We booked our stay here, on a whim, last year during bonfire night. Our dog suffers with terrible noise anxiety and we feared he was having a heart attack. The write up for the cottage pretty much guaranteed no noise.
Let’s deal with that first then. 10/10! The quietest place I have ever visited. All you can hear is the bubbling stream that runs alongside the cottage.
Additional to our sole purpose for going we found the place an absolute delight.
The cottage was gorgeous. Well equipped, lovely furnishings, and warm.
The location was equidistant between Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh. Both interesting towns to visit. We nipped into the Lake District, which took a little over half an hour. So much more to see.
I could go on about detail after detail, but probably the best I can do without boring the reader is to confirm that whilst we were there we booked again for next year and this time for 10 nights. No fretful pooch for us any more. Thank you! Quite possibly a life-saver x

Ideal size for two adults (two medium dogs). The welcome pack was poor (pint of milk, bottle of wine, biscuits a few tea bags and a third of a kitchen roll) the least generous we have experienced. Beds very good as well as bedding and towels. There is a nice grass area for the dogs ideal for nighttime toilet however as it is not secure dogs could be distracted and get into the fields with livestock in. A motion sensor light there would be good too for pickups. The weather was not good at all, despite that we enjoyed our stay. The cleaner and owner were very friendly. In at 4.00pm and out at 10.00am is a bone of contention with me although I appreciate cleaners may have several places to clean distances apart which makes it difficult.



Beautiful Location in a comfortable cottage.

A lovely stay in this fabulous cottage. Everything we required for a short break in idyllic surroundings. Didn’t need to take advantage of the washing and drying facilities but they looked good.
Have rated fours in a couple of categories only because I’m old fashioned and during the booking process wanted to speak to someone in person but couldn’t as it was all by email and text messages. The cottage was very clean but the outside garden furniture needed a clean so we wiped it dow.n ourselves. There were no cushions but then we didnt ask for them so probably would have been provided.
Beds super comfy and brilliant value for our short break. Would definitely return




Great Stay!

We’ve stayed at Mill House Cottages many times as we love the location. The scenery is breathtaking and it’s so peaceful.
This was our first time in Mill House Cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for 3 adults. A bonus having 2 bathrooms.
Beautiful walks even in the rain. Appreciated the cosy log burner in the evenings.

We had a fantastic four nights at Mill Cottage. The location is beautiful with views over the valley in front of the house and hills behind it.
The cottage was well appointed and very comfortable. There are other cottages nearby but you still have your privacy. The owners were helpful and around if you needed them but just let us get on with enjoying our holiday. A wonderful place that we'd love to return to.

We stopped off at Mill Cottage for three nights on our way back from Scotland. The property is well placed for the M6. The cottage is very well appointed and set with a small complex of other buildings. The location is delightful and close to Kirby Lonsdale. Some issues with the heating and hot water - caused it seems by new radiators being fitted in the bathrooms - were sorted quickly and efficiently. We felt well supported by the team. We would recommend Mill Cottage for a stay in this area which for us was preferable over the more busy and commercial Lake District.

Everything was lovely but a small amount of extra cleaning is necessary…ie when i moved the bedside table to pick up something I had dropped it was filthy with dead flys and spiders. Windows need a clean inside. We tried to hoover but the hoover had no bag in and no end on it. Otherwise it was super.

A delightful cottage in a beautiful, quiet location. This was our second time staying here, in a different cottage this time. We chose this area for the great walking on the Barbon hills and the Howgill fells. The pub in Barbon has excellent home cooked food and a very obliging landlord who opened the pub for us one afternoon as we passed after a long, hot walk in the hills!

We booked with Mill House Cottages after a previous visit to Kirkby Lonsdale where we saw their cottage photos displayed in the window of their offices. We liked this area and its easy access from the M6 and further its location relatively near to Kendal where we have family.
Having viewed the Mill House Cottage web site and been impressed with the range and type of cottages available I booked Mill House Cottage for 4 nights commencing Saturday 16th July 2022. The booking was done over the phone and paid for in full bearing in mind the booking was done on the 30th June 2022. I liked the availability for flexible nights which fitted in with our plans.
The arrival at the cottage was via very narrow lanes leading to an opening with our cottage sited at the rear of the main farmhouse and another cottage. Vehicle access was good as was parking on a sound gravel surface. The location can only be described as splendid with an elevated view down over the Lune Valley from the front of the cottage and mountain scenery to the rear of the cottage. We really enjoyed the quite surroundings and countryside which we explored with a few walks.
The cottage we booked was for 4 people but as a couple we found it just about acceptable for the two of us as space was limited for our unpacked luggage in the bedroom. The one shower room was fine for us as a couple. Hot water day and night was plentiful.
Downstairs area was absolutely fine with good space to relax and the kitchen area was well equipped and a modern facility. As
we mostly dined out we only used some of the equipment on a limited basis but all utensils were easy to hand. Cleanliness was to a good standard throughout the cottage.
We found the outside seating area was easily located and was a good place to sit and enjoy a drink whilst taking in the views and on our visit enjoying the wildlife around us.
Overall a great stay in a beautiful part of the country and to be highly recommended.

We could not have asked for a more perfect setting or a more comfortable cottage for our week-long stay in the Yorkshire Dales. The two large double beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have en-suite bathrooms with space. The kitchen was well equipped with good quality Denby crockery and John Lewis cooking pans; the sitting room had nice and comfortable arm chairs. There is a spacious decking area outside that catches the evening sun setting over the hills opposite. Apart from the relaxing sound of water coming down the stream nearby and lambs calling for their mothers on the fell above, it was totally tranquil and quiet. Easy access to Kirkby Lonsdale (10 Min) and Sedberg (10 min). It turned out to be a perfect spot for exploring the North Yorkshire Dales. We spent several days in the Dent Valley just 10 min from Sedberg cycling or walking. Thank you for building a perfect spot for our holiday.

Superb location, very well equipped and comfortable stay. I think four people might find it very tight for space. Only disappointment was the lack of anywhere good to eat. The local pub that was raved about was very poor pub grub and very poor choice of wine

The cottage is perfect for two, may be a squeeze for 4?
Clean as you like, well stocked kitchen, nice furniture and woodburner as well.
Beds are so comfy and bathrooms just what you need after hard days walking.
Access to all areas of Dales is easy.
Location is perfect, peace and quiet and I had the luxury of sitting on the rocks cooling my feet in the beck after a severe hike, lovely.
These properties are exactly what you want when on holiday. 10/10

Fantastic remote and peaceful location inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Great modern and comfortable finish to the cottage. Located near Kirby Lonsdale for good restaurants and also allows easy day trips to eg Windermere and Bolton Abbey. Immediate access to the fells out of the back door and our children liked the friendly dogs nearby

First impressions are important. We arrived late on Friday afternoon, just as darkness was falling, and Mill House Cottage could not have looked more welcoming - tastefully lit, with Christmas Tree twinkling. The heating was cranked up to the max. These people know what they're doing, we thought. Make no mistake, this is a premium property, finished and maintained to a very high standard. During our stay we were treated to a look around the Southerdale and Howgills Barn properties nearby, and they have the same premium feel. Attention to detail is great too, and the owners, who live close by, are friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive.
The location is very quiet and peaceful without being too remote - perfect if you want to get away from it all for a few days. For this standard of property, I thought that what we paid represented pretty good value. The only thing I would say, is that Mill House Cottage, despite sleeping four, is quite compact and bijou. If you like a sense of internal space I would suggest going for one of the bigger cottages in Mill House's portfolio. For us, it was perfect for our four night, pre-Christmas break.

We stayed in the Mill Cottage for 4 days and had an amazing time. The standard of furnishings, cooking equipment and little touches were amazing. Julie and Steve were outstanding hosts and made us exceptionally welcome. The views around the cottage are stunning and we enjoyed a great walk to the top of the hills directly behind the property. We cooked some lovely meals in the cottage and made the most of the log burner for romantic nights in. Julie recommend a local pub in Kirkby Lonsdale where we had a lovely meal. We had some great days out visiting Kendal, Coniston, Windermere and Skipton, all of which are all in easy driving distances.
We will definitely return in the new year and would highly recommend Millhouse Cottages to anyone wanting a first class break in the Lake District or Yorkshire Dales.

This wasn't the 2 weeks in Florida that we had booked 12 months ago but as plan B's go this was an excellent back option. The cottage was so cosy and quiet - the surrounding countryside stunning and a really lovely restful break.

The directions and instructions we were sent were great and the cottage had everything we needed, it was a delight. I was just sorry that it wasn't cold enough to light the log burner!

We have always enjoyed staying at Mill House Cottages and this time was no exception, though the weather was awful. we were particularly reassured that Julie and Stephen have invested in a machine (an anti-fogging machine?) which cleanses and decontaminates the inner environment between guests. We think this is really important during Covid-19, and good at any other time.

Arriving by the great directions supplied we unpacked and settled in to our cosy cottage. I soon found the well received gifts of a really nice red wine and tasty cake. Log burner already laid was lit, and soon a lovely warming glow filled the room.
The cottage lived up to the high standard as advertised with central heating fully fitted kitchen with all mod cons and two bedrooms, one ensuite. The room we choose had a really comfy king sized bed which resulted in a good night's sleep.
The views from the cottage are stunning and with variable weather the landscape was constantly changing.
We will certainly be returning in the autumn for a few more relaxing days.

This was my first visit to Mill House Cottage. I have for the last forty years used holiday cottages throughout the UK and can honestly say that Mill House Cottage is one of the best cottages I have ever stayed in. The cleanliness, standard of equipment provided and high level of furniture and fittings on display are exceptional. The owners certainly have a great eye for detail. The rural position of this cottage is fantastic with stunning views of the rolling Cumbrian hills and for walks down quite country lanes where wildlife can be seen in abundance. It’s location is ideal for visiting the beautiful market towns of Sedbergh, Kirkby Lonsdale or a little further to Kendal. The owners are very friendly and ensure that your stay with them is a memorable occasion. I hope to revisit Mill House Cottage very soon.

Our week at MIll House was the perfect place to escape. This delightful cottage is warm cosy and very comfortable.
Nestled in a perfect setting with spectacular views. Close to Barbon with a great village pub and a short drive from Kirkby Lonsdale.
Fabulous for walking, exploring the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. HIghly recommend!

Great stay in very comfortable cottage in a great location between the Dales and The Lakes. Kirkby Lonsdale is a fantastic village with great places to eat and shop ! The four of us enjoyed a great meal in the bar at The Barbon Inn where the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Having walked there across the fells , we staggered back to the cottage along the lane !
Would certainly recommend .

We had a lovely break in this comfy cottage in a great location for the Dales, the Lakes and the coast. Last stayed in Southerdale 7 years ago so knew what was available. However, the freezer badly needed defrosting as we found it was not closed properly on arrival so had iced up. Fortunately we only used it to freeze our ice packs. We had a lovely king size bed made up of the zip together singles. The mattress cover was not big enough to cover the 6 foot wide bed so kept coming off from the top corner of one side. It really needs a larger mattress cover. These issues did not cause us any problems so are purely constructive criticism. We will hopefully return in the near future. Thank you.

Mill Hill Cottage was everything we expected and more! The owners were great! Accommodated our every need.
The surroundings were amazing! Beautiful little cottage nestled in spectacular views. Many places to go and see and great walks on your doorstep!
We achieved climbing Scarfell Pike! Cruise on lake Windermere. Visited the caves and cycling at Grizdsle forest .
Could have stayed another week but will definitely come back!
Would highly recommend a stay at Mill Hill Cottages.

We have stayed in several Mill House properties on the estate because we love the area and know that we will arrive to a clean and comfortable house. The owners, Julie and Stephen Bolton, really care about your stay there so if there is ever any small issue or anything that you need, they deal with it promptly and courteously.

The properties on the estate have lovely views down along the valley and vary in size and price so are perfect for most sizes of family. The booking dates are very flexible too which is a real bonus sometimes. There are others in different locations but we love the Mill House properties. They are close to Sedbergh and Kirby Lonsdale where there are shops, cafes, restaurants and other things to do should the weather let you down. Wonderful second hand book shops in Sedbergh. We prefer this area to the lake district as it is always quieter and more relaxing. The walking is more pleasant for us too.

We hope to continue taking holidays at Mill House.



A well presented and comfortable cottage with beautiful views.

The cottage is in excellent condition and from some photos of the front room in the shop which the furniture is different to reality it must have been refurbished recently. All mod cons are available and the decor is contemporary/shabby chic yet the cottage retains lots of character. Very clean. Very warm. Cosy. 10 minute drive from Kirkby Lonsdale (not walkable).

We (2 adults and 2 children) spent a very enjoyable few days in Mill Cottage and would not hesitate to return. The feeling of remoteness yet being only 15 minutes drive from Kirby Lonsdale made the location even more appealing.

This made for the perfect weekend for my son's 18th Birthday. We hired Howgill's and Mill House cottage, both were superb. Mill House is an old favourite and it is completely refreshed after the redecoration, it has been really tastefully done. They both were comfy, cosy and had all the little touches you could hope for.

I should start off by saying that we rarely holiday in the U.K. for one reason - I am very fussy about accommodation. However, on finding the Mill House Cottages website I felt I'd found what I was looking for...and I certainly wasn't disappointed, the cottage was every bit as gorgeous in real life as it looks in the photos.

The setting is idylic; tucked away up a country lane with views to die for. We were lucky to have a couple of warm, sunny evenings and spent time sitting outside with a drink in total peace and quiet, away from the usual hussle and bustle. And it was just a short drive to the lovely little village of Kirkby Lonsdale where we dined out.

Our hosts, Julie and Steven, were welcoming and friendly, and have clearly thought of everything. There was nothing more we could have wanted or needed in the cottage. From the charming welcome basket with freshly baked bread, butter, jam and wine....to dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, etc, it's all there.

The cottage was cosy and comfortable...especially on our PJ day in the pouring rain! The wifi meant I could watch Netflix whilst my hubby and daughter watched movies...and we snacked the day away.

All in all it was a very enjoyable stay, and we hope to return soon.

It was lovely arriving at Mill Cottage to find the house very warm and with a box of food luxuries left out for us. The decor was excellent, all facilities were tip top including large comfortable beds. While the house sleeps four there was only the two of us but with four people it would be more confined. The site is very accessible from the M6 and Kirkby Lonsdale is a very beautiful and interesting town while the fells all around are spectacular. The are plenty of options of walks from the cottage. The hosts who live nearby make you welcome but give you your space.

We had a lovely Christmas in Mill Cottage- 2 couples and one small springer spaniel. It was cosy and well 'kitted' out.
The location was excellent and there is great walking from the doorstep.
The bedrooms were quite small but the beds very comfortable.
The cottage was great for us and look forward to another break soon.

Booked this cottage as a short break. It did not disappoint. Beautiful location with walks straight from the door. We are already planning a return visit next year with our Westie Woody. Some good pubs nearby if you want to eat out, but the kitchen at the cottage is very well equipped and once the log burner was lit we did not want to go out!

We arrived at Mill Cottage to find the door open, so we just unpacked and settled ourselves in. There was no welcome from the owners, however, we felt they were there if we had needed them. The beds are big and comfortable, leaving little room around them to manoeuvre. As there were three of us, this potential problem was overcome by pushing the bed in the en suite bedroom as far to the side as we could. The location is lovely and very handy for walking and touring round. There are lovely places to sit outside which we were unable to take advantage of due to the horrible weather. All in all, a very nice break.

Many thanks for taking the time to review Mill Cottage. I am pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and your holiday. I am sorry that we were not there when you arrived. We do try to welcome everyone on arrival but sometimes it just isn't possible. In our information pack that we send out before your holiday, we make it very clear that the cottage will be open , the lights on and a welcome hamper will be in the cottage. We encourage you to settle in and make yourselves at home. We also say that we always try to catch up with guests within 24 hours of arrival- and of course, Stephen came to see you the morning after you arrived. Best Regards Julie

Very comfortable. We booked this cottage for two on the basis that it would have a bit more room and were not disappointed. Each property is discrete and we were able to walk from the door onto the Dales. A great location for dipping into the Dales and the Lake District.

We were amazed by the scenery and remoteness of the cottage. A great retreat. The accommodation was very compact but contained everything we needed. There were three of us and that was OK but think that had there been four, we might have been rather squashed. We loved the decor, each room was very tastefully furnished and comfortable.

Wonderful holiday in a lovely quiet area. The cottage itself is in a remote location, only nestled between three other holiday cottages and the owners home. Fantastic views!

The owners, staff and neighbours (a good walk away) are all very pleasant and helpful and happy to point out places of interest and advise on great places to eat and see.

Cottage was lovely and comfortable and very clean! We had a lovely, relaxing stay at the end of the summer holidays.

We had a fantastic three nights at the lovely Mill Cottage. The setting was beautiful - the perfect escape from the city! The cottage was so cute and cosy, finished to a high standard and spotless. The welcome basket and basic amenities made it so much easier for us to settle in and not need to buy unnecessary home goods. We will definitely recommend Mill House Cottages to our friends.

We (husband and dog and I) have just returned from a lovely week staying at Mill Cottage. The accommodation is excellent. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, tasteful decor and a well equipped kitchen. Small touches like fluffy (and expensive!) towels and a welcome hamper really create a sense of luxury. Mill Cottage is quite small, and though it has two bedrooms and bathrooms, it might feel a bit cramped for four adults.
The location is absolutely beautiful with views of rolling hills for miles around. Each cottage has access to its own garden/field and this makes it ideal for dog owners.
The cottage has good wifi and phone coverage is fine.
We'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend the cottage to family and friends.

Our second stay at Mill Cottage, a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Wonderful walking right from the doorstep and a lovely area to explore if you want to get in the car. All enhanced by the friendliness of the owners and housekeeper.

This is a cosy, clean and well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location. We had a fantastic time, I would highly recommend staying here. It provides easy access to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Mill house cottage was amazing. Beautifully decorated with lovely touches throughout. It was nice to have our hosts nearby if we had any queries but they didn't intrude into our space. The location was amazing, such natural beauty. We will without a doubt visit again! Maybe try one of the other properties offered by this wonderful couple.

Beautiful setting, scenery spectacular, so peaceful . The cottage is in immaculate order having brand new fittings and furniture. Our 4th visit and I'm sure we shall return. Being able to take my westie is a real bonus. What more can I say other than to give this wonderful cottage, it's magnificent setting plus a welcome box and being able to take my westie, nothing but the highest rating

Cottage was exactly as expected from description and pictures seen on website with every home comfort and lovely goodies waiting for us on arrivial. So much to do near by you are spoilt for choice can recommend the train / steamer boat trip on lake Windermere and also the lovely villages of Ambleside and Grasmere. Closer to the cottage the town of Kirby Lonsdale has a lovely walk away from the town on the riverbank as mentioned by the owners in the guide of things to do in the area, Also not to be missed is the lovely coast at Arnside and the village of Cartmel

Mill Cottage is a beautiful cozy cottage in a gorgeous location We enjoyed a very relaxing short break over the New Year period which involved some great walks direct from the cottage. We ate out several times at some excellent restaurants recommended by Stephen and Julie It was great each day to return to the very warm , clean cottage and light the log burner. We will definitely return. Thank you once again

Generally we liked the cottage very much, excellent location, however there were a number of things that could be improved.
1. Although we were expecting extreme weather conditions, it would have been good to have been warned in advance that the road surface had disappeared, fortunately we were in our 4x4 and not our other vehicle so it wasn't an issue.
2. The Shower needs a new head as squirting out sideways and water leaks down the living room wall on the left just before the stairs.
3. It could do with a little attention on the decorating in parts.



Julie Bolton: Owner replied more than 1 year ago
Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We were disappointed to see that some of the marks were well below what we normally achieve. I'm sorry that you didn't raise your concerns whilst you were with us as we could have easily corrected any problems. You will be delighted to hear that Mill Cottage is now closed for two months as we are commencing upon a pre-planned re-fit and hopefully we will see you again so we can show you the results! Best Regards Stephen and Julie

We have enjoyed the summer sun and the winter snow while staying at Mill Cottage, but being there during Storm Desmond was a special experience! The footbridge behind the cottages was swept away and, lower down, the beck overflowed destroying the last 200 yards of the lane, marooning us in the cottage. But the support of the Mill House Cottages team was just superb, Sara and Peter made sure we were safe, warm and had food, and Stephen and Julie, away in New York, arranged for a contractor to make the lane passable so we could get out, and home. Absolutely wonderful care! We will be back, whatever the weather!

We couldn't fault our stay at Mill House Cottage - perfect location (need to drive a bit to get to places, but if you don't mind that, the view from the roads is beautiful), and the cottage has everything you could need, including well-equipped kitchen, great bath and shower, perfect bedding and comfort. Highly recommended!

Stephen and Julie have made a perfect hideaway in an ideal location between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. The stone cottage is beautifully appointed with everything one could need in a home away from home and is very cosy and comfortable. Despite there being three other cottages nearby, it is completely quiet and private and we loved the sound of a nearby stream. The location halfway up one of the fells affords stunning views as well as enjoyable walks right from the doorstep, yet it is only twenty minutes to the town of Kirkby Lonsdale with an excellent supermarket, cafes, restaurants and historic sights. Good wifi an added bonus. Stephen and Julie are also the perfect hosts, warm and welcoming and on call all the time (as we found when we had a plumbing problem). The welcome basket was the best we've ever had! The only suggestion would be to have a small wall cabinet in the bathroom with the shower. Definitely, a little gem of a cottage.



Perfect!

We celebrated a birthday at Mill House Cottages with all of the family coming together. The setting was perfect, relaxed and just what was required for a short break. Kirkby is only 10 - 15 minutes drive away and has plenty of excellent restaurants to enjoy. I would strongly advise Avanti Resturant for an evening meal (book in advance).

Mill Cottage really is wonderful decorated, exceptionally clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for 4 people to enjoy the comforts of a country cottage. Everything we needed (kitchen, comfort, guide wise) was thought of, the bed was lovely and excellent wifi signal. We had 6 people, 1 child and a small dog at one point taking advantage of this wonderful cottage and there were no complaints! Plenty of space for us to all eat and celebrate a fantastic birthday.

Highly recommended as a relaxing spot and base to explore the lakes. Thank you to Julie and Stephen for assisting us in our devious plan to surprise my parents on my Mothers birthday.

We love staying here and have done so for ten successive years since our daughter was three months old. . It is a super house in a quite special, beautiful part of England. There is loads to do whether you like cycling, real ale, good food, reading quietly by the fire, bird watching, cuckoo listening... deer spotting .... woodland walks...fell walks....old churches...villages with amazing tea shops....towns with quirky antique markets...it is all a stone's throw away. Within a minute of the front door is the most beautiful stream with little waterfalls which in itself is a fabulous spot for a picnic and for children to play for hours.

Because of the location Mill Cottage boasts an extraordinary calm, helped by spotlessly clean rooms, proper cotton sheets, massive beds, proper towels, a top notch coffee machine and no intrusive ornaments, dried flower arrangements or left over bottles of tomato sauce and stock cubes from previous guests that lets loads of self catering accommodation down. Think White Company meets Hotel du Vin....with endless open space in every direction.

This was the first time in the Lune Valley and we will definitely be back to stay at Mill House Cottages. The area is absolutely beautiful and so much quieter than the Lake District which is only half an hour away. We spent our time walking in both the Lakes and The Yorkshire Dales( which quite literally are on the doorstep). The choice of restaurants around Mill House are superb. We would recommend The Barbon Inn and The Highwayman. We walked a couple of times down the lane to the village of Barbon and enjoyed coffee and cake in the village store/coffee shop. Mill Cottage itself has recently been updated and the attention to detail is first class. It has everything you could possibly wish for, including a Nespresso coffee machine. The welcome hamper was excellent and Stephen and Julie are perfect hosts. We will definitely recommend Mill House Cottages to our friends and family.

High standard of decoration and furnishing. Lovely location. Bit of a hill up to the property so no walks down the lane for the elderly, also the shower has quite a high threshold step, so it's not ideal if you've got elderly/ frail people in the party.

Mill Cottage is a joy; cosy, well equipped and comfortable. The cottage is in middle of nowhere (from a city dwellers point of view) but the local town of Kirby Lonsdale is a pleasure, helpful and generous; lovely basket of locally sourced goodies on arrival.

This is our second time and wont be our last.

Some thoughtful little extras in the cottage like a bottle of wine and welcome basket and nice soaps. Great to have a drying room. Close to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales so lots of days out to choose from. Thank you, we will return!

We keep going back to Mill House Cottages (10 times now) for the comfort, the countryside and the welcome. The local eating is very good as is the local produce. Very enjoyable golf at Casterton, Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale, and there's a great book shop in Sedbergh.
On every visit we seem to find something new. On our latest visit we found a relatively new deli in Barbon.
We'll be back.

The nearby village has well stocked shops and many good restaurants. Even a game of golf was easily arranged. Our hosts could not do enough to ensure a pleasant stay.

This is the third time we have visited Mill House Cottages and would definitely visit again. The location is excellent and ideal for walking in the Yorkshire Dales and the fells can be accessed directly from the cottages. Nothing is too much trouble to the owners, Stephen and Julie, who welcome you on your arrival and are always on hand should anything be needed. The welcome hamper is very much appreciated. We would be happy to recommend these cottages to anyone.

We highly recomend a stay at the Mill house cottages. We were made to feel very welcome. The views are a big distraction, enough to say you find yourself pausing what ever it is your doing to take the beautiful and changing views in. Howgills barn is a finely detailed cottage with a hi level of comfort. We saw more of the friendly owners here, than anywhere we have previously stayed. Julie and Steve are very accommodating even to the point of ensuring we had baby sun cream when we had miss placed ours.

Situated at the foot of a fell, mill cottage is possibly one of the best located properties we have ever stayed in. The cottage is compact but so well organised that it is extremely comfortable, even with two large teenage boys! As keen cooks we found the kitchen extremely well equipped and generally everything you needed was in the cottage including a ready supply of logs, binoculars and a map of the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend both the cottage & the local area which was packed with beautiful walks and scenery.

We were met by Peter on arrival bearing a box of lovely fresh eggs! The welcome pack is much appreciated. You know there will always be the essentials on hand plus a bottle of wine to help you settle in. Julie and Stephen always make sure that all is in place for a relaxing stay.

We were very comfortable, Mill Cottage was warm; the beds are extremely spacious and contribute to a good night's sleep while being lulled by the sheep roaming the hills.

We have lost count of the number of times we have stayed at Mill House Cottages.

The area is lovely and the people are very welcoming. There is easy access to all types of activity but you can also enjoy the peace and tranquility of Mill House Cottages.

There can be no doubt, we will be back.

I stayed at Mill House for a week with a friend and didn't want to leave. The cottage was in a great location, well set up with lovely touches like the welcome basket.
Beds were cosy and chairs difficult to rouse ourselves from. We spent the days wandering around the Lakes and enjoyed returning to our cosy cottage. Lovely.

Cottages are lovely, clean and quiet yet close enough to Barbon and Kirkby Lonsdale as too not feel too for out of the way.
Highly recommended.

Fabulous cottage, hidden away in the countryside. The cottage was well equipped and the owners were very friendly. Very much enjoyed the log fire, made the cottage very warm and cosy.

This is the first time in a cottage, needed to be able to take my little dog with me. It was an excellent choice as we discovered, the cottage was sat in the most beautiful part of the countryside even in the middle of winter when we visited. The cottage is all that you see on the web site and more, excellently furnished in all rooms and it was a struggle to leave the surroundings to visit around the villages that where close by. It has made such an impression that I will be booking again. Highly recommended fist class facilities and surroundings.

A cosy cottage in a beautiful spot. Lovely views from all the windows. Hosts were very helpful... Even collected a can of seat start for our broken down car! Made the end of our holiday a lot less stressful!



Top Quality!

Perfect location, excellent hand-off attitude (some places you get nothing but nosey owners and rule notices everywhere!), perfectly clean (until we came with the muddy dog paws on the mat, sorry about that).

Mill Cottage is ideal for a short break on the edge of the Lune Valley.
An excellent location for walking straight out onto the fells.
We recommend the nearby Barbon Inn.



A top notch country, escape from city life, only a short drive from the lovely Kirby Lonsdale

Mill House is a well equipped, excellent quality cozy self catering cottage. When we arrived there was a generous welcome pack with lovely food treats and thoughtful essentials for your stay as well as a limitless supply of wood, local OS map, dvds, games and books coupled with a friendly welcome from the owners and a really well thought guest information pack with suggestions of things to do locally means you want for absolutely nothing.

We'll be back. Don't miss out, try it yourself, you won't be disappointed.

A very nice cottage in excellent condition in a wonderful location, with great owners, there if you need them but who otherwise leave you alone. Really tranquil, right on the edge of Middleton Moor, with miles of moorland and filed walks for those with some energy.



Another wonderful stay.

We have visited the cottages many times and every time has been as good as the last.
It is somewhere that as soon as you open the cottage door and kick your shoes off you start to relax.
There is always a warm welcome from the owners and sleep well in the comfortable beds.

Stayed here several times and each time it has been a real pleasure. Perfect location for walks from the door and the Churchhouse cafe in Barbon is a must visit.

The weather wasn't favourable, but that made no difference to us as our little cottage was so lovely, wirh spectacular views, even in the rain! On arrival, much later than expected, a welcome pack including a bottle of wine were just what we needed, and got our stay off on the right foot. The beds were huge and very comfortable, and we enjoyed relaxing for a few days in front of the woodburner. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

This is our 3rd visit to Mill House Cottages having stayed in Northerdale twice and Mill House Cottage once. We have found both cottages to be immaculate and very homely. There is a lovely hamper awaiting you on arrival at the cottage, which is a lovely gesture from the owners Julie and Stephen who always make you feel so welcome and nothing is ever too much trouble for them.

The cottages are situated in a beautiful part of Cumbria up high in the fells with lovely views all around. It is an excellent area for walking and you can even access the fells from the door of the cottage. Have already booked for next year.

A lovely cottage set in a fabulous location. The grounds are very well maintained. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mill house cottages to anyone who wants a lovely peaceful holiday.
It was a real shame we didn't get to meet the owners as they were themselves on holiday. They are clearly highly thought of by previous guests judging by the comments in the cottage guest book.

So sorry we weren't around when you came. Hope to see you again at some stage in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to review your holiday.

Another wonderful visit

This was our third visit to Mill Cottage. A beautiful location. Charming cottage. Spotlessly clean and always made very welcome. We are currently planning our next visit!
