to experience Kirkby-Lonsdale enough. We will definitely plan to come back someday. Thank you SO much for your hospitality.

- Ian, August 2018
Catherine August 2018

“Lovely cottage, wine and shortbread a treat!”

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The owner of the cottage obviously wants those staying to feel very welcome.

We loved the place

“The Yorkshire Dales is a lovely place to visit and the holiday was made by the quality and cleeanliness of Honey Cottage.”

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sykes and Honey Cottage.

- Ian, July 2018
Carolyn July 2018

“Honey Cottage is perfectly situated to explore all of Kirkby Lonsdale.”

It within a few minutes walk to all shops, pubs and restaurants and within an easy stroll to scenic walks which are truly breathtaking. The cottage is wonderful and is fully equipped with everything you require. There are little extra touches everywhere, beautiful fluffy towels and top of range bedding. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and have ample storage and hairdryer in each. The living room is very comfortable with smart tv and good wifi service. The kitchen has everything required and the dishwasher and washing machine came in very useful. The whole cottage is exceptionally clean. Heather was so thoughtful with bedding, treats and even a fluffy towel for our dog. We were kept well informed of all arrangements and given every opportunity to ask for any other information. The welcome wine and shortbread were a lovely treat! Truly 5 star treatment all the way. We hope to return to Honey Cottage very soon.

“The cottage was wonderful, with great attention to detail.”

Nothing was overlooked, high spec home from home. And the terrace was perfect for us and the dogs to have our morning cups and evening Pimms! We loved it so much we have already booked our next stay!

- Mary, May 2018
Philip April 2018

“Cottage exactly as described - clean, cosy and comfortable with very smart shower-room.”

Great terrace patio when sunny. We found that on street parking really wasn't a starter and bought a 1 week longstay parking ticket on the nearby New Street 2 carpark for only £30, which worked on other carparks in the district and qualified for a small refund at the nearby Booths supermarket- other visitors might like to know about this before they arrive. Unloading and loading in the double yellow lined narrow street outside the cottage was a little fraught - but pedestrians, neighbours and drivers were understanding so it was OK - but it had to be done quickly.

- Philip, April 2018
Dorothy March 2018

“Really do have everything on your doorstep.”

Honey Cottage was great as you had a wide selection of restaurants and pubs within few minutes walk and Booths supermarket too. Well equipped and to good standard and even a Smart TV and pretty good WiFi speeds. The owners provide a permit for road parking but spaces are at a premium. We had 2 cars and just bought a weekly car park ticket next to booths so only couple of minutes walk. Heather thinks of everything and was very helpful. Even provided dog bed and blankets plus a bottle of prosecco for the two legged friends! Location extremely convenient for lots of activities. Recommend Holker Hall and Ribble viaduct.

- Dorothy, March 2018
Kate December 2017

“Great to return to Honey Cottage and a great cosy week and a fabulous place to stay in the Christmas period as well as the summer months.”

We also invited friends and family and ALL loved the cottage, location and a fab week walking, shopping and many excellent places to eat and visit. Thanks to Heather for looking after us as ever.

Quality furniture, comfy beds and best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a holiday cottage. The additional extras provided were brilliant - A doggie welcome, including dog bed, blanket, poop bags and treats. A bottle of fizz, homemade marmalade, biscuits and basket of all sorts of tea & coffee supplies. All kitchen cleaners provided, including dishwasher tablets and washing machine powder. Smart TV with Netflix, YouTube, iPlayer. Spare phone charger. Lovely outdoor terrace with views.

- Helen, June 2017

About the location

KIRKBY LONSDALE

Kendal 9 miles.

An attractive market town, Kirkby Lonsdale is situated in the heart of the Lune Valley, midway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. The town was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and holds a 13th century Market Charter. Nowadays, Thursday is market day, a perfect opportunity for visitors to explore the variety of distinctive independent shops in the town, or the many 17th and 18th century buildings which still stand. The town was also a finalist for the High Street of the Year Award in 2016. This part of the Lune Valley was a favourite haunt of the artist Turner, and was made famous by Ruskin – his "view" of the valley is still spectacular. The medieval Devil’s Bridge spans the river, and the quiet country lanes are ideal for exploring by car, bike, or even horse. There are three golf courses nearby, as well as tennis, riding, fishing and a variety of riverside and country walks, making the area an ideal location for a break, whatever time of year. When voting Kirkby Lonsdale as the ‘Best Place to Live in The North West’ in 2019, The Sunday Times commented it is “An unbeatable Lake District location, bags of community spirit and one of the cleanest high streets in the country’.
