“We had a great family gathering despite atrocious weather.”

The was perfect, Plenty of space, comfortable and well equipped, we wanted fir nothing. We had a slight blip with the heating due to the rain and drying clothes but this was sorted remotely immediately.

“The cottage was fabulous, really well equipped and the decor and furnishings were very tasteful.”

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage and the location to others. An advance warning about needing bottled drinking water would be the only thing I would recommend.
Mrs Charnock April 2019

“Scale-gill Foot could not have suited our purpose any better.”

We loved the location, the house and the surrounding countryside. It was warm and extremely well equipped . We wanted for nothing! I would recommend it to anyone.
Mr Brown October 2018

“Beautiful location.”

Very quiet and peaceful. Red squirrels outside our bedroom window every morning!

“Very well equipped cottage”

“We had a great experience at Scale Gill Foot.”

The kitchen especially was very well stocked with all the resources needed to cater for our group of eight. Bedrooms would benefit from better clothes storage and proper bedside tables. The lounges were comfortable and the log burners were a real treat even in August, although we could not figure out how the vents on the upstairs burner worked. On the whole, the cottage will be fantastic with more refinements and a few more finishing touches. We do not know when the cottage was used before our arrival, but it just needed better management on the towels and bed linen. Everything felt slightly damp and needed a good airing and the benefit of the portable heaters.

“Some instructions on how to use the equipment especially the tele would have made it absolutely perfect.”

Thoroughly lovely enjoyable experience.

“Fantastic cottage - great facilities and great location.”

Very spacious, with a lovely cosy and comfortable atmosphere. The cottage has recently been renovated to a very high standard and was well equipped. It amply accommodated two families with a dog. The location was brilliant for walks from the door. We would thoroughly recommend.
Mrs Barnes November 2017

“An excellent cottage with good facilities”
Mrs Greenfield October 2017

“We were a party of four couples, two babies and two children under four who wanted a place comfortably big enough for us to sleep and a big kitchen as we would eat at least all breakfasts and main meals 'at home'.”

The cottage was roomier than we had imagined and everyone felt they could retreat to a quiet space if they wanted. We never all got together in the main lounge as it was so sociable to stay at the dining table or just fall back into the settees. The kitchen too was larger than it looked on the photos and had everything we needed. The setting was ideal - quiet countryside. Dent viaduct was an easy walk away. We enjoyed a trip to Wensleydale Creamery - great cafe there and excellent food and service. The weather and four tiny children meant we couldn't do any hikes but we hadn't expected to. The countryside is so pretty. It was a great recommendation to do an online shop. We loved the log-burner but only lit it for the first evening as it would have been too hot after that. We all highly recommend Scale Gill Foot!!
Mr Golding September 2017

“We have been to Dent Dale several times and always enjoyed the quiet, beautiful location, It was our first time in Scale Gill and we had purposely booked it for a family celebration.”

It has been tastefully renovated with underfloor heating in all the important rooms and a woodstove in the downstairs lounge/diner. It was spacious and the 5 bedrooms provided adequate accommodation for the 10 in our party and had beds for 12. The kitchen was well equipped with a Smeg range, fridge freezer, dishwasher etc. We couldn't fault it and the only things which would make it even better would some hooks in the bedrooms/bathrooms to hang clothes, towels. We will certainly consider it for our next big family celebration.
Mrs Wadley August 2017

About the location

COWGILL

Dent 4 miles; Sedbergh 9 miles; Hawes 11 miles; Settle 16 miles; Kendal 20 miles.

Situated at the head of beautiful Dentdale, Cowgill is a small hamlet consisting of the famous Dent station, the Sportsman’s Inn and a scattering of small farms and dwellings. Nearby, is one of the most remote breweries in Britain - The Dent Brewery, brewers of award-winning ales that can be bought in any of the three pubs in the local area. The surrounding countryside of Dentdale is magnificent, offering ideal conditions for fell walking and cycling, and just a short drive is the famous Three Peaks Walk, with Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough offering some of the most challenging walks in the country. Dent is the highest railway station in Britain, at over 1100 feet above sea level, on the famous Carlisle to Settle Railway. The line crosses the huge viaducts at Arten Gill and Dent Head, built of massive blocks of Dent 'marble', from the now-disused quarries nearby, before going through the Blea Moor tunnel to Ribblehead viaduct. Dentdale is possibly the finest of the Cumbrian Dales, a valley full of beauty and historic interest. The Dales Way long distance path runs along the length of the valley, as does the River Dee. Nearby Dent is the only village in Dentdale, with delightful cobbled streets. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Hawes and Malham, as well as Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh.
