Self Catering in Cumbria - Kirkby Lonsdale

Good but could do better
We stayed as a family party of 12 for New Year in Beckside Cottage and Old Stables. In Beckside, the lounge was comfortable with an effective wood burner and very good heating system. We were a party of 2 adults, 2 teenagers and a 3 and 5 year old. For travelling purposes,we kept clothing to a minimum as the property said it was supplied with towels and a washing machine. We had one small bath towel approx 120x60cm each and were made to feel unreasonable asking for more. We did get 6 more small towels, to be shared amongst the 12 of us. Also, when we arrived, we were presented with a clothes airer and told " you will need this, the washer is broken". Fortunately, we were able to take our washing next door to The Old Stables but it was not ideal. I feel that we should have been informed of the washing machine situation before we left home, in order to bring more clothes and towels........anyone with teenagers and under 5's will understand!! We did, however, enjoy our stay and the kids loved it.

Lovely countryside retreat
fabulous cottage, lovely lounge with wood burner, kitchen has all you need but is a bit of a tight squeeze with 6 around the table! Bedrooms are comfortable, one is a little dark. We stayed bank holiday weekend and we were a party of 4 adults and 2 children. We really enjoyed our stay, cosy evenings with the fire lit, lovely countryside surrounding it. We really enjoyed our weekend and is a perfect base for exploring the Lune valley or just relaxing in front of the fire with a glass of wine (or cup of tea!). Would recommend

We really enjoyed our short break at Beckside. It is situated in a quiet rural valley and Kirkby Lonsdale is easily accessible with its shops galleries, pub's and restaurants. The excellent facilities at the cottage provided all that we required. We would certainly like to stay there again.

A lovely cottage in a great location - nicely remote but easy distance to Kirby. It was truly relaxing.
