Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is frequently described as clean and tidy upon arrival, with only a few isolated comments about webs and dust. The majority of guests seem satisfied with the level of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, dining options, and walking routes. The convenience and beauty of the location contribute positively to the guests' experiences.
Guests find the cottage cosy, especially with the woodburner on, but some mention it can be cold upon arrival and that the space can feel cramped for more than two people. The comfort of the beds and furniture receives mixed reviews.
The cottage is well-equipped, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as non-stick pans needing replacement, inefficient heating, and minor DIY jobs needed. The range cooker received mixed reactions, with some finding it cumbersome.
While some guests mention a welcome bottle of wine, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
About this property
A traditional 150-year old, stone-built terraced character cottage, located in the centre of the market town of Sedbergh, inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This warm and cosy cottage, overlooking the playing fields of Sedbergh School, features a welcoming sitting room with feature fireplace housing a woodburning cookstove, a spacious and well-equipped kitchen and two delightful bedrooms with lovely views of the surrounding countryside, together with a shower room. Outside, there is a rear garden with furniture where guests can enjoy an evening drink or dine alfresco, whilst planning their busy days ahead. Sedbergh nestles at the foot of the beautifully unspoilt Howgill Fells, much admired by the famous Lakeland explorer and writer, Alfred Wainwright, and offers several pubs and cafes serving great food, an award-winning butcher and interesting book shops. There are many places of interest in the area, including Fairfield Mill, the picturesque village of Dent and the renowned Ingleton Waterfalls, plus both Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale are a 20-minute car journey away. This delightful cottage is perfectly located on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Parks. A lovely cottage, and an ideal base for a romantic retreat.
Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber), an ancient market town in northern Dentdale, is situated just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has an old world atmosphere. Dentdale, the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and dry stone walls, stretches 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the confluence of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey.
