Location is in the heart of Kirby Stephen, there are plenty of places to eat and drink and plenty of little shops. Locals are very friendly.

The apartment was lovely, spacious and clean. Bread, milk and cake on arrival was very welcome.

The location is superb - bang on in the middle of the high street, convenient to all the town has to offer. The apartment itself is lovely, comfortable, and well-appointed. The hosts, Penny and Paul (and Bob the dog), were warm and welcoming from the start, and truly cared that we enjoyed our stay. The skies opened while we were there, and the pouring rain in the street outside only served to emphasize the coziness of the apartment as we took a well-deserved rest day from our Coast to Coast Walk. Absolutely recommended for a short break or an extended stay in Kirkby Stephen, which itself serves as a marvelous base for exploring the surrounding region.

Nothing not to like!

Amazingly quirky, unique period apartment set in the most beautiful quaint little town. Wonderful hosts who went above and beyond freshly made bread, butter, jam, milk, fresh coffee and eggs! Absolutely loved our stay from start to finish one to remember and definitely return to!

Could have had more toilet roll provided. Towels were quite small. Beds were a bit soft for both of us, but that’s just personal preference.

Great welcome package of bread, flapjacks, milk, eggs, butter & jam. Really great size - loads of seats and so much to look at in terms of antiques. A truly unique place. Great hosts throughout the stay. Really enjoyed our stay, great location too.

I wish we could rate the 'Apartment of Antiquity' higher than a 10. All the effort that the hosts, Penny and Paul, put into this unit deserves a higher score.

Our two night stay at Penny & Paul's 'Apartment of Antiquity' was the highlight of our trip to Northern England or shall I say, all of the UK. Their hospitality outshines anywhere else we've ever stayed. The apartment has every amenity one could need (plus some you hadn't realized was needed). We were welcomed with fresh homemade bread, eggs, and milk so that we didn't immediately have to go to the store. The apartment is quiet. The beds were comfortable. Spacious bathroom. Cozy living room. The apartment was spotless with lots of antiques to keep your eyes busy. Strong wifi connection for those who care. Fantastic location in the heart of Kirkby Stephen. Just stay there - you won't regret it!

Centrally situated in Kirkby Steven this apartment is spacious immaculately clean, well equipped and so interesting. Our hosts were very accommodating generous and helpful. We had fresh eggs and cakes on arrival with tea and coffee and milk in the fridge. The guest book says it all!

A fantastic gem of a place in the perfect location. A warm welcome from our hosts and the apartment had everything we needed. Ideal for access to walks along the River Eden. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Kirkby Stephen getaway.

Just perfect. A warm welcome to a lovely little apartment where we were greeted with homemade cake and bread and ( probably not homemade) eggs. Many thanks. Ps. Don't leave your clothes in the wardrobe 🙄🤭🤭

Special little touches like cake and fresh bread. Lovely comfortable apartment.

The owners are the most wonderful people, with lovely conversation and a really inviting and considered approach to the hospitality of your stay. The location is perfect and the accommodation was spectacular, unique and very comfortable. My only issue was I didn't get to stay in this brilliant apartment and Kirkby Stephen for another night, I couldn't recommend your stay at the Apartment of Antiquity enough.

The location and host were excellent. The extra touches were very much appreciated.

We enjoyed the home made scones and jam, the home made bread and the eggs, all delicious.
