"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.

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.

"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.

"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.
