It was just the two of us and the dog. It was a very comfortable cottage over 3 floors. More of a town house. Beautiful yorkshire stone building. The view from the top back window (bedroom) is like a painting. Rightly so a stool is in place and you can sit and daydream out the window to such a beautiful view. It is exquisite. The cottage is near Salt Pie Lane. Beautiful cobbled little lane to the main part of Kirby Lonsdale. We have visited Kirby Lonsdale a lot and will definitely go back to Back Cottage. Very clean, very comfortable, very well cared for. It has everything you need for a short break. So much to do and see in Kirby Lonsdale and this cottage is ideal for anyone who has a dog. It has a little back courtyard with a little table and chairs if weather nice you could sit out and have your breakfast although small it is ideal. Our dog loved all the walks around the countryside and beyond. Lovely comfy bed on top floor . We did not use bed in middle floor. Beautiful log fire. So we had logs on such a lovely atmosphere in the evening sitting peacefully reading my book. Highly recommended. Top class for a visit for any family and the dog. We will be returning.
