Guests say

Hollowgill Barn in Sedbergh is highly praised for its stunning location, high-quality fixtures, and comprehensive amenities. Guests have enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The property's cleanliness and the thoughtfulness of the owners have contributed to memorable stays, with many expressing a desire to return. The surrounding countryside offers ample walking opportunities, and the enclosed garden is appreciated by pet owners.

Most guests found Hollowgill Barn to be clean and well-maintained, with fresh-smelling bedding and towels. However, one review mentioned the need to clean upon arrival, which slightly impacts the overall cleanliness score.

The barn's location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, scenic views, and proximity to walking routes. Its accessibility to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales adds to its appeal.

The comfort of Hollowgill Barn is frequently highlighted, with guests appreciating the warm towels, comfortable beds, and cosy atmosphere. The property's spaciousness and the quality of the furnishings contribute to a relaxing experience.

The barn is celebrated for its well-stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and the bonus of a games room. While most feedback is positive, a few minor suggestions for improvements and maintenance issues prevent a perfect score.

While many reviews express gratitude for the owners' helpfulness and the property's well-thought-out amenities, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.

The historic market town of Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber) is located in northern Dentdale at the base of the majestic and untamed Howgill Fells. Only 12 miles separate Sedbergh from the Lake District National Park, which is located immediately inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The town has an old world feel to it with its small shops, historic bars, famous school from 1525, and church from the 12th century. Dentdale, which extends 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the junction of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey, is the crown jewel of the Yorkshire Dales and is accessible from Sedbergh. It features rolling hills and dry stone walls. Dent, with its historic cobblestone streets and Norman origins at the heart of the valley, is served by the renowned Settle-Carlisle railway line. The neighbourhood is a haven for walkers, ramblers, runners, and bikers because there are three golf courses nearby as well as tennis, riding, and fishing. This, along with the serenity of the nearby valleys, the two National Parks, and the fact that it is England's book town, make it a perfect year-round tourist spot.

    We had a fantastic week at Hollowgill barn. Lovely walks on your doorstep and plenty of things to do a bit further afield too! The property itself was beautiful, clean and so well thought about - facilities were amazing and brilliant quality and there wasn’t anything lacking! We especially enjoyed the brilliant coffee machine, games room and hot tub - all appreciated after long days out exploring! Very safe for our furry friend too - he loved having some space to roam! We were very sad to leave but hope to be back - thanks so much for having us!

    Shame we didn’t have this on our first visit as the repairs to our car were almost as much as the holiday itself. The property itself is perfect however and left us wanting for nothing.

    The barn is big and beautiful. Has everything you need in the kitchen and the games room is a great bonus. Thank you.
