Though it was neat to say we stayed in a hotel from the 1600s. The room smelled of mildew and the private bath was outside the room and smelled of urine

The people running the BB was really nice, breakfast lovely but the bathroom was very scruffy and needed a refurb but the room it self was good.
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.
Lovely guesthouse and inn. Was a great stop for a night before the windmere swim marathon. Really appreciate that breakfast is included and very gracious host.
After spending 7.5 hours walking up Mount Whernside, I was looking forward to a hot meal and a comfortable bed; and that's just what I got! Cotton sheets and soft white fluffy towels were appreciated.Pamela was very welcoming and friendly. Only 2* accommodation but that was all that was required, therefore can't fault it; achieving my Mountain walk was my main aim! 💪excellent coffee in the morning! ☕😁 xx

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
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,

Goodness me the property is far too old to be in use . This needs to be addressed urgently.
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.
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 hostess was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast

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
