"We didn't realise at first entrance was on the rear of property."
The settee was a bit low for the wife who struggled to get up as she has severe osteo arthritis. We did enjoy our stay and this was the only minor niggle. Every thing else was great nice short walk to the river we may come again.

"The apartment was in an ideal position for walking the dog, plus it was very close to the town centre."
We found the sofa to be uncomfortable as it was too low and wasn't easy to get up, but maybe that's due to our age! The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was great! One little niggle was the lack of coat hooks near the door. I also think a clock on the wall would be helpful. All in all we had a great time, and would recommend 2 Eden Lodge.

"Comfortable property in a pleasant location in Kirkby Stephen."
We enjoyed our stay, it was great to be able to just nip round the corner and be at the river and the start of several walks. The benches in this area provide a lovely outdoor option if the weather behaves! The property is well maintained and decently equipped (everything we needed for a couple of meals in) with the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen all fine. The walking options (3-5 miles) from the door are excellent with the disused railway and river paths providing really enjoyable circular routes. Longer routes take a little more planing and will often require a different start point. Kirkby Stephen has a good range of shops including a larger Co-op along with good coffee shops and decent pubs, most offering "pub grub" menus. We ate twice at the Black Horse in Nateby for a wider menu choice, this is walkable from Kirkby Stephen on good footpaths. We weren't the biggest fans of the sofa, sinking so far in it was a major decision to get up again and not finding it the most comfortable, but would have no hesitation in recommending this property and we will definitely consider a return.

"Overall, a good property in a good quiet location, and a host who responds quickly to queries."
We chose it because one of us uses a mobility scooter and it is well suited (one low step from the path) - however the shower has no grab rail so they felt unable to use it. The sofa is awkwardly low and a couple of reading lamps would help as the living area is dark in the evenings. The kitchen area is well equipped, but a couple more mugs and knives would help - that way the dishwasher needn't be run half-full!

"Excellent cottage for two people of any age, very convenient central location in a friendly charming market town."
The cottage has everything you need including Wifi and Smart TV. plenty of lovely walks near by without the need to get the car out, but also on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales national Parks, the Lakes are an easy drive away, as is the railway station to Settle or Carlisle. If you don't feel the need to use the cottages more than adequate cooking facilities there are plenty of decent foodie pubs and takeaways within walking distance. Katie the owner is very helpful and quick to respond to any questions you may have. We did not experience any noise from our neighbours. Parking is reserved and adjacent to the property a bit tight for larger cars but manageable with care. Loved the place.

"We had a fantastic week based at 2 Eden Lodge."
The location of the cottage in the village was great. Everything was very clean, modern, spacious and comfortable, especially the bed. We ate in most nights and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The owner was easy to contact. We would recommend this property and would love to return.
-
"It was beautiful, my little dog settled in quite nicely."
Lovely walking place less than 2 minutes from the lodge. Shops a couple of minutes away, great little bakery , I can recommend their rolls. All made fresh to order. We had a fantastic stay even the weather was absolutely gorgeous. I would recommend this little lodge to anyone, it has everything that one needs including a lovely comfy bed and the hostess is only a phone call away not that we needed her as she thought of everything.
-
"The apartment is lovely, ideal location with everything you would need for your stay."
It was perfect for our week in Cumbria but would be also great for shorter stays too. Within 30 seconds walk of the River and within an hours drive of the Lakes, the Dales and other perfect locations. Certainly would go again!
-
"This property was lovely."
It was well equipped, crisp white sheets and a lovely bathroom. It was in a lovely area with Frank’s bridge on the doorstep which led to lovely walks. The welcome pack was a nice touch. We took a beer and a wine and sat on the bench by the river and watched the world go by. Value for money. The only issue we had was we were not sure what to do with our recycling regarding which day to put it out.
-
"As always excellent."
Place is perfect and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. We will definitely be back asap.
-
"We experienced night time noise from the upstairs flat but no disturbance in the daytime which was unsettling."
Could do with more plates,mugs etc Excellent location for walks in the Eden valley.

The cottage was bigger than expected it was bright and in a fabulous location all walks on the door step and close to shops

"It’s class!"
-
"We'd like to thank the owners for the welcome basket it was very much appreciated."
The flat was immaculate and we very much enjoyed our stay, apart from the weather which can't be helped. We would highly recommend this property to future holiday makers.

"Second time in one of these lodges and both brilliant."
-
"We booked the flat literally at the last minute."
But Katie quickly got the flat ready for us and let us know when it was ready. The instructions for accessing the property were clear. But the flat is tucked away. So, if you can’t find the property, it’s at the bottom of Mellbecks at Frank’s Bridge (ask a local). The flat was lovely and warm. The living area comprises of a large and very well-equipped kitchen area, separated from the large and very well-furnished lounge area by a large and very useful kitchen island. The lounge area had a two-person dining table which could seat four people, a large coffee table, a good-sized TV sitting on a sturdy TV unit, and a big, comfortable couch. The toilet/shower room was also a good size with a powerful rainfall shower. The bedroom was a good size too with a built-in wardrobe, bedside cabinets complete with bedside lamps, and dressing table. All of the furniture was of a surprisingly high quality for a rental property. The property was very clean and well-decorated throughout. There is an allocated parking space immediately below the flat, which for us was perfect, as we like to keep an eye on our car. We stayed there for three nights and slept soundly each night. The flat is located approximately a three-minute walk from Market Square and the main road through Kirkby Stephen. We went there because of a classic transport event. The main street was full of vehicles of all shapes and sizes. But because of where the flat is located, we couldn’t hear any noise whatsoever from the main road. Would we stay there again? Absolutely.

"The cottage is beautiful & excellently maintained."
Very spacious. We found the sofa too low for us, but it was fun trying to get out of it. Kitchen utensils - I would prefer plastic rather than metal.
-
"Fabulous stay in Kirkby Stephen at 2 Eden Lodge."
The apartment was spotless, minutes from the town centre and shops, cafes’ and pubs, restaurants. Biscuits, coffee and tea bags plus other goodies were waiting for us on arrival. An information folder provided information for things to do and places to go which we found useful, the Mango Tree Indian restaurant is great, although they don’t do deserts. Would definitely recommend and return.

"Lovely flat in a great location."
Many walks straight from the doorstep and easy access to the Dales, the Lakes and the Howgill Fells. 2 minute walk into the market place and plenty of choices for food and drink. Great facilities in the flat although it would have been good to have a few coat hooks by the entrance to hang up wet walking gear.
-
"Perfect accommodation and location."
Will be back.
-
"Eden Lodge is well positioned for the town and river."
Benefits from a safe parking place. The accommodation is well equipped with all you need for your holiday. We were well pleased with the welcome hamper which we enjoyed. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to people. If you have mobility issues the steps from the car park to the entrance will be an issue though.
-
"Excellent standard of property."
Impressed with 2 things never experienced in my life of holiday rentals! Sharp knives and a decent set of pans. Comfy bed, perfectly equipped and a very helpful owner on hand should we need help with anything. I have nothing to criticise. Excellent in every way.
-
"I spent two consecutive weeks at this cottage and absolutely loved it."
So much so I can’t wait to go back again. It was a perfect base for exploring Cumbria , The Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. The local area is so lovely with all the amenities one could possibly need; from cake to wine and in between. The cottage was so comfortable and cosy and had everything you could need. I was exceptionally impressed that it had both a dishwasher and a full size fridge/freezer. I would highly recommend visiting Eden Lodge.
-

"The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable internally and the host ..."
The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable internally and the host was very helpful and accommodating The area is stunning with lots of wonderful walks from the doorstep The downside was there was barely any phone signal and no WiFi as a solo elderly traveller I found this unsettling knowing I couldn't contact anyone in an emergency The property also opens onto a very dark alleyway and although very quiet I feel the motion sensor light would be best replaced with an outside light for safety reasons you had to step out into the dark to activate this I booked for a week but stayed only 4 nights because of these issues
-
"Great stay at comfy cosy property."

Would definitely recommend.

Very clean and comfortable .
-
"Nothing really to add."
The accomodation was purfect for what we wanted.to go to parts of the lakes we have not been to in the past.the only downside was noisy neighbours walking past our property say at 6.30 in the morning walking there dogs.it seemed some days the whole street must have walked past.and with the windows being open because of the heat we were continually being woken up by yapping dogs.i know there is nothing that can be done about this it is just anoying when you are on holiday and we thought it looked a nice quiet area when we first arrived.never mind we can always hope for better at the end of sept when our next break arrives.

"2 Eden Lodge was great!"
The location was ideal, just a minutes walk to the shops etc... The flat was very comfortable and well equipped, lovely views over the bridge. Lovely walks from the doorstep. We will definitely be returning!
-
"Just a couple of little things which would have made the stay more home from home - a mirror in the bedroom - it’s difficult to blow dry your hair without one!"
A shelf over or just next to the sink in the bathroom as no where to put toothbrushes, contact lenses etc. Other than that it is a fabulous lodge and would recommend.
-
"The flat was really welcoming and modern in a lovely old building in the heart of historic Kirkby Stephen."
We loved it and would recommend it to anyone.
-
"Very clean, well equipped and comfortable accommodation."
Ideal location for shops, take outs, pubs and Riverside walks. There was a lovely surprise welcome hamper to tuck into on our arrival and a bottle of milk in the fridge was unexpected and welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for our host. I would certainly recommend this accommodation and would certainly book again next year.

"This is a lovely apartment for a couple, located in the small market town of Kirby Stephen, an excellent base from which to explore this peaceful area of the North Pennines."
The apartment is in a historic building but inside is modern and comfortable with well planned facilities. The kitchen/living area is well equipped for cooking, eating and relaxing. The bed is comfortable and the area is quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep. The owners are helpful and local. We felt very welcome. The apartment is close to the town centre, which has good facilities; pubs, cafes, takeaways, shops and a supermarket. It is also next to Frank's Bridge, a peaceful area by the river and a starting point for several walks.
