Disliked: Amenities
The whole place stank of old cooking oil. Sticky dirty bannisters. The bed linen and crockery were clean. I had booked for a few nights but left after one as could not sleep because of the disgusting smell.

Room was a loft conversion so a bit awkward with low ceilings, only a skylight and a very small bathroom. But everything worked, bed was comfortable. Owner very friendly and helpful, food excellent, great location in the middle of town. Very good value overall.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately we didn't feel this property is remotely up to current safety standards or clean enough for people to be allowed to stay. There is also not sufficient dedicated parking for guests (2 spaces total) & we had to sort this out ourselves. The couple who run the place were pleasant and apologised for the parking etc. but this sadly didn't make up for the major concerns we had over the property.

As other reviews state, the place is a bit tired and dated. But for the money you can't complain. Generous breakfast included in the price was a bonus My room would have benefited from a shade or cover on the skylight and the advertised parking wasn't available so had to park in a public car park. Not a problem for an overnight stay but would have been different if staying longer.

Relaxing overnight stay

The couple who run it are very friendly & helpful. The breakfast was tasty but there was a limited choice of cereals. We eat in the restaurant at night & the food was good value for money. The decor was dated but this gave the accommodation an old fashioned charm. Kirkby Lonsdale is an attractive town as is the surrounding area.

Good location for getting out and about exploring, service was very formal and precise, the breakfast was well cooked with a good selection, all in all good value for money. Although the venue itself was a little run down and could do with some updating making it more environmentally friend saving the owners some money in the long run

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

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.

Well the worst reviews were true. It was like the 50’s. I actually felt sorry for the couple has it needs a lot of money spending on it. The wall near the window was wet with a covering of some sort of plastic wall paper on it. The whole place is very dated. The heating was an electric fire. Glad we was only staying one night has I would not stayed another night! Plus side bedding was clean and breakfast was ok and the lady was lovely.

Albeit slightly dated, really good for the price, the whole place could probably do with an overhaul but I'd rather have it like it is at the current price, the sheets, towels etc were spotless . Lovely couple and good breakfast. Would stay again.
