We stayed at The Nook for 5 nights and we had the best time. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and the gardens are perfect. We had such a relaxing restful time.
All the rooms are modern but with the original features still intact which made the house feel very comfortable.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious and extremely comfortable.
We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket which included a delicious lemon drizzle cake and freshly laid eggs and homemade damson gin, and Ben the owner popped round to make sure that everything was ok.
We visited lots of different locations nearby including the Lakes which were easy to get to from Arkholme which was a lovely village in itself.
We will definitely be visiting The Nook again, thank you Ben, Emily and the girls

This is a beautiful house in a great location allowing access to the dales or the coast. House very well equipped and cosy. Great service from Mill hill and very pleasant owner. This area is well served for foodies with many restaurants and lovely local shops. All in all, after 2 weeks, no complaints only great memories!

The Nook is a fabulous cottage set in a very quiet lane not far from Kirkby Lonsdale. The garden was beautiful, well fenced, private and our dog loved it. The cottage is very luxurious with 2 huge bedrooms and 2 super en-suites, the master having a roll top bath. The welcome pack on arrival was a thoughtful gesture which was a lovely surprise and most welcome. We also loved the addition of the garage with the connecting door into the cottage. We would highly recommend a stay here.

A lovely warm cottage which had been decorated for our Christmas stay. We felt the bedrooms were a bit sparsely furnished and could be made a little cosier - e.g. a chair and second bedroom had no dressing table. We had constant problems with the Roman blinds even though the owner came and thought they were fixed. Otherwise very well equipped and comfortable.

A truly lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage, well maintained and fitted. The adjoining barn/garage is ideal for storing walking boots and clothes, not to mention wine. Arkholme is an attractive village of stone buidlings a short walk from the river Lune and ideal for dog owners. The location provides ease of access to The Lakes to the West and The Dales to the East.

This cottage was a real find and I suspect we will return. It was very tastefully renovated with superb bathrooms and very comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and the old garden is lovely. We especially enjoyed the lemon drizzle cake and weren't expecting free range eggs laid for our delectation by the owners' chickens !
Even the weather was better than we were expecting so all told it was a lovely break , the only disappointment being the sudden closure of the pub in the village.



Amazing cottage in a great location.

A very comfortable stay in a lovely location. The village is excellent and within easy reach of Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire. In addition there are lovely walks along the River Lune to Kirkby Lonsdale, itself a delightful busy market town, were enjoyed by us and our dog, Jack. The ability to park the car and dry off wet boots and coats in the large interconnected barn (?) is an added bonus.

Another really enjoyable stay at the Nook. Made to feel welcome by the owners who left a lovely lemon drizzle cake and an excellent bottle of wine. The general area is outstanding for scenery and the walking is excellent. The standard of the cottage is outstanding with really comfortable beds and superb bathrooms. The kitchen is excellently equipped and the dining room and sitting room are great for relaxing. Despite it being late September we were able to enjoy taking afternoon tea in the lovely garden. Will certainly return.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Nook earlier this month. The cottage had everything that you could wish for and was an ideal base to explore the Yorkshire Dales. It was great to find a selection of items including wine and home made cake on arrival. There was also treats for the dog! The location is beautifully quiet and the garden was lovely to sit out in. The owner lives close by and called in during our stay to make sure we had all we needed. We would highly recommend the cottage.

The Nook was a great place to stay with a lovely garden. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds extremely comfortable. There was a very generous welcome pack when we arrived which was much appreciated. Arkholme is very well located with easy access to lots of interesting locations and walks. This was the first time we had been to this part of Lancashire and we were impressed by the beautiful countryside and the pretty villages. We can thoroughly recommend the restaurant/pub in the village - we ate there twice and were very impressed by the quality of the food. We would definitely recommend The Nook for a relaxing break.

We enjoyed our stay at The Nook. The location, though a 15 minute drive from Kirkby Lonsdale, is perfect for peace and quiet, and provides easy access to Arnside, Silverdale and Morecambe to the west. The cottage is very well equipped and has a private lawned garden to the rear with good quality garden furniture. The main bedroom has lots of storage space and a huge, comfortable bed. Parking the car is easy using the barn next door (and you are able to transfer luggage from there, through a connecting door, directly into the cottage). Beware of the low kitchen doorway if you are taller than 5’ 10”!! Plenty of hot water to service that large bath. Restaurant Carter (200 metres away) serves excellent Michelin standard meals with friendly, unpretentious service. Also recommended is Number 9 in KL for a tapas style menu and really nice atmosphere. Booths in KL is an excellent, quality supermarket to stock up on essentials and ready meals. Plenty of walks in the area (the river is 200m away at the end of the road).

This was our second holiday in The Nook, and it did not disappoint. We had a fantastic time walking every day and coming back to sit in the beautiful garden, in the early evening. Ben and Emily had left us a basket of homemade treats in the kitchen and fresh eggs from their hens. As soon as we stepped into the cottage we felt relaxed and comfortable and it certainly deserves its 5 star rating.

Just had a wonderful week at the Nook, A very comfortable warm house with an enclosed garden for the dog. Set in the village of Arkholme, it was the perfect location to explore the Lune Valley, Howgill fells and the South Lakes.

We were very fortunate with the weather, which was simply amazing for March, Blue Sky and 18 degrees every day. I would stay here again if and when we visit this area again.

Full of character is this 250 year old building that has been tastefully refurbished to provide a high standard of accommodation that really is home from home. Would love to return in the summer when the garden is looking its best and the views are fabulous. The Barn with its remote control door is a great feature, particularly for loading and unloading the luggage and for parking the car. Walks from the door and a gastropub at the end of the road to boot.

Our weeks stay at Nook Cottage was amazing, the cottage was very tastefully decorated and all the rooms were large but still cosy ,ideal for four adults .

We would definitely go again and book with Mill House cottages whose properties are always of the highest standard.

We had a lovely week's stay at the Nook.

Upon arrival, we was greeted by a welcome hamper of goodies. Wine, biscuits, cake and much more. The house itself is beautiful, rustic yet modern, very comfortable and functional. The surrounding area is very quiet and scenic.
All information required was within a folder left in the dinning area. This gave recommendations of local walks, restaurants, bars and other attractions.
Really enjoyed the wood burner, the dogs loved curling up in front of the fire.

All in all, had a great time and would go again.

Thoroughly recommend a meal out in the Bay Horse at the end of the road.

Another absolute quality cottage as we’ve come to expect from Mill House Cottages. We loved the way the traditional features of the cottage were combined with elegant contemporary interior design. The garden was both beautiful and tranquil, and thanks to some gorgeous weather we had most of our meals out there. The location is perfect for anyone like us wishing to complete the Dales 30. Our only disappointment was that the pub at the end of the lane had their opening pushed back, the restaurant looks like it will be one to visit, so future guests will benefit from a great eatery a five minute stroll away. A truly five star accommodation that we would highly recommend.

My wife and I have stayed at some amazing places and this is right up there with the best.
The website doesn't do it justice.
Immaculately presented, spotlessly clean, beautiful gardens and stocked with everything you will need. The garage was a great bonus.
Plenty of useful information for things to see. (Do take the walk along the river to Gressingham bridge)
We are already discussing bringing friends back next year.
You won't be disappointed!

My daughter and I spent a fabulous fortnight in the Nook. Ben and Emily were very kind and friendly hosts. Their goodie hamper was the best we have ever had. We went walking every day even though the weather was very mixed and in the late afternoons or early evenings took full advantage of the lovely garden and were entertained by the little black lambs in the field behind. Comfy beds, scrupulously clean and warm cottage, and beautiful scenery. What more could you ask for.



Wow !

A beautiful cottage set in a stunning location. We loved our stay st The Nook and spent many mornings enjoying breakfast in the gorgeous and very private garden. Emily, the owner of the cottage, was very helpful and responsive to any queries we had and her welcome home made goodies were delicious! We’d highly recommend The Nook for a relaxing stay with lots of walks on the doorstep.

Perfect for long country walks and visiting the lakes. Clean, warm, inviting and very relaxing. The cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished and had a wonderful charm about it. Welcome basket on arrival was a lovely touch and the hosts had even thought to leave things like dog towels and bowls. There was plenty of wood for the log burner and even though we didn’t use the garden, I can see how it would be lovely to sit out there in the summer. Thank you for a lovely stay. We hope to return one day.

We are returning guests to The Nook. It’s a delightful property & ticks all the boxes for us.

We were able to relax, recharge & celebrate our daughters birthday in such a homely cottage which is very well equipped for all our needs.

The hamper & homemade goodies made us feel very welcome & such a delight ! Thanks again to Ben & Emily for your kindness & hospitality.

My husband and I were lucky enough to stay at the Nook in glorious weather, making our stay perfect in every way.
The cottage was beautiful inside and out. It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay (and lots of little extras too). So much to do in the area and beautiful surroundings with walks from right outside the door. So peaceful and yet within easy reach of anything you could need.
(special recommendation for Kirkby Lonsdale and the Ingleton Falls Trail....awesome!!)

Excellent stay, great cottage and the garden is superb too. Good location for walks and driving into Kirkby Lonsdale. Easy booking and arrangements through Mill House. Only improvement would be the local pub in the village opening again (which we understand is happening) but you can't blame the Nook Cottage for that. Would definitely return and stay again. Thanks

We had a wonderful stay at the Nook. It is a stunning character cottage, beautifully fitted out with a gorgeous mature garden (the first garden ever to prevent our Labrador from escaping!). We saw lots of birds and a cute stoat whilst sitting in the sunny garden. Lovely spacious bathrooms for each bedroom. The beds were so comfortable, we had the best sleep. The log burner is great for the colder nights. Good range of garden furniture for sitting out for breakfast/bbqs. Nice welcome pack with the most delicious lemon drizzle cake and damson gin. Close to lovely walks down the river. We enjoyed our week so much we asked if we could buy it!

WOW what an amazing cottage in a beautiful part of the county. Hosts could not do enough and property was spotlessly clean the extra safety measures for Covid meant we had a relaxing holiday. The little extra touches like eggs from the owners chickens, home made damson gin (delicious) and lemon cake (amazing) made us feel really welcome. We will most definitely be back to stay in this beautiful cottage - thank you.

The Nook was very nice, lots of room for our family of 4. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. The living area and dining room were really nice. The little touches made all the difference - homemade cake, damson gin, colouring books and pens for the children and fresh flowers. We were made to feel very welcome by Millhouse cottages and the owners Ben & Emily. The location is in close proximity to Kirkby Lonsdale and we would definitely recommend a stay.

Our first time away at Christmas and i couldn't have picked a better place to spend it. This wee cottage turned out to a lot bigger than i thought it would be, stunning and cosy lounge with log burner with a little chill area at the back with 2 single chairs, and a beautiful Christmas tree just made the lounge even more homely, modern kitchen with a welcome hamper with goodies including red wine, home made damson gin and home made lemon cake (which i brought home and was delicious). The owners came to the house when we were staying and made sure everything was ok. Two large bedrooms the main has a super king size which was massive so comfy and the modern bathroom and shower rooms looked amazing. Only thing would warn people of is the low doors, I'm 6ft 3 and had to duck down few times :). Will definitely be back.

Very well appointed cottage in a good position. Welcoming pack included a delicious cake and brownies and an excellent bottle of wine. Owners on hand to make sure we had everything we needed (we did). Barn garage adjacent with electric doors, great for coming in with muddy boots and dog. Very comfortable beds. Lovely garden and views.
This cottage is perfectly positioned between the Dales and the Lake District.
Very fast broadband.
Chairs and sofas very comfortable (which is not always the case.
The pictures on the web site don’t do it justice.

The Nook is a stunning property - it is better, and much larger, than the photos suggest. It is immaculately kept and all fittings are of a high standard and of good quality. It was a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful cottage. There was a lot of helpful information in the cottage, along with some delicious welcome gifts from the owners, who obviously put their hearts into this project. It is in an ideal location, and has a lovely enclosed garden which we enjoyed sitting in.

Such a beautiful cottage, had the most amazing time. Superbly dog friendly yet you wouldn’t have guessed a dog had even been there. Just mind your head between the kitchen and dining room. It took 10 bashes on hubby’s head before he learned to duck! Very accessible for the lakes and sea. Superb dog walks. We will definitely be back.

The Nook was certainly the place to relax & recharge after a busy few weeks. Booking was simple, the accommodation is ample for 4 people & one dog, if anything the photos do not do the space justice as it was definitely larger than we anticipated.
Great for exploring the local area. Managed to explore a couple of walks in Arkholme, which is a lovely village with very friendly locals. The Sun In at Kirkby Lonsdale provided us with an excellent evening meal. Emily and Ben were delightful, generous hosts and we were thrilled to receive the 'welcome hamper' containing essentials and locally produced goodies.
All in all - a delightful, comfortable cottage - we hope to return in the Spring.

Luxury accommodation situated in a tiny village outside the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale which has been beautifully restored and tastefully decorated. We had a lovely relaxing time here, as every amenity is provided and thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers and home baked treats. All fixtures and fittings are top notch and it feels like every attention to detail has been considered. We would very much like to return here.

This is a fabulous cottage in a lovely quiet location with a great garden overlooking rolling fields to the rear. The Nook has recently been renovated to a very high standard and Emma and Ben have put a lot of careful thought into the interior designs, furnishings and fittings. Fabulous fitted kitchen with everything you would need and more and fantastic bathrooms, I want them in my house! The bedrooms were of a great size and the beds and bedding were better than 5 star hotels. Lounge was perfect for chilling and enjoying a little TV time, just perfect. I bet in winter it is so cosy and warm, in fac5, we will be back to try it out.

Lovely Area for walks with easy access to Kirby Lonsdale, the Lakes and Yorkshire dales.

Emma and Ben could not have done any more for us, as hosts they are perfect. Flowers in all Rooms, welcome hamper with lots of lovely goodies, w8ne and home made cake and cookies.

I would highly recommend to anyone.

Thanks Emma, Ben and family from Jackie, Andy and Molly the little dog.

What an amazing job Ben and Emily have done with this place. The cottage is beautifully furnished and set in a lovely village. We loved sitting outside in the morning having breakfast and listening to the lambs at the bottom of the garden. The Nook is well equipped and the other little touches like the welcome treats make this place feel truly 5 star! Can't wait to go back.

I booked this cottage for the Easter weekend for my parents, myself and my dog Trudy. The cottage is in a lovely quiet village/town very near to Kirby Lonsdale which is wonderful town with lots of nice shops and restaurants (many of which are dog friendly). We really enjoyed walks in the nearby area and then drove to the Lake District on a couple of the days we were there for some different scenary. The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful, really well furnished, lovely big bedrooms (with very comfy beds), very large modern bathrooms and a modern kitchen. The living area is also large and very homely as there is a wood-burner. My personal favourite feature of the property is the garden because it is very pleasant and picturesque. The property was very well stocked of anything you might need in the kitchen and there are lots of maps/books for walk suggestions etc. It was the first time my parents stayed in a rental cottage (they prefer staying in hotels or B&Bs) but they had a wonderful time and said they would love to go back! Thanks for the lovely time!
