Oakdene Country House

• "We have stayed at many holiday cottages and I can honestly say that Oakdene has been one of, if not the best we’ve ever been to."

  The setting, the decor, the attention to detail, the facilities, the views, none of it can be faulted. This is honestly an amazing place, it’s even more luxurious than in the photos and it’s located in a relatively unvisited but beautiful part of the Yorkshire dales. Chris is an excellent host who not only gave us lots of useful tips about the area but also arranged a brilliant clay pigeon shoot! Can’t wait to visit again!

• "Simply the loveliest of holiday accommodation."

  We were a family of eleven adults & seven children aged eight weeks to 70 & never felt cramped as so much space . Top notch furnishings & figments , spotlessly clean throughout . Amazing views from almost every room . We enjoyed the hot tubs , cinema room & games room but it was also so nice for adults to have the peace & quiet occasionally of the beautiful morning room . The place is all even more gorgeous than the photos & we all loved it . Sedbergh is a super village , we enjoyed county cricket , street fair , fete & pub lunches there . There is a large Spar for essentials in Sedbergh . The property is peaceful as set far back from the road . It is the perfect location for exploring Cumbria & the Yorkshire Dales . We would have no hesitation in recommending Oakdene & shall hope to all return there . You will not be disappointed, it’s perfect . Thank you Chris & Sally very much .

• "The property was superb."

  Everything was just as you would want it to be in a house for a large gathering. The interior feel of the house is modern and elegant. The kitchen is fully equipped and all bedrooms are comfortable with well designed en-suite facilities. WiFi is fast and stable, even with multiple users connected. Good professional approach to the whole booking by the owner.

• "We booked this property for a family break."

  We had 3 generations stay and the cottage was loved by all. There was ample space for all our little groups to entertain themselves and also to come together. The place was exceptionally clean when we arrived and the facilities were brilliant. Chris greeted us when we arrived and he went above and beyond. We had ordered groceries to the house for when we arrived, but unfortunately we were caught up in traffic. He received the delivery and even packed everything away for us, without us having to ask! He showed us around the cottage and was available for any issues we had during our stay. We could not recommend him as a host or the cottage as a fantastic place to stay. We would love to stay here again.

  We stayed at Oakdene for my 40th birthday celebrations! The whole family came! The house was ideal and even better than the photos if that’s possible! Ages ranged from 3 months to 60 years old and everyone loved it! The perfect spot for a group get together! We are hoping to make it an annual trip ❤️

  I would definitely recommend the house as a holiday destination for a large group. It is clean, comfortable, very well equipped and everything works. The games room was a great hit with the children and the two lounges offered welcoming space for the adults. Beds too were really comfortable. A lovely area to stay in and not as busy as the Lakes. An ideal holiday destination.

  All the rooms were spacious and the attention to detail in the décor and comfort was outstanding. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you could want. The outdoor hot tubs (now with cover) were well received by all. The house itself was lovely with plenty of spaces you could hide away and quietly read a book if required. All the bedrooms were large with ensuite apart from annex bedroom of 4 that boasted a HUGE bathroom. Amazing views from all windows overlooking the fields and countryside. Bonus points for lambing ewes right outside. Fairfield Mill right on doorstep which is well worth a visit. Sedbergh Golf Course was well received by our lady golfers. Don't forget your walking shoes if you decide to go for a walk into the village - some parts can be muddy. Outstanding trip and loads to do in nearby surrounds. Will definitely recommend and would love to return.

  We really appreciated all the little touches. The kitchen has all appliances, the hot tubs were clean and well looked after, bedrooms comfortable and the location itself is beautiful. We had a lovely Christmas and hope to return to Oakdene one day. Thanks so much! The only minor complaint we had is nothing to do with the house or hosts, it's that Sykes themselves are a really difficult company to get a hold of on the phone! We had numerous queries before our stay and couldn't get in touch via an avenues which we found really frustrating. Again, nothing to do with Chris/Sally/the house itself, just feedback about Sykes as a company.

  There are several large communal rooms, and a patio with BBQ. The property owner was extremely helpful, and the setting is fantastic, with views straight onto the hills (we spotted over 50 bird species, including hen harriers and a kingfisher on the pond). The nearby mill and cafe are a great extra resource. The only downside is that the shortest walking route to Sedbergh is via a dangerously fast road with no pavement; the owner sensibly advised us to walk to town using a better route via the mill and quiet river footpath, but this takes about twice as long

  I arranged a surprise 40th get together with friends for my partner and he absolutely loved it. The house is huge, stunning and spotless, most beds were superking and so comfy. The views were incredible and you could relax in the hotubs, looking out at the beautiful surroundings. There were so many gorgeous little lambs in the fields around us as well as rabbits, so next time I'll definitely have to bring the kids. They would have loved it!! There is a lovely pub we visited just a short walk away, where we had a lovely meal. Chris and Sally (the owners) are both so lovely and couldn't be more helpful, even before we got there they were on hand to answer any questions, Chris met us there on arrival and ran through everything with us and then they both came to say goodbye at the end of our stay. Their little girl is just adorable too. This has honestly been the best weekend away we've ever had and we will definitely be back, I honestly can't rate Chris and Sally enough or their beautiful country house. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Thank you both so much for everything and we will see you again soon I'm sure. Cat, Steve and the rest of the group.

• "Superb property and location."

  We met up with family to spend Christmas and New Year at Oakdene. It was brilliant. This elegant house is very well laid out with plenty of space to gather and enough privacy and quiet when required. The house has been renovated to a high standard and is beautifully furnished (and was tastefully decorated for Christmas too). The owners are lovely people who are on hand to help but take care not to intrude. The position, just on the outskirts of Sedbergh is perfect. We had peace, quiet and glorious views yet also a quick walk via a safe footpath across fields into town, and up onto the hills. Sedbergh must be one of the friendliest towns in England. The pubs, butcher, bakery and grocery shops are all excellent with chatty and welcoming staff. On top of this, there are numerous bookshops and, just behind the house, there is a fascinating art gallery and museum. Rain or shine, there is plenty to do. We thoroughly recommend Oakdene. If you book it, you won’t be disappointed.

  ) What a fantastic place! We came as our extended family for a week to celebrate my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary. Oakdene was perfect for us all despite the huge age range - 4 and 9 to 84 and 87! Oakdene is a fabulous house, beautifully fitted out. Very tastefully decorated and super comfortable sofas and beds. Not only did the bedrooms work brilliantly for us - and they are all of an equally high standard which was great so no-one felt they were being short changed, and three bedrooms were on the ground floor which my father appreciated - but the living space was also excellent which is not always the case. We could all 21 of us eat comfortably together. We could also all hang out in the lounge together - or spread out into the morning room, cinema room, snooker room, kitchen dining room or the various outdoor spaces, the hot tubs being a favourite!! And the setting is just stunning! What amazing views from the house and grounds, sunsets from the lounge and dining room and patio and on a clear night the starry sky was unlike anything we have seen for some time! Fairfield Mill just 100 yards away is a bonus with tea room and 3 floors of beautiful arts and crafts and artist studios. And of course the Yorkshire Dales are simply beautiful, as is the Lake District close by. It was hard to leave at the end of the week! All 21 of us would have no hesitation in highly recommending Oakdene Country House. And as hosts, Chris and Sally were exceptionally friendly and helpful, promptly dealing with any requests or issues. Thank you so much! It was so wonderful!!

• "What a gem!"

  This was a superb property for 10 adults and 10 children for a week's family holiday. it's possibly the best equipped self-catering accommodation we've ever had. It has been beautifully decorated and sympathetically upgraded and tastefully furnished, and is extremely comfortable. The kitchen is fantastic, with two quite astonishing induction hobs. Cooking for 20 was a breeze (we tended to do 10 kids first and 10 adults a bit later), and there is ample fridge and freezer space. The two full sized wine coolers can be used for all wine, beer and soft drinks freeing up fridge space for groceries. The bedrooms are all comfortable with lovely en suite bathrooms. Add in a full-sized snooker table, tabel football, two high tech hot tubs, and a TV room with an up-to-date 4K 65 inch TV and you'll barely every want to go out! However when you do, the surrounding countryside is well worth it and the nearby mill's tearoom serves great cakes. The views across fields to the hills are truly lovely. Improvements? Tricky! The only thing we thought we needed and didn't have was an icecream scoop. Some outdoor games equipment for children would add to the enjoyment perhaps. A big thank you to Chris and Sally (for whom nothing was too much trouble) for providing such a fantastic property. We hope to return next year, as it's hard to imagine finding somewhere better for a family like ours.

• "The property was fantastic, and still looks & feels brand new after the extensive upgrade."

  Very spacious - we had 16 max and that was a really comfortable number. Only the Cinema Room was at capacity with 16. We had a couple of teething problems with oven, heating & water, but Chris & Sally resolved very quickly and proved to be great hosts throughout the week. Only other issues - we were disappointed that we couldn't show DVDs or connect laptop by cable in the Cinema Room, but eventually found workarounds. Also the entrance gateway is a bit tricky to find & to exit from, but these were trivial items compared with all the plus points - in every other respect Oakdene was absolutely perfect. Many thanks !!

• "Pictures don't do Oakdene justice!"

  It takes your breath away in real life, everything is done to the highest standard and Chris and Sally cannot do enough for you. Our family spent an idyllic week in July celebrating a big birthday and it was amazing. Finishing the day off in the hot tubs with the breathtaking views all around was pure relaxation and we could not recommend enough!!! Loved it, thank you (Tip - if you are travelling off the M6 sat nav says location is on the right, it is actually on the left, facing Howgill House)
