“Spotlessly clean cottage.”

Beds very comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay. Will probably return. Flagstones outside cottage very slippy! We had to be careful. Don’t think you can do anything but maybe a warning to users would be helpful. When I got out of the car I slipped on the surface.

“Lonsdale Cottage is a superb property.”

Set in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, it is both central and quiet, with the added bonus of a parking space on the doorstep. The cottage is beautifully furnished and well-equipped, warm and extremely comfortable. There was detailed information provided about the property and things to do in the local area, which was very helpful. The Welcome pack was a nice touch and much appreciated. We had a wonderful week - thank you.

- Jill, October 2023
Dave September 2023

“Fantastic property, as advertised.”

We have no complaints or niggles regarding our stay. The car parking space is a godsend as the village is rightly popular. We highly recommend 'The Spice' Indian restaurant, cash only but cracking food and great value. All in all a great break in a wonderful cottage, in a picturesque village.

- Dave, September 2023

“We really loved Lonsdale Cottage as soon as we walked in the door.”

The weather was a little chilly outside but inside we were cosy and warm. The living room is great with the big picture window. The other rooms and fixtures and fittings are brilliant. We looked forward to our return after busy days out. The treats provided were gorgeous especially the chocolates hand made by a local shop. The walk down to the river and over the Devils Bridge is so beautiful it’s hard to drink it all in. Kirkby Lonsdale town is just so stunning. We just love it.

Furnished for comfort and equipped with every conceivable item you may need, even a sewing kit.

Sarah February 2022

“This property was very special indeed.”

The photos don’t do it justice! Since Covid we have had many UK holidays and this property was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. It was clean, very comfy and super cosy! It had everything we could have wished for and made for a very relaxing weeks holiday. Just a hop, skip and a jump down a gorgeous little lane and you were in the high street or a minutes walk and you were next to the river Lune. Yet the property was so quiet and once inside you felt that you were in the middle of nowhere! Amazing stay, we will be back.

- Sarah, February 2022
Angela February 2022

“This is a beautiful cottage with every facility you could wish for.”

Very well stocked and with luxury fittings and tasteful decor. A lovely little goodies hamper awaited us with a bottle of Prosecco.

The property in in an ideal location just off the main street of Kirkby Lonsdale within a minute or two of some lovely restaurants as well as easy access to the surrounding area.

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".
