Self-Catering Hill Bank in Kendal

The house was spacious, comfortable and homely.. The three bathrooms were useful for a large group of adults; also having two sitting rooms meant people could pursue different activities. The kitchen area was well equipped, with a table large enough to comfortably seat eight people. The porch and utility areas were very useful for extra storage. The weather wasn't wonderful, but Hill Bank was a nice space to spend time in; the log burner being a lovely feature. There are lots of sitting areas outside, which will be lovely when the weather is good. The welcome pack, with freshly baked chocolate cake, was a treat on arrival, and was very much appreciated. We love the area and keep coming back to it. Kirkby Lonsdale has lots of interesting, independent shops and there are great places to eat both there, and in surrounding villages. There are plenty of walks to take from Hutton Roof and of course there is the beautiful scenery to admire. The property was good value for money and we all enjoyed our week there. We would thoroughly recommend it, and hope to return soon. Drivers, I recommend following the owner's directions to get there ( I followed the SAT NAV) and ended up on a narrow lane, where passing another car would be extremely difficult.

Just to say what a fabulous house to stay in.. We came for the weekend with my daughter and her family to celebrate her 40th birthday. From walking through the door, the cleanliness and furnishings of this property stood out. The welcome pack was super, water, wine, cake, bread etc. plus a vase of fresh flowers, what more could we ask for. There was ample crockery and equipment to do whatever you wanted. Games, jigsaws, books - the children loved it. Really was home from home. Wished we could have stayed longer and we have all agreed that we would have to go back sometime. Would definitely recommend 100%.

We had a fabulous stay at Hill Bank.. The hosts were extremely generous with the welcome pack, the house was immaculate, so much bigger than expected. We had a wet but great weekend made very special by a trip to the Xmas markets and afternoon tea in Kirby Longsdale. We will definately be returning to this cottage again. Kimberley

Wonderful location, we were able to walk into Kirkby Lonsdale by a back route.. Lovely home made cake and other goodies Warm, comfortable, sitting room much bigger than it looks on the photo Fantastic to have 3 bathrooms. Might miss a garden in the summer, but no problem in winter. Also very near field and woods if children need a run around Some written info on recycling would be helpful No negative feedback to give!

Really excellent family holiday location.. Exceedingly well equipped. Located within easy reach of the Lakes, Dales, Lancaster and Blackpool. We had a great time with our two daughters and families.

Superb cottage in an idyllic location.. The welcome pack was wonderful ( fruit juice, milk, homemade cakes, artisan bread, jam ) flowers on the table, and fruit bowl was a wonderful touch. It was well equipped with utensils . Games, books and local guides . The beds were comfy , nice fluffy towels available , gogous log burner with logs provided . We wold definitely use this property again . I think the only addition that could be helpful is a clear direction as we struggled to locate the bungalow once in Hutton Roof and needed to ask at the post office . Going into Hutton Roof it was the first cottage on the right opposite the new estate .

The property was an absolute delight, spacious, clean and beautifully decorated which made us feel welcome and comfortable.. We were also extremely impressed with the lovely gesture of the welcome hamper which included home baked cakes and biscuits which were gratefully received.

This is a beautiful house in a lovely setting.. Very comfortable in every way! Loved sitting outside in the early morning with the sun on our backs watching the house martins swoop and dive. The owners were quick to resolve one small problem, and very generous with their Provisions too. Thanks for a much needed relaxing break.

Lovely house in fantastic location with good walks from the house.. Only 10 minutes to Kirkby Lonsdale and 15 to the southern lakes. House was lovely and the welcome pack was a really nice touch with cake and a bottle of wine. Will come again.

Hill Bank is a lovely spacious house.. A real home from home with well chosen furniture. The large kitchen had everything could ever need - not that we cooked much! Thank you for a fantastic welcome pack that included wine and cake. Very thoughtful touch. The house is in a quiet village with access to country walks and close to Kirby Lonsdale for eating out and the lovely shops there. There was a nice well looked after garden to sit and enjoy the hot weather we had. We will definitely recommend to friends to come and stay here and will come back ourselves to visit more of this lovely area.

Lovely cottage.. Very spacious in a fantastic location with superb views. The owner made us a very generous welcome pack which even included home baked treats. The cottage is immaculately clean and extremely tastefully decorated. Close to kirkby lonsdale which we visited. We had 8 adults and 2 infants- the space was perfect with 2 living areas so that we could spread out. The beds were also very comfortable and everyone had a good night's sleep! The hosts were very accommodating ensuring that we had all that we needed to enjoy a special 60th birthday celebration. Would highly recommend and would definitely return to the cottage.

The cottage was very well equipped and beautifully presented.. Just one small point - no instructions re heating. It came on automatically and was perfectly comfortable when on but we wondered whether we needed to adjust it on the first evening.

We were a group of 6 adults and 3 children and stayed comfortably.. It was a beautiful house that was tastefully decorated. The welcome hamper with cakes, chocolates, jam, freshly baked bread and scones was a lovely addition. In addition there was milk, juice and butter in the fridge. The attention to detail by the hosts were exceptional. The only downside was that the washing machine/dryer wasn’t working, but since we were there only for 3 nights it didn’t affect us that much. Will be definitely returning again soon.

This cottage is definitely a home away from home.. We are a group of 9 family friends that spent the Easter bank holiday weekend here and we would definitely recommend it for groups and families. The directions were very clear so we had no issues when arriving. On arrival we were met with a welcome hamper including wine and homemade cakes, a lovely treat. The house is homely, warm, spacious and comfortable. It was only a short drive to the village of Hutton Roof where there were pubs and places to visit. We would love to return!

Beautiful home, artfully furnished.. Plenty of space for all 7 of us. Kitchen has a large dining table which seats 8 and there is a very large and comfortable living room and a conservatory with a TV each. We also brought a Vive VR headset and set it up in the living room. Beds were very comfy. We requested that all the zip link doubles be turned into singles and a few people mentioned it was quite narrow, although this did not really affect our quality of sleep. Kitchen was well stocked with almost everything we needed (no sponges though which made washing up hard! I wish we'd noticed that before we did our shop) and we made good use of it all by cooking several large group meals. The hosts very kindly provided two bottles of wine, some cakes, some home-baked bread, and tea/coffee/milk as well as orange juice so we had something to nibble on as soon as we arrived after our long drive! Very thoughtful. Thank you so much to both the hosts and Sykes Cottages. This is the third time I've booked through Sykes and it's absolutely excellent. :)

I organise a walking weekend twice a year with a group of ladies from work and we struggle to find accommodation with enough beds.. Hill Bank was a fantastic choice for us as all the doubles converted into twin beds meaning non of us had to share. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with access to plenty of walks without having to get in the car. We were very pleasantly surprised to find fresh roses in the kitchen, home made cakes and a welcome basket with wine and other goodies. There was tea, coffee, milk and juices already in the fridge for us which was so welcoming. The house is wonderfully warm with a log burner, under floor heating in the kitchen and lovely warm bedrooms. The cottage had everything we needed for our weekend stay and had a utility room that we weren't aware of when we booked. The bedrooms are a good size as were the beds although one of the twin rooms had beds that would be better suited to children. The porch area was extremely useful for depositing muddy boots and rucksacks. I cannot recommend this cottage enough and a number of people in the group will be looking to book again for family breaks.

Very comfortable house, particularly as we were a motley group! There was plenty of space for the youngsters to play and two sitting rooms, both with tv. sets, proved very useful, especially as the weather was poor and some of our group were unwell. The welcome-pack was very generous. If we were to need a large house again then we would consider booking Hillbank again, but usually we book smaller properties. The only drawback to this house is access: some of the roads are very narrow,single track and full of pot-holes! However, the area is beautiful and the walks,etc. are good for fit and active people.
