“Lovely place for a quiet break, close to Kirby Lonsdale and Kendal.”

Well fitted out accommodation with most everything you need, one small issue for people of a surtain age could be having the bathroom on the ground floor with all of the bedrooms on the first floor, other than that a fantastic place to stay

“Absolutely lovely accommodation, suited 5 adults 1 baby and 1 dog perfectly, i was a little worried about the spiral stair case and the dog, but no beed to be, as there are steps from garden up to living area which was fab, and the views are unreal.”

The location is excellent, we visited kirkby lonsdale, Cartmel and windermere and had an amazing time.

“Lovely location.”

Beautiful walks. Wonderful in the spring - lambs, calves, rabbits and pheasants everywhere. Very friendly owners. Idyllic area, pretty stone cottages and villages which have kept their original character and charm.

Sanchia October 2023

“Super location for walking.”

Sufficient size for 4 and quirky layout. Adequate parking space. Struggled with oven, insufficient supply of crockery and pans, especially with using dishwasher. Required hooks for towels in bathroom and more toilet rolls. Could not locate a sweeping brush for kitchen floor and felt guilty for not been able to give a sweep, especially after muddy, wet walks. Telly network needs updating. Could only find doggy poo bags, when searching for bin liners for bedding upon departing. Needs owner to use for a week to determine making more user friendly, they were Very pleasant n helpful.

Hospitality excellent Shower not working first evening but remedied following day but access to toilet and shower difficult from bedrooms owing to tricky metal spiral staircase Beautiful situation with wonderful views but not for the elderly or infirm

“Brilliant location, beautiful views and extremely comfortable stay!”

“Very nice cottage large kitchen n lounge bedroom good parking good location good.”

Not so good only one bathroom and stair spiral and tv channels not good reception

- Steven, December 2022
Carl December 2022

“A lovely place completely out of the way of just about everything.”

It was perfect for us. If I had to he overly picky, and these certainly aren't show stoppers, the WiFi was a little temperamental and the TV reception really poor.

- Carl, December 2022
Jamie August 2022

“Such a lovely place.”

Set nice and away from main roads so it's super peaceful. It's surroundings are beautiful and seeing and hearing all of the animals is lovely and comforting. The hosts are super friendly and just the loveliest people. It's located in a great place to explore the Lake District, only 30 to 60 minutes away from Keswick and Windermere.

Judy October 2021

“Lovely cottage (The Granary Kirkby Lonsdale) - warm, cosy and very well equipped.”

Great to have off-road parking, in a stunning isolated country setting. Beautiful views from the kitchen and bedroom windows. Really enjoyed our stay. Some small points: Would have liked the heating to be on a bit longer in the evenings. No double beds - find a single bed a bit narrow (not used to it!).

- Judy, October 2021
Richard September 2021

“Enjoyed our stay very much.”

The location was good for visiting the dale and the lake district. The Granary was warm, clean and comfortable and very quiet!. The spiral staircase wasn't ideal for us but we managed and it certainly didnt spoil our stay. We had a lovely few days away.

- Laura, April 2021
Ruth October 2020

“Double bed instead of pushing 2 singles together.”

Freeview on the tv needs re-tuning.If there is nowhere to go in evening, tv channel choice very poor. Due to Covid rules, any boxed games and video games were removed. Hence previous comment stuck with TV.

- Ruth, October 2020
Lynda September 2020

“Absolutely loved the place.”

Only drawback for people in their 70s like us was the circular staircase which would be difficult for anyone with mobility problems. Otherwise it was superb and spotlessly clean. Well equippe and spacious. Well heated.

- Lynda, September 2020

Louise December 2018

“Unique spacious accommodation with a quirky layout and everything you need for a break away in a peaceful location.”

Owners are adjacent and were welcoming and helpful if needed but otherwise unobtrusive. Comfortable beds and sofas, clean and well equipped kitchen, clean and modern compact shower room with good shower. Good location for peace and quiet with beautiful views but in short distance of many places to visit and for amenities. Lovely stay for the whole family including our dog.

- Louise, December 2018

Marianne May 2018

“Lovely little cottage getaway set in the gorgeous Dales countryside.”

Basic but cosy and comfy, it suited five of us perfectly. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and overall it was a great stay. Thanks!

- Marianne, May 2018
Janet February 2018

“A lovely quiet rural location.”

Despite the cold and wet weather, the hosts were great at providing solutions; bringing us extra heaters and a drying rack. I would highly recommend this if you want to get away from it all

Vivienne October 2017

“We really enjoyed out short break at Th Granary.”

My young grandson loved the stables, the owners were really lovely and were there if needed but didn’t intrude. The views were stunning. The kitchen was just what a family needed large table to laugh and giggle round. If you have young children there is a spiral staircase but with innovative thinking this didn’t prove too much of problem. Beds are very very comfortable. Shower room compact but does the job. On the whole this is a great base to explore everywhere, Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire as you can be in each county in minutes. Although the weather was cracking the flags we did everything we had planned to. Many thanks to the Capsticks

- Vivienne, October 2017
Andy May 2017

“The Granary Cottage is excellent, everything in the cottage and grounds was lovely.”

A long walk to the nearest town Kirby Longsdale which is very nice, if it's hot take your swimming stuff with you and swim in the river. The owners of The Granary are very nice and welcoming, would definitely visit again.

- Andy, May 2017
Anne September 2015

“The cottage was clean and tidy with plenty of space.”

It was far enough away to feel like an escape but close enough to make it simple to get provisions etc. The outlook was lovely - hills and dales all round. The owners are lovely, friendly, helpful and not at all intrusive - just right.

- Anne, September 2015
Anthony June 2014

“Lovely cottage/barn conversion.”

It was roomy and comfortable with lovely views and good access to walks and the farm, which is great for kids. The owners are really nice and welcoming people, they couldn't be any nicer, top marks. Also, its not too far from Kirby town, so supplies are easily at hand. Very nice, really enjoyed it.

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".
