Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
The house is gorgeous and has everything you’ll need. The owners were lovely.

"A wonderful house that has been refurbished with flair, and with warmth and comfort to the fore."
A beautiful bath (I am not a shower person) with views!
And what views! I know the area from 20-30 years ago but have not been back until now.
How lovely to have window seats…..again those views.
And an Aga! I know from experience how chilly it can get in The Pennines and May is often a particularly unpredictable time. The Aga was a special bonus.
Plenty of space for parking next to the property; that is an essential requirement for me.
And a generous welcome hamper of “goodies”!
Ian and Jill are to be congratulated on creating such a delightful and welcoming property.

"A glorious farmhouse and our stay far exceeded expectations."
The property was modern, well designed and excellently equipped. Outside, the uninterrupted glorious views must rate as some of the best in Britain: to the west the Lake District, to the East, the three great peaks of the Yorkshire Dales. To cap it all, fabulously friendly hosts. Overall, what a find!

"It is the second time we have stayed at Lanshaw House and we loved it just as much this time."
The house is beautifully decorated with stunning views and a lovely interior. The location seems remote but is within easy access of Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle and many other places. We got the opportunity to meet some of the lambs and our children adored playing with Pip and Dot- the farm dogs. They have already been asking when we are going back- a real hit with the whole family.

The farmhouse has been renovated to a very high standard with quality furnishings. The owners Ian and Gill should be proud of what they achieved at Lanshaw. It was home from home and they even did a food hamper of essentials on arrival and they were very helpful hosts.

It is in a peaceful location so is good for touring or relaxation holiday.

The convenient location of the property means you are central to Lancashire, Cumbria, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park; but if you want to stay more local, the nearby Bentham is a picturesque town home to the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, which is a popular attraction for tourists; the trail is a four-mile loop that takes hikers through some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the area.
Further afield, Morecambe rests on the Lancashire coast, located on the estuary of the River Lune and is bounded to the north by the Cumbrian mountains.
The town was once a thriving seaside resort and is now a popular tourist destination with attractions including Lancaster Castle, Happy Mount Park, and Lancaster City Museum.
If you want a day of walking, bookended with a delicious meal in a country pub, be sure to spend a day in the glorious Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Lanshaw House is a beautifully presented property for a memorable break with loved ones.

The small Yorkshire market town of High Bentham is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the north and east, with the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, stretching away to the south. The Bowland fells and the nearby three peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent provide excellent terrain for the enthusiastic walker, while the delights of the Lake District and the spectacular coastal scenery of Morecambe Bay are only half an hour away. High Bentham is a busy little town with a weekly cattle market, good local shops and services, as well as a good choice of pubs serving food, while the 18-hole golf course is well known for its stunning views and friendly atmosphere. The High Bentham area is threaded with public footpaths and rights of way that are well documented in a local walking guide and cover locations such as the River Wenning and the Great Stone of Fourstones, a relic of the ice age and a spectacular viewpoint. The market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal are all within easy driving distance, making this lovely little town a great holiday base.
