Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean'. This indicates a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, being close to amenities and ideal for golfers, which suggests a very desirable setting for visitors looking to explore the area.
While the beds are described as comfortable, there are several complaints about the lounge furniture being uncomfortable. The comfort level seems to vary significantly between different areas of the property.
The facilities are generally good, especially on the upper floors. However, the kitchen is described as basic and the lounge as dark with old furniture. There were also minor issues with hot water and the parking space, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There is a lack of consistent mention of gifts or extra touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. One review mentioned the absence of a welcome pack, but as this is not a recurring theme, it's not possible to accurately assess this category.

Kirkby Lonsdale is a charming market town located in the Lune Valley, halfway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. The town has a 13th-century Market Charter and was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Today, Thursday is market day, giving tourists the chance to explore the town's unique independent stores and numerous still-standing structures from the 17th and 18th centuries. Additionally, the town was a nominee for the 2016 High Street of the Year Award. Turner loved to visit this area of the Lune Valley, and Ruskin made it renowned; his "view" of the valley is still breath-taking.

Parked my car in the space couldnât open the doors and no-one could walk past the car. My parents and sister had similar properties and were provided with parking permits. For the cost a parking permit should have been included. They also received welcome packs, which would have been a nice touch. The first night we slept terribly as the quilt was in the cover the wrong way round, which I rectified on the second night. It was a nice property, but I would stay at one of the others my family had stayed at, as they were nicer.
