    “Nice cottage, very clean, comfortable beds, but a bit anti-septic - there wasn't any local information and no instructions for operating the fire, worst of all no coffee making facilities (though there was an air fryer and a muffin tin?”

    ?), only one tea-towel, so we had to leave our washing up in the dishwasher contrary to (fairly extensive) instructions for cleaning up on departure. The gate opener didn't work when I arrived but that was sorted out quickly by helpful property manager, however, there was also no way to open the main gate to the property, which the listing said we'd have access to for walks etc, so we had to climb a fence to get in. Good location for walks round Sedbergh and easily accessible by taxi from ...

Good location for walks round Sedbergh and easily accessible by taxi from Oxenholme - so a good spot but a bit mixed in terms of comfort - despite appearances

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.
