Perfect luxury accommodation for 4 in the heart of the town. It’s our favourite place to stay in Kirkby Lonsdale, central to all amenities yet quiet and secluded. The hot tub is a bonus as is the welcome hamper! See you next year
We consider this a home from home and look forward to coming every year. Neil and Gill are such wonderful friendly hosts, and their customer service is second to none! 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.
Light and spacious, high end property with a picture perfect view from the bed. Great outdoor facilities and everything is immaculately clean. Super welcome hamper and lovely bathhouse hair and bath products. Perfect location for all amenities while being quiet with secure parking. Second stay- would love a third.
Ruskins View cottage is a hidden gem in the heart of Kirkby Lonsdale. Extremely spacious cottage with excellent secure parking. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered providing a perfect environment with all amenities you could wish for. Great walks from the door with the added bonus of a hot tub to relax in afterwards. We look forward to returning for another super holiday.
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.
Another lovely stay at Ruskin's. It always feels like you are the first to stay here, so well kept and presented. We love being able to nip out into Kirkby. Love the cake and all the thoughtful bits & bobs left for us to use. Thank you so much again.
Every detail taken care of and accommodated with comfort, space, views and fresh air! Our stay in Kirkby Lonsdale will be one of the highlights of our summer break this year, made all the better by this fantastic cottage and your thoughtful gestures on arrival - cake & prosecco! We hope to be back again soon.
Wonderfully furnished, comfortable and spotlessly clean. We've slept well and enjoyed our week despite the rain showers. Would love to return. Thank you for the delicious welcome goodies.
| Superb in ever way facilities hot tub welcome hamper and owners who couldn’t do enough for us. Our second stay here and sure won’t be the last |
| 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. |
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
What is there to say?
A beautifully appointed home set in a lovely old historic market town
Everything anyone could need on hand and more!
An absolute gem of a place
Lovely hosts who welcomed us
Cheers for the cake!
Nothing at all to fault
We will return!!
| 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. |
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.
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.
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.
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. The house and setting are fantastic, lovely and view, each room decorated and furnished to a high standard making any stay here relaxing and comfortable.
