We had a lovely few days in the Band Room, everywhere was spotless and although compact it's certainly big enough for two people, it's set just off the main street so is perfect for the local bars and shops aswell as lovely local walks, communication with the owner was also good, will definitely return

Very comfortable and quiet. The need to park out on the back road is no great hassle. The adjacent pub is excellent and Kirkby Stephen is a good base for lots of great walking. Will happily use again.
