    “Fantastic property, exactly as described.”

    Beautiful, peaceful location with large, well appointed rooms and lots of birdlife and fantastic sunsets to watch. Our hosts were very welcoming and responded quickly to queries. It has the best bed of any of the hotels and houses we have stayed in. Tip: Take your own small bowls if you want cereal or soup as the ones supplied are lovely but quite large. While the kitchen is well equipped, we chose to eat out every day and found a gem of a breakfast/brunch cafe in Kendal called the Farmhouse ...

    Beautiful, peaceful location with large, well appointed rooms and lots of birdlife and fantastic sunsets to watch. Our hosts were very welcoming and responded quickly to queries. It has the best bed of any of the hotels and houses we have stayed in. Tip: Take your own small bowls if you want cereal or soup as the ones supplied are lovely but quite large. While the kitchen is well equipped, we chose to eat out every day and found a gem of a breakfast/brunch cafe in Kendal called the Farmhouse Kitchen, highly recommended. We would certainly consider returning.

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.
