“We loved our stay at hawkriigg cottage.”

Right between the lakes and the dales meant it was a great base to explore and get the most out of our holiday. Kirkby Lonsdale only a couple of minutes by car was lovely with a nice array of shops and pubs. Also a great river for the hotter weather, the kids loved paddling! The cottage itself was exactly as described, bright and spacious, finished really nicely and right in the middle of a working dairy farm. And although it was a working farm you wouldn’t really know it most of the time, it still felt fairly secluded and peaceful and a great place to relax. If in the area in the future would love to stay again.

“We love privacy and peace and quiet.”

The house was very nice inside. We didn't realise we were right in the midst of a 'working farm' and milking started at 5 or 6 am daily. I was disappointed there was no private garden. Photos can be a little deceptive. Also there was a complex Lune Valley Lodges just behind our cottage, part of the same concern. Thankfully we weren't disturbed by them, but we would not have chosen to be within earshot. The owner was friendly when she returned from holiday midweek.

“The cottage was well furnished.”

The kitchen had more utensils, etc. than one normally finds in self catering accomodation. Instructions for using all the kitchen appliances were available. The owner came to check we were settled in, she was lovely and very helpful. I would totally recommend this cottage. We have a son and daughter ages 7 and 9 and they both loved their room and the games, books, etc. available to them in the cot room or playroom as they called it! Sky sports and movies were brilliant bonus and the wifi signal didn't falter once.
Mrs Mizen May 2019

“Hawkrigg Cottage is absolutely lovely.”

Set in a beautiful area with stunning views from the windows. Lovely to see the cows go for milking and the lambs, dogs and hens. The cottage is very comfortable - especially the bed! We slept so well in this quiet location. When the sun shone it was very warm - like sitting in a greenhouse. Great shower and heating too. Ideally placed to visit the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales. We also visited Blackpool Tower Ballroom - just an hour down the motorway and a must for Strictly fans! Emma (and Nellie the dog) were very friendly and on hand should you need anything. Definitely return to this lovely cottage.
Mr Green April 2019

“A very pleasant retreat with a stunning view across Lunesdale to the Dales beyond.”

There are some very good eateries in Kirkby Lonsdale.

It was a really lovely cottage with wonderful views of the countryside, however the living area was not the most comfortable to sit in and lacking for three people
Mrs Brooks November 2018

“The cottage was perfect for our family get away.”

Our children loved staying on a working farm and seeing the cows come up for milking. The location was everything we wanted with stunning views and walks. We will definitely come back.
Mr Mackenzie October 2018

“The cottage was lovely.”

The location, not hard to find and really nice. The layout of the interior was pretty cool and there was plenty in the cottage to do. As soon as we arrived the owner was round to welcome us. Nice stay and would go again.
Mrs Barber September 2018

“The owner is very friendly.”

The views are glorious and change with the weather and time of day. Would never get tired of looking at them. It is a perfect base between lakes and Yorkshire dales so could visit both.
Mrs Coleman September 2018

“Amy came to meet us shortly after our arrival & then we were then left to enjoy our holiday without interruption but knowing if we had a problem they were nearby.”

An ideal cottage for unwinding from our usually hectic weekly routines. Another lovely holiday cottage through Sykes.
Mrs Easterbrook August 2018

“This cottage was perfect for our family, two adults and a 6 & 3 year old.”

The bathroom is so luxurious and the living space is comfortable, modern and well equipped for families. We spent many happy hours relaxing there. The view is beautiful and we were made to feel so welcome by the adjacent house (the owners). The cottage is well located - you can go for walks from the cottage itself, or drive into near Kirkby Lonsdale for an ice cream or some shopping. We can't wait to book again!
Ms Gregory July 2018

“We had a beautiful stay at Hawkrigg.”

The views are spectacular and there's so much to do nearby. Huge favourites were the Ingleborough trail and cave and driving out over the Yorkshire dales to Hawes. Kirkby Lonsdale is a lovely town - we particularly enjoyed walking along the river by the devil's bridge up to Ruskin's view, as well as trips to Lancaster and Morecombe. The cottage itself is very comfortable, with lovely little touches like books and games for the children, and Emma was very welcoming and helpful. The attic bedroom did get a little warm at times, but was more than compensated for by the lovely shower!

“Hawkrigg Cottage is excellent”

We stayed at Hawkrigg for a short business trip. Everything went like clockwork from start to finish. Directions were good and key collection easy peasy on arrival. The location is delightful and the views from the living room are breath-taking. Emma popped in to check if everything was ok when we got there and was on hand if we needed anything. She was extremely friendly and helpful and even left us a bottle of wine and some (very indulgent!) cake! We would definitely recommend Hawkrigg. It is clean, new and beautifully decorated. As the twin room upstairs is under a gable it would probably be more suited to children, however my sister slept in the upstairs room and managed just fine.
Linda L January 2015

“Fantastic place”

We stayed here the first week in January for 1 week. It really is the most fantastic place. The cottage was immaculate and spacious and the views were amazing. Emma and family were so helpful and friendly made us feel very welcome and even left us a cake. We stayed in the cottage for most of the week as we just wanted to chill out and this was a perfect setting to relax . We did visit Kirkby Lonsdale which was a lovely little place and just a short drive from the cottage. We would definitely come back again.

“A home away from home.”

Upon finding Hawkrigg Cottage, which was made simple by great directions, we unpacked our bags and pretty much immediately felt at home. The cottage itself is finished to a very high standard, was immaculate and to top it off there was a homemade cake in the kitchen for us that was fantastic and a bottle of wine in the fridge. 1st impressions count; the cottage made a good start and didn't falter throughout our whole stay. Ideally situated between the Lakes and the Dales, it was great for day trips to either and it was always a pleasure to return to the cottage, cook dinner and have a night in front of the TV. If you have a desire to eat out, the village of Kirkby Lonsdale is a few minutes drive down the road and has a number of good places to eat. We genuinely couldn't have been more pleased with the cottage and would go back tomorrow if we could. If you're looking for a cottage to base yourself then I recommend Hawkrigg Cottage, it's everything you need and a ridiculous bargain.

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’.
