  • Many thanks for a most enjoyable stay.  The cottage we found very comfortable and well equipped in a delightful and peaceful location.  We enjoyed exploring the area, and were particularly impressed with Holker Hall.

  • What a lovely chill-out place.  The cottage, the views, the birds, etc, etc.  We'd never seen woodpeckers and tree creepers before.  We'd love to come back.

  • Jasmine sat at the table having her hair and make up done in preparation for her wedding to Matt at Arkholme Church on 7.8.10.  What a lovely setting; the cottage, the birds, the views.  What a wonderful contribution to an amazing day.

  • A comfortable cottage in a peaceful location with lovely views of the Howgills.  Enjoyed Ruskin's View at Kirkby Lonsdale, Ruskin's house at Brantwood, Coniston and visiting the nearby villages.  We also had a "Brief Encounter" at Carnforth station.  We enjoyed feeding the chickens and watching the wildlife from the cottage.

  • The cottage - area - views - birds - wildlife cannot be bettered.  A wonderful week!  Cannot wait to return.

  • 2 weeks went very quickly.  Thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, the peace and quiet (and the eggs).  Loved the Dales and the Lakes.  Would love to return.
    J and S (from Perth, Australia), May 2010

  • Lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need.  Idyllic setting.  Quiet and welcoming retreat for anyone.  Animals as friendly as the owners.  Too much to see in every direction - not enough time - must return.  
     J and G (from Hartlepool), April 2010

  • Our first stay - fabulous walks and wildlife.  I never thought we could tire Wilson out!  Lovely, clean cottage with everything we needed.  Thank you.
    A, P and S and Wilson the dog (from Bolton), April 2010

  • Wonderful week, what a gem!  The views are totally outstanding and peace and quiet to match.  Only a few miles to the dramatic city of Lancaster and, in the other direction, there's the pretty town of Kirkby Lonsdale.  To top it all beautiful walks in between along the Lune, taking you through hidden hamlets.  We really couldn't ask for more.  Simply the best!

  • Lovely location and great cottage. Thanks for providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
        G and M (from Whitby), March 2010

        T and S (from Birmingham), February 2010

  • Locka Old Hall Cottage - so easy to arrive and so much harder to leave.  Can't believe our 3rd visit already, where does time go?  We must book our 4th visit very soon.
        J and L (from St Helens), January 2010

  • Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage.  We had a lovely relaxing time.  Great walking books and we hope to be back soon.

  • We'd like to say thank you for letting us stay here.  It was the perfect retreat for anyone who has been through a stressful time.  We certainly made the most of our stay; taking in the scenery, walks, local food, and yes, the birds were a delight to watch and feed.

  • Gill and Tim - you have got this cottage spot on the "comfort and quality" button.  The countryside is so suitable for exploring.  We've booked cottages for the last 20 years and Locka Old Hall Cottage is definitely in our "top three" visited cottages.
