Just what I wanted
I stayed at the Copper Kettle because it was a relatively short drive to the Howgills where I wanted to do some walking. I thought the price fo rmy stay was very reasonable and included breakfast (what I really wanted) and a packed lunch. The double room was spacious although the en-suite was a bit cramped but it was okay for me.
The accommodation met all my requirements and I would have no hesitation in staying here in the future.

Weekend trip
Ignore the reviews. Yes it's a 2 star hotel. And Yes it needs work doing to it. It was like a hotel that time forgot. Breakfast was basic full English. I dont eat meat so wasnt a problem I had eggs on toast and fruit if i wanted it.
We found it charming, had character. The couple were lovely. Mrs Gamble couldn't do enough. Was like being at my Grandma's house. Thank you Mr and Mrs Gamble

The property is in a poor state of repair but the bed was comfy, the shower was warm, the breakfast was nice and the lady was friendly. Kirkby Lonsdale was a nice town in a beautiful area and the Ingleton Waterfalls trail nearby was breathtaking.

The lady staff was so helpful and kind. She showed us where to park our car safely and gave her best service during our stay. She brought a cup of milk up to our room so that we could have a hot chocolate or coffee before bed. And we love the breakfast too. We can choose what would we have for the breakfast too and they were really good! The Copper Kettle is bed and breakfast. Definitely would come again.

We had the attic room in the hotel, shame that there was no blind over the sky light as we was awoken at 5:30am, other than that the owners were very nice and the breakfast was very good, property is in need of renovation however the room was clean and bed was comfy

Lovely owners. I was working away and stayed in the copper kettle, as I was out before breakfast started the very kind owners made me and my colleague a little packed lunch to take with us which was such a lovely little touch. We had a comfortable stay although the room is very outdated but that didn’t bother us too much.

Quirky but nice
Whether you like it at the Copper Kettle will depend on your expectations. Expect something old-fashioned, quirky and in need of some attention in places and you'll enjoy your stay. Very good breakfast and attentive service.

Cute, quirky and convenient
Chose the property as a base while in Kirkby Lonsdale meeting friends for an occasion. Very affordable accommodation right in the centre of the town and provides all required for a pleasant stay. The lady who owns the place is really lovely, efficient and friendly. The room was a good size and clean with amenities in good order. The ensuite toilet/shower a bonus too, however the shower wasnt very powerful it didn't imlact my stay in any way. Breakfast is table service and offers all thats needed to start the day. Very pleasant overall and would definitely consider returning again
