Guests say

Kirkby House is highly praised for its cleanliness, central location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and thoughtful touches like dog treats. While parking can be challenging, the provided permit is helpful. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, but overall, guests are delighted with their stay and often express a desire to return.

Guests consistently mention that the property is very clean, with high-quality towels and bed linens. The presence of cobwebs in one instance seems to be an exception rather than the norm.

The central location is frequently highlighted as a major plus, with easy access to local shops, restaurants, and attractions. The convenience of the location contributes significantly to the positive experience of guests.

The property is described as comfortable, cosy, and spacious, with comfortable beds and underfloor heating in bathrooms. A few guests mentioned a claustrophobic room and a lack of garden space, slightly affecting the overall comfort score.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and luxurious bathrooms. However, some maintenance issues like a blocked shower drain and a broken window blind are noted, indicating room for improvement.

Guests appreciate the thoughtful extras such as dog bowls, treats, and provisions like tea and coffee. While these gestures are well-received, it is important to note that such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

About this property

Kirkby House is a stunning mid-terrace mews in the scenic town of Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria. Kirkby House is the ideal base for couples, small groups, or families to explore the quaint old market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and its surrounding villages. It’s also just a short distance from the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Pull up outside the house to unload your bags; there is a parking pass in the house for the adjacent car park on New Road with additional free parking on the main road B6254. As you walk in the house there’s a useful utility/boot room, so you can easily store your shoes and coats away from the rest of the house. There’s a washing machine and an additional fridge in here too. The kitchen/diner has everything you need for a self-catering stay. Once a delicious dinner has been cooked, bring it to the dining table or the breakfast bar and enjoy a wonderful meal alongside the glow of the woodburning stove. After dinner, head upstairs to a relaxing sitting room with plenty of seating for you to stretch out on as you watch a show on the Smart TV. Move across the first floor to find two of the three fabulous bedrooms which inhabit the mews, the first of which is a king-size with access to a stunning, underfloor heated en-suite bathroom. The other is a twin with access to a sizeable shower room; both rooms contain zip/linked beds for additional convenience. Ascend the stairs once more to uncover the last bedroom, which is a king-size with contemporary furniture and vaulted ceilings, as well as access to an en-suite shower room; the perfect space for those after a little privacy. The property is completed by a convenient cloakroom on the ground level! Kirkby Lonsdale is known for its wealth of eateries, wine bars, real ale brewery and shops. All of which are just a stone’s throw from Kirkby House. There are plenty of short walks from the house including the circular stroll which is suitable for prams to historic Devil's Bridge. Travel a short way to Ingleton, a town that offers access to the famous Ingleton Waterfall, the mountain and caverns of Ingleborough, as well as treks along the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail. Alternatively, you can travel to the outskirts of the Lake District, where the market town of Kendal offers a variety of activities, such as walks along The Helm, with its wide range of plants and Fell ponies, the KendWall Climbing Centre, for those seeking some exhilaration, and a local museum offering fantastic exhibits. Aside from the adjacent National Parks, which provide a variety of walks and watersports, the Forest of Bowland and the beaches of Arnside & Silverdale, both of which are designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are also conveniently accessible. Choose Kirkby House for an unforgettable holiday.

Kirkby Lonsdale is a charming market town in the middle of the Lune Valley, halfway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. The town was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and has a Market Charter from the 13th century. Today, Thursday is market day, providing an excellent chance for tourists to explore the town's unique individual stores as well as the numerous 17th and 18th century structures that still survive.
