"The room wasn’t big or fancy, but we didn't need big or fancy. We needed a good night's sleep and a welcome from a brilliant human. We got both, and Fran was a multi-tasking, dart-offering smiley force of happiness, which I really neded. We visited Kirkby Stephen for sad reasons, but we left with a smile. "

"Hostel was not staffed 24/7. Arrived at 18.30 to locked door with instructions pinned to door on how to gain access; same for second night. No breakfast was available on either day. "

"Wasn’t aware until shortly before our visit that we’d booked during the Appleby Horse Fair so following a Police advisory, they weren’t selling alcohol. Which was a shame as I like to drink local brewery beer when away, but we were allowed to bring our own bottles. In all other respects, our stay was amazing!"

"Beautiful cottage in a quite location."

"Good value, comfortable, good & convenient location, easy and free parking"
