"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay it’s a pity it rained we would have loved to sit in the garden as the views are beautiful."
The barn is lovely and cosy and the wine and biscuits, jam were a nice surprise. We had everything we needed I would recommend it to friends and family.

"Very Very disappointed with owners never picked up my call, only once replied after me calling 20 times for some instructions and amendments."
Place was very nice with such a beautiful neture surrounding, all facilities was good but no proper cutlery, no welcome pack which we usually always received where ever we go, the big disappointment was they didn't bother to even leave small gallon of milk and sugar, we have arrived late and thought there will be suger and milk so we then have to run/drive to town to get milk & sugar so that we can have cup of tea after hectic day. I tried to ring several times to owner to ask if they can provide bit of milk and sugar as we were exhausted after long walking day. Overall stay was good country side peaceful place.

"Your description stated that there was an enclosed patio, but there isn't an enclosed patio and there is no area that is secure for a dog."
Which meant we had to keep ours on a lead at all times for her safety and to stop her approaching the caged cats that were on the patio adjacent to the front door of the barn. In fact, quite a bit of your description is a bit fanciful in its accuracy! The barn is comfortably furnished, and the bedding is of good quality, excellent shower and it the barn was pretty clean, although some of the window frames could do with a good scrubbing and the carpet is WELL past is sell by date and very stained. The kitchen equipment and crockery look like it is leftovers from another kitchen! Far too much old and chipped crockery in the cupboards, a good basic, reduced size, matched set would be much more appropriate. The pan rack blocks access to the dishwasher, but if there were less useless items in the cupboards, the pans could go in the cupboards and the rack could be discarded. I think the coffee machine was the black item in the back of one of the window ledges, but it was so far back, there was no way of reaching it, luckily there was a good cafetiere present. There are no basics provided i.e. milk, sugar, coffee, tea, soap, handwash, but there is a good supply of cleaning products, but no dishcloth, just one small sponge. The fridge is also ready for the scrap heap, the shelves don't fit, so they are all on a backwards slope, the door doesn't have proper bottle shelves, so anything you put in there, falls out when you open the door and the bottom of the fridge was quite dirty, with evidence of past spills. Welcome basket of biscuits and wine was nice, but possibly the basics would be more useful. Information folder is scruffy, out of date and indicates that any queries should be addressed to Sykes Offices not the owner, not helpful when you can't get the tv to work on a Saturday night! Talking of which, the TV picture was very washed out and despite managing to alter the settings to get a watchable screen, it kept reverting once it had been switched off, very irritating! We met the housekeeper, who was lovely, very helpful with regard to recommendations and information, but it did appear that she wasn't given much time to prepare the barn for guests, since her duties also included the owner's cottage! The dishwasher was full of clean crockery when we opened it! However, at least we knew which items were ready for use! One huge positive of the barn is the garden, which is beautiful and extremely well maintained, however, it is not separate from the owner's section, so is not dog proof and obviously the caged cats are right next to your holiday front door. There is also a very steep/high curb from the lane to the parking area, which may not be suitable for some low cars, this should be mentioned in your description. The location was peaceful and quiet, yet close to the town and good walks. Nearby Fairfield mill is definitely worth a visit, excellent cafe and very interesting history.

"Lovely property, with everything we needed."
Bed was super comfy, and situated in a lovely quiet area. We had a bit of a problem with the hot water however the host was super prompt at getting it resolved. Would definitely recommend this place, it was perfect for 2 adults, 2 kids and our dog.
-
"The property is good."
The power shower is fantastic.The Broadband could be better. A sign on the wall outside on road would be a advantage. The property wasn't cleaned properly as bins inside weren't emptied. But a great holiday. Will be back one day.

"We had a fabulous week at the barn."
From our welcome pack to our fond farewell, Brenda made sure we had everything to make our stay first class. We look forward to our next visit.
It was lovely to see you hope we meet again. Property Owner

"Fabulous place to stay."
Very comfortable and well equipped. Lively welcome pack too. Peaceful and tranquil spot although just 20 mins easy walk into town. Loads of wonderful walks from the doorstep.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"Our stay at the Barn was wonderful and very relaxing."
We couldn't have asked for more. Brenda was very helpful and friendly and the weather was kind to us. Sedbergh is beautiful and everyone was friendly. We will definitely be returning. Janet and Glen

Glad you enjoyed your visit. Property Owner

"The Barn is generally comfortable, but it feels like it needs a bit of love."
The kitchen feels very tired - couldn't get the oven to work, and most of the 'glassware' was plastic. The mattress in the one bedroom we used definitely needs replacing. Shower was great. And log burner was a treat.
-
"Lovely property and lovely owner Brenda is very welcoming we loved seeing all the cats and kittens."
Fantastic location, both beds could do with an alternative mattress due to lack of support but for the time we stayed not a huge issue for us, we enjoyed the fire which caused us to be far too hot and we had to open the porch door. Lots of home from home comforts and everything you could need for a stay we love the location and can definitely recommend the haddock paddock chip shop in the village and also the coffee morning in the church. This was our second visit to the barn and we will return again :)
Lovely to see you again. Property Owner

"A warm cottage with great walks from the door."
A lovely, quiet location.
-
"A few basics missing."
Bathmat, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablet. Loved the cottage. Very warm and cosy. Ideal location.
I am next door if you need anything. Property Owner

"The barn is a lovely cottage, 20 minute walk into sedbergh, we had a great few days, we will return…"
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your visit. Property Owner

"Just a perfect place"
-
"A lovely cottage in a great location."
The owner was welcoming and helpful.
-
"The cottage was comfortable and relatively well equipped but generally lacked TLC."
The storage heater worked very well but we could not make the multifuel heater fire up the radiators (as it was supposed to happen according to the instructions)... luckily it wasn't that cold but I can see it being a problem in the winter when it's colder.
-
"Absolutely loved The Barn, lovely cottage, beautiful, scenic views and peaceful."
The cottage had everything we needed. Beds where so comfortable, great nights sleep! If we ever go back to Sedbergh I would definitely be booking The Barn again.
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"Comfortable cottage."
Beds and shower were brilliant. Plenty of space for 2 people. Be aware that the garden is enclosed but your dog can wander into the owners garden and say hello to the caged cats! The access to the drive has a really high edge which may not be suitable for low cars. The wifi was a bit intermittent but it always came back on! Sedbergh is a lovely town with choice of eateries and a well stocked Spar. Lovely walks from the cottage. Well placed for walking bits of the Dales Way.
-
"The quietest and most serene holiday let we have ever used."
It was idyllic for us.
-
"Super accommodating and very peaceful location with all the amenities and set in a beautiful rural setting."
Thank you!
Thank yo glad it went well. Property Owner

"Beautiful setting, semi rural but little town only a 5 min drive."
Short hike if you like walking but need a torch at night for part of it. Loads of places nearby to drive to. We went to Kendal and Morecombe for the day and also enjoyed browsing round Sedbergh. Note that in Sedburgh there are no carry out places apart from one chip shop which was closed for a fortnight when we were there. There are some lovely pub/restaurants and an Italian and cafes for during the day. We ate at a couple of the dog friendly pubs in Sedbergh Would recommend the Red Lion. So friendly and lady kindly reserved a quiter space in the lounge for us. Food was excellent. Regarding accommodation, pretty barn conversion attached to owners home and cottage garden. Has all you need by way of kitchen equipment, comfy seating, super powerful shower and very cosy environment. Two good sized bedrooms set up as doubles but one converts to singles if needed. Lovely bed linen and liked the quirky cottage style windows and barn door glazing reaching to the upper floor. Didn't need log burner or heating as nice and warm when we were there. Sky tv and good wifi. Also has a further convenient downstairs loo. Owner lovely lady on phone if needed. Even left some welcome treats, enjoyed the Sauvignon thank you so much! Couple of things if you have dogs. We had 2 little Lhasas and the really pretty garden was a bonus for letting them out early doors and throughout our stay. Mostly enclosed but the 2 large gates at entrance are quite gappy for small dogs, would suggest to owner they just need chicken wired to make it more secure. Also owners cats go in from the house to their enclosed run but this is not fenced off from guest barn so your dogs can walk up path to it, if not on leads. May cause barking if they are not used to cats. Just for information, the entrance to the lane leading up to the property is easy to drive past and we circled the area twice and drove into neighbours by mistake. Suggest after you cross the narrow bridge, look for first white farmhouse on left and it is a sharp left next to their driveway. You go down a narrow lane just one car width for just a few yards leading to next white farmhouse you see. Go to driveway on white side of buildings and you will be at correct building, go past owners car through double gates and barn is on left. It is so peaceful and relaxing and I would love to return some time.
Lovely to meet you.Good idea about chicken wire first time I have encountered that problem.Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Woderful owner always availableif needed."
Looking forward to a return visit
Lovely to meet you. Property Owner

"We had very nice week, most things were ok but there was a lack of instructions for various items so it was a case of suck it and see."
Was a bit disappointed that we couldn't watch SKY tv the code were given only worked for one night,and the internet was next to useless.
I was always here if there were any problems. Property Owner
-
"We had a very restful stay in the Barn, which is comfortable and well equipped."
The setting is tranquil and peaceful whilst at the same time being within walking distance of Sedbergh with all it's amenities.
Glad you enjoyed a stress free break. Property Owner
-
"The Barn was very comfortable."
We enjoyed putting on the wood burner on an evening . We missed having a nice dinner service that matched. The bedrooms also good except you could see through to each other’s bedroom which meant if you walked past naked you would be in full view of each other , we thought it would be a good idea to have a curtain at each side just for a little more privacy. The shower was great very spacious and lovely hot water. The landlady Brenda was very friendly and helpful. All in all we enjoyed our stay and lovely views.
-
"Lovely property."
Had everything you needed and perfect enclosed space for the dog. Lovely walks from the cottage. The owner was lovely and available if any queries. Welcome pack was much appreciated.
-
"Our stay at The Barn could not have been improved in any way."
We found the house the warmest and most comfortable of all the properties we have stayed at over the years. Such lovely spacious grounds for our dog to mooch around in! Brenda was most helpful and we truly are looking forward to our next holiday at The Barn. Thank you.
It was lovely meeting you and your gorgeous dog. Property Owner
-
"Very comfortable stay in well presented cottage offering lovely views of the countryside; we particularly enjoyed the sunrises over the hills at the front."
Nice walks around the area to enjoy down by the river and in Sedburgh town. All dog friendly!
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"Absolutely beautiful cottage with everything that you could need and more like a home from home."
Can’t wait to come back we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the time at the barn highlight for me was going for a walk on a night seeing a barn owl in the trees… close to some beautiful walks and waterfalls loved it!!
It was lovely to meet you and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"What a beautiful barn and fantastic location!"

So glad you enjoyed it. Property Owner

"We had a very relaxing break thanks."
Lovely property in a great location. Well equipped and comfortable. Would be more than happy to return sometime! Ideally placed for lots of days out around the area, or equally if you just want to stay local.
-
"Good location, walks from the door, warm cosy barn."
Every thing we wanted in a holiday
-
"What a lovely cottage in a beautiful area."
There was everything you need and the sky TV was an added bonus. The large enclosed garden was great for our dog to wander around. We will definitely be returning to the Barn.
Thank you it was lovely meeting you. Property Owner
-
"This is a lovely cottage to stay in warm an comfy with everything you need, nice ..."
This is a lovely cottage to stay in warm an comfy with everything you need, nice quiet and peaceful location in walking distance of amenities, The area is beautiful with stunning views and plenty of walking on the door step or only a short drive to the Lake District Would definitely recommend a stay here
-
"The Barn was a beautiful cosy and comfy place to stay, with everything we needed."
It's perfect for exploring the lovely Fells and rivers with many interesting walks around and in Sedbergh. .
Glad you enjoyed your visit. Property Owner

"The Barn was clean and comfortable with quality furniture, beautiful views!"
everything you could need was provided , including welcome treats of wine, biscuits and jam. We will return! Thank you Brenda.

"A lovely cottage with great facilities in a very quiet area."
The WiFi was a bit variable, we could not connect one of our laptops but that wasn’t that important. We would certainly recommend this cottage.
-
"A lovely, comfortable and well equipped base for walking in the dales."
The owner was very welcoming and available during our stay. We had a lovely week there.
-
"The Barn is in a beautiful position with many wonderful walks from the door."
The weather was very good so we had every meal outside on the patio looking at the surrounding countryside. Inside the accommodation was clean and comfortable. A small bonus was Sky TV.
Thank you glad you enjoyed your stay.Lovely to meet you. Property Owner
-
"Really lovely property but … We had some trouble finding the property."
It was tucked behind the owners house so not visible with fantastic views, but once we knew where it was we were delighted. It was secluded, quiet, but also close to everything that you could walk everywhere. Beautiful walks direct from the house. The owner lives next door and was lovely and accommodating. I understand some comments regarding the upstairs bedrooms having windows facing each other, but it did not affect us and I think you could do something about it if you were uncomfortable. Property had everything you were likely to need. The only small problem we had was the cleanliness of the property. Many of the pots actually had food in them, the dishwasher did not seem to work and there was a shelf in the fridge that we removed as it was so dirty. We received a lovely welcome gift and would not hesitate to recommend, our little furry family member also enjoyed the lovely secure gardens and made friends with the cats.
Sorry about the problem with the pots,cleaner sends her apologies if she missed it.Dishwasher does work and always here to help with problems but glad you enjoyed it was lovely to meet you. Property Owner

"A lovely, comfortable and well-equipped cottage."
Great location for walking. Peaceful and picturesque.
Thank you,glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"This is a gem of a place to stay close to Sedbergh."
Lambs were a bit noisy in the morning (!!) but what a delight to wake up to in such a picturesque setting. Brenda is a superb host and we will definitely be returning soon.
Thank you it was a pleasure having you stay and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
-
"Lovely cottage and lovely owner."
Good stuff: Good size bedrooms Good facilities Pretty location with lots of piece and quiet Not so good stuff: Remote location, 40min to Lake Windermere Very narrow, single lane roads leading to cottage
Glad you liked the cottage,only 1 mile from Sedbergh. Property Owner
-
"Barn very clean."
We had everything we needed. Fantastic Multifuel burner . Great location being within walking distance of Sedbergh. Can't wait to go back
-
"A great place to set off for walks on the Fells."
A very comfortable cottage with a great shower! The only slightly negative point is the (viewing?) window in the two bedrooms. Whilst they are set at 90 deg. from each other and the front door, you can still see partly into each bedroom. This might be OK if you had kids in there but potentially awkward with friends. Some curtains across them might be useful.
-
"Although the cottage was well furnished and v comfortable, it was let down by attention to detail."
Our bedding had not been properly aired, smelt horrid so I had to launder it the next day. In the kitchen, some cutlery and plates were not very clean, china was lacking and chipped, only 1 wineglass and 3 plastic (discoloured) ones. There was a dishwasher but only 1 tablet. A washing line but no pegs to be found. No instructions for the oven and TV. The location was great and the cottage was warm. It just needed sharpening up a bit.
-
"Great location, good sized rooms."
Clean and tidy. Garden was spacious . The landlady kindly provided a crate for our puppy and left some nice welcomes goodies. Some fixtures and utensils needs updating/ replacing . There were building works going on at the landlady’s home next door and works men had to frequent through the property , which was not informed. Overall great location and spacious property .
-
"We have had a very enjoyable stay at The Barn."
It is very comfortable and homely. We had everything that we needed and it is set in a beautiful location with wonderful walks nearby. We loved waking up to the sound of sheep and birdsong. We found that the location is perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales as well as the Lake District. We didn't have time to see everything that we wanted and would love to return another time. Thank you to our hosts for our welcoming gifts which was very thoughtful and much appreciated.
-
"Wonderful week at this lovely property in a fantastic location Very well kitted out."
Lovely host. Treats provided for us on arrival. We will be going back next year!
-
"The holiday cottage was very lovely, the owner very helpful when needed, the surrounding areas are so nice, would definitely have a return visit."
-
"The Barn provided us with the most idyllic and exceptional place to stay."
It was immaculately clean and had all the facilities we needed. The location was perfect - peace and tranquility guaranteed. The garden was safe and secure for our dogs, with stunning hillside and riverside walks nearby. We would definitely love to stay here again. Overall, this is our 4th holiday with Sykes cottages and we have never been disappointed.
-
"The Barn Cottage was warm and Brenda the owner was very welcoming after a long drive from East Sussex."
The wine and biscuits were a lovely touch. The lanes to the cottage are quite narrow and we suggest you reverse into the driveway to make it easier upon leaving the next morning to go on out and visit the surrounding area. The Howgill Fells can be seen from the drive and are stunning in the early morning and evening setting of the sun. The weather was not very kind to us on our week but there again we were in the North part of England. The lakes were stunning as always but Windermere was very over crowded and we couldn't believe how many visitors were going mask free. Our only niggles about Barn Cottage are that the king-size bed mattress is very very soft, if you suffer from bad backs at all use the double bed. The 3 piece suite is again very soft and we found it uncomfortable but are used to recliners at home( and we can't have everything when not in our own home) . Also a few baking trays in the kitchen would be helpful. This area is absolutely beautiful and Barn Cottage is a lovely place to stay if those few niggles were looked into.
-
"A marvellous rural setting, surrounded by the Fells, yet close to the delightful Sedbergh, with easy access to the Lake District and the western Yorkshire Dales."
The house itself, a converted barn, oozes character and is well equipped, with two good sized bedrooms, an excellent kitchen and the bonus of garden furniture and an admirable TV with plenty of channels to keep you entertained. A particular pleasure was the opportunity in the first week, blessed by gorgeous weather, to have breakfast outside, looking at the sheep grazing on the hillside and surrounded by the flora of a stylish garden. Altogether a delightful fortnight!
-
"We had a really lovely short break at The Barn."
Brenda is a friendly and considerate owner, just next door but giving us space. The property is superb and brilliantly located for the fells, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Sedbergh is a small town, just a mile away - the dog enjoyed the lane into town. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break. Highly recommended.
-
"Location, as you would expect, was fantastic."
Easy walking distance from the town centre with some great shops and cafes. Very civilised in the area as most shops had toilet roll for sale (coronavirus issue). After a long days walking the best thing about the cottage was the Aqualisa power shower, very welcome! Also the log fire gave a very warming effect throughout the cottage (once I got the hang of lighting it) as in March it could still be chilly.
-
"Lovely barn in a beautiful location, lovely and warm especially when wood burning stove was lit, unfortunately weather terrible and we left early."
The only thing we thought was missing was the shortage of dishes, such as basins, casserole dishes, presentation dishes for table.
-
"Nice barn conversion in ideal setting."
It has a rural feel but within walking distance of the town. Brenda, the owner next door, welcoming and cottage very warm. A bit more cutlery would be useful.
-
"I take my elderly parents away each November for a relaxing break."
I also take my dog. One of the essentials for our visit is SKY TV, as it is dark early in November and my parents like to relax and watch certain programmes (the rest of the year they look after their 3 grandchildren under 6 years of age). There was clearly some issue with the TV. I was told it had SKY Movies by the owner. We could only get 1 movie channel on (Sony TV), and about 8 channels in all, so we were extremely limited. The owner didn't seem overly fussed about sorting this out promptly, and told us SKY were coming to fix it the following week, as we were leaving the cottage at the end of the holiday. I also mentioned to Sykes Cottages and they couldn't have been less concerned in my opinion...I expected better. I treasure these holidays that I provide for 2 very special people who aren't in the best of health at the moment, and it was tarnished somewhat by lack of action or interest on the part of Sykes in particular. I'm frustrated in Sykes and their snarky "what do you want to happen" questioning to me. How can I answer when I don't know the options? I am frustrated that I didn't receive the experience I paid for. The cottage was lovely and pretty much everything was there which was needed. The shower is awesome! The owner was lovely and I don't mean it to be a criticism of her.
-
"Perfect for touring the Dales."
Lovely and peaceful at the Old Barn as well as out and about. Easy to get to the Lake District as well as the Dales. Welcome little package left for us.
-
"Good walking base."
Good Fish and Chips from Haddock Paddock
-
"Superb little cottage - very comfy and in a good location."
very clean and despite being attached - felt like you were on your own little bit of land. We would book it again.
-
"Wonderful time in this great cottage."
Beautiful location with everything we needed. Our grandchildren had a fabulous time. Brenda is warm and welcoming. This is an area of the Yorkshire dales we have never visited before and we will certainly return.
-
"Beautiful property with everything you could need included."
Lovely and warm property with the added bonus of a log burner. Super comfortable beds and lovely large shower. Excellent location for walks along the river and into the Lovely village which has shops and pubs within a mile. Very friendly owner who is not intrusive but there should you need anything. Ideal location for exploring the Dales and the Lakes. Would definitely recommend this property
-
"Wonderful week away in a delightful cottage in a superb location"
-
"The accomadation was home from home."
Clean and very comfy.it was ideally placed for access to the lakes and the Howgill fells lovely for walking.Very peaceful and rural.Land lady very nice and left us to it.
-
"Lovely cottage perfectly located to explore both The Lakes and the Western Dales."
We were met by the owner who made us very welcome. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We had a great holiday.
-
"The barn was a delightful place to spend our weeks holiday."
It was very clean and comfortable and Brenda the owner, made us feel very welcome. It is not far from the Lakes so we spent our holiday between the Dales and the Lakes. Sadberg is a very pleasant place to visit with a few quirky shops and some lovely cafe's. I would highly recommend the Barn to any one who wants a nice quiet holiday within reach of some of the most beautiful countryside . We will be going back next year.
-
"The Barn is a well equipped cozy barn."
Sedbergh is a hidden gem, between the Lakes and the Dales. An old fashioned small market town with a great variety of traditional shops and lovely walks all around. Plenty to do within 30mins drive, but if you want to relax and enjoy the countryside, you can park your car on arrival and not use it for the whole stay!
-
"A super cottage with a very friendly welcome from the owner."
We hope to return not only because The Barn is a lovely place to stay but, due to the 'Beast from the East' also paying a visit, we couldn't get out to explore the area! Hard to think of anywhere nicer to be snowed in and the wood burner kept us really warm.
-
"Lovely location , beautiful and easy walking distance to shops Will book again for sure ."
-
"A very nice property."
Only drawback was the extremely narrow lane leading up to it and awkward angle to get into the property. This should be mentioned before people book.
-
"The location and the quality of the accommodation was fantastic."
The house had everything we needed and more. It was first class
-
"We really enjoyed our stay, the barn had everything we needed and more."
A wonderful location, lots of great walks on the doorstep but also quiet enough to shut off from the outside world. Sedbergh a short walk away, full of information, great cafés and friendly locals.
-
"A beautiful place and a really kind land lady."
Thanks for everything

About the location
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.
