Fell View

Sedbergh sits in the shadow of the Howgill Fells, and Fell View puts you within walking distance of both the market town and the fell country beyond it. The cottage stands a short walk from the town centre, where independent bookshops, cafes and the local shops cluster around cobbled streets. A rear gate opens directly onto a footpath heading up into the fells—the real draw if you're here to walk.

Inside, the ground floor is open-plan living and dining with a well-stocked kitchen; a glazed door leads out to a private garden with patio and seating. Upstairs are two bedrooms—a king and a pair of singles—and a bathroom with shower over the bath. The essentials are covered: heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included, along with parking for two cars on site. There are two steps down into the garden itself.

This suits couples and families wanting a base for walking or a quieter break in a bookish kind of town. No smoking inside.
