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.

) we reported this to the cleaners/maintenance staff but to no avail! Living room not vacuumed and cobwebs on lights in two bedrooms. Extremely dissatisfied with property and rather annoyed that no one has tried to contact us! Mr A P Williams

There was 7 of us and we had more than enough space to relax. We loved all the outdoor space! All the bedrooms were nicely sized and the beds were really comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed which was great! Only down side would be that the rooms were a little dusty and had alot of cobwebs everywhere. One thing to note about the property is that we had alot of issues with the lights going out and the water not working. On day 2 and 3 in the morning, the water stopped working so some of us couldnât shower, even worse there was no water coming from the kitchen tap so we couldnât even get drinking water or do the dishes. Eventually in the working it started working again however we noticed if you had the dishwasher on the water in the house would not work. Also if you put the oven on the electricity would trip for the outside lights. Overall, we did enjoy our stay at beckhall.
