Eskholme Barn is in a beautiful location near the pretty small town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Being on the boundary between Cumbria and Yorkshire there is a variety of scenery and many interesting places to visit in the nearby area. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. We highly recommend this as a restful place to stay.

This is possibly the best accommodation we have stayed in; immaculately clean, well equipped, and extremely comfortable. The location is perfect for touring the Dales and Lakes.
