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".

However, the heating was not on or working when we arrived, & we could not find any main switch to turn it on, We contacted Sykes & they said they would send out Maintenance Man the next day. There was NO House information in the apartment or House Keeper contact No ! The next day we found a timer switch hidden in a top kitchen cupboard which turned out to be the main heating control. ! The electric tripped & we were left with no lighting or cooking facilities at, 6pm We again contacted sykes to report, the mains fuse box was locked away in cupboard & it took several hours to get this sorted to locate key code to unlock door. ! The Bath Tub was 'HALF SIZE' & This was not stated in listing ! This was an issue & Would not have placed booking had we known this..!. There was a lack of kitchen utensils + not enough glasses no tea towels etc I am awaiting financial compensation/Partial refund, for all the issues experienced . John

It smelt musty, kitchen dirty, cobwebs and dust everywhere, debris under the couch cushions and floor. The wooden toilet seat cracked and held together with a rusty bracket. No heating in the bedroom or bathroom. We had no choice but to leave. Didnât get anywhere with Sykes until I found the owner on Airbnb and emailed myself .Terrible experience dealing with Sykes , you book through them but the contract is with the owner. To be fair to the owner he did request Sykes to do what they needed to do to resolve the issue, he sent me the email that he had sent to Sykes. I think Sykes were surprised I had been able to contact the owner and got the email he had sent them , they told me there will be no refund until that point. Got partial refund , what terrible experience dealing with Sykes and the Apartment is still available on there site. Problems do happen it is how they are dealt with.
