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.

    Although very small, our family of 4 were happy for 5 nights. A few things to watch out for: On arrival,m the key safe box was wide open. Not sure if it hadn't been closed properly or if someone had broken into it, but something to be aware of. In you are tall, you'll bang your head on the hanging lights multiples times during your stay. We had to put a chair under the one in the lounge to avoid injury! Spotlights would make much more sense... ah, the spotlights.. maybe not, beware the spotlight in the shower cubicle, it'll give you a really bad burn because they get far too hot (especially if you're balding like me). The heating - ignore the 25 mins max message unless someone has only just left the property, it took 1.5 hours to get the water hot enough to ensure we wouldn't get Legionnaires! After that, an occasional 25mins was fine to top it up. Thankfully we took our own baking tray because those provided were in the oven and clearly hadn't been washed. Unfortunately we didn't take our own bottle opener, and the one provided was broken. We had some inquisitive slugs roam around the kitchen in the evenings, but they were harmlessly returned outside. It happens, our previous home had them too. 9:30 check-out. Come one really? That's far too early, especially with a family of 4 trying to cook/eat/clean-up breakfast. This definitely needs to be increase to at least 10:30, if not 11. Sedburgh is absolutely lovely, just be careful of some of the 'pubs' (restaurants) as they can really burn your wallet. Check out the Waffle Cone and Red Lion (we had to book). Parking wasn't an issue until the night before our departure, and due to the ridiculous departure time all the spaces were still occupied, so we had to lug our stuff up and down the road. Oh, and say hello to the chap next door if you see him about. He's lovely and doesn't bite. All in all, a very pleasant stay, which we might return to in the future.

    As it’s dog friendly the outside area is not in anyway secure so be aware. If we returned to Sedburgh we would go over the weekend when we arrived we couldn’t eat anywhere with a dog with us ( lots of places closed Mondays or not dog friendly at anytime.)
