Your perfect staycation location for relaxing, socialising, adventuring and indulging!

Perfectly Placed

Milnthorpe, “the village by the mill” on the banks of the river Bela, is a thriving medieval market village of historic limestone buildings and a rich industrial heritage, perfectly situated between the Southern Lake District, historic North Lancashire, the Forest of Bowland, dramatic Morecambe Bay, and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Conveniently located just 4 minutes from the M6, this “hidden gem” will transport you from the hustle and bustle of modern life to tranquil countryside setting in minutes. Still a popular stop-off point for travellers on the A6, our compact centre and market square boast handy modern amenities including late-night local supermarket shopping, inviting cafes, pubs and takeaways, award-winning butcher and pie-maker, village fuel station, taxis and main bus route.

You’ll also find coast, canal, countryside, river and nature reserves right on the doorstep, with many walks, visitor, eating and shopping attractions within easy walking or cycling range. The perfect base to explore the Lake District while avoiding the crowds, just a few minutes’ drive will bring you to historic stately homes, picturesque villages, pubs, cafes, outdoor thrills, Wainwright fells and lakes.

Hear what our guests had to say…

  • Michelle Gabriel - Oct 2024

    The accommodation was spotless. It had all we needed, including a kettle (essential!), coffee machine, toaster, microwave and a hob. The bathroom was spacious, the shower perfect. The hand wash and shower gel/shampoo are from a local company and were really nice! The bed was comfortable and we slept well.

    It's ideally placed for exploring the Lakes and North Yorkshire. Milnthorpe is small but has a nice pub, a supermarket and a great coffee shop (Rivers and Roads). The owners communicated well and were really friendly.

  • John Chute - October 2024

    I stayed in late October 2024 for five nights and it was a perfect place for me to have as a base in the area. Although I was a single traveller I can see it working just as well for a couple. The unit has been updated to a high level of comfort and convenience. The owner was great to work with, she responded quickly when I asked about the heating system and in was in general very helpful. I would certainly stay here again.

  • Jo Holmes - May 2024

    Excellent apartment, 25 minutes from the lakes. Jayne is very friendly, communication is excellent and nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

  • J Oura - October 2024

  • David Eastwood - August 2024

    The apartment was perfect in every way. Spotlessly clean, excellent quality and plentiful appliances, very comfortable bed, great shower room, quiet and lovely location. Jayne was the perfect host and we had the pleasure of chatting with her during our stay and such a delightful lady and it is apparent she is so focused on ensuring her guests have an enjoyable stay at Rigney House. Thank you Jayne and we hope to have the opportunity to return.

    I had an incredibly perfect stay at Rigney Bank House!

    The building, the decor, the comfort and Jayne's magic and empathetic touch have made me fall in love with this beautiful part of England and the coziness of this house.

    I can't wait to get back and breathe in the peacefulness of this lovely place. Jayne is an extraordinary host thank you!
