Lovely comfortable cottage, close enough to all the amenities at the near by Kirby Lonsdale but a peaceful location. Quiet lanes to explore on foot with walks directly from the front door. The cottage was equipped with everything you need for a most pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

Had a great week, loved the cottage and location, enjoyed watching the birds in the adjacent field especially a barn owl out hunting in the evening. The lanes are good for walking as so little traffic and we covered many miles in all directions including to Kirkby Lonsdale, along the canal to Burton in Kendal and Hutton Roof Crags. The pub at LuptoRead moren is well worth a visit and easy to walk to. C&R Wakefield Hide

The cottage is on a stunning location, it's compact. Comfy beds and nice shower. It's a very narrow road to the cottage. We had a lovely stay.

We wanted to get away for a treat and Stick Barn certainly lived up to our expectations. The views were amazing, the barn was lovely and comfortable and the hosts were helpful and friendly. The village of Kirby Lonsdale is a short drive away with welcoming pubs and shops. There are great walks to do from the cottage and so much natural scenery to tRead moreake in. We would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to return ourselves one day. Hide

Had a great holiday. The Stick Barn is a lovely, cosy cottage with amazing views. The bed was so comfy slept really well. Great location to visit the South Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales. The lane approaching the cottage was very narrow but luckily we only met one other car.
