Goodness me the property is far too old to be in use . This needs to be addressed urgently.
The property has its own parking. The couple who own The Copper Kettle are so helpful. The bed was so comfy. Great price lovely breakfast. Would stay again.
Stopped off for one night on our way to Scotland. The room was basic, comfortable bed, nice breakfast. Pete and Pamela were very helpful and really nice people.
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.

The property is was built in the 1600 and now a little bit tied
The owners were lovely
And the food was good
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.

Enjoyed. Very accommodating hosts. Very good food and very low cost. 3 course guest menu needs a vegetarian option.
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.

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
Run by a lovely couple who were really helpful and couldn't do enough for you. Room spacious and clean. Good breakfast and great location to the shops and pub and small walk to devil's bridge

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

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.
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.
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!

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.
