  Such a lovely cottage well equipped and very clean and cosy.

  We have stayed in Kirkby Lonsdale a few times but this cottage has been the best so far. Excellent location everything in walking distance no problems with parking and good we could pull up outside to load and unload our belongings . Lovely inglenook fireplace with log burner but didn't use as weather good. Cottage very warm didn’t need heating as seems to hold heat. Very quiet so good nights sleep was had by all . No need to take food as shop just around corner and booths just 10 min walk so buy as you need as both open till late. The butchers is excellent selling very good sausage and bacon and the pork pies are to die for .Lots of good pubs and places to eat on doorstep so no need for taxis. Had a few meals at orange tree which is further up the hill from church . Wed is steak night rump steak with all trimming £15 excellent value and very good quality.staff very nice too. Brewery is good for drinks , make sure ask for beer card get a stamp when buy their beer. Buy 9 pints get 10th one free can use throughout stay . The Milk Parlour ice cream shop is a must best ice cream I have ever had. We had a fantastic time and will definitely back. Thank you Claire your cottage is a credit to you .

  Back Cottage is an ideal cottage for the family and the dog.

  It was just the two of us and the dog. It was a very comfortable cottage over 3 floors. More of a town house. Beautiful yorkshire stone building. The view from the top back window (bedroom) is like a painting. Rightly so a stool is in place and you can sit and daydream out the window to such a beautiful view. It is exquisite. The cottage is near Salt Pie Lane. Beautiful cobbled little lane to the main part of Kirby Lonsdale. We have visited Kirby Lonsdale a lot and will definitely go back to Back Cottage. Very clean, very comfortable, very well cared for. It has everything you need for a short break. So much to do and see in Kirby Lonsdale and this cottage is ideal for anyone who has a dog. It has a little back courtyard with a little table and chairs if weather nice you could sit out and have your breakfast although small it is ideal. Our dog loved all the walks around the countryside and beyond. Lovely comfy bed on top floor . We did not use bed in middle floor. Beautiful log fire. So we had logs on such a lovely atmosphere in the evening sitting peacefully reading my book. Highly recommended. Top class for a visit for any family and the dog. We will be returning.

  We generally enjoyed our stay.

  Lodge is nice but not very clean. Dog hair covered the carpet. We had taken several videos and ended up not wearing any socks or not placing anything on the carpet. The owner did send the cleaner back. She vacuumed the living room only but it was not a vacuum for pet hair and made zero difference. We also were unable to connect to the internet for the entire stay. We were told that we were connected - yes we agree that the tv was connected but not any of our personal tech. Again video to evidence we were using the correct passcodes but unable to connect. Sykes does not accept video evidence?? Sykes pretty much indifferent as the issue was allegedly between the owner for whom we had no contact information and us. The owner was away for a few days and on return did leave a complimentary gift which was nice but honestly we would have preferred clean carpets - as dog hair was on the sofa, cushions, and bed linen. I think obviously when changing the beds the quilts are placed on the floor?? My guess. Internet access (bar the tv) would have been nice.

  We stayed at Parkers Place for a second time in March 2024, having stayed the previous year.

  Again, we found the lodge to be very spacious and comfortable. We have been visiting this site for 15+ years and Parkers Place is one of the best lodges we've stayed in. I do feel though that the lodge needs a little TLC since our last visit. The patio area was extremely slippy. The bottle holder in the fridge had been removed (I assume broken at some point). A few of the kitchen drawers seem to fall off there runners if you pulled them out fully. The mattresses were a little too soft but this is a personal preference. These are all very minor things but could help to improve a stay at Parker's Place. The site is very quiet, safe and clean. I would definitely recommend the beauty salon and gym/pool. I would have no hesitation in booking again and plan to do so. Many thanks for letting us use your lovely lodge.

  Arrived at cottage, everything ready, spotlessly clean, well furnished and everything you need for a brilliant stay.

  Bed very comfortable in first floor room, the top floor room a little uncomfortable as mattress topper just slightly bigger than mattress, it makes you roll awkwardly. The cottage is really close to the main street with all the shoos, bars n restaurants. 2 Chinese take aways and an Indian restaurant with takeaway. The Royal Barn Brewery is great as are the other locals. We took our dog wth us, cottage had little yard that enabled him to go outside, fantastic walks in the area and very dog friendly in pubs and eaterues. Parked on brewery carpark you can pay for 3 and 7 day parking there , which can be used on carparks in area, we used at Grange over Sands which was very handy. We stayed 4 nights in the cottage, so on the last night parked near the Orange Tree on road, free parking there.
