    “Booked through Skye’s Cottages and had plenty of emails and timely updates and reminders, no hassle at all.”

    Arrival and entry really easy. The property is beautiful and exactly as shown, probably bigger than photos. The bedrooms and bathrooms are huge with so much storage throughout. Everything worked perfectly. Only thing we could have done with is a few trays for oven and non stick pans. Considering this could house 8 adults (we were 4adults 2children) you could struggle to get meals out at same time. Just basic flat trays and frying pans would have helped. Things I couldn’t see listed ...

    Arrival and entry really easy. The property is beautiful and exactly as shown, probably bigger than photos. The bedrooms and bathrooms are huge with so much storage throughout. Everything worked perfectly. Only thing we could have done with is a few trays for oven and non stick pans. Considering this could house 8 adults (we were 4adults 2children) you could struggle to get meals out at same time. Just basic flat trays and frying pans would have helped. Things I couldn’t see listed are the music dock, Washing products (welcome kit, cloth liquid, tablets bin bags etc) I took everything myself but that helped. Also 1 large and 1 small towel per person provided. Each bathroom/toilet had 2 toilet rolls (8 total) There were also 2 tea towels and oven gloves. Things we took extra that came in handy were extra dish washer tablets, extra bin bags, kitchen roll, alcohol measure. Tip - ordered food online with Asda to arrive between 330-430 on our first day! Worked out brilliantly! We bought plenty local products and gifts while there but this meant we could save space in cars and everything was fresh and still frozen (ice, freezer food etc) Would definitely recommend and definitely re book. Hot tub was a lovely temperature and really clean. Thank you for a wonderful New Year.

    Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review. I'm delighted to hear that everything from booking through to arrival was smooth and hassle-free, and that you found Pen-Y-Ghent beautiful, spacious and even larger than expected. It’s great to know the bedrooms, bathrooms and storage worked so well for your group, and that the hot tub was clean, warm and enjoyed during your New Year stay. Thank you also for the helpful feedback regarding the kitchen equipment. We’re very grateful for this and will certainly look at adding extra oven trays and non-stick frying pans to better suit larger groups. We’re pleased the additional items provided, towels and welcome supplies were useful, and it’s helpful to know what guests often bring along as extras too. Your tip about ordering a food delivery on arrival is a great one and will be useful for future guests. I'm so glad you had a wonderful New Year break with us and truly appreciate the recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back to Pen-Y-Ghent again in the future. Property Owner

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".
