“Cannot fault location, cleanliness, comfort, maintenance and the existing facilities of Honey Cottage.”

The welcome package was well received, thank you! If I had to give feedback for improvement, it would be useful to: have a large entrance door mat. When it’s been raining and 4 people need to gain quick access, there is no immediate space to derobe/remove walking boots. In the warmer months, it would ideal if the downstairs cloakroom had a heated radiator - operated in separation to the central heating… Last week was very rainy , so we had to switch the central heating on to dry ...

The print has faded on the council blue sacks/boxes so one has to examine neighbouring recycling to understand ‘what goes into what’

- Nicola, August 2024

Hi Nicola Thank you so much for the helpful feedback. We are glad you found Honey Cottage so comfortable and clean. Space is obviously limited for a larger mat than the 2 there, but I understand your point. We will leave a larger one that can be taken up and down easily to make things easier. We can’t fit another radiator in the downstairs bathroom without compromising other comforts, but guests are welcome to turn the heating on and switch off the other downstairs radiators to isolate the ones(s) for drying. We are glad you had a good week and that you get back to Kirkby Lonsdale one day. Many thanks again. Heather Property Owner

“We had a great week at this wonderful well situated cottage in the heart of this lovely village .”

Everything about it was exactly as described and more. The communication with the owner (Heather) was also first class and the welcome pack of prosecco and chocolates were a very welcome treat after a long drive up the M6. Thank you very much . Cheers MASS and Andrea

- Ian, August 2024

Hi there Thank you so very much for your lovely feedback. We are really pleased you liked it so much. We hope you make it back to Kirkby Lonsdale and Honey Cottage one day. Many thanks Heather Property Owner

“We have just had our second stay at Honey Cottage and it was every bit as good as the first.”

It is a lovely house with absolutely everything you need provided for you and your dog. It is comfortable, spacious, tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. It is very welcoming and the owners are so helpful. Thank you, Heather.

- Julie, August 2024

Hi Julie Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are really pleased you enjoyed your 2 holidays here. Thank you for choosing Honey Cottage and we really hope you come back again soon! Property Owner
Melanie August 2024

“We had the loveliest stay at Honey Cottage this summer, there was everything we needed at the cottage.”

A real homely place which catered for our every need, including our dogs. The cottage was equipped with absolutely everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Easily accessible to the lovely nearby shops and Booths was a few minutes walk away. Plenty of walks with our dogs around the town and along the river which was really relaxing, and lovely to stop for a picnic. The cottage was very peaceful, though as previous reviews state the road outside of the cottage can get busy but as long as you’re aware of this when stepping out you should be fine. Heather, owner of the cottage, was extremely helpful and attentive and when we explained our holiday was to be cut a couple days short due to a family issue, went above and beyond to make our stay at the cottage as lovely as possible. Her kindness and generosity will never be forgotten and we would definitely love to return next year. Thank you Heather! And we’re sure if you’re staying at Honey Cottage you’ll have as lovely a time as we did!

- Melanie, August 2024

“We loved our stay in Honey Cottage.”

It is comfortable and cosy; a real home from home. It is tastefully decorated and furnished with some lovely accessories and art work. The owners have provided everything that you could want or need including much appreciated welcome gifts and a a wide range of things for our dog such as a bed, bowls, treats, poo bags and more! The bed and pillows are really comfortable and the bed linens and towels are of good quality. The walk-in shower is perfect - gorgeous soap and hand cream provided too. The owners contacted us to check we had settled in which made us feel very welcome and they made it clear they were on hand should we need anything. Thank you and thank you for such a lovely stay in your cottage.

- Julie, June 2024

Hi Julie Thank you so much for this detailed and thorough feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed Honey Cottage so much. Dogs are every bit as welcome as humans! We hope to welcome you back again soon. Thanks again Property Owner
Lynne March 2024

“Honey Cottage is a really beautiful place to stay, it had everything you could possibly want and more.”

The lounge area was very comfortable with comfy seating and log burner if needed (the central heating was sufficient though) TV with plenty of channels and netflix. Plenty of books, maps of the area and games for your use. The dining table was big and at he back of the lounge area. The kitchen was the most well equipped I have ever seen. Plenty of place settings, cooking utensils and cleaning products. The extention at the back has a beautiful sunroom, with a piano. There is a utility room with toilet, washing machine and vacuum cleaner. The sunroof looks out with bi-fold doors onto the flagged patio that has potted shrubs and plenty of tables and seating to sit outside, with views of the beautiful hills to the right. The bedrooms have very comfortable beds, two double and a twin room, there are two hairdryers (iron and ironing board in the closet). The bathroom is modern and very spacious with a walk-in shower, big fluffy white towels. The whole cottage is spotlessly clean and is beautifully furnished with lots of lovely pictures and ornaments. It was a pleasure to stay there. There Is just a short walk to the main street with plenty of bars, shops and restaurants/cafes. The supermarket Booths is also a 5 minute walk away. The road running past the property is quite busy and you need to be aware of that as you leave the property, as the door is onto the road, but it is not an issue as long as you are aware. The patio has a few steps you need to be aware of and the staircase to the bedrooms is narrow and quite steep (as are most of the cottages in the area) so just be a little careful. There is also a resident parking permit, for roadside parking around the cottage, we stayed on a very busy easter weekend and were always able to find a parking space). Would we visit the cottage again.... without a doubt. The owners were also very helpful and at the end of the phone if needed for advice and assistance too.

- Lynne, March 2024

Thank you so much for this lovely and detailed, informative feedback. Very helpful for other guests. It is greatly appreciated. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and really hope to welcome you back soon to Honey Cottage. Property Owner
Paula January 2024

“We have stayed here several times and will do so again.”

It's so handy for walking into town as well as accessing the rest of the South Lakes. Love the new extension! Really opens up the space at the back of the house.

- Paula, January 2024
Alison December 2023

“We had a wonderful time at Honey Cottage, which was just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale.”

The cottage itself was really cosy and comfortable, with everything provided that you could possibly need. The welcome pack was much appreciated as was the dog bed, bowls, blankets and towels which were a nice touch (along with some dog treats too!). The owner Heather was lovely and offered to help with any questions we had, or supply info about the area. We attended the Christmas Carol Service at the local church and were made to feel very welcome. Overall, a fabulous short break in a lovely village, made even better by the great accommodation.

- Alison, December 2023
Anne June 2023

“We had a lovely week at Honey Cottage, I really felt at home there, very comfortable and well equipped.”

The terrace was gorgeous, especially as we were so lucky to have perfect weather. The terrace is bigger than it appears from the photo on the website and although it adjoins other properties it is very private. The location was exactly what I wanted, in the town and close to many great places to eat and drink. There was some traffic noise in the front bedrooms when the windows were open, which is inevitable in a town. We had 2 cars but parking wasn’t a problem, I used the permit to park further up the Mitchelgate and the other car was in the pay and display car park around the corner.

- Anne, June 2023
Michele May 2023

“My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Honey Cottage.”

Great location. Great facilities Very comfortable and clean, the cottage had everything you could possibly need for a break in Kirby Lonsdale. It felt a very special place to stay and a well looked after cottage. We could have stayed longer and would definately book again. The owners were brilliant.

- Michele, May 2023

David August 2022

“A gorgeous cottage in a really beautiful place.”

We loved our stay at Honey Cottage. It was homely, cosy, clean and full of character. A great location to explore the south lakes, the Morecambe coast, Yorkshire…but Kirkby Lonsdale is lovely in itself. Loved being able to walk to the high street in minutes, the chippy, the ice cream shop, the beautiful river walk. We enjoyed time out on the lovely back patio with the views too. So good for the soul! Thank you for a fantastic stay.

- David, August 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback and I am so glad you had a great stay. Yes, the chippy and the ice cream shop are so nice, fat too tempting! Thank you for choosing to stay at Honey Cottage. I really hope you get to stay again sometime. Warmest wishes Heather Property Owner

David June 2022

“Just stayed 3 nights in Honey Cottage, the location is excellent and the facilities are excellent as well.”

One thing which makes it stand out is the lovely patio area which is great if you get sunshine. The beds and furnishing are all comfortable

- David, June 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed it and benefitted from the patio and the great location. We hope we can welcome you back sometime soon. Property Owner
Ian April 2022

“Lovely cottage in a perfect location for shops, pubs and cafes, a big bonus to have some private outside space to enjoy at the cottage.”

Owner is very helpful, cottage is very well equipped, welcome pack was a nice touch. Although it has three bedrooms and can accommodate six people I personally think it would feel a bit crowded with more than four adults. Overall cottage was clean and comfortable and perfectly located for exploring the area.

- Ian, April 2022

Thank you so much for the feedback and I am really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I appreciate that it is a cottage, not a large house; we have had many groups of 6 that enjoy how comfortable and cozy it is. I respect that it wouldn’t feel right for you. We pride ourselves on its position and amenities so we are hugely glad you found them so good. I hope you get to stay at the cottage again one day. Thanks again for staying at Honey Cottage. Heather Property Owner
Lynne February 2022

“Lovely cosy cottage which was warm, very comfortable with a really good log burner, perfect for February.”

Great position for all the amenities in Kirkby Lonsdale, with a valuable parking permit as a bonus. Owner very welcoming and helpful with any queries we had- we will certainly be booking this cottage again.

- Lynne, February 2022

So glad you enjoyed your time. Thanks so much for staying and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Isabella July 2021

“We love Kirkby Lonsdale but this was the first time we have stayed in Honey Cottage.”

It won’t be the last. A lovely property with a great location and a wonderful view. The back garden was a particular highlight especially as we were fortunate with weather. A mix of modern and quirky we loved our stay in Honey Cottage and can’t wait to return.

- Isabella, July 2021

To Mrs Currie Thank you. So glad you had a lovely time, and that you were able to enjoy the view from the back garden. Really looking forward to welcoming you back. Thanks for staying at Honey Cottage. Heather Property Owner

Dianne December 2020

“Honey cottage is perfect for a village break, its in the heart of kirkby lonsdale with lovely bars and restaurants nearby and breathtaking walks to explore.”

honey cottage is clean, cosy and well equiped with everything you need, i love that it has outdoor seating in the court yard, not many cottages in the village have this, plus a log burner for cozy evenings in. heather, the owner is very helpful with any queries and leaves a lovely welcome pack of wine, cake, tea, coffee etc. we felt very relaxed going to honey cottage during covid times as all precautions were followed. we'll be back again soon.

- Dianne, December 2020
Maxine February 2020

“Very clean and comfy.”

In the centre of town yet not on a busy street. Fluffy white towels and crisp white bedding. A bottle Cava and other goodies for our arrival which made the weekend even more special!

- Maxine, February 2020
Linda February 2020

“What a lovely little cottage this is.”

The owners are extremely helpful and friendly and have thought of everything you might need. Is is very tastefully decorated and clean throughout. We all appreciated the bottle of fizz and chocolates - so thoughtful. We'd love to visit again when the weather is better so we can take advantage of the outside patio area. Thank you Heather and Paul. We can't recommend Honey Cottage highly enough

- Linda, February 2020
Marie January 2020

“When we arrived there was a bottle of cava, chocolate from the local Bespoke chocolate shop, shortbreads, dog bed, dog treats, dog blankets, left all condiments for tea, coffee and hot chocolate.”

They really thought of everything, soaps, toilet rolls, towels; may only be little things but really made a difference. Honey cottage was definitely a home from home. Everywhere was so clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and bedding was ideal. Ample space to store clothes, a gorgeous Big bathroom Which was sparkling. The host was amazing throughout, and even though I have a poorly dog, has still checked in to see how she’s doing. Honey cottage will definitely be having more and more visitors to surround the log fire, as we have told everyone just how amazing our stay was. The little village is so picturesque and had everything on the doorstep. Can not wait to return to Kirkby Lonsdale, Honey Cottage. Thank you for having us and making us so welcome. Perfect break.

- Marie, January 2020
Mike January 2020

“Fantastic cottage in the town centre.”

Heather the owner supplied logs, chocolates, fizz and dog treats. The cottage was clean and still had the original features, I would definitely recommend to others and stay again in the future.

- Mike, January 2020
John November 2019

“Absolutely perfect!”

The cottage was everything and more than we expected. We thought the location was brilliant, the standard of everything within the cottage was first class and the owners could not have been more obliging. Thanks for a great holiday!

- John, November 2019
Sharon November 2019

“We had a lovely time at Honey cottage.”

The cottage has everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. Very close to the village of Kirkby Lonsdale, which was a bonus. Heather the host was very accommodating and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you

- Sharon, November 2019
William September 2019

“Fabulous! Superb location only minutes away from all amenities.”

We parked the car up for a week and didn't move it! Kirkby Lonsdale is such a wonderful town with excellent bars and restaurants and lots of lovely walks on your doorstep.

- William, September 2019
Edna September 2019

Claire July 2019

“The cottage was fantastic a home away from home and more.”

- Claire, July 2019
Sarah July 2019

“Honey cottage was perfect for our stay.”

Four old school friends, from different parts of the country and one from overseas, catching up for 4 days. The cottage felt like home and the outdoor terrace was lovely to sit out on at any time of day. We had breakfast and dinner there most nights. Milk coffee, tea and biscuits were provided but a bottle of Prosecco and hand made chocolates just made it all so much more special. Our host Heather was wonderful. She gave very clear instructions about getting into the cottage and checked up the first night to make sure that everything was OK. She also followed up at the end of our stay to make sure that we had a good holiday. I recommend Honey Cottage to anyone wishing to visit the Kirkby Lonsdale area.

- Sarah, July 2019
Elizabeth June 2019

“Spent a wonderful week in Honey Cottage and Kirkby Lonsdale for the first time.”

The location of the cottage is ideal and you can trust the description given on the Sykes Cottages website. In fact the cottage was even better than expected and Heather goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need and more. What a lovely welcome surprise of Cava, chocolates and biscuits for us and treats for our dog too! The patio at the rear of the cottage is a sun trap - we were lucky to have superb weather - with seating and tables to enjoy being outdoors, the views and occasionally the sound of church bells. The patio is also very secure if you have a pet with you. Inside is very comfortable with clean white bedding, comfortable pillows and white fluffy towels. The walk in shower is great. If you do want to self cater the kitchen has everything you could possibly need to prepare and serve a meal. No need to wash up either as you can make use of the dishwasher. The shops and everything else in Kirkby Lonsdale are just a few minutes walk from the cottage and most either have signs saying dogs are allowed or will let you in if you ask. We will definitely be returning at some point and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to others.

- Elizabeth, June 2019
Shirley June 2019

“Had a lovely long weekend at Honey Cottage.”

Everything possible to make you feel at home, excellent facilities. Weather was not brilliant but we managed to spend our first night enjoying the patio, the second night we had the luxury of the log burner and the board games provided us good entertainment. As we had two vehicles we parked in the car park opposite Booths which was very reasonable. Everything in the cottage provided to make it homely.

- Shirley, June 2019
Stephen May 2019

“Honey Cottage is a lovely little cottage situated in Kirkby Lonsdale.”

It is ideally located for everything that Kirkby Lonsdale has to offer - Restaurants, Pubs, Shops etc. The cottage is pet friendly, so myself and a couple of friends were able to stay for the week with their little westie dog. The cottage had everything we needed to make our week a comfortable stay! A parking permit is available for one car only, and although we had taken two cars, we found a parking space close by for our second car within a three minute walk. I would certainly recommend this cottage to other people wishing to stay at Kirkby Lonsdale! Steve Wiseman.

- Stephen, May 2019
David May 2019

“This is the second time we have stayed in honey cottage.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage has everything you need and is in a great location in the village, within easy walking distance to all bars, restaurants and shops

Kyla December 2018

“The owner Heather was extremely helpful, she answered any questions within minutes.”

The cottage had basics like washing up liquid, foil, cling film, bin bags, tabs for dishwasher and logs for 1 fire. There was also a bottle of champagne, milk, biscuits and a few tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Which I thought was a wonderful touch. There was plenty games, we loved the ‘logo game’ and books DVDs etc. It’s centrally located, had parking permit too. My husband and I have stayed in all the hotels in Kirby Lonsdale and they are lovely but I’d definitely stay here again it was fab

- Kyla, December 2018
Monique December 2018

“We had a fantastic stay at the cottage which felt like home away from home.”

It had everything we needed - plenty of crockery, cutlery & glassware and more than the essentials which meant cooking Christmas dinner was a breeze! The utility area & rear entrance to the garden was perfect for cleaning off the dog. Shower was fantastic & the beds very comfortable. Plenty of mirrors too for those of us that like to check our entire outfit from head to toe. There is a lovely wood burner for extra cosiness although the heating worked really well. Everything was very clean. Location is also great. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We couldn’t have asked for more and would definitely recommend this cottage!

- Monique, December 2018
Karen December 2018

“Checking in to our cottage was really easy, a simple phone call to get the key safe number.”

Our cottage was so welcoming - with biscuits, tea, milk and a bottle of Cava too ! Everything we needed to make a meal was available in the well-appointed kitchen, and later, we sank in to our comfortable beds for a good nights sleep. The location of the cottage is perfect being a short walk from the nearby supermarket and the main street with all of its lovely shops and inviting pubs. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many walks you can do straight from the cottage. It's also worth mentioning that the cottage has access by foot, from the rear to the utility room - very useful if your walk has been in rather inclement weather. There is room for muddy boots and a rack above the radiator for wet jackets to dry. There is also a table and chairs outside to enjoy if you are lucky enough to get good weather !

- Karen, December 2018
Jean December 2018

- Annette, September 2018
David September 2018

“Fabulous cottage in the centre of the town.”

Everything you need is provided, just a home from home

- David, September 2018
Ian August 2018

“We had a very lovely long weekend away staying at Honey Cottage.”

The cottage was beautiful, comfortable and our hosts left us with basic kitchen needs so had we been late getting in, we still could've had tea in the morning! We loved everything about the cottage and hope we can come back to stay again. We did a lot of touring (Blackpool one day & Lake Windermere the next) so we didn't get a chance to experience Kirkby-Lonsdale enough. We will definitely plan to come back someday. Thank you SO much for your hospitality.

- Ian, August 2018
Catherine August 2018

“Lovely cottage, wine and shortbread a treat!”

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The owner of the cottage obviously wants those staying to feel very welcome.

- Catherine, August 2018
Greg July 2018

“The Lake District is wonderful— Kirkby Lonsdale is a magical village— Honey cottage was a great location— easy parking and a 5 Star cottage— everything was there— quality furnishings — plenty of room and very quaint .”

We loved the place

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sykes and Honey Cottage.

- Ian, July 2018
Carolyn July 2018

“Honey Cottage is perfectly situated to explore all of Kirkby Lonsdale.”

It within a few minutes walk to all shops, pubs and restaurants and within an easy stroll to scenic walks which are truly breathtaking. The cottage is wonderful and is fully equipped with everything you require. There are little extra touches everywhere, beautiful fluffy towels and top of range bedding. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and have ample storage and hairdryer in each. The living room is very comfortable with smart tv and good wifi service. The kitchen has everything required and the dishwasher and washing machine came in very useful. The whole cottage is exceptionally clean. Heather was so thoughtful with bedding, treats and even a fluffy towel for our dog. We were kept well informed of all arrangements and given every opportunity to ask for any other information. The welcome wine and shortbread were a lovely treat! Truly 5 star treatment all the way. We hope to return to Honey Cottage very soon.

“Cottage was excellent in every respect and would definitely stay again.”

- Christine, May 2018
Mary May 2018

“The cottage was wonderful, with great attention to detail.”

Nothing was overlooked, high spec home from home. And the terrace was perfect for us and the dogs to have our morning cups and evening Pimms! We loved it so much we have already booked our next stay!

- Mary, May 2018
Philip April 2018

“Cottage exactly as described - clean, cosy and comfortable with very smart shower-room.”

Great terrace patio when sunny. We found that on street parking really wasn't a starter and bought a 1 week longstay parking ticket on the nearby New Street 2 carpark for only £30, which worked on other carparks in the district and qualified for a small refund at the nearby Booths supermarket- other visitors might like to know about this before they arrive. Unloading and loading in the double yellow lined narrow street outside the cottage was a little fraught - but pedestrians, neighbours and drivers were understanding so it was OK - but it had to be done quickly.

- Philip, April 2018
Dorothy March 2018

“Really do have everything on your doorstep.”

Honey Cottage was great as you had a wide selection of restaurants and pubs within few minutes walk and Booths supermarket too. Well equipped and to good standard and even a Smart TV and pretty good WiFi speeds. The owners provide a permit for road parking but spaces are at a premium. We had 2 cars and just bought a weekly car park ticket next to booths so only couple of minutes walk. Heather thinks of everything and was very helpful. Even provided dog bed and blankets plus a bottle of prosecco for the two legged friends! Location extremely convenient for lots of activities. Recommend Holker Hall and Ribble viaduct.

- Dorothy, March 2018
Kate December 2017

“Great to return to Honey Cottage and a great cosy week and a fabulous place to stay in the Christmas period as well as the summer months.”

We also invited friends and family and ALL loved the cottage, location and a fab week walking, shopping and many excellent places to eat and visit. Thanks to Heather for looking after us as ever.

“The cottage is situated in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale and has a good variety of traditional shops, pubs and restaurants on the doorstep.”

Quality furniture, comfy beds and best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a holiday cottage. The additional extras provided were brilliant - A doggie welcome, including dog bed, blanket, poop bags and treats. A bottle of fizz, homemade marmalade, biscuits and basket of all sorts of tea & coffee supplies. All kitchen cleaners provided, including dishwasher tablets and washing machine powder. Smart TV with Netflix, YouTube, iPlayer. Spare phone charger. Lovely outdoor terrace with views.

- Helen, June 2017

“A very welcoming owner and a great cottage in a lovely part of England.”

Some great walking and places to eat and drink in the town and villages. We plan to return soon.

About the location

KIRKBY LONSDALE

Kendal 9 miles.

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".
