“The pictures for this cottage on the website was the same in real life it was beautiful, clean, spacious.”

The village it’s in is just as nice thank you. We would definitely use you again and recommend you to friends and family.

“The cottage was as expected clean, comfortable, and well situated for the lakes and the dales.”

The only downfall was the wooden steps and decking outside the property which when wet were slippery.
Mr Forsyth August 2018

“I would have paid a bit extra for wi-fi ...”

I would have paid a bit extra for wi-fi The decking area is a lot smaller than the photographs would lead you to believe and the claimed 2 minute walk would take you as far as the spar but not as far as the chip shop and pub not a problem for us but the wifes father is 94 and couldnt manage it

“Ideally situated for us, a big bonus to have the balcony overlooking the lovely garden.”
Mr Robbins May 2018

“It did not affect us but there are 5 steps / stairs down from the living area to the bedrooms.”

Your description says "ground floor" bedrooms and also living area. There is also no Wi Fi: not mentioned in description but some could just assume that there is access The heating is only central heating, the boiler had just been changed so generally it was efficient. There is no supplementary form of heating for when the C/H has not yet started (before 7am) or for when it thinks it is hot enough and does not kick back in on a chilly evening. The owners do not like the controls adjusted. There are skylights in the bedrooms, they have blinds but the sun did wake us up in the morning, fortunately only at 6am at this time of year, but could be a lot earlier later in the year.

“A lovely property, but a little more outside space/garden access would make it exceptional”

“Manor Lodge is very comfortable & cozy.”

We were there in December and really enjoyed out stay. The area is good for walking, not too demanding. Handy for local shops, pubs etc.

“Wonderful place, and I hesitate to even mention a tiny complaint.”

No Wi-Fi , which may be a geographical issue?

“Perfect location for visiting nortern England”

We stayed in Kirkby Stephne for a week. We travelled with car. The cottage was clean and had a good standard. It was situated closed to the Town centre. Just 5 minutes walk to pubs and resturants. The cottage is small, and maximum 4 person. On the down side: one bathroom but that was ok for us, just beeing two person. No wifi, but you can live without internet for a week. The pub "Black Bull" in Town centre has free wifi - and good ale and food! The purpose for us was golf, and there is a lot of courses closed to Kirkby Stephens. I recommend Appleby golf course.

“Brilliant Week In Kirkby Stephen”

We have just returned from a fantastic week at Manor Lodge, yes we got the weather which always helps but the situation and comfort there was excellent.All rooms were spotless and it's so comfortable, we slept like " Logs" all week, it has everything you need and the garden is private and quite stunning.If you enjoy nature then you could spend all day bird watching from the verandah, we had a Tawny Owl every night sitting quietly for half an hour opposite the entrance and teens of Bats. The Kirkby Stephen Macaws were briefly seen, heard first as usual, they remain an interesting feature of the town, we first spotted them over ten years ago whilst out walking, we thought that we had spotted a rare bird but now know that they return to aviary every night but are allowed free travel throughout the day . The owners were polite and helpful, the situation is two minutes from the centre of town and there is plenty of room to park and you are then straight on to the main road. We walked everyday, the Howgills/Dales/Eden Valley/Mallerstang and Wild Boar ranges are all within minutes by car.We have never understood why this area is not more popular.The Town is small but has adequate options re eating and drinking, it has 3 Fish&Chip Shops for a start, The White Lion sells beer for £2 a pint ( Bitter/ Lager ) The Coast To Coast Chippie sells Fish&Chips/peas for £3:80p so you can't go wrong!

“Jones family Kirby Stephen lodge rental”

What an excellent spot to enjoy the area in and around Kirkby Stephen. Manor Lodge was easy to find, provided excellent facilities overall and was a very brief walk to shops and restaurants. A private, off-road parking space next to the lodge was a good start; a place to store four bikes under a wooden walkway was helpful and a first view of the lodge when opening the door was like a home from home! There was a well-equipped kitchen, a clean bathroom and two clean bedrooms; all very homely. It took less than five minutes to walk to any shop or restaurant (and there was a variety of dining opportunities in the main street) and we set off from the lodge on three major walks and two cycle rides with map in hand - easy! A day trip to Carlisle on the Settle to Carlisle Railway was great too. The whole family would recommend this rental to anyone wanting to visit the area.

“Peace, quiet and comfort.”

Excellent accommodation in area of natural beauty. Good activities and sights close to Kirkby Stephen and Lake District close enough for a day activity there if you want it. Accommodation was clean,warm and well-equipped.

“Beautiful accomodation”

Beautiful home set in a glorious garden. We even saw a Heron in the garden pond outside one of the bedrooms on two occasions. Ideal location to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. The photographs do not do the home justice as it is much larger than expected. The only thing we least liked was having to carry our cases up the steps but its only on the first and last day so not a big problem.
