“Lovely cottage :) the children particularly loved watching the cows coming out of the barn on a morning.”

Thank you!

Thank you!

Tracey August 2021

“From the moment we stepped through the front door of the cottage it felt warm and welcoming, smelled amazing and was spotlessly clean.”

We had lots of goodies waiting for us in the kitchen too. Beds were really comfy and there were plenty of useful kitchen bits for self catering. The views from the lounge and kitchen windows are amazing and the cows were so well behaved that we never heard them, although it was nice to watch them come and go from the milking shed. (No smells or flies either!) Hosts were really friendly and helpful and checked in with us the morning after we arrived and chatted to us if our paths crossed during the week. Would definitely recommend stay here again.

“Hawkrigg Cottage is very clean, comfortable and had all the facilities we needed for a home away from home break.”

Emma is very warm and welcoming. The cottage has amazing views and a lovely sheltered courtyard that gets the afternoon sun. The cottage is set in the middle of a working farm but it is still incredibly peaceful. We would love to go back.

Stephen June 2021

“Located on a working farm with stunning views over the beautiful Lune valley, it's position offers peace & quiet yet near enough to both the Yorkshire Dales & the Lake District for those wishing to explore.”

The cottage is finished to an exceptionally high standard with equal attention to all your self catering needs, nothing seems to have been overlooked. Emma and family are very welcoming and on hand to help with local suggestions on walks, places to eat etc. All in all an ideal holiday home.

“The views from the property were awesome.”

The owners of the farm were really friendly and it was nice to see the cows go into the milking parlour every day! Fantastic location to visit both The Dales and The Lakes. The property was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

Philippa May 2021

“Our 2nd holiday at Hawkrigg.”

A lovely cottage with stunning views. Very rural and peaceful yet within easy reach of The Lake District and The Yorkshire Dales. Great to see the cows come in and go out and also the lovely dogs. Emma is very friendly and welcoming. Will certainly be back for a 3rd visit!

- Philippa, May 2021

“A spotlessly clean and very well designed and equipped cottage that makes the best possible use of the available space using split levels.”

Owner Emma was very helpful and welcoming.The cottage is very comfortable and has stunning views out across the farmyard to the valley and fells beyond. Nearby Kirkby Lonsdale is a lovely village with several excellent ice cream shops and a wonderful bakery.

“Our week at Hawkrigg cottage was perfect.”

The cottage on a working farm is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The view from the large window Was amazing and wonderful to get up to each morning. The cottage has excellent facilities. We had a very warm welcome from Emma who was very helpful. We hope to visit again.

- Raymond, September 2020
Paul July 2020

“Our second visit to this fabulous cottage, and just as good as we expected from first time.”

Lovely views, close to lots of activities, lovely countryside, and a friendly welcome. The cottage is in great condition and has everything you might need as a base to explore, or to sit out a rainy day! Hopefully we’ll be back again...

- Paul, July 2020
Catherine July 2020

“The cottage is in a stunning location, perfectly situated for exploring the Dales and southern Lakes.”

“Nice cottage great view across valley and hills .”

Owner was a lovely lady very helpful

David August 2019

“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.

- David, August 2019
Juliet August 2019

“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.

- Juliet, August 2019
Sara June 2019

“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.

- Sara, June 2019
Philippa 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.

- Philippa, May 2019
Alan April 2019

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

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

Fiona 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.

Kenny 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.

- Kenny, October 2018
Margaret 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.

- Margaret, September 2018
Anne 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.

- Anne, September 2018
Gemma 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!

- Gemma, August 2018
Karen 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!

- Karen, July 2018
Anne April 2018

“We enjoyed the farm location, watching the various farming activities.”

The views from the cottage were stunning and the building was a sun trap. At times it was like sitting in a conservatory. Good attention was paid to providing colourful plants in pots around the cottage. The family were welcoming and friendly.

- Anne, April 2018

Emily February 2018

“Had a lovely week at Hawkrigg Cottage; the cottage itself was beautiful, very modern and well decorated and very clean, equipped with everything we needed for the week.”

The view from the cottage was absolutely stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed being situated on a working farm and being surrounded by plenty of animals. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of information on things to do whilst we were there. Kirkby Lonsdale is 3 miles away and is easy to walk to with lots of beautiful views along the way and had a range of things to do and see, and is worth a visit. All in all an excellent trip away, would highly recommend!

- Emily, February 2018
Heather February 2018

“This cottage was absolutely perfect.”

Nestled against the hills with an amazing view, it couldn't have been more perfect for our purpose, which was a writing retreat. The welcome we received was lovely, and the property was warm and cosy when we went in. The kitchen is brilliant and fantastically equipped. The television even has Sky which was a bonus. The bedrooms are comfortable with ample storage. The local area is just beautiful, perfect for walkers or anybody looking for a nice, peaceful getaway from the chaos of modern life. I would definitely return.

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’.
