A lovely location with easy accessible walks along the river, many local features to see, with shops and pubs within walking distance, these are literally on your doorstep.

Fabulous stay at this beautiful cottage. The hot tub was a huge plus point. Everything had been thought of. Very modern and well looked after. Within a couple of minutes to all that Kirkby Lonsdale has to offer. Including a wonderful award winning butchers.

The cottage is beautiful equipped with all high end furnishings, everything you could want is there. The location is perfect, the town has all you need and there are two very good 4 & 5 mile walks from the front door.
It was perfect for two of us , if there had been 4 adults , only having 1 bathroom may have been a drawback. A downstairs shower would be a great addition.
We had a fantastic 5 days and are thinking about returning next year.

Ruskin's View was exceptional. The cottage was luxurious and maintained to a very high standard. The welcome gifts were amazing and generously thoughtful including a delicious home baked cake. The cottage location is superb. It is in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale, close to all amenities and within easy reach of the Dales and the Lakes and the hot tub is a delightful added touch after a day exploring. The views surrounding are fabulous. We hope to return one day.
Will come again!

We've visited Kirkby Lonsdole countless times over the years, and Ruskin's View is definitely one of the best places we've ever stayed. Right in the centre of town it still feels incredibly peaceful and private. The cottage is even more spacious and comfortable than the photos suggest. We loved the hot tub too. The kitchen is high spec with all mod cons. Neil & Gill were excellent hosts and let us know they were on hand should we need anything. A fabulous, cosy place to have spent Christmas & highly recommended.

It’s central location is ideal for all amenities and the hot tub is a joy after a busy day’s activities…see you again next year!

Our second visit to Ruskins View, to celebrate our Ruby Anniversary. Everything about this place is perfect, cleanliness, facilities, location, friendliness.. just amazing. We just feel at home here and the view is to die for looking out over Ruskins…. Wonderful.
The owners are friendly and welcoming but not intrusive, the location is peaceful but with the advantage of having so many restaurants, bars and bespoke shops just round the corner.
The cottage is equipped and decorated to an amazing standard and dining in is a pleasure especially if you purchase meat from the local butcher!
We had a fabulous 7 days at Ruskins, the weather was varied!… but we still enjoyed our stay, made the most of the hot tub and hot out and about to our favourite places.
We will definitely return.

My wife and self have used holiday cottages for many years, and this is the very best we have ever experienced.. there is nothing sub standard about it. The owners are friendly and caring, without being too involved.
The location, which we know quite well, is also ideal…….only about 30 minutes drive from Windermere, without the hassle of ‘the very busy Lake district’
We definitely plan a further visit/s.
Thanks,
George of Oswestry.

In the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale, but you would never have known it as the location and cottage are so peaceful. The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and is very well equipped (the hot tub is clinically clean and always at working temperature). The actual ‘Ruskin’s View’ can be enjoyed from one of the bedrooms. The welcome pack included a delicious home made sponge cake as well as other essentials to ensure the first breakfast is covered. Neil and Gill are welcoming, but discreet hosts. Very short walk to restaurants and shops (‘No 9’ is particularly recommended for its atmosphere and tapas style dishes). Private parking right next to the cottage. If you have an EV, Booths supermarket (100m away) has 4 Instavolt chargers (50kWh). Absolutely no hesitation in giving this cottage a big thumbs up

Had the best holiday at Ruskin View Cottage. The property is immaculately decorated and spotlessly clean Neil has thought of everything to leave for your stay with comprehensive instructions on how to use the appliances which was appreciated. It is situated right in the middle of the town which makes it so easy to get to the shops and walks from your doorstep. With the added extra of the hot tub which we used every night and the welcome hamper and homemade cake it was appreciated. Hoping to return very soon

This was our third stay and the cottage was as good as ever.
It is ideally located for both The Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
The cottage has everything you might need and lots of useful extra touches that make it a home from home.
I can’t recommend it highly enough. It is quite simply perfect.

Ruskins View is truly a magnificent cottage. the location is amazing, right in the heart of Kirby Lonsdale but with stunning views over the country side. It’s so peaceful, but convenient to be able to walk to the lovely eateries and pubs and lovely local individual shops.
The cottage is absolutely spotless and looks brand new. A welcome hamper beyond belief with fresh bread, jam, eggs, ale, biscuits, butter and Prosecco in the fridge AND a homemade Victoria sponge freshly made sitting on the side begging to be eaten!
The cottage is spacious but cosy and has all the facilities, and more, that you would possibly need for a perfect stay. A lovely rainfall shower in the bathroom as well as a bath, all spotless and with Bath House toiletries too. The bedrooms are big, spacious and light and we look forward to returning in the summer months so we can sit out on the balcony and take in the peace and quiet of the scenery.
There are board games a plenty, and all the little things that make a difference..candles, fresh flowers.
The kitchen is pristine with every utensil, glass, crockery, pots and pans and dishes you could ask for.
Oh! I forgot the hot tub!.. truly a bonus and so peaceful to sit in the privacy of the courtyard garden with a glass of Prosecco after a days exploring!
This is definitely one of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed in and the owners are friendly and informative but without being intrusive. We hope to return to Ruskins View again and again.
We have been visiting the Yorkshire Dales for many years and visit Kirkby Lonsdale every time as part of our “go to” favourite. It has everything : first class butcher, bakery plus lots of place to eat. And a supermarket just two minutes away… everything you need for a perfect break.

Everything has been thought of but (Could we have a tv in the twin bedroom please)?
Fantastic location with all that Kirkby lonsdale has to offer on the door step.
We will most definitely be back… and can not wait..
Thankyou so much, you made a 65th birthday celebration complete.
This property is excellent. It is clean, comfortable, modern with every amenity needed. It is in a perfect location and I will definitely book it again.

The home has looked brand new and spotless since we started coming in 2018! They keep it immaculate, which means we always know what to expect.
Kirkby Lonsdale is full of great shops, and we went out a lot this holiday to visit surrounding villages and family.
Look forward to our next trip! Highly recommended.

We has a great weeks holiday and would highly recommend. Superb!!

Ruskins View Cottage is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed! I spotted it out when looking to book somewhere for a mini honeymoon and this was just perfect.
Attention to detail with everything you could possibly think of, the cottage was spotless and had everything you could need and more.
The hot tub was a lovely little downtime in the evening also.
Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this luxurious, modern 5* cottage with amazing views. A perfect place for a relaxing break.
The cottage is located close to the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale with everything you should need within walking distance e.g. restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops. Everywhere we went everyone was friendly and helpful.
In fact, the cottage has everything you need to just stay there and not move if you wanted to.
It has the added bonus of parking which is rare in the town.
A soak in the hot tub is a must after a long walk and is perfect for any aching muscles.
Thank you to Neil for the warm and friendly welcome and the hamper of deluxe local goodies was much appreciated meaning you don’t need to venture out for supplies as soon as you arrive
We will definitely be booking again soon as we could easily have stayed for another few days.
Lovely accommodation in an amazing location.

There really isn't much to say about Ruskin's View Cottage; it is one of the most beautiful places I have had the privilege to stay. It was such a stunning place to wake up each morning and we were made to feel very welcome with the hamper on arrival. I won't hesitate to go back.

Our 2nd visit to Ruskin View. Can't fault this cottage. Tucked away so lovely and private yet right in the middle of Kirkby Lonsdale so ideal for meals /drinks out and a v short walk home. Nice to have a bit of luxury with the hottub and the interior of cottage is perfect. Very stylish yet cosy. Everything you need for a lovely holiday is here. Highly recommend.

My wife and myself have stayed in Kirkby Lonsdale at least 20 times over a number of years, in several differing types of accommodation. This is our second New Year at Ruskin's View and it served to reinforce our initial impression: This is about as good as it gets! The cottage is centrally located, beautifully appointed and lavishly equiped with high quality furnishings and appliances. Although in the middle of the town the cottage has dedicated parking (a huge plus in Kirkby) and offers private outside space with the benefit of a hot tub. And altough New Year is not the best time to take advantage there is also a private roof terrace overlooking the church yard. The hosts are generousity itself providing a lovely welcome hamper with a variety of local produce and a bottle of fizz to be enjoyed at your leisure. Although they live nextdoor there is no sense of intrusion and it is reassuring to know that they are at hand if ever needed.
Kirkby itself is a delightful market town full of independent shops, a great brewery and numerous good bars/restaurants. It is also very well situated for the lakes, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland, to name but a few. In short the accommodation, the hosts and the location add up to a winning formula that we would recommend whole heartedly.
Our 4th stay. We love it! Relaxing Christmas break.

As always the home was spotless, welcoming and they had sprinkled it with Christmas magic too. Tastefully decorated, a wonderful home from home.
Thank you again and we can’t wait till our next booking.

This was our second stay here and it was just as perfect this time.
The location is great; close enough to the town but still incredibly quiet once inside.
The interior is lovely with lots of nice touches. Fabulous welcome hamper too.
Can’t wait to come back.

The house is immaculate, full of light and luxuriously comfortable. The view from the bed is glorious.
The extra touches such as the bath house toiletries, bathrobes and a thoughtful welcome hamper are fab. The hot tub is a welcome activity after being outdoors all day.
It’s perfectly located in the centre but still gives you a quiet night’s sleep as it’s set back.
I would definitely stay again.
Fanatic location, quality and detail.

Sometimes I get suspicious when I see nothing but glowing reviews, but Ruskin's View really does deserve them. I can add little to all the praise already recorded on this site – the house is so special – so I would just urge you to find a slot when it's available and book. We'll certainly be back (second stay just completed, and the house is still as immaculate as it was a year ago).
A haven in the hills.

This cottage is stunningly well located and a beautiful renovation. Its position in the lovely market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is unsurpassed and the level of equipment amazing. It has been thoughtfully furnished and and the views across the churchyard from the bedroom terrace are good for the soul.
After a very long journey we were delighted to discover the large sponge and sparkling wine ready chilling in the fridge.
We are highly likely to revisit.

We stayed for four nights. The cottage is stunning. It felt like we were the first people to have stayed there - it was immaculate. Everything is very high quality from the doors / flooring to the kitchen / bathrooms. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with everything you could ever need, including a picnic basket.
The welcome pack was incredibly generous. The location was wonderful - step outside your front door and you're in the beautiful village of Kirkby Lonsdale but it's very quiet in the cottage and sitting in the garden and hotub.
Can't recommend this cottage enough!! Wonderful!! We'll be back!!

The cottage was immaculate, very reassuring during these times. Very comfortable and plenty of room, Loved everything about it. Beautiful, well equipped kitchen, although we only used the toaster and coffee machine as there were so many lovely places to eat out within a 2 minute walk!
Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

I couldn't recommend this more highly. The cottage was spacious and immaculately presented. Very convenient for the town only a 1 minute walk to the shops with easy parking but in a lovely quiet location with amazing views. The cottage came with lots of lovely little touches like a welcome basket with eggs, jam, bread, milk, butter and even a a homemade cake. Also other essentials were supplied like tea, coffee, cereal etc. The owners were also very friendly and welcoming and you would often see them out with their dog walking around the town. The hot tub was also a bonus and great way to relax after a day out exploring, they also supplied towelling robes for this. Overall an amazing week in a beautiful location, we hope to be back next year.
Another excellent stay

This was our second stay in under a year and once again, everything was just perfect. The cottage is perfectly located - near to shops and restaurants, yet beautifully secluded and peaceful. Fully equipped with everything you could need, it's furnished to a very high standard and immaculately maintained. A very useful welcome pack is provided along with a delicious (and large!) Victoria sponge. Externally there are two areas where you can sit outside to eat or enjoy the sun when it shines and the hot tub can be enjoyed in all weathers. Kirkby Lonsdale is the ideal base for touring the local area. There are lots of walks and places to visit just a short drive away. Definitely the best cottage we have stayed in.

This was our second stay at Ruskins View and we loved it just as much as our first visit. The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and equipped to the highest standard. The owners live next door and are there to help if you need anything and provide the most amazing welcome hamper. The cottage is tucked away in a quiet corner of Kirkby Lonsdale but still very close to all the lovely independent shops. We discovered the ice cream shop this time , which was very good. The surrounding area is great for walking and there is also walking direct from the cottage. We enjoyed a stroll beside the river Lune most evenings. This is a truly fantastic cottage and we have already booked out next visit.

It is so comfortable and spacious, so clean and immaculate and so well equipped with everything you could need. We were made so welcome by the owners and nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to returning before too long.

From the first minute you arrive to the last minute when you have to leave this is just perfect. Neil and Jill are wonderful hosts along with their dog Milo who is just as welcoming. Nothing is left to chance everything is absolutely amazing. We stayed for 11 nights over Xmas and arrived to a magnificent house with everything you would want to to ultimate highest standards. There was a Xmas tree in the living room and a beautiful welcome hamper with bread prosecco eggs biscuits and things too many to mention. There was milk and butter in the fridge and a massive home made chocolate cake just for us. There was everything including tea coffee sugar coffee machine and pods for that machine. The house is to the highest quality possible and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. We have been coming to Kirkby Lonsdale for years and the privacy of this house behind gates and without the worry of where to park on your return is truly the belt. Views over the Lune and Ruskin's View along with the beautiful church must not be missed. The best house we have stayed in by far. We will definately be back

It is hard to know where to start, as everything in the cottage was perfect. Probably the first thing to note is this is not a second home, it is just holiday accommodation. Everything is designed to ensure you have a lovely relaxing time on your holiday.
So many things have been thought of; from hot water bottles if the weather is cold to fans if it is hot. The interior has a fresh scandi-vibe, with a light and airy decor. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything you might need. The outdoor spaces are very private, with a lovely roof terrace and courtyard with a hot tub.
The owners live next door, and are helpful when needed, but are not intrusive in any way. Oh and finally there was an incredible welcome pack, cake, prosecco, biscuits, milk, eggs, and lots more.
I am already looking at dates for next year as I can’t wait to return.

Our second stay in Ruskin’s View Cottage and as with our first visit last year everything was absolutely perfect. The cottage is fantastic (clean, comfortable, spacious and well-equipped) and the location is brilliant (very private and peaceful with really good eating places/shops and lovely walks from the doorstep). We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a busy day exploring the lovely surrounding area. We will be back for a third time - thank you for making us so welcome and our holiday so special.
Just perfect!

We recently stayed for a week at Ruskin's View. It is situated in the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and is ideally suited for visiting nearby places of interest. The cottage is extremely private, tucked away in a quiet corner of the town, yet seconds away from local amenities.
The cottage itself is stunning and the owners, who live in the adjacent property, have thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
The welcome pack was a lovely selection of local produce, including a delicious Victoria sponge. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean with spacious rooms, equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The upstairs bathroom has both a bath and generous sized shower and the locally produced toiletries were a touch of luxury.
We were fortunate enough to stay there during a heat wave and were able to make use of the outside space. The downstairs patio (complete with hot tub) caught the sun from the early morning, while the upstairs balcony, overlooking a peaceful churchyard, was still bathed in sunshine well into the evening.
This is definitely a five star property and we would highly recommend Ruskin's View both for the location and for the standard of accommodation it provides.
Wonderful week at Ruskin's View

We had a fabulous week at this wonderful cottage and location. Ruskin's View catered for our every need a beautiful spotlessly clean property with a lovely roof garden with lovely views and an amazing hot tub. We cannot thank Neil and Gill enough for their hospitality and the more than generous welcome pack. We especially enjoyed the Prosecco fresh bread and beautiful cake. Kirkby Lonsdale is a lovely place to visit with great shops and pubs and everyone very helpful and friendly. We are definetly planning to return again one day and cannot recommend Ruskin's View highly enough.
Best of all worlds!

A great combination of a stylish, comfortable, well-equipped home in the perfect location: peaceful, with far-reaching rural views, yet in the heart of a delightful, lively town. Nearest grocery store 30 seconds away; and two secure parking spaces to boot. We got all the support we needed from the friendly owner Neil, living next door (in what looks to be an even more beautiful property!) but he was never intrusive. We were please to book a shortish (5 night) break, even in mid-July. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Ruskin’s View Cottage for a week with our 2 boys, aged 9 & 12. The cottage is absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated, very clean and very comfortable. Our hosts were lovely and on hand if we needed anything.
We can’t fault this cottage in any way, from the lovely welcome pack that greeted us to the breathtaking view, it was just perfect. It is in a superb location ... we walked from the cottage every day apart from one day when we travelled to Grizedale Forest to do Go Ape. We had a very relaxing holiday and finished each day in the gorgeous hot tub. Five star! Would highly recommend Ruskin’s View and Mill House Cottages in general. This is our third visit, we have stayed at The Pavillion twice as a couple and Ruskin’s View as a family. We will be booking again as soon as we can.

We had a fantastic 10 night break at Ruskin View. It's a beautiful cottage, fully equipped to the highest standard and in a perfect location. The cottage is absolutely 5 star. Contemporary, well designed yet cosy and with the added bonus of the hottub. Honestly I can't reccommend enough.
We arrived at about 9pm at night after a longish drive to prosecco in the fridge, a lovely hamper and a homemade cake. So thoughtful. Neil was v helpful throughout our stay but also completely unobtrusive. Kirkby Lonsdale itself is a gorgeous town. Brilliant park for kids and lovely foodie pubs for the adults. Walks down by the river, even in the rain were lovely. A perfect spot too, as a base to explore Cumbria and the Lake District. Will definately be back.

My wife and I spent a hugely enjoyable New Years break in Ruskin's View Cottage. We have travelled extensively in the UK over the last 30 years and this property is without doubt one of the best we have ever stayed in. It is centrally located in the lovely town of Kirkby Lonsdale and has dedicated, secure parking, a real bonus in Kirkby where parking is always at a premium. Despite its central location the cottage has private outside space comprising a court yard with an excellent hot tub and a roof terrace with lovely views over the church yard. The accommodation is beautifully appointed and lavishly equipped with high quality furnishings and a first rate kitchen. If you don't want to cook Kirkby's extensive choice of restaurants and pubs are a stone's throw away. The owners, who live next door, were most welcoming but never intrusive and provided by far the most generous welcome pack that we have ever seen, the large homemade cake being a particular highlight. We cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Another week spent in this immaculate cottage, on arrival the cottage was christmas ready, with a beautiful tree and lovely decorations throughout. There was also a superb hamper with a very unexpected but most welcomed bottle of champagne, great way to start off our christmas break. We love Kirkby Lonsdale, but this cottage definitely has the wow factor, in its furnishings and features.
If I did have a comment to make it would be that the tv is small and could be a bit bigger to help us oldies read the guide and menus, other than that a perfect place to stay.

We stayed a week in this lovely cottage and found it to be perfect. It is located in the centre of Kirky Lonsdale and has a good selection of restaurants within a few minutes walk. It is tucked away through private gates with it's own parking spaces and beautiful views. It was spotlessly clean, finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. The welcome hamper was fantastic and very much appreciated. We loved everything about it and would definitely come back.

Lovely 6-night break in this cottage. Everything you could want for was there, even down to his and hers matching umbrella's! Especially grateful for the hamper of goodies and fresh produce in the fridge which included Prosecco and Beers. Homemade Victoria sandwich cake lasted us the whole break. Neil (the owner) was very friendly and went out of his way to help if you needed him.

We found Ruskin View spacious, modern, fresh property in central Kirkby Lonsdale. The property is down a very narrow road where you have to lower and replace a single barrier post on entry, but it really is not a ptoblem, lots of friendly neighbours and passing locals helped with this voluntarily. Property quite large, modern and fresh, light and airy. Also well equipped. Large variety of shops within walking distance. The owners very friendly and available if required, but left us alone to enjoy our stay. Great time despite weather and we would come back again.
Great week in Kirkby Lonsdale

We had a wonderful stay at Ruskin View. The cottage is fantastic with everything provided you could imagine ( inc a very welcome hamper on arrival). The location is spot on for exploring the surrounding area and everything in the town is on the doorstep. Some very good eateries near by, especially Palo’s. Would definitely recommend this property. We would love to return, however we will soon have a canine member in the family, so sadly this won’t be possible. Many thanks to the owners for making our stay so comfortable.

Great house in a great location with lovely views. It was well-equipped, clean and tidy. The roof terrace was fantastic during the summer days and evenings. We would highly recommend this property.
A very relaxing and enjoyable stay

Wow, what can I say... from the moment the gates to the cottage opened we were in awe at how peaceful and secluded the setting was given you are in the heart of the village. The cottage went above and beyond our expectations and the photos don’t do the space justice. It had all the facilities plus more that you could need and a beautiful welcome hamper with local produce and a delicious cake! I would highly recommend staying at this hidden gem!
Wow wow wow

We have stayed with Mill House Cottages before so we knew their standards and therefore had very high expectations. Ruskin’s View Cottage exceeded all those expectations! Everything was first class in the cottage including the lovely warm welcome from Neil and Gill. The location is excellent. It’s like staying in a secret corner of Kirkby Lonsdale and yet everything you could want or need is on the doorstep. Kirkby Lonsdale is a lovely town and very convenient for exploring Westmorland. Thank you Neil and Gill for helping to make our stay at Ruskin’s View Cottage so perfect. We will be back.
Perfect Relaxing Break.

My wife and I stayed at Ruskin’s View for a week in June. The cottage was fitted and furnished to the highest standard and was immaculately clean.
Kirkby Lonsdale is a smashing wee town with many welcoming pubs, restaurants and fantastic independent shops.
After a day walking in the Yorkshire Dales or climbing the Lake District fells Ruskin’s View and it’s amazing hot tub is the perfect place to ease your aching feet!
Stunning!

Stunning cottage - the best we’ve ever stayed in. We would definitely return. Everything was top quality and every detail had been thought through including maps and walking books, umberellas, rainy day games and even a home baked cake! Location was ideal right in the village centre but still very private and with amazing views.

Just stayed here for a week. The property is outstanding, and the facilities are exceptional. There are great views over the churchyard and on the other side, Ruskin's View (river and hills)......sublime. Given the location, parking is a serious bonus and once inside it feels very private and grand. There was a welcome pack on arrival which was a lovely thought and it included an array of provisions. The owners live next door and are extremely helpful and friendly - couldn't do enough for you. All the amenities within the cottage are first class and great pride and care is taken to ensure a very comfortable stay. The hot tub is a very nice touch and great to relax in after a long day's walk. Shops and services are literally on the doorstep and it is a fabulous location to explore the West Yorkshire Dales and the Southern Lake District. If you like excellent food, Cartmel is only a short drive away and well worth the visit. We dined at Rogan and Co in Cartmel and their lunchtime specials are excellent.
We liked the cottage so much that we have already booked to stay there next year.
Ruskin View is a delightful house

Ruskin View is a delightful house set just off the main street but manages to be quiet except for the birds and the church bells - what could be more relaxing? The house is clean, modern, well equipped, warm and very comfortable. The view, across the owners' garden, is stunning. So thank you Neil and Jill for being such good hosts.
Wonderful cottage, great location

A lovely cottage with all modern amenities. Very comfortable and relaxing, lovely to come back to at the end of the day. Great location right in the middle of Kirkby Lonsdale but still very quiet.
Wonderful base for the whole area and lots to see and do. Would definitely recommend!
What a find!

We had one of the best holidays staying at Ruskin's View. The property is stunning and finished to a fantastic level. Everything you could want was ready to hand including a hamper of local produce to kick start the holiday. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and finished off the perfect holiday rental. Kirkby Lonsdale is a little gem too. We'll definitely have to come again!
Ruskin's view - a real treat

We stayed in Ruskin's view for 5 nights. A really friendly welcome (plus pack) when we got there and we were delighted with the location and quality of the accommodation. Lovely and peaceful while literally being in the middle of Kirkby Lonsdale - a beautiful town with plenty of excellent eateries (make sure you're hungry before you go to the Bakers for breakfast!!) and interesting shops.
And we were next door to the stunning Ruskin's view. Beautiful. Would love to go back to sample more of the area and would definitely books this cottage again. Thank you Neil and Gill.
Beautiful Cottage!

We had a wonderful stay at Ruskins View Cottage towards the end of February.
The finish is excellent and thought has gone into every room, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook & bake. The location is great, hidden away but a stones throw from the centre of town.
A beautiful cottage, thank you!

Wow Wow Wow! What a fantastic cottage. Everything about Ruskins View is 5 * - the facilities, the location, the views.
The owners are friendly & helpful & left us a wonderful welcome hamper.
The cottage is tastefully decorated throughout & they have literally thought of everything.
Hot tub is such a lovely touch.
Can’t wait to return.

What a find Ruskins view was. Without doubt one of the best locations, not only for visiting local towns and villages but also the views were amazing. The town of Kirkby Lonsdale has everything to offer, from great eateries and pubs to small quaint shops. The Cottage itself is outstanding, from everything you could ever need in a kitchen, to comfy beds, underfloor heating and a fab hot tub. We will defiantly be back to stay again.
A delight

Everything you’ see in the photos and more...
My wife and I have visited and stayed in Kirkby Lonsdale many times but this place is hands down the best yet. Amazing views, tons of space, high quality throughout and super clean. On top of that there’s a hot tub, parking and a generous welcome. Can’t wait to come back. Ruskin view cottage saved a very wet long weekend.
Thanks Neil and Gill!
Just perfect!

Everything about the property was excellent. To be able to wake up to the view at the back of the property was truly uplifting but then to be able to access the town and all its amenities within a minute's walk was the icing on the cake. Neil and Gill had put such thought into this property. Not a single item had been missed in making your stay much more than a home from home. And what a home. If you wanted to take a picnic there was a beautiful hamper and a waterproofed blanket for your excursion. If you wanted to stay in and avoid the distraction of the television then there were games aplenty. However if, like my husband, you found yourself gripped by Netflix and 'The Crown' there was entertainment every evening.
The welcome hamper was so generous that we cursed ourselves for bringing so much food. If you turned up without your own provisions then I feel sure you could manage for one night with what was provided. But with so many great shops within walking distance you could feed the five thousand after a 30 minute walk around.
Stunning property in a lovely location

Ruskin’s view cottage is a luxurious place to stay for a break in the Lake District. We were lucky enough to be one of the first people to stay there and we absolutely loved it!
The property has been renovated to the highest standard and is in a brilliant location in the beautiful town of Kirkby Lonsdale. The hot tub is in a private courtyard and there is a nice roof terrace overlooking the church and grounds which gets the evening sun. Neil and Gill kindly left some food and refreshments for us on arrival which was a nice touch, and Neil was on hand and attentive to any queries we had.
Ruskins view cottage is great - you won’t regret booking it!
Excellent all round!

Cannot praise this cottage highly enough. Located in the middle of town , although you wouldn't know it, hidden away behind a secure gate with idyllic views from the driveway. Secluded courtyard with hot tub and patio furniture . Everything is to the highest standard. Within an easy car drive of the lakes. Loads to see and do. Also walks around the town itself.

This was our first holiday with our 9 month old daughter. The property is very modern and open plan. Plenty of space for here to play. The location is perfect and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. The hot tub is also nice for relaxing in. Booking was very easy and the information and details supplied were very useful. We will definatly be returning and hopefully booking the property in France for our holiday next year.
