    “I am giving this feed back here as there does not seem to be any other route to use.”

    Once inside the property there were many small touches that were very pleasant like lots of big soft towels and comfy beds but there was no bedroom furniture for your clothes in any of the bedrooms. Why not? Not even a rail to hang your clothes - is this not a basic requirement? There was water around the toilet when we arrived - a leak maybe? and the tap on the bathroom sink was very loose.

    Once inside the property there were many small touches that were very pleasant like lots of big soft towels and comfy beds but there was no bedroom furniture for your clothes in any of the bedrooms. Why not? Not even a rail to hang your clothes - is this not a basic requirement? There was water around the toilet when we arrived - a leak maybe? and the tap on the bathroom sink was very loose. There were no instructions whatsoever apart from a post it note with the wi-fi code. We had no hot water for a day - we contacted the owner who, once he picked up his emails turned the water on remotely. We also had electricity problems which resulted in one and a half hours, at night, with no power. There was no torch, just one citronella candle. Tenants should be warned to take a torch with them. There were no instructions regarding rubbish - we found some bins that we used but they needed emptying. There was also no first aid kit - I would have thought that was necessary or maybe I'm wrong? The first thing I did when I arrived was sweep the floor! It felt as if the property wasn't quite ready to be let out. We won't be returning but it is a lovely area to holiday in.

About the location

SEDBERGH

Kendal 11.5 miles; Kirkby Lonsdale 11.8 miles, Hawes 15.8 miles.

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.
