What guests think
At The Copper Kettle, guests often praise the warm, accommodating hosts and good value in a characterful old building, but they also report very dated, basic rooms with maintenance issues and inconsistent cleanliness that can affect comfort.
Breakfast is frequently described as tasty and generous, with cooked options and some vegetarian or vegan choices; a simple evening meal for guests is mentioned as good value. The location is central and convenient for the town and nearby walks, while parking is sometimes available but not always guaranteed. Best suited to travellers who want a no-frills base.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I can dribble harder than the shower The wall paper is coming off in the bath room, The bed is soft in places and solid in others It looks so run down, Room was generally dirty I fell like it’s clutching at straws to stay open they should call it a day I slept on top of the covers as I didn’t want to lift them up The locals all laughed when we said that’s where we are staying,

Stayed one night in Room 5 and sadly won’t be returning. The room was very poorly maintained and had a strong, unpleasant smell of old cooking oil that seemed to linger throughout the entire property. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the bedding had visible stains. The bathroom was particularly concerning — loose floorboards made it feel unsafe to walk on, there was tape over a broken electric shower (which seemed highly dangerous), and the ceiling light fitting had no cover at all. Overall, the room felt dirty, musty, and neglected. I even tried to rebook elsewhere during my stay, but unfortunately everywhere was full, otherwise I would have left. I didn’t stay for breakfast as I couldn’t imagine what the kitchen conditions might be like given the state of the room. It’s a real shame to leave such negative feedback, especially as the building itself is quirky and full of potential. However, cleanliness and guest safety should be a minimum standard — even for budget accommodation. I hope this review helps others make an informed choice

Booked the wrong room due to the photos on the website being incorrect but apparently it was my fault! Total shock when we were shown the room, nearly went straight back home. Room 4 was/is past tired, dangerous extension lead making a crackling noise when we plugged the old kettle in, absolute fire hazard! Tv cable ran under the front of the sink, socket also under the sink! The toilet had the most disgusting smell and the shower screen broke/dirty. The whole occasion was terrible and never again, couldn’t even face breakfast. We have stayed before and room 5 was acceptable and yes we know it’s not 5 star establishment but room 4 needs closing for good. We were looking forward to our return visit but will give The Copper Kettle a massive swerve for our next visit to Kirby Lonsdale. Website needs changing or some poor sod will get the same room. Absolutely gutted to leave such a negative review

Spent one night here and couldn’t wait to get out! Didn’t even bother staying for breakfast. Was in an attic room where we had to duck to get in. Being only 5ft myself you can imagine how low it was hence my husband banging his head quite badly! The room was mouldy and smelly. The electrics looked very dodgy so didn’t dare use tv or kettle. Tho couldn’t have had a coffee anyway as the milk was in a jug left out overnight as there was no fridge. You can imagine what it looked like in the morning. The skylight had no blind so as soon as it became light we were woken up. This not being a bad thing in the end so we could leave asap!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Dining
Breakfast is often praised as hot, tasty, and good value, with cooked options and some vegetarian or vegan choices; it’s frequently included. A few found it basic or disappointing, and the optional evening meal is noted as good value but limited for vegetarians.

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.

This was a lovely place to stay and incredible value for money. This is not a 5* hotel but it has a lovely charm and a is ran by a hardworking, lovely couple. A room with breakfast included for the price you are paying is amazing. Me and my wife enjoyed our breakfast and even catered for me (vegetarian). Highly recommend! Will stay here 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!

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.

Set in a 1300s terraced cottage the owners provided their own parking spot for us around the back of property that was a little tricky to find but welcome because, the streets through town are narrow with restricted parking double yellow each side. The atmosphere was nostalgic and a bit quirky.. we stayed one night in a cosy bedroom with shower. Comfortable bed. Included a decent cooked breakfast in the downstairs dinning area on ground floor.

So first we was driving in to the back area and we were met with a man who appeared drunk and could not reverse a car out, Then there was no where to park so at 11 o’clock at night we had to drive around but thankfully Pam helped us but as we walked though the door Pam was down our throats making sure she had her money. Then!! We got to our room and it appeared clean but stunk and very old bathroom was poor, didn’t even want to brush my teeth. The bed was comfy. The next morning the breakfast was poor she offered my partner gone off milk but advised against her using it. Everything was greasy but it was ok ish and fair prices but I would love to see the the kitchen And I never saw the old bloke. Overall, do not go.!!!!!😬😬😬
