The property is appreciated for its ideal situation for visiting the surrounding area and the ability to do country walks directly from the cottage. However, one review notes it is more remote than expected.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and spacious, with a peaceful atmosphere. There is a mention of the pillows not being as comfortable, but overall the comfort level is high.

About this property
Kirkby Lonsdale 3 milesSituated rurally in Casterton near Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria is Langthwaite Cottage, a delightful, three-bedroom annexe. Enjoying countryside views and a prime position within Yorkshire Dales National Park, the cottage welcomes six guests and two well-behaved dogs, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a private garden, and an open-plan living space. Travel down the private lane and reach the driveway, before travelling beyond the shared, sweeping garden, and into the entrance of the annexe. Reach the open-plan living space, complete with a fully-equipped kitchen, a lofty dining table for eight, and a homely sitting area with a wealth of books on offer; prepare meals, dine and relax in this space as a family.
If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, locate the private garden and patio, and set the table, watching the sun set over the village. To the exterior of Langthwaite Cottage, discover the inviting hot tub providing you the perfect way to relax following a day of exploring. When sleep calls, retreat to one of three well-appointed bedrooms, all adorning antique furniture and serviced by the ground-floor bathroom with an indulgent roll-top bath and walk-in shower; select between a super-king-size with en-suite cloakroom, located on the first floor, and a super-king-size or twin on the ground floor. Awaken to stunning vistas across the rolling fields, before beginning a hike towards the Radical Steps for the best vantage point, stroll across Devil's Bridge, enveloped River Lune, or practise your swing at Casterton Golf Course. Traverse through the national park, reaching beauty spots including the White Scar Cave, and Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, before following the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail. Kendal is a must visit town, resting within the Lake District National Park, home to a museum, castle, and the stunning River Kent, ideal for visiting before continuing towards Lake Windermere and its wealth of attractions. Enjoy an escape at Langthwaite Cottage.
Kirkby Lonsdale is a charming market town located in the Lune Valley, halfway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. The town has a 13th-century Market Charter and was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Today, Thursday is market day, giving tourists the chance to explore the town's unique independent stores and numerous still-standing structures from the 17th and 18th centuries. Additionally, the town was a nominee for the 2016 High Street of the Year Award. Turner loved to visit this area of the Lune Valley, and Ruskin made it renowned; his "view" of the valley is still breath-taking. The peaceful country lanes are perfect for exploration by vehicle, bike, or even horseback.

We loved that we could do country walks with our dogs straight from the cottage and also enjoyed star gazing from the hot tub. Owners were friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. We hope to come back here for another holiday!

Very spacious. Nice touch of chocolates, bubbly and milk on arrival. It's a bit more remote than listing says and access from village is up long single tracks. Would benefit from a second bedroom. Kirby Lonsdale is beautiful.
