“The property was serviceable but needs some TLC.”

There is an awful smell of damp when you enter. It is all just very dated and needs spruce up.

There is an awful smell of damp when you enter. It is all just very dated and needs spruce up. On the plus side, plenty of crockery etc in kitchen, good location and internet access.

“To Sykes Holiday Cottages The Old Chair Workshop, 99 Main Street , Sedbergh.”

LA10 5AD Ref 912695, PW 38friars We have rented this house from 19:9:20 to 24:10:20. The condition was unacceptable. The stopcock in the top en-suite is constantly dripping in the tank causing disturbed sleep. The master lock and front door lock were difficult to open, needing oil Most of the doors squeaked, needing oil. The fridge door did not close and there is no fridge light. There was wire wound round the banisters along both stairs which prevented holding on securely for balance. The WiFi did not work. Carpets are badly stained The walls are damp and very mouldy so the house smells of damp.

“We really enjoyed our week away.”

We have visited this home before so knew what to expect in the main. However, entry was later than the previous visit - presumably due to COVID cleaning protocol. We really didn't see a high level of cleaning evident though. The main bathroom toilet blocked very easily and carpets in both bathrooms made it feel rather mucky - I think the toilet issue was a common one. There was evidence of a lot of damp, yes it's a wet part of the country but really the plasterwork and a remodel of the bathrooms should be considered to deal with this. Randomly there was a washing machine, washing line but no obvious pegs so we bought some and left them there. Also better curtains in the games room would keep it warmer and make the room feel less open to the public.

“The house was lovely and in a perfect location in Sedbergh, lots of lovely cafes and pubs for food & drinks.”

The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to queries we had. We would definitely visit again.

“We rented this cottage for 2 nights at the end of January 2020.”

Two couples for my husband's 40th birthday. It was quite chilly when we arrived but after the heating had been on overnight it became cosy and warm. Parking round the corner was not a hassle. The cottage is clean and cute. Not very modern and a bit worn round the edges but that suited us fine. Kitchen very well equipped. Plenty of space for all of us. We went to the Dalesman pub for a meal on the Friday night which was excellent. All in all, we had a lovely weekend. Wish we'd booked for an extra night.

“The old chair workshop is a lovely cottage, with fabulous views.”

It has an atmosphere in the wintertime and we have been for the last 4 years. It is situated close to the centre of sedburgh with nice cafes and pubs - yet you can walk from the cottage up into the howgills (sleepy elephants) and this year we saw the wild ponies and the weather was beautiful. Would highly recommend the experience in a unique cottage and pretty village.

“We arrived at this wonderful property, using a key safe lock to gain easy access.”

Booking, and subsequent communication were straight forward. This was the beginning of a fabulous holiday in Sedbergh. The property was clean, spacious, traditional, well located and immaculately presented. Directly onto Main Street of the town centre, hardly used the car. An excellent stay for us. Thank you. Steve and Ariel.

- Mr Guy, December 2019
“The Cottage was clean, warm and homely.”

We very much enjoyed our stay and would want to stay again if in the area.

- Mrs Cunningham, March 2019
“The cottage was clean and very well equipped, with everything you could need in the kitchen and a wide variety of games, books and maps.”

We found the furniture and soft furnishings to be mismatched and a little tired, which detracted a little from the comfort and appearance of the interior.

- Mr Hayes, February 2019
“Had lovely stay in old chair workshop.”

.views from the lounge very beautiful - we had frosty views and misty magical views. The cottage is well situated on main street sedburgh, you can walk from cottage to the pepper pot..and we walked to the 17th century quaker house. We saw views of the wild ponies on winder fells, and went to the local pubs - dslesman and bull. Very nice to share such an atmospheric cottage and spend time in sedburgh..shush a well kept secet..of yorkshire dales and cumbria.

- Mrs Rampley, December 2018
“This cottage is perhaps the best we have stayed in.”

Perfectly located for Sedbergh, extremely well equipped and clean, central heating easy to use, games room useful if you have a family, good location for walking etc etc. Will definitely be staying there again.

About the location

SEDBERGH

Kendal 12 miles; Hawes 15 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.
