  • "The Gatehouse is on a beautiful spot on the edges of The Lake District and North Yorkshire moors."

    The accommodation itself exceeded our expectations; it was very comfortable and well equipped. We loved the odd layout and the reassurance that it had an electric gate. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for our stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms were clean as well. The view from the upstairs lounge are amazing and breathtaking. We certainly return here and recommend

  • "My partner and I stayed at the gate house for 4 nights."

    It was well equipped and homely. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was comfortable and the room cosy. We found it lacked storage but as there was just us two we utilised another room for our belongings. We liked the underfloor heating but found it got cold quick when it went off and didn’t know how to turn it back on but upstairs was always warm so that was nice. The Internet was good and fast but couldn’t get a signal in the master bedroom but it wasn’t the end of the world. The gate house is situated in a quiet area and not far from town, you get some noise from the A road behind the property but it didn’t affect our stay. We had a lovely time and would happily stay here again.

  • "Location great for both the lakes & the dales."

    The property was immaculately clean and has had a lovely renovation. However, the owners have not considered living there for any length of time. There is no storage in the bedrooms. Beautiful lamp tables but a practical bedside table with drawers would be far more useful. There is no where to store your smalls!! No coat hooks or rack, no shoe tray. No shelves or baskets in the shower. The sofas are not comfortable luckily we did not spend too much time in them. We would stay here again as is a lovely property but with a bit more thought into practicality and storage it could be an amazing property. Thankyou for a great week.

  • "Great location between the lakes and the dales."

    Many lovely walks nearby. House is near to a busy road, not good for lying in but convinient to get around. General maintaineace and cleaniless of the house is good, but some information about the areas, such as local farmers markets and walks would be a bonus. Not critical, but we found slightly too much breakable decorations in the house, a hair dryer and a new set of cookware would be really appreciate. Anyway, thanks for the stay and a lovely area to visit.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on this stunning Gate House. We agree the area is absolutely fantastic, ideal to explore the local area and the historic town of Sedbergh that has regular market on a Wednesday. We will address the matters raised and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Lakelovers Property Owner

  • "No a great start when we arrived at 4."

    20pm to find no key to access the property then had to ring Sykes Cottages to tell them - 45 minutes later we got access to the cottage. It wasn't ideal as our son suffers from IBD so gave him an extra worry that he had no access to toilet facilities. An instruction booklet would be a great idea as there are no instructions on how to work anything - heatmisers, oven, hob etc. There was also a loud humming noise right outside the bedrooms which was very annoying when the house was otherwise quiet and you are trying to sleep. One of the garden chairs is broken - luckily we saw this before sitting on it. Some comfier garden furniture and a parasol would be a good idea as it's such a lovely setting.

    Hello Mrs Clarke and thank you for your feedback. I can only apologise again that the key wasn’t there for you on arrival however I didn’t bring it up less than 5 minutes after I received the call from Lakelovers. With regards to instruction manuals, it would be quite difficult to write down instructions for every single appliance without it being dozens of pages long however we will certainly look into and see how we could make it easier for guests. In relation to the noise, I can’t think what that could be as we have never had that complaint before but again, I will look into it. The table and chairs were all new this year very sorry that one of them was broken during there stay, however it has now been replaced. I hope this response is helpful and we would love to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner

  • "Lovely scenery and beautiful cottage set in a well maintained estate."

    Fabulous private gated driveway! Cottage has modern heating facilities throughout with the underfloor heating in bathrooms feeling very luxurious. Unfortunately what let the place down was the horribly uncomfortable master bedroom mattress and upstairs living area sofas. The sofas were really uncomfortable to sit on and it wouldn’t take much to fix these issues with some better quality sofas and mattresses installed. Some other minor issues such as lights flickering and general paintwork could be improved. Also wasn’t a huge fan of the cleaning regime set out by your company- thought bed stripping and emptying bins would have been included in our rental fee.

    Hello Mr Gordon and thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay however I’m sorry to hear there were a few things you weren’t happy with. With regard to the mattress and sofas, we have never had a complaint regarding their comfort however we will look into it to see if anything can be improved. The light bulb is now fixed and although we decorate the whole house every year, we cannot re-decorate between guest stays so unfortunately there maybe be scuffs and marks from previous guests just as you would expect from a hotel. In response to your comment regarding our cleaning regime, with it being a self catering unit and not a hotel, you will find most places will ask the small courtesy of stripping your bed and taking the bin out. When you are only paying around £25 per person per night, we simply cannot afford to run it how you would expect a hotel room to run. I hope this response is helpful and would love to welcome you back again soon! Property Owner

  • "Firstly I would like to say we really enjoyed our stay the property was beautifully furnished with an impeccable taste and all bedding,towels etc were of excellent quality."

    The good quality hand wash and toiletries were an additional touch which was appreciated. We enjoyed the snacks and tea/coffee etc which were left to welcome us. However we had a few issues when compared to our other holiday breaks in the uk; Their wasn’t a detailed welcome pack containing information/instructions for operating the central heating or for the fire in the sitting room. The water pressure in the showers is not very good. The main bathroom has no window blind and that is an issue as the window is not frosted. The kitchen did not have a long handled brush, dustpan &brush for general cleaning. The plinth under the kitchen units keeps falling when you open the dishwasher which was something we had to be careful with to avoid it falling on our toes. For some reason there were two greasy roasting tins in the cupboard and one chipped drinking glass. A mat at the entrance would mean we had somewhere to wipe our feet and the floor can be kept clean especially when faced with rainy weather. Lastly the WiFi connection was not very good. Just some points which if rectified would definitely give the property 5 stars.

Where you’ll be staying

SEDBERGH

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

The attractive old market town of Sedbergh (pronounced Sed-Ber), with its old-world atmosphere, is not only set in the magnificent western dales of the Yorkshire Dales National Park but is also close to the rugged eastern fells of the Lake District. The town, with its narrow streets, little shops, traditional pubs, famous school dating back to 1525 and its 12th century church, has been a thriving community for hundreds of years, with a market dating from the 13th Century. 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.
