    “We absolutely loved our stay at Sally End.”

    Sara and Robert have thought of everything to make the holiday stay a good one. The cottage is so well stocked with all you need to make it a home from home. The room was very comfortable and we loved watching the birds feeding through the garden doors. The cottage was warmed by various radiators and an Aga, making it super cosy. The only slight downside was the hardness of the bed. I noticed this mentioned in other reviews so was prepared for it, but it wouldn’t put us off visiting again. The ...

    Sara and Robert have thought of everything to make the holiday stay a good one. The cottage is so well stocked with all you need to make it a home from home. The room was very comfortable and we loved watching the birds feeding through the garden doors. The cottage was warmed by various radiators and an Aga, making it super cosy. The only slight downside was the hardness of the bed. I noticed this mentioned in other reviews so was prepared for it, but it wouldn’t put us off visiting again. The surrounding area was stunning and we enjoyed our pre-breakfast walks. We wanted somewhere quiet to escape fireworks noise as our dog is terrified, and Sally end gave us exactly that.

About the location

RAVENSTONEDALE

Kirkby Stephen 5 miles; Sedbergh 10 miles.

The tranquil village of Ravenstonedale lies at the foot of the Howgill Fells, quietly situated within the newly extended Yorkshire Dales National Park. A delightful rural village with a thriving local community and many traditional old dwellings, Ravenstonedale boasts a charming Parish Church and the remains of the old Gilbertine Priory. Hill farming is the principal means of income in the area and an agricultural show is still held once a year, echoing days gone by when both markets and fairs were held in the village. Once described by the famous author, A Wainwright, as one of Westmorland’s loveliest villages, the area boasts many walking, horse riding and cycling routes, whilst the nearby attractions provide something for everybody. Visit the Settle to Carlisle Railway Line, the magnificent Howgill Fells and the stunning Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks. A superb location at any time of the year.

Note: Due to the season, bookings can only be accepted for Christmas on Friday 20th and 27th December
