About this property
Kirkby Lonsdale 3 miles. A wonderful rural retreat! This superb stone-built semi-detached cottage is situated in Mansergh, an area of lovely wooded hills and valleys about 3 miles up the River Lune from Kirkby Lonsdale. One half of an old farmhouse, dating back to 1717, Fleshbeck Cottage is truly delightful - full of character and charm. It boasts many original features including mullion windows, exposed beams, and a working cast iron range in the sitting room. Visitors will enjoy the pretty cottage garden complete with lawn, flowerbeds, cast iron garden furniture and a BBQ. Adjacent to a wooded valley, this unique and rather romantic property is an ideal location for a relaxing break. Note: This cottage is next to Refs. 917 and 9985, and a short distance from Ref. 10255, together they sleep 22.
Situated in the heart of the Lune Valley, mid way between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District is the attractive market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. This charming and historic town was mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book and holds a market charter from the 13th Century. This market continues on a weekly basis every Thursday and offers a perfect opportunity for visitors to explore the variety of distinctive shops in the town as well as the many 17th and 18th Century buildings. The picturesque Lune Valley was popular with the artist Turner and is host to the medieval Devil's Bridge that spans the river. There is a wealth of quiet country lanes in the area that are ideal for exploring by car, bike or even on horseback. There are also a number of other activities including golf, tennis, riding, fishing as well as a variety of riverside and country walks.

It was close to Kirkby Lonsdale where there were many shops and tearooms which we enjoyed. It was also close to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. We would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely return.
