“This cottage was really lovely.”

Just what we were hoping for. The owners provided many little things that were that extra mile. The kitchen had everything you might need for a short holiday. It rained most of the weekend and we were very content just to stay inside!

“Excellent hosts, took time to meet and greet our party and left us a most appreciated welcome pack (including a delicious home-made chocolate cake).”

Cottage was very clean and cosy and met all the needs of everyone in our party. Excellent for chilling and relaxing and loads of room made even better when we lit the open fire. We will definitely book again.

“Very comfortable, spacious, quiet, close to Lakes, Fells and Dales.”

Exceptionally good position for exploring the surrounding areas. Views from all windows were beautiful. Owners friendly and helpful.

“Lovely cottage, the only point I would make is the hedging at the entrance could be cut back to show sign when driving past, as it is overgrown and covers the sign (hornsbarrow) over and we drove past a couple of times.”

Everything else was just right thank yo

“What a stunning place to stay .”

The views are superb . The homemade cake and jam is a lovely touch , along with the fresh bread , milk and eggs. The only thing I would say is maybe consider investing in summer duvets. The ones on the beds were thick and heavy which in winter are great But made it uncomfortable in the hot weather . However would love to go back and do more exploring

“An amazing holiday home, hosts very welcoming and helpful, extras of chocolate cake, milk, eggs and butter much appreciated and delicious.”

Accommodation very clean, comfortable and spacious with everything needed for a perfect holiday. Utility room was fantastic area for our two dogs. Magnificent views and lovely seating area to enjoy morning coffee. Ideally situated for attractions in the Dales and Lakes. We’ll definitely return and will be recommending to family and friends. To sum up in one word “Perfect”.

- Mrs Violet, May 2018
“Ideally located for visiting The Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales.”

The “Welcome Pack” was appreciated.

“Wonderful cottage in a great location!”

This was our first time in this part of the country and what a find! Hornsbarrow is a brilliant cottage, very spacious and comfortable with outstanding views from the front. The owner was lovely, and gave us some easy directions for a beautiful walk up to Hardcastle Crags right from the front door! There are some really interesting historical features inside, such as 17th century furniture and fittings, and lots of books, DVDs and guides to browse. It was a great location for Kirkby Lonsdale (there is a great walk along the river from there) and further into the Dales as well - we did the Ingleton Waterfalls trail and Malham Cove from here. We were also lucky to have a beautiful barn owl as a regular daytime(!) visitor, which perched on the fence outside. Hornsbarrow is a wonderful cottage which served as a superb base for a family holiday.

The cottage was lovely. The facilities in the cottage were brilliant ,the owners have really thought of everything. The homemade cake and fresh bread left for us on our arrival was a lovely added touch, very thoughtful and kind of the owners. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

“We would like to thank Gill and her Husband for a lovely clean well equipped holiday home.”

We had a warm welcome and a fantastic welcome pack. Hornsbarrow was huge and it allowed us to have family and friends visit. It is also very dog friendly, we met their two Border Terriers who were lovely. I would recommend this Cottage to anyone.

“Fantastic place to stay, very cosy and fantastic welcome pack.”

“Gils hospitality was amazing.”

She made us a lovely cake. Her recommendations about the area were excellent

- Mr Kalia, May 2017
“Little gifts of a Chocolate Cake, Milk, Eggs and home made Jam to welcome you, was a fantastic start, from the begin of our stay with wonderful views across the countryside to the lovely cottage.”

Just watching the new born lambs running about the fields was a treat plus our Hosts were really helpful but not intrusive offering advice about walks to take the dogs on around Kirby Lonsdale, all-in-all a most enjoyable break and would definitely consider another break at this cottage.

- Mr Blockley, March 2017
“Fab Cottage”

This is a brilliant cottage in a marvellous location so central for visiting Dales and the Lakes.We really cannot fault it,super welcome pack and spotlessly clean.10/10 for everything? By the way we had no issues with the WIFI anywhere in the property.

“Great location and outstanding hospitality”

Wonderful, spacious cosy house in a secluded location, although near the main road. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners who live in the adjoining property. They helped us and gave us advice when needed, but did not interfere at all! The house is dog (and cat!) friendly with an outer utility room where we could set up our own cage for the dog and keep all our muddy walking boots from messing up the house. The house is home from home, with everything you could want! It was a pleasure to cook and we enjoyed the open fire in the evenings. There are lots of walks nearby. The limestone pavement and crags are just fantastic and even though we went during the Easter week, it was not crowded at all, unlike the Lakes. The only downside was that with 3 teenagers, we expected better wifi coverage than was actually possible. The wifi only works in a small corner of the house and is very slow indeed. This did not detract from the house overall though, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We loved our time at Hornbarrow, which went far too quickly.

“Absolutely perfect”

The owners are very welcoming, the cottage well equipped and very clean, location is perfect for visiting both the Lake District and Yorkshire dales and for the week was an absolute bargain, will definitely consider visiting again later in the year as still so many good walks local to the cottage.
