“Beautiful setting, semi rural but little town only a 5 min drive.”
Short hike if you like walking but need a torch at night for part of it. Loads of places nearby to drive to. We went to Kendal and Morecombe for the day and also enjoyed browsing round Sedbergh. Note that in Sedburgh there are no carry out places apart from one chip shop which was closed for a fortnight when we were there. There are some lovely pub/restaurants and an Italian and cafes for during the day. We ate at a couple of the dog friendly pubs in Sedbergh Would recommend the Red Lion. So friendly and lady kindly reserved a quiter space in the lounge for us. Food was excellent.
Regarding accommodation, pretty barn conversion attached to owners home and cottage garden. Has all you need by way of kitchen equipment, comfy seating, super powerful shower and very cosy environment. Two good sized bedrooms set up as doubles but one converts to singles if needed. Lovely bed linen and liked the quirky cottage style windows and barn door glazing reaching to the upper floor. Didn't need log burner or heating as nice and warm when we were there. Sky tv and good wifi. Also has a further convenient downstairs loo. Owner lovely lady on phone if needed. Even left some welcome treats, enjoyed the Sauvignon thank you so much! Couple of things if you have dogs. We had 2 little Lhasas and the really pretty garden was a bonus for letting them out early doors and throughout our stay. Mostly enclosed but the 2 large gates at entrance are quite gappy for small dogs, would suggest to owner they just need chicken wired to make it more secure. Also owners cats go in from the house to their enclosed run but this is not fenced off from guest barn so your dogs can walk up path to it, if not on leads. May cause barking if they are not used to cats.
Just for information, the entrance to the lane leading up to the property is easy to drive past and we circled the area twice and drove into neighbours by mistake. Suggest after you cross the narrow bridge, look for first white farmhouse on left and it is a sharp left next to their driveway. You go down a narrow lane just one car width for just a few yards leading to next white farmhouse you see. Go to driveway on white side of buildings and you will be at correct building, go past owners car through double gates and barn is on left.
It is so peaceful and relaxing and I would love to return some time.
Lovely to meet you.Good idea about chicken wire first time I have encountered that problem.Glad you enjoyed your stay.
