  • "Lovely stylish cottage ."

    Very comfortable beds & oil central heating very efficient & warm inside even though there was frost outside on our last morning. Absolutely stunning views from every window. We love it as we have stayed here 8 times in about 7 years . The owners are to be commended in how they have renovated this beautiful cottage. Nigel & Adelle

  • "A lovely cottage amid rolling farmland."

    Clean, tidy, comfortable and excellent facilities, including a reliable internet connection. Have stayed a number of times and am always impressed with the variety of wildlife in the vicinity. This time, for example, a hare appeared in the courtyard. On a previous visit we saw a family of hedgehogs. Red squirrels are also evident in the area. Have booked for next year and are looking forward to that!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. I’m glad to hear Spout cottage provides great and comfortable base for enjoying superb nature viewing experiences in this wildlife heaven of the location in this unique part of Yorkshire Dales National Park. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in 2025! Property Owner

  • "What a fabulous cottage."

    Inside has got good quality things. Top quality kitchen cupboards, top quality bathroom fittings. The bed is so comfortable. It was clean and tidy. Everything you might need is supplied. The location is great very quiet and still. A farmer on quad bike went up past the cottage a couple of times a day, that was the only vehicle we saw. Lots of walks around, and only approx 35 mins walk to town along the river. I would recommend this cottage 100% and hope to stay again in the future.

    Thank you for your great feedback. We are glad you have enjoyed the cottage and the surrounding area. We would be very glad to welcome you again for a chance to explore more of what this hidden gem of Yorkshire Dales National Park has on offer. Property Owner

  • "Excellent property."

    The cottage was lovely - and everything worked well so that we were comfortable. Lots of attention to detail by owners to make sure practicalities were easy. The surroundings were beautiful and lots of birds and flowers to observe. And lots of local footpaths with option of walking in higher areas such as Howgill Fells just a short drive away. Sedburgh was welcoming and a nice small town with a helpful Tourist Centre. Kendal was half an hour away and had a nice couple of meals there.

    Thank you for your feedback. It is much appreciated. It’s is very nice to hear our efforts to make Spout cottage a great holiday let experience are noticed by our lovely Holidaymakers! Property Owner

  • "Spout Cottage is in a beautiful location with far reaching views of the countryside and Howgills."

    The cottage is very well equipped and cosy. The additional pillows and fleecy blankets were a welcome addition. The lane heading to the cottage is single track but there are passing places and is fine if you drive carefully. There are some lovely walks from the cottage - we had a wander down to Farfield Mill one day and then over to Garsdale and Baugh Fell another day. There are also plenty of walks from Sedbergh too, the Sedbergh - Dent circular walk was a favourite of ours. There’s a well positioned bench in the garden which is perfect to catch the sunset and then the night skies. I would certainly recommend the cottage and the owner was very helpful and informative when contacted regarding key collection.

  • "Lovely cottage and in the perfect rural setting."

    Extremely quiet with bursts of lovely birdsong and the occasional bleating of lambs. Amazing views from all windows, my favourite was the small one in the lounge which has ivy around it. Sitting there after a sightseeing excursion was extremely tranquil. The garden is lovely and we were lucky with some sunny days to spend two afternoons in it. The newer garden bench is deceivingly comfortable! The kitchen is full of light from the large windows and so nice to cook and eat in there. The cottage was clean, comfortable and warm. We didn’t need to use the log burner at all. Lovely little welcome pack of biscuits and wine when we arrived. There was only a teaspoonful of sugar in the sugar canister when we arrived but there is a large local Spar just out of Sedbergh. The tumble dryer is in the bike store outside, the dryer door needs a good pull to open but persevere as it will open! The double bed … so super comfortable! Cannot fault the cottage at all and would highly recommend it! Thank you to the owners for sharing such a delight! Note to Sykes: the TV is a Smart TV and there is no longer a DVD player at the cottage as per listing.

  • "This 'luxury cottage' was tired, grubby & very disappointing."

    Arrived to find the leather sofa contaminated with crumbs & a nail clipping. Carpet was dirty, long-hair rug covered in hairs & dross. Dust, dirt & detritus under furniture hadn't been cleaned in days if not weeks. Food waste on kitchen floor & under hob, something like scrambled egg stuck to chair. We could go on. We took photos (stopped at 14). Didn't want to stay but no choice. Left at first light, 200 miles home - that says it all. Owner advises to use water filter due to spring water supply. We were not confident it was fit for purpose. Suggest future customers bring their own filter. The idea the cottage had been 'deep-cleaned' for Covid is risible. Tried to raise these issues with owner, no reply to texts or emails. We chose this cottage due to previous reviews. What went wrong?

    Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry to hear of the issues that you claim to have experienced. The concerns mentioned do come as a surprise as prior to your arrival I was confident that our long-standing cleaner ensured the property was cleaned up to our usual high standard. On the evening of your arrival, you emailed me some concerns to which I responded quickly in offering you an immediate inspection of the property and the correction of any issues found, an offer which you have not taken up. When I arrived at the cottage shortly after your departure, I was shocked to find that, not only had you been smoking in the cottage, but there was ash left over the windowsill and window frame, burn marks, cigarette butts and melted plastic in the window frame, and several discarded cigarette butts outside next to our oil feed and boiler which was a clear fire hazard. This is completely unacceptable; I remind you the cottage is a non-smoking property. I can only assume this is why you refused an inspection by our cleaner while you were there. The reason I have not replied to your emails and text after your departure, is because we have passed on this matter to Sykes Cottages agency. With regards to the water supply, our water comes from a 90-metre-deep private bore hole and is filtered, and UV sterilised prior to entry into the house. It satisfies all necessary checks carried out by South Lakeland Council authority. It is wholesome and perfectly safe to drink from the tap. I only ask guests to use a Britta filter for water going into the kettle to remove hardness and help stop the kettle furring up, as per cottage information provided. I pride myself on the standard and quality my cottage boasts and believe other past and recent reviews support this. Property Owner

However, if you don't fancy driving you can depart from the cottage and be on some fantastic walk immediately. Sedbergh itself had some lovely restaurants and cafes. And a surprising number of bookshops. The pre-holiday prep was straightforward; I downloaded the Sykes app and all the details were at my finger tips, backed up with supporting emails.

The property

Sedbergh 2 miles.

A beautiful, picture postcard, stone-built, detached cottage situated in the small rural hamlet of Dowbiggin, just two miles from Sedbergh.

A former farmhouse dating back to 1756, this quality Sedbergh cottage provides an ideal base for those wishing to get away from it all and enjoy the famous Howgill Fells, loved by Wainwright and illustrated in his celebrated books.

Lovingly renovated, this charming Sedbergh cottage offers quality self-catering accommodation, with a wonderful mixture of modern furnishings, with the original features maintaining the character and charm of a bygone age.

The ground floor comprises a warm and cosy sitting room with a woodburner set in a feature stone fireplace, a spacious kitchen with dining area and picture window looking out across the lovely garden to the nearby fells, underfloor heating in the kitchen and a beautiful beamed ceiling.

About the location

SEDBERGH

Kendal 11.5 miles; Kirkby Lonsdale 11.8 miles, Hawes 15.8 miles.

Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber), set at the foot of the dramatic and wild Howgill Fells, is an ancient market town in northern Dentdale. Sedbergh is situated just inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is only 12 miles from the Lake District National Park. The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has an olde worlde atmosphere. Leading from Sedbergh is Dentdale, the jewel of the Yorkshire Dales with its rolling hills and dry stone walls, stretching 14 miles from the windswept moors below Whernside to the confluence of the Rivers Dee and Rawthey. At the centre of the dale is Dent, with its cobbled streets, which has existed since Norman times and nearby Dent railway station is on the renowned Settle-Carlisle railway line. There are three golf courses nearby, as well as tennis, riding, and fishing, and the area is a paradise for walkers, ramblers, runners and cyclists. This, together with the tranquillity of the surrounding valleys, the two National Parks and it being England's book town, makes an ideal year-round holiday destination.
