  • "We had a wonderful stay at Burnt Mill Cottage."

    The location is quiet and peaceful, just a 15-minute walk into town along a lovely river path. Andi & David have clearly put a lot of thought into making the cottage feel like a home from home, with a much-appreciated welcome pack on arrival. The garden is perfect for sitting out and is safely enclosed, which was ideal for our dog. One thing to be aware of is that there isn’t a washing machine, though there is a clothes hanger and a whirligig provided. Sedbergh itself is a pleasant town, though dining options are a little limited, but the surrounding countryside more than makes up for it – truly stunning. Would happily recommend Burnt Mill Cottage for a relaxing break.

    So glad you had a lovely stay and thank you so much for your kind words about the cottage. Property Owner

    The accommodation was really comfortable, clean and spacious. The owners were very nice and were there to welcome us at check in, lots of useful information regarding the house and local area. We mostly enjoyed days out in the Lake District but Sedbergh is very pretty and we enjoyed walking into the town along the river. Thanks for a great stay!

  • "We absolutely loved our stay in burnt mill cottage!"

    The facilities were great - enclosed garden for the dog, lots of comfortable seating areas for a large group, lovely and cosy, comfortable beds & very well equipped kitchen! Not complaints but just to be aware - there were lots of blue bottles and flies in the twin bedroom which might be worth looking into. The cleaners also entered the property at 9.45am while we were packing up our cars and emptying the fridge etc - it felt like a very rushed and unrelated exit after such a wonderful relaxing time at your property. Might be an idea to ask them to wait until 10am and allow everyone to exit the property first. I wanted to leave a lovely message in the guest book but felt I couldn’t as they had already entered and started to clean up around is before the agreed exit time. Just a shame to feel stressed leaving the house after such a relaxing stay! Again, not a complaint just a tip to make the stay even more enjoyable for future guests. Thank you for everything & will definitely be recommending a stay here to family and friends in the future!

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Burnt Mill Cottage."

    The house was spotlessly clean and a perfect space for four adults and four teenagers. It is a fantastic location as a base for walking and exploring the surrounding area. We enjoyed walking along the river into Sedbergh where there are some lovely restaurants, cafes and pubs. David and Andi are fantastic hosts. They made contact before our arrival and were happy to answer questions we had during our stay. I would definitely recommend Burnt Mill Cottage, and would love to return in the future.

    Just prior to our let there was a potential problem, David (the owner) rang with details and kept me updated with the progress. The problem was resolved but it was nice to have the owner do as David did. We arrived and the house was warm, David came over, welcomed us and took us through how the heating worked and answered any queries we had. When we were leavibg David came firstly to wish us all a safe journey and to make sure we had a pleasant stay (which we did) All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable experience, hopefully we will be returning in 2025

After a fulfilling day exploring the majestic Howgills or nature-filled Dales, allow the warmth of the woodburning stove to embrace you, as you unwind with ease; meanwhile, the designated chef of your group can prepare a hearty meal in the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a Range cooker.

Indulge in a leisurely dinner around the generous eight-seater dining table before venturing outside to bask in the fading sunlight on the patio, overlooking the charming rear garden, and as the night sky unfolds, revel in the celestial display of stars overhead.

Burnt Mill Cottage resides just a short drive from Sedbergh's town centre, where you can stock up on essential supplies or enjoy a delightful evening at one of the inviting pubs such as The Red Lion, The Black Bull, or The Dalesman Country Inn, not to mention the authentic Italian cuisine of Il Forno.

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.
