About this property

With its panoramic views and location within the Yorkshire Dales, this house is perfect for any nature-lovers seeking a relaxing getaway.
Turn on your favourite show and kick up your feet to bask in the warmth of woodburning stove.

There's also a basement-floor snug if you want to cocoon yourself in the calm silence for a while. Head to bed in one of four bedrooms and in the morning freshen up in the bathroom, ready to seize the day. In the small village of Sedbergh, you'll find quite a few choices of eateries such as The Red Lion pub for some delicious, traditional cuisine, Smatt's Duo for a lighter and sweeter lunch and The Waffle Cone for some locally-made ice cream. Drive to the market town of Kendal and try your hand at rock climbing at Kendal Wall, take a stroll through The Helm, a beautifully scenic park with native Fell ponies, and visit the Kendal Museum with its vast, education-rich displays and engaging natural history collections. Animal-lovers head to Lakeland Wildlife Oasis and marvel at the exotic wildlife, then Lakes Aquarium to take lovely pictures in the underwater otter tunnel, and carefully hike across Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve for some birdwatching. There's something to do for everyone at 7 New Street.
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.

In particular, the kitchen felt poorly equipped. There was no cafetiere or corkscrew and the knives were very poor. Otherwise, a good stay.

The house was very comfortable. There is a lovely, sunny garden area to sit in. Based on the description we were only expecting a yard.

Communal areas worked very well for us with plenty of options. Well kitted out kitchen. Very clean. Just a couple of things that did not detract from our enjoyment but that I need to mention. Firstly, on arrival there was no toilet roll; if this is meant to be the case then it must be mentioned so guests know to bring their own and if it is meant to be provided then please take this as a reminder. Secondly, there were only 5 towels for 6 guests and 2 of them were only hand towels. Luckily we had brought a couple ourselves otherwise this would have been a bigger complaint. All in all very enjoyable stay, thanks.
