Great accommodation for a family get together

Everything we needed for a weekend stay. Lovely accommodation and garden plus a great pub next door. Nothing really. Although a dart board and pool table in one of the out. buildings would be good!

Cosy rural retreat.

Ivy Cottage offers extensive off-road parking with a large garden and lovely views. The accommodation is spacious and generously appointed. The property is superbly located for rural walks and right next door to the well-reputed Pheasant Inn (although this was closed for refurbishment during our stay) and within walking distance of the lovely town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Although generally well presented, the property could do with a deep clean and cobwebbing!
Response from VrboOwner on 18 February 2026

We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful time and found the property to have everything you needed for a comfortable break. We are pleased that you enjoyed the location and made the most of the walks on the doorstep. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Beautiful area and Ivy Cottage has fantastic views.

Beautiful area and Ivy Cottage has fantastic views. Nice spacious cottage, plenty of room as there was 8 of us staying for 5 days over Christmas. We used the log fire in the lounge every day and there was plenty of dry logs to use at the back of the house. Great pub next door, The Pheasant Inn and Kirkby Lonsdale is only a 7 min drive where there some lovely old pubs and great local shops. Booths Supermarket is close and has everything one needs. Beautiful walks close by as well. Will certainly consider a return during the summer months. Thanks, we had a lovely family Christmas.

Wonderful Holiday stay

Very nice cottage in the Dales. Our 10 month old granddaughter did splendidly during our stay. Cottage was as advertised. Six adults and our baby granddaughter had a wonderful stay. Good location for driving all around Yorkshire. Convenient to all necessities. Fully equipped kitchen. Gorgeous gardens!
