We stayed in Honey Cottage for about a week. This is a warm, smart, immaculate and well-appointed rental cottage set in the picturesque street of Mitchelgate. Everything worked well despite the best efforts of Storms Ciara and Dennis. It is within very easy walking distance of the centre of town, (great pubs/restaurants and small shops), and Booth's supermarket, (AKA: "the Waitrose of the North" - although IMHO Waitrose is still behind out of the two) As always in Kirby Lonsdale parking can be a problem, circumvented in this case by the provision of a visitors' parking permit. Parking directly outside of the front door isn't possible although an alcove/wide pavement opposite allows for quick unpacking.

What a lovely little cottage this is. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly and have thought of everything you might need. Is is very tastefully decorated and clean throughout. We all appreciated the bottle of fizz and chocolates - so thoughtful. We'd love to visit again when the weather is better so we can take advantage of the outside patio area. Thank you Heather and Paul. We can't recommend Honey Cottage highly enough.

Very clean and comfy.. In the centre of town yet not on a busy street. Fluffy white towels and crisp white bedding. A bottle Cava and other goodies for our arrival which made the weekend even more special!

We have just spent a lovely weekend here with family. First impressions-ideal location,couple minutes walk into the town which is so pretty with plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants. Beautiful church and walks. The cottage is charming, on our arrival there was Cava, posh chocolates and biscuits. The owners have thought of everything, there was lots of thoughtful touches which just made our stay even more special. Definitely highly recommend Honey cottage and Kirkby Lonsdale and we would definitely visit again !!!!

Mrs Phillips, February 2020

When we arrived there was a bottle of cava, chocolate from the local Bespoke chocolate shop, shortbreads, dog bed, dog treats, dog blankets, left all condiments for tea, coffee and hot chocolate.. They really thought of everything, soaps, toilet rolls, towels; may only be little things but really made a difference. Honey cottage was definitely a home from home. Everywhere was so clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and bedding was ideal. Ample space to store clothes, a gorgeous Big bathroom Which was sparkling. The host was amazing throughout, and even though I have a poorly dog, has still checked in to see how she’s doing. Honey cottage will definitely be having more and more visitors to surround the log fire, as we have told everyone just how amazing our stay was. The little village is so picturesque and had everything on the doorstep. Can not wait to return to Kirkby Lonsdale, Honey Cottage. Thank you for having us and making us so welcome. Perfect break.

Mrs Fairfield, January 2020

Fantastic cottage in the town centre.. Heather the owner supplied logs, chocolates, fizz and dog treats. The cottage was clean and still had the original features, I would definitely recommend to others and stay again in the future.

Absolutely perfect! The cottage was everything and more than we expected. We thought the location was brilliant, the standard of everything within the cottage was first class and the owners could not have been more obliging. Thanks for a great holiday!

Mr Stevenson, November 2019

We had a lovely time at Honey cottage.. The cottage has everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. Very close to the village of Kirkby Lonsdale, which was a bonus. Heather the host was very accommodating and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you

The owner Heather was extremely helpful, she answered any questions within minutes.. The cottage had basics like washing up liquid, foil, cling film, bin bags, tabs for dishwasher and logs for 1 fire. There was also a bottle of champagne, milk, biscuits and a few tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Which I thought was a wonderful touch. There was plenty games, we loved the ‘logo game’ and books DVDs etc. It’s centrally located, had parking permit too. My husband and I have stayed in all the hotels in Kirby Lonsdale and they are lovely but I’d definitely stay here again it was fab

Miss Tomiczek

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage which felt like home away from home.. It had everything we needed - plenty of crockery, cutlery & glassware and more than the essentials which meant cooking Christmas dinner was a breeze! The utility area & rear entrance to the garden was perfect for cleaning off the dog. Shower was fantastic & the beds very comfortable. Plenty of mirrors too for those of us that like to check our entire outfit from head to toe. There is a lovely wood burner for extra cosiness although the heating worked really well. Everything was very clean. Location is also great. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We couldn’t have asked for more and would definitely recommend this cottage!

Ms Lund

Checking in to our cottage was really easy, a simple phone call to get the key safe number.. Our cottage was so welcoming - with biscuits, tea, milk and a bottle of Cava too ! Everything we needed to make a meal was available in the well-appointed kitchen, and later, we sank in to our comfortable beds for a good nights sleep. The location of the cottage is perfect being a short walk from the nearby supermarket and the main street with all of its lovely shops and inviting pubs. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many walks you can do straight from the cottage. It's also worth mentioning that the cottage has access by foot, from the rear to the utility room - very useful if your walk has been in rather inclement weather. There is room for muddy boots and a rack above the radiator for wet jackets to dry. There is also a table and chairs outside to enjoy if you are lucky enough to get good weather !

Mrs Kingsley

Lovely cottage with all amenities.. Great location in the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale, close to shops, pubs and restaurants. Owner was great with communication on all aspects of our stay. Would definitely return..

We had a very lovely long weekend away staying at Honey Cottage.. The cottage was beautiful, comfortable and our hosts left us with basic kitchen needs so had we been late getting in, we still could've had tea in the morning! We loved everything about the cottage and hope we can come back to stay again. We did a lot of touring (Blackpool one day & Lake Windermere the next) so we didn't get a chance to experience Kirkby-Lonsdale enough. We will definitely plan to come back someday. Thank you SO much for your hospitality.

Lovely cottage, wine and shortbread a treat! Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The owner of the cottage obviously wants those staying to feel very welcome.

Honey Cottage is perfectly situated to explore all of Kirkby Lonsdale.. It within a few minutes walk to all shops, pubs and restaurants and within an easy stroll to scenic walks which are truly breathtaking. The cottage is wonderful and is fully equipped with everything you require. There are little extra touches everywhere, beautiful fluffy towels and top of range bedding. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and have ample storage and hairdryer in each. The living room is very comfortable with smart tv and good wifi service. The kitchen has everything required and the dishwasher and washing machine came in very useful. The whole cottage is exceptionally clean. Heather was so thoughtful with bedding, treats and even a fluffy towel for our dog. We were kept well informed of all arrangements and given every opportunity to ask for any other information. The welcome wine and shortbread were a lovely treat! Truly 5 star treatment all the way. We hope to return to Honey Cottage very soon.

Mr Dotzenko

We stayed in Honey Cottage for a family and friends get together. The property is centrally located with a lovely patio terrace. We were greeted with a Welcomed bottle of wine for ourselves and a treats, bed etc for our little dog. Beautifully clean with all the bits and bobs that most would need. The owner is extremely helpful and we felt we could contact with queries very easily. We would definitely recommend both Kirby and this property and hope to return. Thanks to Heather the owner.

Ms Quinn

The cottage was wonderful, with great attention to detail.. Nothing was overlooked, high spec home from home. And the terrace was perfect for us and the dogs to have our morning cups and evening Pimms! We loved it so much we have already booked our next stay!

Cottage was excellent in every respect and would definitely stay again..

April 2018

Cottage exactly as described - clean, cosy and comfortable with very smart shower-room.. Great terrace patio when sunny. We found that on street parking really wasn't a starter and bought a 1 week longstay parking ticket on the nearby New Street 2 carpark for only £30, which worked on other carparks in the district and qualified for a small refund at the nearby Booths supermarket- other visitors might like to know about this before they arrive. Unloading and loading in the double yellow lined narrow street outside the cottage was a little fraught - but pedestrians, neighbours and drivers were understanding so it was OK - but it had to be done quickly.

Really do have everything on your doorstep.. Honey Cottage was great as you had a wide selection of restaurants and pubs within few minutes walk and Booths supermarket too. Well equipped and to good standard and even a Smart TV and pretty good WiFi speeds. The owners provide a permit for road parking but spaces are at a premium. We had 2 cars and just bought a weekly car park ticket next to booths so only couple of minutes walk. Heather thinks of everything and was very helpful. Even provided dog bed and blankets plus a bottle of prosecco for the two legged friends! Location extremely convenient for lots of activities. Recommend Holker Hall and Ribble viaduct.

December 2017

Great to return to Honey Cottage and a great cosy week and a fabulous place to stay in the Christmas period as well as the summer months..
