The facilities are exactly as shown. For two people the space was good and the cottage had everything necessary. It was quiet, the garden & outside sitting area lovely. The owner is friendly & helpful. Well situated to get into Sedbergh with all its amazing shops & pubs. Try Sedbergh golf course for a meal - fabulous. And so many walks and places to visit. Don't hesitate to book we really enjoyed our stay.

Though small, 'The Bothy' has everything one needs for a rural retreat. There really are walks from the door almost. The Bothy lies in a peaceful , lovely garden, away from the road, with a superb view of the hills rising above the picturesque garden. The owner made us very welcome, and was so kind, friendly and patient. When we had a couple of hitches, he was there straight away to sort them out. We will definitely be returning when we can.

This combined with noise from the school, delivery trucks and lawnmowers mostly, it wasn't exactly a quiet rural retreat. However, I think if you lived in a city then perhaps it would be a peaceful place to stay. Otherwise I enjoyed the beautiful view of the Howgill fells and owner's garden.
