  This was our third visit to Wyreside cottages but this time we were in Elsa rather than Balloo, as that was not available for the dates we wanted.

  The cottage was very comfortable and clean and has a freezer department in the fridge, Balloo does not, but no washing machine, there are laundry facilities available in the main house but we did not need them this time. While we were there, there was a serious water leak in the area which meant we had a tiny trickle water for nearly 24 hours but the owner kept us constantly informed as to what was happening with messages forwarded from the water authority and they provided a tanker for the residents of the cottages and did everything they could to help. The only downside I think I should mention is the modern design bath downstairs, it's like sitting in a large pudding basin and is almost impossible to get out of safely if you are over 70, my husband had to help me and we laughed about it for ages afterwards but if you like a good soak to relax it's not ideal, so the two showers available upstairs are recommended. Without babbling on any more we absolutely love Wyreside cottages and can recommend them to all, the area is stunning and peaceful and the owners do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable without being intrusive.

  We stayed in Cosy Cott 22-29th sept 23.

  Kirkby Lonsdale is a very Characterful village with good amenities. Cosy Cottg' is aprox 3 min stroll to Kirkby's main street & 5 min stroll to Booths supermarket. We especially appreciated the high standard of cleanliness, which so many holiday homes lack. It has a high standard of quality furnishings. However, as older people with back problems, we found the seating wasn't comfortable enough for us. The yard isn't pleasant enough to sit in, but was useful for dog toileting. We tried to put the little table up but it was too cumbersome to use and we missed eating at a table. The bed was comfie & was very clean!! The bathroom & shower are lovely. The things that let it down "slightly" for us: parking was hit and miss & sometimes further than we'd like. The bathroom needs a blind for privacy. It would be more comfortable with a small foot stool & rug in the lounge. But overall we recommend this cottg' it's small but very, very nice. 10/10 for hygiene. Thanks to the owners for a lovely stay.

  Although the cottage is situated among a small cluster of cottages some distance from any real village it did not feel remote.

  It was quite spacious and had a superb view through patio doors. In the ground below there were a pair of horses and 4 lovely dogs, and a never-ending display of bird life. We found plenty to do in the area, visiting the Pennine mountains, the lovely Forest of Bowland and by train to the north Morecambe Bay. It is close enough to Settle to take the famous train from Settle to Carlisle and at Silverdale, just beyond Carnforth, there is the RSPB Leighton Moss Reserve. We were blessed with superb weather which just added to a very enjoyable holiday. We ourselves are no longer able to do much walking but it would be an excellent base for walkers. There were no shops nearby and the closest pub was one and half miles away in Low Bentham. There was a welcome tray with half a dozen new-laid eggs to greet us. It proved an excellent holiday. Thank you.

  Tilly’s Cottage is an absolute gem, we highly recommend it and most definitely will be back again!

  The communication from Laura and Rich was fantastic, they provided so much helpful information about the cottage and surrounding area. We stayed for 3 nights with our two children and our dog. We found it so relaxing. The boys loved the games and toys and enjoyed playing in the enclosed garden with our dog. The cottage itself is stunning, really well presented and was very clean. We all found the beds very comfortable and enjoyed snuggling up in-front of the fire after walks along the beach. The location is brilliant, short walks to cafes, pub, shops and beach. Thank you so much for the little arrival treats also. 5 stars from us, we literally have no suggestions or complaints. We can’t wait to visit again soon. Many thanks, The Shawcross Family

  On arrival we instantly felt at home , the grounds were beautiful & much better than the description given , the drive up the track to the cottage was amazing with views to die for !

  I was amazed at how clean the cottage was , as if if it was just built , the cleaning staff did a wonderful job ! The fixtures & fittings were also of a much better standard than described & we could not find fault with anything , having 200 acres of grounds to wander made it extra special ! Only a short drive from a good selection of shops & supermarkets & places of interest ! We didn't venture far over our 3 day stay as we didn't need to as we're nature lovers , from the hares running across the lawns to the roe deer grazing . This is a real credit to the owners & is a real hidden Gem , we can't recommend it highly enough ! Don't just take our word for it " GO & STAY " !
