About this property
A recently renovated, stone built, one bedroom conversion of former farm buildings situated on the owners' working farm within the Dales National Park. Autumn breaks are available to relax and recharge your batteries. Come and see the star filled skies. Golden Autumn colours are stunning at this time of year in the Dales and Lakes. A modern, contemporary holiday home set out over one floor with an open plan design to take advantage of the magnificent views across the Howgill Fells. With large patio doors giving open and uninterrupted views, the spacious living area takes up the main area with a lovely sitting area designed to enjoy the views, a modern well equipped kitchen and dining area leading through to an open plan bedroom with super king-size bed. The adjoining wet room is spacious and provides a modern facility, ideal for relaxing after a hard day out on the fells. A great place to get away from it all, enjoy a romantic break, enjoy the many footpaths and the challenges of this wild and rugged area and perhaps even spot the odd red squirrel, or spring lambs during lambing season. .

Lilly and Alan were fantastic, they provided for all of our needs and we will be back for more in the new year. The three very friendly dogs appeared at our patio door every day to say hello as did the two turkeys. A delight and thankyou.

A working farm, and you can see how much work that is, with having to see to the sheep of an evening, trio of sheepdogs off in the back of the jeep. We cycled, walked, and dipped into spectacular pools at the waterfall on the sunny days, and enjoyed reading and watching the 3 turkeys playing tag with Ben the sheepdog on the wet days. Sedbergh is a lovely little town with a great home-grown cultural life, independent shops (not only 2nd hand book shops, also crafts and independent greengrocer etc.) and quaint streets. And even in the height of the season, there are not the traffic jams and crowds of the main tourist centres; a great plus. Highly recommend.

Wheelchair accessibility is great. We stayed in, one particularly rainy day, but still had that wonderful view to look out on. Lilly is a wonderful host, thank you.
