"Lovely property in quiet location – wonderful views and friendly neighbours."
It was great to be able to leave the car and do walks straight from the door. Beds comfortable and cottage very clean. There is a nice tearoom at Fairfield Mill a short stroll away and we enjoyed reading about the history of the old textile mill. Well placed for visiting the delightful town of Sedbergh, the Lakes and the Dales. Thank you for a relaxing holiday.

"Cosy homely cottage in a stunning location!"
All you could need for a relaxing break close to the lakes. Fabulous walks from the door and great for dips in the lake (if you like that sort of thing!) We will definitely visit again.

"The cottage is located in a uniquely hidden spot on a stream and is close to an old textile mill."
It now houses a nice tearoom and there is work on display and for sale from all kinds of local artists. Contact with the owner went smoothly. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the cottage itself. The space downstairs was much smaller than we had imagined based on the photos. The kitchen was very small, especially the sink. And that was quite a struggle, because there was no dishwasher. We traveled with two people and two average sized dogs, it was too small for us. There was also no dining area, just a fold-out table with stools, but there was no place to put it anywhere normally. We also found the house smelling musty everywhere, of damp and mold. We immediately bought scented sticks, but that didn't really help. At a glance it was clean, but the location and age of the house require better ventilation. That smell also gets into the curtains and other upholstery. And finally: the owner indicates that the access road is unsuitable for large cars, but even with a normal size car you must be an experienced driver. It is really very narrow and you cannot afford a small steering error. All in all, we only stayed 3 nights, even though we had booked for a week. We had to go back south for an appointment, and decided to rent another location for the rest of the week.

"Beautiful cottage retreat."
Clean and very comfortable. The owners always on hand and very helpful. Superb base for exploring surrounding areas. Dogs get a warm welcome in the village and lots of treats.

"Lovely, quiet, remote countryside location with beautiful garden views across to the Howgill fells."
Cosy with well planned furniture, great compact kitchen with all the facilites. Dogs allowed, with walks from the front door. Easy access to Sedbergh and surrounding Dales and Lakes. See you again soon.

"This is our second time staying in this property and we absolutely loved it."
Lovely place, stunning location and views and within walking distance of Sedbergh itself. Thank you so much once again.
-
"Wonderful place to stay and well situated with glorious countryside to explore and lots to do."
We loved it.
-
"Thank you for letting 5 of us and 3 dogs stay - we had a great time and your cottage was a godsend - hard to find accommodation for 5 adults and 3 dogs while your walking the Dales Way."
-
"A gem of a property in wonderfully peaceful location."
Brilliant location for countryside walks through fields and along the river. A short walk into the centre of Sedbergh which is a fantastic little village.
-
"We had a wonderful holiday in this cute cottage that was full of charm."
The directions we were sent were very helpful (and essential) and the guides to the local area in the house allowed us to make the most of our stay. We loved Sedbergh and walked in and out most days. There are loads of great walks nearby and further afield too. We’ll definitely be back!
-
"A comfortable, compact property which is ideal for one or two people."
The location is lovely - lots of walking from the door, and the sound of the river outside masks any noise from the roads. The owners were very helpful with detailed instructions about parking (easy enough with a small car) and a welcome supply of brownies, milk and bread on arrival. A couple of small niggles - the kitchen door doesn't shut properly, for example - but nothing to spoil the stay. Hope to be back one day.

"We enjoyed our stay over the Christmas week."
The cottage was cosy with a wood burning stove and well equipped. The bedrooms were very spacious and the beds comfortable. The hosts were easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we had a query. We imagine staying there in the summer would be really special as the location is unique with many lovely views, walks and nearby places to visit. Farfield Mill was amazing. Although parking is tight the neighbours were really helpful.
-
"Lovely quiet location."
Characterful and comfortable cottage. Farfield Mill art centre is so nearby and a delight. Road access very narrow with high hedges and only 1 passing place - would be a real challenge to reverse down it. We parked at Farfield Mill for most of the week.
-
"What a fantastic cottage in a fantastic setting."

-

"Fantastic Property everything and more"
-
"What a pleasant stay thank you very much, we used to stay at No 1 as my sister in law’s parents used to own it, lots of happy memories relived thank you very much, hope to come back soon!"
-
"The only small point is that the enclosed garden wasn't attached to the house, which I was a bit concerned about initially with having 2 dogs but in the end it wasn't a problem."
-
"Exceptional location."
.stunning views and so peaceful! Easy to get to the lakes and dales, lots of lovely walks. Sedburgh itself is a very quaint place too.
-
"The cottage was absolutely wonderful."
Couldn't recommend it more highly. Really comfortable place and well-looked after. We were made to feel incredibly welcome. The views from the cottage and its garden are breathtaking with the full panorama of the fells in front of you. It's also in the perfect place for all sorts of walks from the front door. Thank you so much for a brilliant holiday.
-
"We went away for Christmas and had the most amazing time the cottage is stunning, very clean and has everything you need!"
The views are to die for there’s local shops and places to eat and sooo much to see around the area, we went to a couple of the pubs too and the people were so friendly and chatted to you it was the best Christmas we’ve ever had thank you so much! :)
-
"The cottage has a lovely aspect overlooking The Howgill Fells & is well equipped."
Sedburgh is a lovely area & we used it as a base for undertaking the northern end of The Dales Way. Parking is quite a challenge especially if you are not confident about turning & manoeuvring in tight situations.
-
"The cottage is really comfortable and had everything we needed."
It's in a beautiful, secluded setting with breath taking scenery. A perfect place to come back to after a days outing. Windermere, Hawes even Morecombe Bay are less than an hours drive away.
-
"Listing this with 4 stars was a misrepresentation."
The property is dated. In need of some TLC . Its the 21st century. Facilities need to be better. No freezer. All prepared food needed to be wasted. Leaking tap in bathroom unacceptable with water shortages. Curtains in living room hanging off pole. Need to resolve rubbish removal.
-
"We have been going to haven sites for about 10 years but now that the children have outgrown the activities we decided to do something different."
This was the first time we have stayed in a cottage and we absolutely loved it! The cottage was so beautiful with walks around it and we even made it up to the top of Winder! The leaflets were really helpful for days out and there were some lovely finishing touches such as flowers and bits on arrival, the soft furnishings made the cottage extra special! Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday x

"Lovely cosy private cottage in a beautiful location."
Really peaceful and fabulous local scenery and walks in the dales, and easy reach to local pretty villages, shops, Farfield Mill arts & crafts and cafe literally on the doorstep, and not far to The Lakes for day trips. Very well equipped kitchen and all facilities. Lounge with big sofas and log burner, good TV and wifi - really roomy yet cosy. Very comfy beds (had such good sleeps) with pretty fresh linen, and great shower/ bath. Everything so clean and to a really great standard. Thank you to owners, Amy and Joe, for the warm welcome, great info about the cottage and surroundings and the lovely welcome pack of goodies and fresh flowers too. We love the decor, which is fresh, practical but oh so cute and cleverly furnished. Modern luxuries blended with cottage quirkiness. Such an inviting feel. We have two big dogs and had plenty of room for all of us; plus there’s a cute little enclosed garden which is perfect for sitting out and gazing over to the magical fells. This really is a special find. We would love to stay again.

"Very clean and tidy."
Unable to control Central heating. No wardrobes in upper bedrooms, nowhere to hang clothes. Could do with a small freezer compartment in fridge.

"A lovely cottage and we had a great stay, the enclosed garden was very small but ..."
A lovely cottage and we had a great stay, the enclosed garden was very small but actually didn’t matter as the weather wasn’t good enough to be out in the evening
-
"Cottage was very clean and had all the facilities that you would need for a holiday."
Very quiet and peaceful, so very relaxing holiday. Good location to visit the lakes and surrounding areas.
-
"A wonderful property set in an idyllic setting with the sound of the river and view of the fields and fells opposite."
Beautifully furnished and calming with loads of lovely touches such as the flowers, basket of breakfast stuff, dvds, books etc. Couldn't ask for anything more (though perhaps a small side table for my glass of wine
-
"Excellent location so peaceful."
Cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed including a fabulous welcome pack. Owners directions were invaluable, the property is well hidden in a beautiful tranquil location. We plan to return that is the best recommendation I can give .
-
"Beautiful location and the view’s are stunning."
Would definitely recommend.
-
"Had a wonderful holiday."
The cottage is extremely well equipped and the welcoming package was lovely and the fresh flowers gave it a really homely touch. Just what we needed to get away for a break.
-
"Cosy cottage, on three different floors, so you can bring the kids or another couple maybe."
Peaceful location and lovely owners. Wifi worked great, which is a big plus these days when many of us are still working online. Brilliant location.
-
"We loved this cottage."
The photos didn’t do it justice. There was a lovely little hamper (bread, muesli, conserve, biscuits and milk in the fridge) which got us off to a good start. The views were so nice to wake up to even though the weather wasn’t brilliant. Amy called to introduce herself and to let us know we could get in touch if there were any problems - she needn’t have bothered, everything was spot on. I’m sure we’ll be back.

Entering the property, you will be greeted by an open-plan living/dining room, beautifully appointed with two sofas gathered around a traditional woodburning stove, offering a welcoming setting to curl up with your loved ones and enjoy some quality time together of an evening.
There is a pull-out dining table available in the sociable space, where you can enjoy your lovingly prepared meals, cooked to perfection in the compact, but well-equipped kitchen resting to the rear.

2 Farfield Row is a delightful choice for a countryside break to Cumbria.
About the location
SEDBERGH
Kendal 11.5 miles; Kirkby Lonsdale 11.8 miles, Hawes 15.8 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.
