“Comfortable cottage with all the facilities required for a weeks stay.”

“This is a splendid cottage and in a tranquil location in the lovely Market Town of Kirkby Stephen.”

It is a very short stroll to the town’s shops, pubs and church, and an even shorter stroll to the River Eden and the start of many walks over the fells. The cottage is very comfortable and had everything that we needed to make our stay most enjoyable, and it has been renovated to a high standard and is clearly loved by the owners. I was born in Kirkby Stephen and it was a great pleasure to come back for a holiday and to stay in such a lovely cottage as this made our stay absolutely perfect. Thank you. Garry Handley OBE

“Perfect base for exploring the Eden Valley and the Howgills.”

A stones throw from the high Street and the countryside. Really comfortable cottage. Highly recommended.

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage was lovely, and had everything we needed, and it is in a very beautiful area.

“Well equipped, comfortable cottage in convenient location in Kirkby Stephen.”

Both bedrooms are well sized with king sized beds (and an extra single in one of them) so particularly good for two couples. Great to have off street parking and outdoor seating. Lots of options for walking in the area or just a short drive away.

“Lovely clean and well equipped cottage.”

In a very quite location, but only 2 mins walk from the town. Bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. Good WiFi and TV. We cycled there and the hosts were happy for us to use their shed for storage, but we just popped our bikes round the back of the garden. Would definitely use this cottage again!!

Ron October 2023

“A really fantastic break in this lovely, well maintained, cottage.”

Very peaceful but within wreach of riverside walks and walking distance to the centre of Kirkby Stephen. Beds were very comfortable and the cottage was lovely and warm. The television had all all the channels you would want and was a good size for the room. WiFi signal was very good. We visited The Taggy Man for lunch which was very good with nice, attentive staff. We also attended the quiz night on Tuesday at 7 pm and it was excellent with sausage butties at half time - all for just £1.50 each (dog friendly - very). Finally we have to mention The White Hare cafe. Fabulous breakfast, great friendly staff and very good prices We enjoyed our stay here so much we have booked to come back in March 2024. Thanks again for this experience.

- Ron, October 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay & we will look forward to hosting you again in March. Property Owner
