The location is universally lauded for its beauty and tranquillity, with guests enjoying the picturesque views and fresh air. The proximity to nature and opportunities for walks are particularly appreciated, contributing to a serene and enjoyable stay.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mention of the quality of the beds, towels, and bedding. The ground floor bedroom is highlighted for its accessibility, and the large dining area is well-received for accommodating big groups.
The facilities, especially the swimming pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna, are a highlight for many guests. However, some minor issues such as missing TV remotes and empty hand soap dispensers suggest room for improvement in maintenance.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident through gestures like welcome treats and balloons for special occasions. While these are greatly appreciated by guests, it's important to note that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

High Fellside Hall, a stunning location offering excellent holiday accommodation with everything you could wish for.
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.
