The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has an old world atmosphere. Dentdale, the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and dry stone walls, stretches 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the confluence of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey.

From heather-clad moors and limestone scars, to market towns and the steady pace of country life - the sublime Dales await you! Where else in Britain is it as satisfying to sit and do nothing as it is to explore the numerous pursuits on offer?

We've visited this cottage before and have found it comfortable and well provided for.. On this occasion we found it had recently been refurbished so an even more welcoming stay. Thank you.

Sedbergh is lovely, will definitely return to the area.. Fells cottage is small but full of amenities and spotlessly clean. A great location. Plenty of useful information about cottage, lighting Esse range and locality. Made booking with Booking.com - no key collection information from them but from Sykes Cottages who I didn't book with so they didn't have my email address. Only when I queried the possibility of moving dates did I get key information - on 12.12.18. Pertinent information about key collection could have been more prominent and not buried in a wordy email that included all details, Sykes app download and travel insurance. Didn't have any direct contact with the owner - only via Sykes. Owner kindly agreed to let me move dates (reason for stay was attending a wedding but one relative couldn't go due to having flu) but I decided to stick with my original booking as extra charges to move dates to January 2019 were excessive. Only ended up staying one night (spent other nights visiting ill relative). Arrived around 5.30pm on 13.12.18 and cottage was very cold - storage heaters had expended their heat; thankfully the Esse range was easy to light with enough wood provided for a couple of hours but it did take a while to heat the space, after the doors to kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom were closed. I could have brought wood from home to keep the fire in longer had I known I would have to rely on lighting the stove. Choice of Failed to meet expectations - didn't book with Sykes so I had no expectations of their service

Cottage was fine but compact even for 2 adults.. Sleeping comfort could be greatly increased with some new pillows and duvet. Small point - no matching glasses or cups.

September 2018

Clean, comfortable and well equipped.. A great place to stay for visiting the Eastern Lakes as well as the Yorkshire Dales.

The only problems we found were the lack of parking outside the cottage - other cars were parked outside our cottage virtually 24 hours a day, but I know Sedbergh very well, and expected to have this problem! The other problem was the staircase in the living room where the large sofa is placed - twice my son "cracked his head" on the staircase, and also my brother who visited us for the day! It definitely needs a much smaller sofa in that area!! The kitchen was beautiful.

Mr Sissons

The cottage is fine and in a great location, close to the town centre and was lovely and clean, Zoe the cleaner did a great job.. We thought that the listing for 4 people is a little misleading as the cottage is very small and doesn’t really have facility for 4 people (there are only 3 seats in the lounge and 3 proper seats around the dinning table). I would also suggest that there is very little storage for 4 people to put clothes in. We have used this cottage before prior to it being with Sykes and don’t think that some of the additions that the new owners have made add anything more. The range cooker in the lounge is too big and a gimmick, my own personal view is I don’t want two pages of instructions of how to light the thing and all the hassle of cleaning it out. There are a few minor niggles that need to be dealt with such as the shower door, and the low light fittings that are a bit of a hazard and the broken door tray in the fridge. The changes to the rear garden area are great, and this makes somewhere nice to sit outside there are new external doors, new wood floors and a dish washer. When booking we where aware that this cottage was fine for two people and that is what we found as there was only two of us staying for the week. The personal touches that the previous owners made such as a bottle of wine on arrival and a small message where gone, this might be something the new owners may look at as it makes you feel welcome and a valued customer and adds a nice personal touch.

The cottage was very cosy in the coldest week of the winter! We particularly liked the very comfortable bed. Also very pleased that you were able very efficiently to organise our stay for an extra night when weather conditions were bad for the drive home. Many thanks.
