Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as immaculately clean, with only one mention of a need for a deeper clean. This suggests a very high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is universally appreciated for its proximity to local shops, pubs, and scenic walks, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding areas.
Guests find the cottage cosy and warm, with comfortable seating and bedding. However, some guests mentioned issues with the bed and a desire for a handrail on the stairs.
The cottage is well-equipped, but there are several mentions of difficulties with the TV remote and suggestions for minor improvements, such as the addition of a colander and a handrail.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

(1) The walk-in shower was completely blocked and could't be used for more than 2 mins without flooding the bathroom. We tried unblocking it ourselves but this didn't work, so we ended up putting a towel on the floor each day and rushing through a quick shower to manage the problem, then ringing the towel out after each shower. (2) The mattress was VERY old, had some large stains in it (including a large, dark brown stain) and had no sheet on. The 'mattress topper' was a piece of yellow foam with a sheet on it to try and mask the problem. Although clean, the sheets had not been dried properly so smelled of damp, especially 2 of the pillowcases. (3) General cleanliness throughtout was pretty poor, including crumbs and a sour 'off milk' smell in the fridge, crumbs in many places around the kitchen, cobwebs throughout the house (some pretty large), dirty cupboard doors and lightswitches. To summarise, the property needs a new mattress, the bathroom addressing and a thorough clean, not just a quick changeover bed-change. We reported these issues to Sykes on day 1, but did not get a reply until day 3 or 4 given that it was the beginning of the school holidays. Sykes eventually spoke to the owner, but we received no acknowledgement or apology and no reimburesment. Very disappointing indeed. I don't normally leave negative reviews as I'd much rather address the issues personally, but in this instance, I feel like the problems were pushed aside and we were dismissed.

Corner cottage was just what we wanted. Very well looked after, with everything that we needed. Tucked away just off the Main Street, it was close enough to the many places to eat and drink, whilst being quiet and private. Sedbergh itself is well placed for trips, irrespective of whether you are energetic and want to go walking, or were lazy like us. It doesnât matter that there isnât parking immediately by the cottage. Itâs easy enough to unload at the end of the path, and no problem in parking either on the road or in one of the town car parks. Thoroughly recommended. We hope to be back soon.

The area is beautiful, with some great walking from the doorstep, either hill walking or riverside. We would definitely recommend and hopefully return.
