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.

Itâs our go to place, when we can get away for a few days, The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable and has everything you need . It is situated just behind the main street of Sedburgh (a great little town).The Black Bull, a short walk away ,is very warm and welcoming, with excellent food and drink. The owners Julie and Brian are very welcoming and are there quickly should you need them for anything at all, for which we thank them. Iris and Danny November 27th 2024

I would happily book it again. Location also very good for walking to pubs and the small supermarket. The only reason I didn't give a higher mark for facilities was the lack of a washing machine, as our walking clothes got very wet and muddy. But I understand that there might not be space for it.

It was perfect in every aspect. We couldn't have wanted more, except more time.
