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".

We stayed as a couple along with my parents, the property was spacious, with everything you could possibly need with lots of local shops, eateries and pubs on the doorstep, itâs the perfect location. The stairs up to the property are a little steep and would benefit from a handrail at the top, but not too much of an issue. The weather was quite cold during our stay and the front bedroom was a little drafty around the window which is to be expected in a property of the age, but the bedding was lovely, warm and very comfortable, as was the lovely fire in the living room. I would highly recommend this property, we are already planning to come back in the summer to make use of the beautiful courtyard/ garden area. The hosts were really helpful, sending through details for parking and check in. Thank you for a lovely stay - 10/10!

We provided a positive review last time and can only confirm what we said then. This is a delightful and convenient place to stay for a few days. It is comfortable and everything is in place for a highly satisfactory experience. The owner is easily contactable in the case of any queries which is an added bonus.

The place is clean, comfortable and homely with a good supply of essentials. The owners had put a Christmas tree up which made our Christmas trip even better. We did struggle to find it but for anyone staying, it's down the gated alley next to the sweet shop. It's a perfect location, perfect apartment and we would definitely stay again.
