My family had a lovely, relaxing mini break at Ivy cottage in January. We made the most of our three days there and really felt like we'd had a break from it all!
One day we walked out from the cottage and climbed the local hill - Flinter Gill, in the crisp sunshine. From the top we had stunning views and really enjoyed coming back to the warm cottage, building a fire and cooking on the aga.
We spent the next day exploring the village, walking down by the river and then headed to local kirkby lonsdale for a gentle stroll around the shops.
Ivy Cottage is a perfect base from which to see a bit of Cumbria - ideally located with local walks, or interesting towns and villlages a short drive away.
The cottage is stylish, beautifully finished and fantastically cosy. We especially loved all the little touches of detail - the colour-in poster for guests to leave comments, the well stocked bookcases, the vintage magazines, a utility room for washing off muddy boots...
My daughter and her friend loved the bunk beds and the unicorn decoration in the children's room.
I'd warmly recommend Ivy Cottage as a place for a romantic break or a relaxing family holiday. I can't wait to go back.
