  What a lovely cottage with plenty of room for the whole family.

  We met the owner as we arrived slightly early and she was really friendly and helpful. The cottage was spotlessly clean, full of character and charm. The outside was very pretty with plenty of space to park both cars right by the front door. The garden is contained via low walls and a gate - great for dogs or young children.The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, spotless oven, microwave and lovely to have such a big freezer separate from the fridge. The sitting room was spacious and comfortable with a freeview tv setup. The three bedrooms were clean and pretty - the front bedroom with ensuite shower was particularly light and airy which was helpful as one of our group has very limited sight. The family bathroom was clean and modern with a large good quality shower (although I recommend working out how to turn it on to get hot water before turning it on or you will end up rather chilly - turn the dial round to 3 o'clock). In terms of location, we found it perfect as a real country escape in stunning countryside. There was a very quiet road outside while being only a short drive into the nearby town with all the usual amenities such as supermarket, chemist etc. as well as being surrounded by fabulous walks. Loved the area and would definitely recommend this cottage. We plan to come back!

  Back Cottage is an ideal cottage for the family and the dog.

  It was just the two of us and the dog. It was a very comfortable cottage over 3 floors. More of a town house. Beautiful yorkshire stone building. The view from the top back window (bedroom) is like a painting. Rightly so a stool is in place and you can sit and daydream out the window to such a beautiful view. It is exquisite. The cottage is near Salt Pie Lane. Beautiful cobbled little lane to the main part of Kirby Lonsdale. We have visited Kirby Lonsdale a lot and will definitely go back to Back Cottage. Very clean, very comfortable, very well cared for. It has everything you need for a short break. So much to do and see in Kirby Lonsdale and this cottage is ideal for anyone who has a dog. It has a little back courtyard with a little table and chairs if weather nice you could sit out and have your breakfast although small it is ideal. Our dog loved all the walks around the countryside and beyond. Lovely comfy bed on top floor . We did not use bed in middle floor. Beautiful log fire. So we had logs on such a lovely atmosphere in the evening sitting peacefully reading my book. Highly recommended. Top class for a visit for any family and the dog. We will be returning.

  Our holiday, staying in Beckside Cottage has been one of our best.

  On arrival we were delighted to walk into a warm kitchen and the first thing that we saw was a huge WELCOME sign on the shelf. We appreciated the owner’s visit next morning, to make sure everything was okay, and that we had everything we needed. Our stay was in March so the warmth of this cottage was much appreciated. There was a lovely log burner in the sitting room which we never needed to light. Beckside is comfortably furnished with all facilities that we needed. There is no dishwasher but we never use one anyway!! The beds were clean and very comfortable. We had taken our own pillows due to Covid. The garden is enclosed and on the edge of woodland. We put bird food out which encouraged birds to come to the wall. A bird table might be a good addition. Walking in the area is good with fabulous views from the tops. Kirkby Lonsdale, three miles away, is a lovely little town with many interesting historic features, individual shops, a couple of dog friendly cafes, and a weekly market. Don’t miss the ice cream shop!

  The cottage is small but very nice.

  We went when it had snowed and on arrival found a window was open upstairs so it was extremely cold. We read the book and put on the wood burner but weren’t sure about the valves. We found it smoky. Also the burner did not spread to the radiators Uke told us it never gets hot enough for the radiators. This is misleading and should be changed in the book. There were 3 storage heaters, but the front door and front window were draughty. We had to wrap up in blankets and scarves to watch tv and put hot water bottles in the beds and cover them with blankets we found under the beds. If we come again it will be in the summer. There was a known plumbing problem. There was a blockage which cleared whilst we were there but we couldn’t drink the water from the kitchen tap. It came out white. Luckily the host had left us bottled water so we had to use that. We only stayed 2 nights so we managed.

  Beckside cottage is a lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful part of the world.

  The instructions on how to find it we're easy to follow and it was lovely and warm when we first entered. The kitchen is well equipped and a we had everything left to make a fire in the magnificent fireplace. We all loved snuggling up in front of it a night. The only downside and the thing that didn't make this holiday perfect was the bed in the panelled room. I have never had such an uncomfortable sleep. It was like sleeping on a stone bench it was that hard and the duvet just seems so small. Also instructions on how to advance the heating would have been helpful as we had to stay in till late ish one day as my daughter was unwell and it was freezing. All in all we still enjoyed it and hope to return to kirkby Lonsdale as it was such a pretty town and had such lovely people while not being too crammed. It's a good base for both the lakes and the dales.
