About this property
A lovely first floor apartment situated above the owner's home, in the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria, close to the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Accessed via an external, open tread, spiral staircase and located in a historic house with stunning views overlooking the Lune Valley, this apartment would make a great base for families or friends who wish to explore this glorious part of rural England. There are two inviting bedrooms on offer, one double and one twin, as well as a delightful sitting room where lovely views can be enjoyed across the gardens to the river and fells beyond.
You will also find a well-equipped kitchen and a dining room, perfect for getting together and enjoying a group meal. The apartment is complete with an excellent family bathroom. Outside, there is a lovely shared lawned garden with superb views, almost as good as Ruskin's View. Kirkby Lonsdale is sure to delight guests with its individual shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all just two minutes’ walk from the front door of your holiday apartment. The impressive Norman church, St Mary’s, is well worth seeing, and beyond the churchyard is the famous setting for the John Turner’s painting, Ruskin’s View. Lovers of the outdoors will be spoilt for choice, with a great park close by, sitting on the banks of the River Lune, whilst the beautiful Devil’s Bridge is an enjoyable walk away.
Further afield, why not take a day trip into the Yorkshire Dales and explore the White Scar Caves at Ingleton and then pop over to Hawes for afternoon tea? The apartment also makes an excellent base for those wishing to explore the magnificent Lake District National Park, with the ever-popular towns of Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere, both situated on the shores of Lake Windermere, accessed within a 40 minute drive. This delightful apartment is perfect for exploring some of the most breathtaking scenery England has to offer, at any time of year.

Very well equipped, everything that you would need to make this a home from home, a lot of thought has gone into it. The view from the lounge is amazing. The owner Mrs Nicholson is there should you need her, she is a delight.

It is located 25 minutes from Kendal which is at the start of the Lake District, and is 25 minutes from Sedbergh in the Dales. It has the atmosphere of a friendly, small town. However, it is large enough to have a well-stocked supermarket, pubs and restaurants. There are lovely walks in the area and the apartment is in very pretty location. Ruskinâs View, past the church, is a short walk from the apartment. Mill Brow is a comfortable, first-storey apartment with a brilliant view over the Lune River. The apartment was very clean with good cooking facilities. We never ran out of hot water for a soaking bath. The shower pressure was not strong, but was adequate. We had heavy suit cases, but had no trouble using the staircase. There is spacious, private parking space for 2 cars. The owners are lovely people; not obtrusive, but available if one needs assistance.

The spiral stairs were manageable but care needed when it was raining, which it did quite a lot of the time we were there. Views were spectacular and we had the gardens to ourselves. Kirby Lonsdale is a quaint place to visit, lots of eateries and bespoke shops. The owners were helpful but no intrusive. We enjoyed a very pleasant week. Thank you.
