Monthly Rentals in Ravenstonedale

A very warm and cosy cottage. The kitchen was well equipped. A great place to stay for the week. The jig saw was a challenge; not completed despite 2 days of rain!!

What an absolutely stunning location! We wanted a relaxing break and this is exactly what we got. Vicki and Tom have created something really special. The Hayloft is small yet had everything we needed for a family of 5. There were plenty of books and games to enjoy. Vicki greeted us at the door, making us feel welcome and had left us some homemade treats. The kids had a blast, exploring the grounds, playing on the trampoline and climbing the nearby hill to catch a glimpse of the fighter jets flying overhead. There was a lovely walk to the river and you can roam freely over the fields. We enjoyed watching the sheep and horses roam and also saw deer, rabbits, frogs and kestrels. The house has a view of the Settle-Carlisle railway so we enjoyed a bit of train spotting too. There was so much to soak up before we even thought about heading out. The nearby town of Kirkby Stephen had plenty of shops and we enjoyed a meal from The Mango Tree Indian. We would 100% recommend a stay here!

Just got back from a two night stay for my birthday. Lovely drive to The Byre and easy to find! The first night was bad weather but we still made the most of it by going to The Fat Lamb for tea and then back to play board games by the log burner. The second day we made the most of the nicer weather by doing a nice hour walk and then walking to the King’s Arm’s for tea (defo recommend this if it’s sunny as you can sit and eat & drink by the river) The area is very peaceful and they have a lovely place which is great for couples. Enjoyed a lovely hot bath after a long walk & found the bed comfy. Great place if you’re into walking or just want somewhere to switch off from the world! Thank you again.

Shelly was a fantastic host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. The house was easy to find, though Apple Maps led us slightly past the location. She greeted us kindly and had thoughtfully left cookies, coffee, tea, and other essentials, which was a lovely touch. The place was spotless, and the bathroom was well-stocked with shampoo and conditioner (though a body wash would’ve been a nice addition). Shelly and her husband were both friendly and genuine, and their two lovely dogs added to the charm of the stay. The cleaning fee felt a bit on the higher side, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from how great the experience was. Highly recommended!
