Lanshaw House

Very comfortable accommodation situated in such a peaceful setting.

Enjoyed everything about our stay, from the warmth of the Aga, the gorgeous window seats watching the wildlife and the huge bath to relax in after a walk on the dales. Should have booked for longer.

We have stayed in cottages for many years and this was the best ever, the most well equipped, maintained beautiful house with every need catered for.

Beautifully decorated it was absolutely amazing without any negatives at all. Our hosts Ian and Gill were lovely, had an amazing welcome pack with lots of goodies and even offered to pay for a meal out when our stove went off for a couple of hours, he came straight away to sort it out. Breathtaking views and gardens and 2 lovely dogs Pip and Dot so well behaved kept our grandson occupied. Very sad to leave such a beautiful place would highly recommend.

If you're looking to get away from the stresses of daily life, this is the perfect place.

The accommodation is homely, comfortable and clean, giving a feeling of instant calm. The welcome basket was a generous addition and was overflowing with local produce and treats. The rooms are cosy modern with acres of space and tasteful soft furnishings adding to the comfort level. I could have spent a day just sitting on the many window seats, watching the views! The kitchen was well equipped and spotless and the amazing bathroom was spacious. I particularly enjoyed being able to watch sheep outside from the shower! The grounds were immaculate and we had the company of sheep, cows and many rabbits along with swifts and a resident peacock. All adding to the idyllic setting. My only small criticism would be the aga which, although stunning and completely in keeping with the decor of the property, threw out an amazing amount of heat constantly and became a little stifling in the June heat. Location wise, the 3 peaks are nearby as is the Forest of Bowland with a lovely reservoir circular walk. It's about an hours' drive to the Lake District and the Settle to Carlisle railway is a short drive away. There are fine dining restaurants in Clitheroe, of particular mention is the Freemason's at Wiswell and the Three Fishes in Clitheroe. A perfect getaway.

A beautiful cottage with amazing views, spotlessness clean and so welcoming.

The owners were incredibly friendly and made our stay extra special by taking our grandchildren to feed the lamb and see the coast, they were lovely people. It was a perfect place and we made wonderful memories.

Wow !

!what a beautiful house.The house is immaculate, views out of every window looking out on beautiful countryside. Lovely garden.The house has everything you need the owners very friendly and welcoming, the hamper that was left for us was lovely surprise, we had never cooked on a Aga before but soon got used to it and I loved doing my toast on it in the mornings.The peacock was amazing .

Ian and Jill were excellent hosts and super friendly.

The property is exceptional in every respect. The attention to detail and overall quality is more than five stars. It is beautifully thought out and the standard of design and finish is amazing, immaculate throughout. Very snuggly large beds. The views from inside and outside are fantastic. So nice to see bunnies and sheep every morning. So warm and inviting. Thanks, JP and CJ.

Superb property, highly characterful and luxurious.

We had a great time out in the amazing countryside.

This is the third or fourth time we've stayed at Lanshaw, and it won't be the last.

This time it was in a wintry setting and it was lovely watching the sunrise and sunset on the good weather days we had there. It is inspirational and spectacular. Dress accordingly, at sunrise it was minus 4 (Feb - UK in frozen spell). The property has an Aga, which we always use. I really like doing slow cooked stews in the bottom oven. Put it in, leave all day. Eat when hungry. Our kids have special needs, they are both autistic, with ADHD to add to their occasional randomness. Whatever the weather, internet here is very good, super fast fibre. Unusual for such a remote location. More than happy to push the little blighters out of the front door and say don't get lost. Very safe. Nearest shop/village 7 mins drive (Bentham). It is walkable too, we've done it with under 10s, and there is a large, geologically significant stone on the way. We are a family of four, and there was ample space for us lot not to see each other if we all wanted space. The bathrooms are lovely, more than we could afford at home. The whole house has been designed to take in as much of the views as possible... you'll see! The kids love Dot and Pip the sheepdogs. Our Jessica was as black as Pip when they'd finished playing ball on the fields! I think we've been Easter, Autumn, and Winter now, so I think for 2027, it will be in Summer time.

Lanshaw House provides perfect accommodation in a wonderfully peaceful location.

The interior of the house has been restored and furnished to a very high standard and is a joy to live in. Ian and Gill are great hosts, friendly and helpful whilst not being obtrusive. The local area provides a wealth of walks and (strenuous) bike rides around the quiet but hilly lanes with plenty of great tearooms for lunch stops. The Bentham railway line also provides convenient travel for days out.

Property was lovely and very welcoming.

Everything presented as listed. The owners were super nice and helpful. The area is quite remote but very peaceful. We Would recommend and definitely would stay again

Lanshaw House is the perfect location for those looking to explore the dales.

Beautiful views of Ingleborough and easy access to Bentham, Ingleton and other surrounding villages. Both the interior and exterior of the house are stunning, we enjoyed cooking with the AGA and looking out over the farmland. The hamper of local goods was a lovely touch. We will be returning to this property for another relaxing stay :)

The property was perfect, great location for either the Yorkshire three peaks, Malham Cove, Lake Windermere and much more.

The scenery from the property was stunning. The owners were a wonderful couple. The house was spotless, a cottage feeling yet modern at the same time. We will be going back in the near future.

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Very relaxing, and the hosts were a lovely couple. Seeing the newborn lambs was an added bonus.

We’ve had a lovely time.

The house is gorgeous and has everything you’ll need. The owners were lovely.

An outstanding holiday home in a stunning location.

Super friendly and helpful owners. A perfect base from which to explore Lancashire, Yorkshire and The Lake District. The holiday was so enjoyable we have already booked for 2 more stays in 2025.

Exquisite property and extremely welcoming hosts.

The views and location were beautiful. Highly recommend.

A beautiful detatched property in a quiet rural setting away from roads but with spectacular views all round.

The owners are very friendly and helpful but also respected our privacy. It was our second visit.

Both the house and the surroundings are beautiful.

We will definitely be back in October - thank you

A wonderful house that has been refurbished with flair, and with warmth and comfort to the fore.

A beautiful bath (I am not a shower person) with views! And what views! I know the area from 20-30 years ago but have not been back until now. How lovely to have window seats…..again those views. And an Aga! I know from experience how chilly it can get in The Pennines and May is often a particularly unpredictable time. The Aga was a special bonus. Plenty of space for parking next to the property; that is an essential requirement for me. And a generous welcome hamper of “goodies”! Ian and Jill are to be congratulated on creating such a delightful and welcoming property. Ann

Absolutely excellent property.

The house is warm and welcoming. The cleanliness is second to none. There wasn't a spec of dirt on the floors. The house has everything you need with the added bonus of a dishwasher and Aga. The owners are friendly and incredibly helpful, very approachable and just genuinely nice people.

A glorious farmhouse and our stay far exceeded expectations.

The property was modern, well designed and excellently equipped. Outside, the uninterrupted glorious views must rate as some of the best in Britain: to the west the Lake District, to the East, the three great peaks of the Yorkshire Dales. To cap it all, fabulously friendly hosts. Overall, what a find!

Lanshaw is the perfect cottage to stay The views and Pat the peacock made our stay even more enjoyable Would highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lanshaw House and would highly recommend - the pictures really don’t do it justice.

The property is beautifully appointed and cosy, hosts (and resident farm animals) all very welcoming, stunning sunsets looking out to the Lake District and great location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes. Would love to return.

It is the second time we have stayed at Lanshaw House and we loved it just as much this time.

The house is beautifully decorated with stunning views and a lovely interior. The location seems remote but is within easy access of Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle and many other places. We got the opportunity to meet some of the lambs and our children adored playing with Pip and Dot- the farm dogs. They have already been asking when we are going back- a real hit with the whole family.

This is beautiful home with top class facilities and furnishings.

We had a wonderful stay. You can see the thought and care thats gone into this home to make it a superb stay for visitor's. Lanshaw House is surrounded by stunning scenery and a short drive to some great villages and tourist attractions. Thank you for all the little treats on our arrival. Theses were a lovely touch. We will be back

This was the second time we have stayed at Lanshaw House and we love it.

Excellent in every respect and the owner's new puppy put the icing not he cake. We will definitely be coming to stay again int he future

Very comfortable property in a wonderful location even in February.

Hosts very friendly. Check in and check out was seamless. Would recommend this property very much. Look forward to returning in the future. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

A beautiful cottage in the most wonderful of locations.

A great attention to detail in the cottage which was really appreciated. Comfy beds with lovely bedding. Will definitely go back in the sunshine!

2nd year running having Christmas at Lanshaw House.

Once again superb stay and Ian was an excellent host. Facilities excellent and we would happily return again.

What a find, set in a great location with friendly hosts.

Extremely comfortable with everything you need. Finished to a very high standard. The children loved the sheep, cows and peacock! Will definitely be going back.

Beautiful house in a lovely peaceful location.

Plenty of walking and cycling from the door, with lots to explore in the area when the weather was kind to us. Warm and comfortable on the occasions when the weather was less kind (Storm Debi) and we needed to escape it. Ian and Gill are great hosts, friendly and helpful, with out being obtrusive - many thanks to you both.

Better than expected lovely cottage

The house is stunning.

Everything was perfect- from the comfort of the beds, to the facilities in the kitchen. The house was clean and beautifully presented. The window seats are an added bonus- for sitting and reading or looking out at the scenery which is stunning. We left after a week knowing that we will return. An amazing, relaxing week.

An absolutely beautiful cottage completely surrounded by countryside which made for such a peaceful stay!

Walks from the cottage and also close to The Lake District and the Dales! The owners are attentive but discreet! Would not hesitate to stay again!

A spacious and luxurious property in a stunning location.

Tranquillity and blissful quiet yet only a few minutes from the nearest village. House has everything you need for a comfortable stay, the welcome hamper was extensive and generous, and the owner very friendly and helpful, whilst respecting privacy. We hope to be back soon.

A very comfortable property in a beautiful rural and quiet setting with sheep and cows close by.

Owners very friendly and helpful. Would recommend highly.

First class accommodation in a stunning location.

A historic property renovated to the highest modern standards internally including a fully equipped kitchen and rainfall showers (perfect when returning from a walk), plus a well-tended garden to sit in with a drink and watch the sun set. Ian and Julie are welcoming hosts. Peacock displays are a bonus. Highly recommended and we will book again.

We thought the property was perfect, just what we hoped for.

Great accommodation, great host.

We appreciated all the little thoughtful additions and we look forward to visiting again.

Ian & Jill were fabulous hosts.

Meg, Pat & Pip were also delightful. This is the nicest place with the most stunning location that I have ever found in the Sykes portfolio. I will definitely rebook..

Really enjoyed our stay at Lanshaw house.

The farmhouse has everything we needed and more for a very comfortable break. Super comfy beds, wonderful shower in the main bathroom and toasty warm throughout our stay. Stunning views from every window of gorgeous countryside and we loved watching the lambs in the field. The welcome basket was a wonderful extra too.

Beautiful property.

Comfortable, warm and welcoming. Very restful environment. Friendly and helpful owners. My only suggestion would be that shower mats and hand holds would be helpful for people that have problems with balance.

Lanshaw House is a lovely house and is finished to a high standard, we enjoyed our stay and Ian & Jill made us very welcome and when you arrive you are greeted with a lovely Hamper and when you look out any window you have a fantastic view of the countryside.

We found the location great for Visiting the Lakes and towns Like Skipton. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful house in a stunning location!

We had a fabulous time - thank you!

A wonderful house in a superb location, furnished to a high standard and with everything required in the kitchen and laundry (for muddy walking clothes).

Ian and Jill were friendly and knowledgeable hosts. The beautiful Christmas tree was a particularly welcome touch. We will book again.

Superb property with excellent hosts.

Couple of issues due to weather being being windy and Ian sorted as quick as he could. So peaceful but plenty to do within easy driving distance.

Lanshaw House is in a lovely peaceful location with fine views from both the front and back of the house.

The building has recently been refurbished and is furnished to an exceptionally high standard, retaining key elements of the building's history but making it a very comfortable place to stay. The owners, Ian & Jill live in the converted barn next door and were friendly and helpful. Great place to stay where you can walk and cycle from the door. We have already booked again for next year.

You created the most wonderful holiday home- so cosy and with so much eye for detail.

I shall particularly miss 'my window seat' and the glorious views. Thank you for your kind hospitality and the most generous welcome hamper, we appreciate it a lot. Loads more to discover in this area and we will be back!

Wonderful stay, beautiful house & location.

We will be back.

A lovely relaxing bank holiday weekend had by all in this delightful cottage.

A beautiful setting in which to explore this scenic part of the country. We would definitely return & recommend you to friends & Family

Thank you for being the most wonderful hosts.

The whole experience was amazing. It felt like home away from home. Such care and attention to make us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. We will be sad to be leaving the beautiful farm & the people who run it. Thank you so much for having us.

Our warmest thanks to our dear hosts for opening their home and farm to us.

We loved being here. The house catered to all our needs and provided us with much needed rest & recuperation. We felt honoured to meet the new calf & we all enjoyed the sheep, dogs, cows & peacock, a far cry from our bustling normal town life. Lanshaw provided an excellent location for Malham Cove, Windermere & Tarn Hows. We would very much like to visit again.

We absolutely adored our time at Lanshaw & don't want to leave.

The owners were so welcoming, friendly and have everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed our trips out to Turbary Woods Owl & Hawk Centre, Morecambe Bay, Gretna Green, Betty's Tea Room @ Harrogate, Helmsley, Goathland (Heartbeat Country), Haverthwaite steam trains, Lake cruise on Windermere, & Ilkley Moor to name but a few. Thanks so much, hope to be back soon. PS Loved being welcomed by gorgeous dogs & the peacock!

We were very impressed with the comfort and quality of the cottage

What an amazing stay!

Outstandingly presented & finished property, in such peaceful & beautiful surroundings. Ian & Jill were the perfect hosts - not intrusive at all, but there when we wanted to chat or ask them a question. The welcome hamper was a thoughtful and generous touch, and the comfort and quality of everything in the house meant that we didn't want to venture very far! Very comfortable beds, with cloudy soft pillows; cracking showers; amazing Aga; cute window seats; use of the garden area for relaxation.... just perfect :)

Amazing property and great hosts!

Couldn't ask for a better weekend break. The owner even let my little boy into the field see the cows while they were being fed. Wouldn't hesitate to book again and hope to be back again in the not too distant future!

Everything and more was thought of in this property.

Comfy beds, modern bathrooms and well equipped kitchen. Welcome hamper had such a personal touch- thinking of everything Property is in a fantastic location for exploring Lancashire, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Couldn’t fault the property in any way. Thank you Ian and Jill for a lovely stay. You thought of everything!

This is your best kept secret.

The farmhouse has been renovated to a very high standard with quality furnishings. The owners Ian and Gill should be proud of what they achieved at Lanshaw. It was home from home and they even did a food hamper of essentials on arrival and they were very helpful hosts. You need to reiterate the locations proximity to the dales lakes and coast are all easy to access from here. It is also good for walkers and bird watchers. It is in a peaceful location so is good for touring or relaxation holiday.

A fabulous house with everything you could need set in the most stunning countryside.

We are definitely coming back! Glorious location - felt like we were on top of the world! wonderful, friendly hosts and a warm welcome!

Thanks Ian & Jill for sharing this house.

It’s wonderful in a great location, the views are amazing. We enjoyed golf in Bentham & Giggleswick. Walks at Ingleton Waterfalls & Malham cove. The beaches at Blackpool and Morecambe. A pint in the Tan Hill pub. Sweets in the old shop in Pately Bridge. A sheepdog demonstration and Wensleydale cheese in Hawes and far too many ice creams from the Milking Parlour in Kirkby Lonsdale and everywhere in between.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house for my 30th birthday celebration relaxing with my friends.

The house is beautifully done and attention to detail is the best I’ve seen. We loved being in such a fantastic location for both the Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales. We will definitely be back to stay again with family, Thank you!
