    “We definitely overpaid for our 7 night stay at this cottage.”

    Disappointed overall. The Good: Pleasant living space and bathroom. The Bad: The mattress is horrific! A soft foam topper has been plonked on top of an old and failed mattress which had multiple, questionable brown stains on it. We ended up sleeping on an inflatable mattress for the majority of our stay. Unloading and loading your vehicle is difficult due to limited access and distance to the front of the property.

    Disappointed overall. The Good: Pleasant living space and bathroom. The Bad: The mattress is horrific! A soft foam topper has been plonked on top of an old and failed mattress which had multiple, questionable brown stains on it. We ended up sleeping on an inflatable mattress for the majority of our stay. Unloading and loading your vehicle is difficult due to limited access and distance to the front of the property. Large vehicles will struggle to drive up David Yard. Limited privacy and noise as the adjacent property is also a holiday home with guests who use the seating arrangement right in front of your kitchen window.

    It's a great pity that you found the super king size bed uncomfortable as we haven't had previous comments from our guests to this effect. My husband & I have slept on it & found it very comfortable.The Mattress Topper is memory foam which may or may not be liked by some guests. We have now however, replaced the memory foam with a new mattress topper, which I hope will also be suitable for our guests. On removing the mattress topper we were at a loss to see any stains on the mattress, which can only be viewed on removal of the memory topper which being super king size, was very bulky, very large & quite heavy, & not something usually done by guests. The access to Corner cottage is explained to you by Sykes prior to your arrival. We pay for & provide, free of charge, a Parking Permit for use by our guests in order to facilitate their access. It can be used in both car parks in Sedbergh & both are in fairly close proximity to the cottage. I trust you were able to make full use of this throughout your stay. The nearby narrow lane is not intended for every day use & only used by vehicles for picking up or drop off purposes. The pedestrian alley way makes access to Sedbergh's amenities within very easy walking distance & also for setting off on country walks from the front door. Corner Cottage is very old as are the adjacent properties, & in a quiet position just behind the main street, so many guests prefer this to being on a road further out of town where traffic passes regularly. As you will have observed, Main St. is very narrow. I was unaware of the next door cottage's garden furniure being replaced close to the kitchen window & will endeavour to get this changed. Given the unusual boundaries between the cottages, unfortunately there is't a great deal of space for either cottage to place outdoor seating. All the buildings in the town of Sedbergh are very old & when constructed, I doubt that much consideration was given for relaxation outdoors. We have tried to make the most of the outdoor patio area by providing seating & a table for you to enjoy using, should the weather permit. Your week's stay 18th - 25th August was prime time in the school holidays, over the Bank holiday weekend & with pupils returning to school early September, so guests would normally expect to pay a premium ratefor that time of year, so I consider that the rate you paid was reasonable.

Wake-up with a refreshing shower, before treating your better half to an alfresco breakfast out on the front patio.

Corner Cottage benefits from a central location, so you have your pick of a wide variety of restaurants and pubs right on your doorstep, perfect for those night’s where you don’t feel like cooking.

After a tasty pub lunch, why not enjoy a romantic stroll along the River Rawthey and soak up all the lush surrounding scenery?

Just a short drive away you will find the town of Kendal, boasting the fascinating ruins of its former remarkable 12th-century castle.

Take a trip into the past with a visit to the Kendal Museum which celebrates the town’s history or the Quaker Tapestry Museum which delves into the town's rich tapestry heritage.

For those who have bought their clubs, Kendal is home to an excellent golf course with expansive views, the ideal place to play a few rounds.

A little further is Hawes, where you can immerse yourself in rural life at the Dales Countryside Museum which features exhibitions, an outdoor steam train and a café for a cup of tea and slice of cake afterwards.

You will also find the delightful Chapel Gallery which houses a variety of artwork and the flowing Gayle Beck.

Whatever time of year, choose Corner Cottage as your base.

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.
