Mrs Beaumont
October 2020

“A newly renovated, warm and cosy cottage set in a lovely location.”

We were a bit apprehensive as we have never stayed in a dog-friendly cottage before, but the cottage was extremely clean and looked after. The kitchen was well equipped with every thing you could possibly need. No dishwasher but no problem, the lovely crockery would not have been able to go in there anyway! We met the owners briefly and and they were lovely and friendly. Couldn't fault our stay.

Mrs Simmons October 2020

“The photo on the website didn't do justice to the property inside.”

The cottage was extremely well appointed, probably one of the best we've stayed in, and was clean. The bathroom was very small but it, too, was clean and had everything we needed. Its location was beautifully quiet but handy for lots of different locations and activities. We would love to go back again.

- Mrs Simmons, October 2020
Mrs Buttress September 2020

“A very comfortable cosy cottage with everything we needed perhaps a dishwasher would have made it perfect.”

The efficient central heating was much appreciated.

- Mrs Buttress, September 2020
Mrs Hoole September 2020

“The cottage is lovely and the area is very unspoilt and quiet.”

The cottage was very clean and well equipped. The fireplace was stunning and it was great being able to get extra logs from next door. Polite suggestions the garden furniture needs replacing and the dvd didn’t seem to work but overall a lovely holiday thank you

Mrs Mitchinson August 2020

“Lovely cottage.”

Owners very friendly and helpful.

- Mrs Mitchinson, August 2020
Miss Murgatroyd August 2020

“A beautiful, quaint and cosy cottage.”

So peaceful. Beautiful outlook over nearby farmland. Walks right on the doorstep. Spooky scratching from the loft!! If there was any criticism it'd have to be the hob that was so fierce even when turned to No 1 on the dial. Food burned very quickly! Just thought I'd mention it. I'd definitely return though.

- Miss Murgatroyd, August 2020
Mr Parry July 2020

“The picture of the cottage is misleading as it implies a detached cottage and therefore we were very disappointed on arrival to find that not only was it actually in a small group of cottages, it was semi-detached and we had neighbours with dogs that barked a lot.”

It was only on reading the finer detail at the very bottom of the advertisement after we arrived, that we found the note that it was semi-detached. Regrettably also, some of the cooking utensils were not clean (fat on the inside of a frying pan and some plates not clean) which in light of the current concerns about Covid-19, did not make us feel very relaxed. I did mention this to the owners as I think it is important for them to be aware and assume they thought the previous occupants had done everything. - not quite the idyllic peace and quiet we had hoped for.

- Mr Parry, July 2020

Many thanks for your feedback. Our website clearly states that this is a superb stone-built semi-detached cottage at the top of the property description and I am sorry if you missed this. The owner has informed us that you did mention that you had found the frying pan dirty and she apologised to you for this and said she must have missed it, because she cleans the property herself. The owner takes a real pride in keeping the property clean and if any guest has any problems at all she is on hand to assist as soon as possible and always scores highly for cleanliness.

Mr Searle March 2020

“We had a wonderful long weekend with Fleshbeck as our base & our only grumble was that we didn't book a full week.”

The property was as-listed & we were very cosy there. I'd happily recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

- Mr Searle, March 2020
Mr Willems November 2019

“Due to boiler/heating breaking down I couldn't stay in the cottage I had booked (Low Green Cottage).”

Quick acting from both owner + Sykes set me up in Fleshbeck Cottage nearby which was very much appreciated.

- Mr Willems, November 2019
Miss Corrigan October 2019

“I have been staying in this cottage for years now and it's all been completely redecorated since last year and also new central heating works brilliantly!”

!! The sofas could do with being replaced but they're perfectly adequate.

- Miss Corrigan, October 2019
Ms Murray December 2018

“Wonderful place.”

So relaxing

- Ms Murray, December 2018
Mrs Payne October 2018

“This is cracking cottage.”

Very peaceful in the country but yet only short drive to Kirby Lonsdale. Cottage had everthing we needed. Open fire in the living room made the nights cosy. Would come again....

- Mrs Payne, October 2018
Mrs Gibb July 2018

“Property was looking a tad tired and in need of decoration.”

We were not aware that the dining room window looked directly into the cottage behind ours. Very off putting when eating meals. The kitchen was also overlooked but had a net curtain at the window. The kitchen and bathroom were spotless, but other rooms could do with being given the same level of dusting. The garden was sadly quite neglected, and several shrubs and plants were in need off a good chop and tidy. There was no welcome pack, and this was the first cottage we have stayed in were there was no hairdryer. That said, the cottage is in a lovely place and we did have a relaxing holiday. It was also very kind and much appreciated that they let us bring a second dog.

- Mrs Gibb, July 2018
Mrs Mcauley June 2018

“Fleshbeck Cottage was everything we hoped it would be.”

There was nothing that wasn’t included that we would have expected. Excellent facilities and WiFi was great. The local area was beautiful with great things to see. Had an excellent meal in The Snooty Fox well worth a visit. Lovely local shops too. Definitely somewhere is would return to. Thank you x

- Mrs Mcauley, June 2018
Mrs Nichols March 2018

“The cottage was in a lovely spot, very peaceful.”

It was very clean & had just about everything you would need & being able to take the dog was a bonus, lovely little enclosed garden. However 3 things we felt let it down, there is no heat in the bathroom or bedrooms( there are plug in heaters in bedrooms so not such a problem),but it would have been nice to have somewhere to dry towels. On our first night we were cold, as the storage heater on landing didn't seem to come on till early morning. In the lounge there is a plug in heater, but without lighting the fire that is totally inadequate in the winter. The storage heater in dining room hardly felt warm. There is also just a plug in heater in kitchen. Thirdly it would have been nice to have proper sized bath towels. We did enjoy our stay & the cottage is obviously loved & well cared for, but I think you would struggle to be warm enough had the weather been snowing & frosty.

- Mrs Nichols, March 2018
Mr Arama March 2018

“The cottage was great for a romantic weekend in the sticks.”

Nearby Kirkby Lonsdale was a nice little town.

- Mr Arama, March 2018
Mrs Darcy February 2018

“I think this is the fifth time we have booked this cottage and it is always a great pleasure to stay here.”

The enclosed garden is perfect for our dog and the public footpath across the road provides a super walk, with fabulous views.

- Mrs Darcy, February 2018
Mr Owen February 2018

“Great location for getting away from it all and close enough to Kirby Lonsdale to easily get extra provisions if needed.”

Beautiful scenery and very quiet. In the cottage itself managed a couple of roaring fires, comfortable sofas and beds and no Wi-Fi issues with four I-pads on the go. Great short-stay and good value.

- Mr Owen, February 2018
Mrs Darcy December 2017

“Third time at this cottage.”

Enclosed garden perfect for the dog, very quiet location. Well equipped, bucket of coal and logs to light the range - very cosy. Near to Kirkby Lonsdale which is particularly lovely at Christmas.

- Mrs Darcy, December 2017
Mrs Darcy December 2017

“The cottage is perfect for us because it is near Kirkby Lonsdale, which is lovely anyway, and we have family there.”

The cottage has an enclosed garden which is really good for my dog. It is also a really quiet location, with nice walks.

- Mrs Darcy, December 2017
S5671WJmarkd December 2017

“Great country charm”

A real escape to the country, this old farmhouse offers an ideal location. It's just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and a short drive from the Lake District National Park, and minutes from historic Kirkby Lonsdale. So there's a little bit of something for everyone, and a lot of spectacular scenery! Owners, Mal and Angie, live just up the road. They're charming hosts; they couldn't do enough to make our stay more enjoyable.

- S5671WJmarkd, December 2017

“Peaceful surroundings”

Handily located for the Western section of the Dales, only a short drive into Kirkby Lonsdale and then good access for the Yorkshire 3 Peaks. Comfortable cottage with off road parking. Only reason that it doesn't get a 5 star is the lack of local walks from the door ( footpath opposite has a locked gate, difficult to access if you have a dog), a clothes horse would have been nice, there is a washer/dryer but not suitable for walking tops etc. Kitchen is a bit sparsely equipped, no scissors or baking tray and the smallest dinner plates I've ever seen. No instruction/welcome pack and no visitors book which personally I like to see.

- 53bryanb, October 2017
Ms Willis August 2017

“Advertised as having WiFi but extremely poor throughout the entire house- may be worth mentioning.”

- Ms Willis, August 2017
Mrs Darcy May 2017

“The location was stunning, the garden was better than I expected as it was enclosed, making it safe for my (small) dog.”

The locals walks were fabulous, with amazing views. Will definitely book again.

Mrs Crawford September 2016

“Could do with a few jobs doing around the accommodation, window catch in bedroom missing so could nt leave window open incase a gust of wind or something smashed the window as not secure.”

Electric switch tripped 3 times during stay when switched kitchen light off causing lights to go out having to switch main trip switch to get lights working again. No welcome pack to tell u about recycling etc. Lovely clean spacious property .thouroghly enjoyed our stay . would go back if in the area again .

Mr Guy July 2016

“Fleshbeck Cottage was very clean and with everything you need.”

Owners very contactable of you have a problem. Enclosed garden great for dogs and very peaceful relaxing time. Would highly recommend and great value. Well done to the owner for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing.

- Mr Guy, July 2016
Mr Crwys-williams June 2016

“It was exactly as described; very clean and organised, very well equipped and in excellent condition.”

It had a good shower, very helpful owners and a splendid small enclosed garden. It is in a nice quiet location. Really good value for money.

- Mr Crwys-williams, June 2016
Mr Alba June 2016

“A lovely cottage located in beautiful countryside, with easy access to nice walks and to the local small town.”

- Mr Alba, June 2016
Mr Beard February 2016

We love the peace and quiet and the fact we can take the dog. The setting is perfect and the views are amazing.

- Mr Beard, February 2016
Mr Ogden October 2015

“The period Cottage is cosy and has a fantastic fireplace, just perfect for those wintery evenings.”

This property is also dog friendly and is highly recommended.

- Mr Ogden, October 2015
Mr Dean March 2015

“Fleshbeck cottage is set in a lovely rural location.”

If you want peace and quiet and not to be disturbed, then this is the place. The cottage is comfortable and the fire stove is excellent and a real roaring fire can be enjoyed. The garden is lovely and you can sit outside comfortably and hear nothing but the birds.

- Mr Dean, March 2015
Mr Vliegen December 2014

“The surroundings are great.”

It's a perfect base to spend time in both areas; Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Kirkby Lonsdale is very nice village with a lot of facilities and nice shops. There is not much written about this village but it's definitely undervalued. The cottage is in a very good condition. We were very glad that pets were allowed. I can very recommend this cottage to anyone who likes to spend the holidays in a quiet neighbourhood.

- Mr Vliegen, December 2014
Miss Robinson June 2014

“Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed.”

Nice clean white bedding. Kitchen well equipped and clean. Nice walled garden, as we had a small dog with us. The cottage is set in lovely scenery - whichever way you look.

“Had a lovely week, really happy with the cottage would certainly be more than happy to return.”

- Mrs Haynes, May 2014
Ms Atkins February 2014

“We thought that the cottage was very spacious and warm upon arrival.”

It was well equipped and we all enjoyed the powerful hot showers. We especially loved the character features in the cottage like the windows and the range/ fire in the living room. The cottage location is great for visits to the Lakes and Lancs/Yorkshire. It was good to have the fire starter pack until we got our bearings and found where to buy wood etc.

Mrs Kent October 2013

“Location quite remote, but beautiful setting and great for dog walks straight from the door.”

Cottage is beautiful and well maintained and equipped. Much bigger than it looks in the photographs which don't do it justice! Was really comfortable and cosy. Would highly recommend and hope to visit again.

“Delightful, tranquil and soooo relaxing!”

My partner and I along with our dog have just returned from a lovely stay at Fleshbeck Cottage. Although I have completed a review on the Sykes Cottages web site I wanted to ensure this place gets even more positive exposure! Although the weather wasn't particularly kind we still managed to enjoy our break. The cottage is set in a beautiful and tranquil location approximately 3 miles north of Kirkby Lonsdale, which is a lovely and charming market town. The cottage is tastefully decorated throughout and has a mix of modern and traditional. The bathroom has recently been upgraded and sports a lovely bath/shower. The kitchen is spacious and modern and is complimented with a separate dinning area. The living room is cosy and has a lovely range fireplace and although it rained we didn't need to use it. Both bedrooms were clean and tidy ensuring we had a good night's sleep. The location is ideal for the Lancashire coast, South Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. In addition there are several small market towns to visit close by. Sedbergh has a plethora of bookshops (good for a rainy day), Kikrkby Lonsdale plays host to some nice shops and eateries including the Orange Tree pub, complete with Local ales supplied by the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery, the Jingling Lane traditional Fish and Chip shop and The Caraid coffee shop, which like many places is dog friendly. Last but not least is the Kittridding Farm Shop, who supply a lot of local produce....I recommend their homemade chesse scones!! The owners of the cottage Mal and Angie stopped by to ensure everything was ok. Hopefully 2014 will see us returning to the area.

“Owners very friendly and helpful.”

Accommodation to a tasteful, high standard and well maintained. Kirkby Lonsdale is located approx 3 miles away and has various facilities i.e. shops, eating, pubs and walks around the River Lune / Lune Valley. The Orange Tree has a very good selection of local ales courtesy the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery. I cannot review our holiday without a mention for the Jingling Lane Traditional Fish and Chip Shop....lovely! Overall we had a lovely week, and would like to return next year.

“With the cottage being well-situated, it was easy to travel to a number of local destinations.”

The cottage also felt very modern and clean. Although we had no immediate neighbours, any people we met were very friendly. It was also very nice of the owners to pay us a visit to check that everything was to our satisfaction.

- Mr Egan, May 2013
Mr Quinn March 2013

Enjoyed the log fires. The location was great for Kirkby Lonsdale. The shops are very individual with nice things to buy and eat. The cottage is also handy for visiting the Lakes, 30 mins from Kendal.

“Lovely cottage in a peaceful location”

This cottage ticks all the boxes. Two bedroom, log fire as well as central heating. Peaceful (apart from the odd tractor going past and a wierd generator-type noise from next door). Small but adequate bathroom with a really powerful shower. The only criticisms I have is that although it's fairly clean, it did smell of dog and there were dog hairs on the carpets in the living room and the double bedroom. There were also one or two on the bed which made me wonder if they had actually changed the sheets. The bed didn't smell of dog so maybe they were on someone's clothes whilst they changed the sheets. The owners have several properties to clean and I don't think that they gave themselves enough time before we checked in. Overall, I would stay here again because it had everything we needed and the location is really good because it's a convenient drive both to the Lakes and the Dales. Kirkby Lonsdale is a lovely town too. I might bring my own sheets and towels next time because they charge for bath sheets. (They do provide towels). Older travellers might like to know that the staircase has a lot of stairs and they are quite steep. This made it tough to carry our suitcases upstairs. My elderly mum had to get up several times to go to the toilet in the night and the bathroom door makes quite a loud clattering noise and it is tricky to close. It is a lovely old cottage so you have to expect these things with wonky floorboards. I found it quite charming but it's not for everyone.

Mrs Sharpe June 2012

“Fleshbeck Cottage was very homely and comfortable throughout.”

We have never had such a comfortable bed during a cottage holiday! The situation of the cottage was lovely and quiet. We had our reservations when we booked with it being semi-detached, but we didn't notice any noise from the adjoining property. The owner introduced himself and checked that everything was OK during our stay, which it was, no complaints whatsoever. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing week which was enhanced by such a lovely 'home from home' cottage. We would definitely return for another holiday and would highly recommend it to friends and family. Thank you.

- Mrs Sharpe, June 2012
Mr Meltzer December 2011

“Stunning, secluded location, great views.”

Peaceful and quiet. Cozy and characterful cottage, comfortably furnished with some nice antique pieces to reflect the age of the property, very homely. Loved the fireplace and so did the dogs! Xmas tree and decorations were a lovely touch. Owners friendly and accommodating. Beautiful surrounding area with quaint villages and towns. Good pubs and tea rooms, very dog friendly area.

It was exactly what we wanted for a short break. Only 5 minutes from Kirkby Lonsdale and 25 minutes from Kendal. We were also allowed to take our two dogs at a small extra fee of £10 for the second pooch. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. The owners were very accommodating.

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’.
