Wild Boar Cottage

Wild Boar Cottage suits families and groups looking for space and privacy—three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, means no queuing for the shower. The layout keeps everyone comfortable: ground-floor living means no stairs, and the open-plan living and dining area gives a sense of room without feeling scattered. A wood-burning stove warms the main space; French doors open onto a stone patio where you can sit out and take in the views across the surrounding landscape.

The kitchen has everything for self-catering—electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge-freezer included—so you're not reliant on eating out. Two of the bedrooms have kingsize beds; the third has two singles. Wi-Fi is provided, heating and electricity are included, and bed linen and towels come as standard. The back garden has a seating area; private parking for four cars is on site. No smoking indoors.

The cottage sits on high ground, which means you get clear night skies. Sedbergh, a market town on the edge of the Howgill Fells and Dales, is nearby for supplies and exploration. The setting suits walkers and those wanting a genuine retreat away from towns, though there is a step down into the garden.
