  • "We had a lovely stay over Christmas, the cottage had been decorated and had a very warm and cosy feeling."

    Our children had a lovely time and enjoyed all the extra games/toys in the “playroom”. We had everything we needed but was also very helpful to know the host was just next door if we required anything! The views were beautiful, and our children enjoyed watching the tractors and farm animals from the large windows. The cottage is set in a quiet and peaceful area with walks from the door but also conveniently located for day trips out to visit other local areas. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others 100%. Thank you to Emma & family for allowing us to stay in your cottage, we made some lovely memories x

  • "A lovely cottage in a great location."

    I would 100% recommend booking this property! Emma is super friendly and helpful and is always willing to advice on everything!! There is a large folder that has been carefully put together giving information on absolutely everything you would need that is available locally including walks, days out, cinemas, takeaways, shops and lots more The property is small and comfy and has all the facilities needed. The views from the cottage are superb and a joy to wake up to every morning. We loved seeing the cows going to be milked twice a day and the very hardworking dogs keeping them in check. Kirkby Lonsdale is only a short drive away and has some lovely shops, bars and restaurants. We had a fantastic day at Ingleton Waterfalls. With a close drive to everything it’s really worth booking!!! Thank you so much ❤️

    Great views, close proximity to various points of interest. Good for cycling and walking. Short distance to the caves or The Lakes in the Lake District area. Even if the weather isn't the best, there's always something to do in the Dales. The host of very useful and nice, we even joined a sports fair in the village on the Jubilee day.

  • "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.

  • "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.

  • "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.

    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!

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".
