The Copper Kettle

The hospitality at The Copper Kettle is great, as is the breakfast. Being an 'older' building the accommodation is not for the 'feint hearted' amongst you who enjoy some luxury. The amenities are in need of some refurbishment which the owners try hard to keep up, however it is ideal for serious walkers just wanting to get their heads down after a hard days trek and after a few bevvies and food at the local pub.

As a group of friends we have stopped here every year, its not for everyone and some reviews o have read have been unfair. The building is around 17th century, so thats unique on its own. Perfect location, the breakfast has always been good and the lady who runs it with her husband are friendly and knowledgeable. Our room was comfortable, dont expect the Ritz, its fantastic value, more money to spend on over priced meals in the local pubs. 6 of us stopped no complaints. We all get to stop in the same place so perfect.

Friendly, helpful owners who greeted us and showed us where to park. Very central location in a beautiful town near countryside. Super breakfast with lovely porridge, full English, and extra coffee. Dated decor but for the price and experience excellent value.

Bed was very uncomfortable a dip in it furniture was very basic antiquated could do with a makeover but other than that enjoyed trip and run by nice couple

Not the best but very good value for money. The hosts were lovely and the food was excellent. We would definitely book again for an overnight stay

Very very outdated and in poor state of repair , we had room No 5 ,, to many complaints to list , whole establishment had an aroma of burnt chip fat , which matched the food on offer , how it gets any stars is a wonder

Cheap 2* we had a great 2 night stay. It was like staying with your Nan, outdated but clean. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Very tasty full english breakfasts. Situated in the centre of Kirby Lonsdale, so good location for wandering around this small market town and devils bridge

A really nice little quirky hotel in stunning countryside. Never visited this area before but will definitely be coming back someday it is amazing.

I like the fact that the property is in the centre of Kirby Lonsdale but the property is very outdated with old and dirty fixtures and fittings. I was greeted by the landlady who was friendly enough but abrupt. My room was light and airy but hadnt been hoovered. There was dirt and other peoples hair on the carpet. The bathroom needed a full update, it looked dirty due to the condition of the shower etc and also had the smell of urine. On waking up, all I could smell was vomit. It wasn't from me. On closer inspection, the bedside cabinet which had a carpetted top, had a stain on it. Breakfast was a "full English " but no black pudding, mushrooms or baked beans. I couldn't eat the sausages as they tasted disgusting. I knew my toast would arrive burnt, as I heard it being scraped in the kitchen, sure enough, it was inedible. I was also put off by the cafetiere which had seen better days. The landlady poured my coffee and milk - something I wanted to do AFTER I had finished my orange juice - I suspect she was covering up the fact the cup was dirty. (I had to was my cup in the bedroom as it was dirty). I was told to leave by 10:30am and to leave my keys several times, once woukd have been sufficient. I think next time, I'll spend a bit more and get somewhere clean.
