Guests say
Langthwaite Cottage in Carnforth is highly praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like chocolates and bubbly on arrival, and the property's location is ideal for country walks and star gazing from the hot tub. The cottage is recommended for its quietness and the friendly, helpful owners.
Guests consistently note the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as very clean and comfortable, which indicates a high level of maintenance and attention to detail.
The location is appreciated for its ideal setting for visiting the surrounding area and country walks, though one review mentions it is more remote than expected, which could be a slight drawback for some.
The cottage is repeatedly described as comfortable and spacious, with a peaceful atmosphere. However, a suggestion for more comfortable pillows indicates a small area for improvement.
Facilities like the hot tub are well-received, but comments about the lack of cooking utensils and a suggestion for the hot tub to be undercover suggest room for enhancement.
While guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a free bottle and milk, chocolates, and bubbly on arrival, there is no consistent reference to such gifts being a standard offering, and as such, they should not be expected on every visit.
About this property
Kirkby Lonsdale 3 milesSituated rurally in Casterton near Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria is Langthwaite Cottage, a delightful, three-bedroom annexe. Enjoying countryside views and a prime position within Yorkshire Dales National Park, the cottage welcomes six guests and two well-behaved dogs, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a private garden, and an open-plan living space. Travel down the private lane and reach the driveway, before travelling beyond the shared, sweeping garden, and into the entrance of the annexe. Reach the open-plan living space, complete with a fully-equipped kitchen, a lofty dining table for eight, and a homely sitting area with a wealth of books on offer; prepare meals, dine and relax in this space as a family.
If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, locate the private garden and patio, and set the table, watching the sun set over the village. To the exterior of Langthwaite Cottage, discover the inviting hot tub providing you the perfect way to relax following a day of exploring. When sleep calls, retreat to one of three well-appointed bedrooms, all adorning antique furniture and serviced by the ground-floor bathroom with an indulgent roll-top bath and walk-in shower; select between a super-king-size with en-suite cloakroom, located on the first floor, and a super-king-size or twin on the ground floor. Awaken to stunning vistas across the rolling fields, before beginning a hike towards the Radical Steps for the best vantage point, stroll across Devil's Bridge, enveloped River Lune, or practise your swing at Casterton Golf Course. Traverse through the national park, reaching beauty spots including the White Scar Cave, and Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, before following the Ingleborough Estate Nature Trail. Kendal is a must visit town, resting within the Lake District National Park, home to a museum, castle, and the stunning River Kent, ideal for visiting before continuing towards Lake Windermere and its wealth of attractions. Enjoy an escape at Langthwaite Cottage.
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. The peaceful country lanes are perfect for exploration by vehicle, bike, or even horseback.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The only thing that could improve this would be that the hot tub be undercover so it could be used when it's raining. But this didn't impact or affect our stay at all. I would 100% recommend this property for its location, quietness and cleanliness.

We loved that we could do country walks with our dogs straight from the cottage and also enjoyed star gazing from the hot tub. Owners were friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. We hope to come back here for another holiday!
