  Arriving on Friday evening we were able to park right outside and easily get into the properly.

  On entry to the hallway of the building, we were taken back by how well the old building has been restored. After making our way upstairs we were very pleased to see that all our needs were catered for. A delightful hallway for us to take off our boots and hang our jackets, before entering into the double height living space with original features (even the old dock) lovingly restored and modernised all of which are tastefully done. The kitchen is very well-equipped, if eating in you have absolutely everything you need. Once we have had gathered our bags, we explored the bedrooms, which I must say are a delight. Very luxurious and both with high spec ensuite facilities. The bed was very grand and comfortable with quality linens. Everything was very in keeping with the restoration of the old building but there are tasteful modern touches everywhere. From TV’s in living and sleeping areas to USB sockets for phone charging. Once we were settled we made the 2-minute walk into the centre of the village and had a couple of drinks, returning to eat at the lovely dining table. On the Saturday we walked out to the falls which is a quick jaunt down through the village before heading up on a very scenic walking route which bring you back down into the village enjoy one of the several pubs and good food establishments. Although we were rained on, we found getting back to the court house nice and easy as the hallway of both the main building and the hallway to the accommodation has matts and boot storage making it an easy and comfortable place to get back to. The building itself is stunning, inside and out. The scale of the place is magnificent. With the building being so solid there was no noise heard from the other spaces. We really got the feeling of complete comfort and privacy. It was great value for money given both the location and quality of the accommodation . 5+ stars. We will be booking another stay.

  Overall Lune Cottage is a lovely, homely place to stay.

  It has pretty much everything you need in a holiday cottage, is in a handy location for accessing all the shops and pubs of Kirkby Lonsdale and is a comfortable and welcoming property. Particularly appreciated was the amount of little extras on arrival - not just a pint of milk - but plenty of cleaning products, kitchen towels, cooking essentials etc plus a bottle of wine to compensate for one of the bedroom blinds not working which was unnecessary as it actually did but still much appreciated! The beds are also very comfortable. There are only a few little niggles: bathroom towels were provided but could do with replacing as they weren't of a great quality and have had plenty of use (would have preferred to have brought our own). Whilst the shower itself was fine, it's over a corner bath with a short folding screen and so it's really difficult not to flood the bathroom floor as the water goes everywhere. It also looks a bit dated with sealant slathered everywhere to try and stop it leaking. Given the property is not really suitable for very young or very old guests I think it's time to ditch the bath and put in a proper walk-in shower, which would greatly enhance the guest experience. And at the same time sort out the noisy bathroom door as it's so creaky to close that it's impossible to use the toilet quietly at night or first thing without waking everyone up. Overall though it has lots going for it and is a value for money option in a popular and pretty village and would definitely recommend it as a place to have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. P.s. we had no problems finding a free parking space in the residential crescent located just behind the property every day, worth bearing in mind.

  I am very disappointment that i have checked out of the lodge and received an unexpected £180 cleaning bill because i left a bag of rubbish, 2 bowls to be washed and not hoovered the carpet or made the beds.

  I was sent a picture of the bed not made, some crumbs on the carpet and a bowl to be washed and a bag of rubbish. Surely when every person checks out of the lodge you get it deep cleaned surely that’s in the price you pay when booking? Surely you Wash/change the bedding? & Sanitise all the kitchen, bedrooms bathroom? Surely you don’t rely on the people renting the lodge to make sure it’s at a high cleaning standard for the people next checking in? As that’s very very unhygienic & you should be getting the lodge deep cleaned after every stay! I came away with my 4 year daughter who’s currently on chemotherapy & my son who’s 8 to have a few days respite between my daughters treatments I thought we could go away and enjoy some time together we rushed back the morning of check out and left a couple of bowls to be washed & beds not made and a bag to be disposed and we have been charged £180 I find this disgusting. I have never stayed anywhere where I have been left responsible for cleaning the property to an inch of it life before checking out. When booking there is nowhere that states if I don’t clean the lodge I will be charged. It says if there is damage I will be charged and there was no damage to the property! I expect cleaning fee to be returned to my account immediately.

  We had an amazing stay at the lodge.

  It was in such a quiet and relaxing park and the pitch itself looking out at the small pond was wonderful. Just what we needed for our escape. I hadn’t realised the access to the pool wasn’t included or that day passes literally meant you could come and go - both of these things would have been helpful to know as £25 a go for a family for a swimming session adds up. However the pool and facilities were very good and we did use them. Including visiting the lovely restaurant. The hot tub is very large and was a wonderful addition. The main reason we booked! As well as outdoor seating that we were able to use in the April sunshine!!! The bathroom with a BATH was superb and additional en-suite just made everything more comfortable for us. Your selection of games and especially dvds went down so well. The van was fully equipped and we really enjoyed the stay. Nearest shop/supermarket is Tesco’s approximately 10 minute drive which is useful and the drive to beaches including Morecambe was only short which meant getting out and enjoying the sea air was easy. There was a manual for everything in the van plus taxi numbers, places to visit etc which meant not having to do the leg work yourself. You can’t wish for more from a booking. Peaceful and (almost) perfect.

  This is a beautiful cottage and we had a fantastic stay over New Year.

  Very convenient for the shops, bars and restaurants of Kirkby Lonsdale but set a street back so the area remains quiet and peaceful. The cottage was well equipped with everything you need. There is only a small front paved courtyard garden, but it is totally secure, we had a German pointer with us and the garden was more than ample for just letting him out for a quick wee. There are plenty of longer dog walks around the area and the cottage is only a short and easy walk from Devil's Bridge and the beautiful river walks. The log burner wasn't working when we stayed but that was not an issue to us as we were out in the evening anyway and the cottage was still warm and cosy without it. Areas of the cottage (around the tv) were a bit dusty and we couldn't locate the remote control for the tv which we did eventually find under the settee. That is literally my only complaint. The beds are extremely comfortable, the shower is brilliant, hot and powerful, there is plenty of space even if there were 4 of you staying there. The Christmas decorations were an added bonus and made the already very tasteful decor extra lovely. I would highly recommend this cottage and I would definitely stay here again.
