The picturesque market town of Kirkby Lonsdale may be found in the Lune Valley, between the more well-known tourist destinations of the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Domesday Book noted the town in 1086, while the town's Market Charter dates to the 13th century. These days, the town's market takes place every Thursday, giving guests a great chance to peruse the eclectic array of locally owned boutiques and the many preserved structures from the 17th and 18th centuries. Also in 2016, the city was a nominee for the High Street of the Year Award. Turner frequented this section of the Lune Valley, which was popularised by Ruskin and is still renowned for its beauty because to his "view." Overlooking the water is the historic Devil's Bridge, and the surrounding countryside is perfect for a drive, a bike ride, or even a horseback ride. This area is perfect for a getaway at any time of year, with three golf courses, tennis courts, horseback riding, fishing, and several riverfront and rural walks. According to The Sunday Times, Kirkby Lonsdale has "an incomparable Lake District setting, bags of community spirit, and one of the cleanest high streets," making it the "Best Place to Live in The North West" in 2019.

The towel rails didnât come on during our stay and we had a battle with flies. The problem seemed to be with the upstairs narrow curtain and any blinds that hadnât been used. Every day we must have killed at least 20. Shaking the curtain and vacuuming underneath the top of the blinds seemed to work. We hope this is useful for the owners/cleaners.

Well maintained and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed our stay and would like to visit again in future. Feedback is only for outdoor furniture. Furniture in balcony is old and dangerous , coffee table was completely end of life and one of my friends was very close to getting hurt as he leaned on the table for coffee. I have a video for your reference if you need. Please change those because people could get hurt.

Quiet and pleasant countryside views. A few niggles though. Water for showering was cold, balcony furniture was too dirty to sit on, no instruction left on what to do with bedding/ towels on leaving. Only two of us in the apartment but if all three beds were occupied there were insufficient towels. There is no wardrobe or hanging space upstairs. The roof window didnât work ( I assume batteries in remote needed replacements). Car parking spaces are extremely tight making it difficult to get out of the car if anyone is parked next to you.
