About this property

Sedbergh 6.3 miles. Boasting incredible countryside views, Roger Pot is a fantastic stone-built property with ample off-road parking and a garden, nestled into the rural hamlet of Garsdale near Sedbergh; the property is ideal for friends or families looking to explore Cumbria. Park off-road and be welcomed into a charming sitting room with exposed stone, wooden roof beams and ample furniture nestled before a woodburning stove, a lovely space to relax in with a coffee as you plan the day ahead of you. When mealtimes call, the beautifully presented kitchen welcomes you to cook up a storm using the ample amenities, which are hidden neatly into contemporary furniture. Here there is a lovely exposed stone shelf adding character, and a lovely dining room where guests can enjoy a hearty meal, whilst the handy utility takes care of all of your muddy clothes. Ascend the stairs to find a spacious and airy family bathroom where guests can enjoy a soak amongst the bubbles or a refreshing shower, and here you will also find three bedrooms. Choose between a double with storage, a twin zip/link that can be set up as a super-king-size on request, with the added feature of a window seat, and finally a beautiful master bedroom, spacious with a king-size bed, wooden roofbeams and an en-suite. Outside, make the most of the fresh air and countryside views by dining alfresco, with the chance to spot some of the resident red squirrels, or travel through the 4-acres of land surrounding the property, to fish in the nearby river. Garsdale is a rural hamlet resting beside the Clough River, with beautiful countryside framing the village. To stock up on amenities or to have a tipple and a hot meal, head over to the village of Sedbergh where there is a local shop, eateries and a pub, as well as a golf course where you can try out a game or two, whilst Hawes, a wonderful town is a must-visit, with plenty of shops, welcoming pubs, a fish and chip shop, and the Wensleydale Cheese Factory, offering guided tours and an on-site shop. There are more tasty eateries and independent shops at Kendal which you can browse at your leisure. From here, enjoy the scenery of the Yorkshire Dales at Hardraw Force Waterfall, Gastack Beck Waterfall, and Ribblehead Viaduct, or many of the other incredible sites, or learn more about the local history and heritage at Dales Countryside Museum. For a day at the coast visit Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or venture into the Lake District National Park, where there is an abundance of incredible trails and watersports activities, whilst steam train spotters will enjoy visiting Garsdale train station, running along the Carlisle and Leeds line via Settle. All of this and so much more with a stay at the charming Roger Pot.

The attractive old market town of Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber), with its old-world atmosphere, is not only set in the magnificent western dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park but is also close to the rugged eastern fells of the Lake District. The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has been a thriving community for hundreds of years, with a market dating from the 13th Century. Leading from Sedbergh is Dentdale, the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and dry-stone walls, stretching 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the confluence of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey. At the centre of the dale is Dent, with its cobbled streets, which has existed since Norman times and nearby Dent railway station is on the renowned Settle-Carlisle railway line. There are three golf courses nearby, as well as tennis, riding, and fishing, and the area is a paradise for walkers, ramblers, runners, and cyclists. This, together with the tranquillity of the surrounding valleys, the two National Parks and it being England's book town, makes an ideal year-round holiday destination.

    Tranquil and serene with fantastic views from every window made for a totally relaxing week which is exactly what I had hoped for. The welcome pack went above and beyond and the home made bread and parkin cake were unbelievably good, the addition of fresh flowers was also a lovely touch, hope to return in the near future, thanks for a lovely stay.
