Tucked in a tiny alley off the high street so walking distance to plenty of real-ale bars, cafes and take-away. Plenty of street parking nearby. Lovely quality bedding and equipment. Could possibly do with a bit more cutlery and crockery if you're preparing your own meals. Lots of great walking either from the door or within 30 minutes drive. We would definitely recommend

A beautifully renovated cottage near to the Market town facilities of Kirkby Stephen. Just a very short walk to shops and cafés.

Originally planned Kirkby Stephen as a base for daytrips further afield. Instead, ended up spending more time at the cottage and within Kirkby Stephen. The accommodation, cafes, bistros, pubs and bakeries were fantastic along with some great riverside walks. Well rested and thoroughly rejuvenated. Thank you!
