Guests say
Bramble Cottage in Sedbergh is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location, offering a peaceful stay with easy access to local amenities and scenic walks. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the welcoming touches, though a few minor maintenance issues are noted. The property is ideal for exploring the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
The majority of guests report the cottage as spotlessly clean, with only one negative comment about cleanliness, which seems to be an outlier. The consistent mention of cleanliness suggests a high standard is typically maintained.
The location is frequently described as quiet, peaceful, and ideal for exploring the local area, with easy access to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Proximity to local shops and the town centre is also appreciated.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed mentioned several times. However, there are a few comments about the sofas and a spare bed being less comfortable, which slightly lowers the score.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, especially the kitchen, though some guests mention issues with hot water taps, noisy extractor fans, and a shower that could be improved. These maintenance issues suggest room for improvement.
While guests mention welcome treats and the provision of tea, coffee, and milk, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of these gestures or their impact on the overall experience. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
About this property
Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac at the foot of Winder Fell and just a short walk from all the amenities of Sedbergh, with a selection of shops, pubs and cafés, is Bramble Cottage. This charming, small, mid-terrace property offers a lovely base for touring the Yorkshire Dales National Park, where you can relax on return from long walks over the fells. This cottage is well-suited to couples and small families seeking a varied holiday in a fascinating part of the country, with plenty of hidden gems to explore in the area. Furnished and decorated to a good standard, you can unwind in the cosy sitting room and overlook the garden while enjoying a home-cooked meal at the dining table(can be extended to sit 6), prepared in the well-equipped kitchen next door. You have two lovely bedrooms to choose form to catch your rest in, while the family bathroom is ideal for a long hot soak in the tub or a refreshing shower each morning before you step out to discover all the delights of the Yorkshire. Dine alfresco in the summer time and enjoy the privacy of having your own outside space as you sip a cool glass of your favorite tipple. You are only a short distance from the town's market place, which is held on the car park at the eastern end of the main street each Wednesday. The property location is a walkers paradise and perfect for dogs, scenic and rural. You also have a traditional, Yorkshire pub, delicious restaurants and takeaways, along with various other amenities. There is a network of walking in the area, with trails leading you away from the crowds in unspoilt hills and valleys. From Woodside Avenue there is a footpath that takes you to Howgill Lane and from there you can follow a popular route through Lockbank Farm to the top of Winder and beyond. A popular attraction is Farfield Mill arts and heritage centre on the Garsdale road, just outside Sedbergh and for anyone interested in history, the Quaker Meeting House a mile down the Kirkby Lonsdale road is well worth a visit. Discover The Howgills with its fantastic opportunities to enjoy the night sky, explore the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Parks, then return to this romantic, Sedbergh cottage at the end of each day.
Sedburgh is a market town, which sits just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, though within incredibly easy reach of all the attractions of the Lakes as well. The town has a 12th century church and a well-known school, and to stroll there feels like you have taken a step back in time. Sedburgh is one of England's book town's, and book-lovers will happily spend hours browsing the different bookshops and dealers before popping to one of the weekly markets held throughout the year, or having a bite to eat in one of the pubs, cafes and restaurants.

It suited our needs perfectly and the location proved to be ideal for our look around the Yorkshire Dales. The provisions in the cottage we comprehensive, even down to aluminium foil, a torch in case the power goes out and games if you are stuck in doors due to poor weather.

The shower is barley adequate, it needs to be replaced with something that operates from the hot water system - it lets you down! The bed in the spare room is uncomfortable and if you sit on the edge the bed turns over- needs to be replaced.

We hadnât stayed in December before and found the cottage warm and cosy â it was such a pleasure to return to after a day on the fells. The short access to the Howgill Fells is a wonderful bonus too. There is plenty of storage for a weekâs food which is important to us when self catering and the cottage has everything you need during your stay. The whole cottage was clean and fresh and we appreciated the welcome treats too. We look forward to future visits to Bramble Cottage.
