Town: Mid way between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District and in the heart of the Lune Valley, the attractive market town of Kirkby Lonsdale makes an excellent spot for a family vacation. Mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, this lovely town holds a 13th Century market charter, a tradition that still continues every Thursday. Market day is an ideal opportunity for visitors to explore the variety of distinctive shops in the town or the many 17th and 18th Century buildings that can be seen throughout the settlement.

Very good

We chose this property based on the descriptive of being an idyllic retreat. Having arrived I looked out of the main lounge window to see a half naked man in the garden of his property (?) which was not shown in the photos and was situated close to the side of the cottage. Said gent then decided to mow his lawn for 45 minutes- idyllic not!
Cottage is clean but looking tired in certain areas. Location (other than being closed in by unexpected neighbours) lovely and close to Kirkby Lonsdale.
