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

This property is 400 years old, it's very old fashioned.
We had a 3 night stay at the Copper Kettle and we absolutely loved it!
The room was very comfortable, although a little frayed here & there.
Shower was great, breakfast each morning was great.
We also took advantage of the 3 course meal one evening (available to guests only) & for the money was great value.
Above all that, the proprietors were wonderfully welcoming & friendly.
They let us park our motorcycle in the outbuilding for safety.
We would definitely come back again!

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.

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

I'm sorry to write this review, but the place needs shutting down, gutting, and bringing up to some sort of standard.
It's run by an elderly couple, and yes, the place is old, but that's no excuse for filthy carpets, an en-suite bathroom whose carpet stunk of urine and overpowered the whole bedroom too. Windows had to be propped open with magazines, some of the window panes were missing and had been taped up. There was mould in the shower, the majority of the walls were stained with damp patches and the decor had been patched up over numerous decades. I could go on and on. The bed linen was clean, but I daren't look under it.
The breakfast was OK, but when you look at the rest of the place, you really didn't feel like eating it, maybe the kitchen was of the same standard?.
It's such a shame, because the lady was quite nice, I didn't see her husband who was the cook, but could hear him shouting at his wife in the kitchen.
As soon as we got there we wanted to leave, but we were committed, and being English, didn't like to complain.
Having read all the other reviews, we were prepared to give the place a try, as some of them were quite good, why I don't know?.
I'm sorry to the owners, but I really think it's time to throw in the towel, and retire.

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.

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.

Our hosts were great. They upgraded us to a bigger room as they had the space. The food was really good and plenty of it at fantastic prices. Our room had an electric fire which was very useful as the weather was cold for June. Overall it was an old quirky character full property with really friendly owners. We would come again if in the area.

Querkie little hotel with traditional inn keepers. Great location in town near good food and facing artisan butcher. A little tired but did the job.

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.
10.0
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.

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

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.

This is a very old building, that really does need some modernization. The couple who own and run it were very friendly and accommodating. In reflection it offers great value for money in the very expensive area of Kirkby lonsdale.
4.0
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
