Pola October 2024

“Such a clean, beautiful, nice and good location cottage.”

Every thing was perfect apart from the narrow bridge before you get to the cottage by a few minutes. That should be mentioed in your description, there is another rout that avoid that narrow bridge and takes you there. Many many thanks

Mary May 2024

“This was an amazing and beautifully suited accommodation.”

Very clean with plenty of room for the entire family. The kitchen had everything you could need with such a nice big table to gather. The sitting room was very comfortable as well as the bedrooms. The setting was unbelievable. The only thing we learned to deal with was the long very narrow drive to get to the house. Highly recommend!!

- Mary, May 2024
Vera March 2024

“Fantastic property.”

Warm and cosy, plenty of space, comfy beds , brilliant showers and lots of lovely soft towels. It was ideal for our family group spending quality time together in such lovely surroundings. Seeing all the newborn lambs in the fields around the barn was an added bonus. Thank you Dawn for your warm welcome. Hope to return next year.

- Vera, March 2024
Paul March 2024

“This property is fantastic.”

Really gorgeous scenery perfect surrounding setting. The property is perfect size for the amount of people. Kitchen was really well equipped everything you need. Absolutely loved the holiday and didn't want to leave.

- Paul, March 2024
Penny February 2024

“Lovely accommodation, spectacular views and with 4 proper double bedrooms perfect for our family get together with grown up kids.”

Very well appointed throughout and especially the kitchen. The welcome gifts were much appreciated and the fresh flowers a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

- Penny, February 2024
Gary January 2024

“Well.. After arriving at the barn,we were greeted by immaculate grounds,beautiful scenery and a stunning building”

. Inside was equally immaculate with beautiful bedrooms,huge living space and a kitchen with facilities to suit the biggest groups and most experienced chefs including 2 fridges,2 ovens and pristine cutlery,fixtures and fittings. We loved it and the welcome pack of flowers,chocolates and a bottle of fizz was a lovely touch. Our only negative is the tiny bridge and a warning needs to be highlighted on the website as its extremely difficult to navigate,especially in the dark. We are already looking to rebook for the summer.

- Gary, January 2024
Michael December 2023

“Warm, spacious and well maintained property.”

Spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The owners kindly put up a lovely Christmas tree for us as we stayed over the Christmas period. Would definitely stay again.

- Michael, December 2023
Helen December 2023

“Fantastic hosts, we had a lovely stay despite the heavy snow.”

The hosts were kind and allowed us to check out later due to the snow fall. We would definitely stay here again.

- Helen, December 2023
John September 2023

“The facilities of the barn are fantastic from the space, kitchen appliances, large bedrooms, lashings of hot water, and super fast broadband, this is without mentioning the location which is idyllic.”

Three of the party were working from home one of the days of our stay and it was better than home broadband. Cooked full roast of the Sunday, all trays,utensils and serving dishes are there. Beautiful stay, great accommodation, everything you could need

- John, September 2023
Gillian September 2023

“A beautiful converted barn up in the middle of nowhere!”

Great sized kitchen diner, large lounge and 4 great sized bedrooms, 2 with en-suite. Family bathroom with bath and shower. Extra toilet downstairs. Everything is very clean and beds are very comfortable. Lots of clean towels for everyone Has everything you need for 8 people. Kitchen very well equipped. To get to the barn you drive down single country lanes with passing places. Sat nav will take you via an extremely narrow bridge (not for the faint hearted!) I would suggest you follow the owner’s directions for the slightly longer way round!

- Gillian, September 2023
Jacqueline August 2023

“Spacious, comfortable and clean surrounded by beautiful scenery.”

Lovely big outdoor table and barbecue ideally positioned to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day. I would certainly recommend this lovely property to anyone wanting peace and quiet during the warmer months but would be wary of the journey there in the winter.

- Jacqueline, August 2023
Carol August 2023

“A big thank you to Dawn for a wonderful stay.”

Everything was absolutely perfect and my catch up with my extended family couldn't have been nicer. Please take note of the directions to the cottage - the narrow Bridge is very narrow, although my brother got his camper van over with an inch to spare in each side!!

- Carol, August 2023
Jenny July 2023

“Plenty of off road parking, clean and tidy with lovely comfy beds.”

Marvellous views and the added bonus of house martins nesting just above the front door. We had a couple of issues but had a quick email response. The utility area doubled as an excellent drying room after our walks. Loads of hot water and powerful showers. Nearest place for a meal out is Sedbergh but we took our own food and managed perfectly well in the well equipped kitchen.

- Jenny, July 2023
Gillian June 2023

“Fabulous accommodation with views to die for.”

A great base to go and explore the dales or the lakes. We think the fridge on the right as you look at the may not be working properly as nothing seemed to get cold. And we could have done with a second set of keys. Small concerns as the property was perfect for our stay.

- Gillian, June 2023
Lynsey May 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay and the property exceeded our expectations due to its spaciousness.”

We were also very appreciative of all that was provided particularly in the kitchen to make our stay more comfortable. We are intending to stay again!

- Lynsey, May 2023
Caroline February 2023

“A stunning property”

- Caroline, February 2023
Marie December 2022

“Beautiful barn.”

Very comfortable, warm, well equipped and spacious. Stayed with our grown up children and partners. It was perfect for a new year get together. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again.

- Marie, December 2022
Ruth December 2022

“We love this property.”

It’s our second stay. It’s spacious, comfortable, warm, very well equipped and delightfully situated. It doesn’t have a wood-burning fire, but we’re OK with that. It has everything else. The owners responded right away when we needed them to look at something. We’d stay here again. A wonderful property.

- Ruth, December 2022
Bryan November 2022

“Very comfortable indeed.”

Please follow directions and come in via Sedbergh. The 6' 6" bridge is better visited on foot - it's a lovely walk.

- Bryan, November 2022
Andrew September 2022

“Great weekend away with the old footy lads.”

- Andrew, September 2022

Hamza August 2022

“Amazing cottage, hosts had thought of everything possible to make the stay comfortable.”

Couldn't recommend this cottage enough.

- Hamza, August 2022
Jeanette July 2022

“This is a beautiful property in wonderful surroundings.”

Would highly recommend especially for larger families or groups. There is absolutely loads of room. Riddings is very well equipped with everything you should need and very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay exploring the Lake District a little bit of a drive but well worth it. We did use the 6’6 bridge to access the barn as it cut off many windy lanes, but measure your car first. We highly recommend this property.

- Jeanette, July 2022
Chloe February 2022

“Absolutely gorgeous cottage!”

It was immaculate, could not fault it. Beds and couches were very comfy. Felt so relaxed after staying there, wish we could have stayed longer! Dawn was very helpful when I emailed her about shops/restaurants/walks near by. Will be looking to book here again next year! Thank you❣️

- Chloe, February 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments and are pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
Glen December 2021

“We stayed at the property over the new year, it is a beautiful place and very well furnished.”

It was spotless and nice and warm when we arrived. I don’t think that we have any negative comments regarding the property and would definitely book again. The warning regarding driving to the property (if following sat nav) needs to be heeded if arriving at night. This does mean driving on local roads which has frequent passing points

- Glen, December 2021
Julie October 2021

“As previously stated the property is to an extremely high standard, as you'd expect.”

Extremely comfy beds and great drying room/utility space. Lovely to have dining space/crockery for the no of inhabitants, something you can't always rely on. Dawn was particularly accommodating pre stay and having left and brought away items incorrectly!! Space for our 3 cars and a van, at a pinch, just narrow roads as access but that was not unsolvable. Sorry for using up the First Aid kit!

- Julie, October 2021
Ann September 2021

“Stunning accommodation, clean, comfortable and very secluded.”

Will definitely stay again.

- Ann, September 2021
Ajitha June 2021

“We were amazed by the cottage as it exceeded our expectations.”

The cottage was to five star quality. The lovely touches like the flowers chocolate and Prosecco on arrival was really welcoming. The property was clean, well equipped kitchen, plenty of towels and beautiful ambiance. The owners were really welcoming , we had a mini tour around the farm and got to pet the baby calves . We loved the walks around the cottage and visited the lakes which is around a 40 mins drive . Loved getting up early to watch the cows being fed and the sheep dog do it’s thing ! Will defo go back and recommend it to friends and family . Thank you for an amazing break in a beautiful cottage.

- Ajitha, June 2021
Norman October 2020

“A lovely cottage in a great quiet location.”

Lot's of good fell walking in the area. Good facilities in Sedbergh although it is down a narrow lane. The only negative aspect was some loud music from the neighbour on 2 afternoons.

- Norman, October 2020
Hilary August 2020

“Riddings Barn is a modern, spacious and clean property with amazing views.”

It is very well equipped with many extras provided such as tea towels, hand soap, dishwasher tablets, kitchen towel etc. We were greeted with fresh flowers, milk, water and Prosecco and tea and coffee were provided. All the furnishings and fixtures are of excellent quality with very comfortable beds. Would highly recommend this property.

- Hilary, August 2020
Paula August 2020

Mohammad August 2020

“Amazing venue and hosts.”

- Mohammad, August 2020
Jane August 2020

“Ridding Barn is one of the best holiday rentals we have ever had the pleasure to holiday in.”

The barn is well equipped, the views when standing at the kitchen island are breathtaking. The beds are comfortable so you wake refreshed every morning. The owners who live and run a farm were very helpful. Don’t go the way the sat nav suggests the 6’6” bridge Is not for the faint hearted. Do take the advice of the owners!

- Jane, August 2020
Janet August 2020

“Our second visit to Riddings Barn and it didn't disappoint.”

Spotlessly clean (a high priority at the moment) with soap and cleaning materials provided. The property is well equipped with everything you'd need in the kitchen. Owner was friendly and helpful without imposing and the stunning location made for another memorable stay.

- Janet, August 2020
Karen July 2020

“This was a fabulous place to stay.”

We all loved it. Owners put out flowers and chocolates as welcome gift which was a lovely touch. They also let us take our little girl to see the baby calves and cows on the farm. Cleanliness was done to a high standard. Rooms were big and bed comfort was great! Standard of the whole place was outstanding. We will be going back there as we loved it that much.

- Karen, July 2020
Jana February 2020

“We really enjoyed the holiday .”

The house was very good! Everything was clean , sorted . The house has everything you need: pans ,plates, forks , glasses , movies , games . Everything! The view from house windows is the best ! The bbq was amazing . Thank you for lovely holiday !

- Jana, February 2020
Louise December 2019

“We all had a fantastic time at The Ridings.”

The house was beautiful with all the facilities we needed. The views were spectacular and there were some nice walks, however a little too far to walk to the village so good job we took everything we could possibly need. There was even welcome gifts which was a lovely touch. The narrow bridge on the way in was a little scary, tight squeeze but we made it! Only a couple of small things were the stools in the kitchen were too big for the breakfast bar so you couldn’t sit on them and the shower in the tv bedroom didn’t drain quickly and filled up within minutes but we managed! Great time had in a lovely house with great friends.

- Louise, December 2019
Lesley September 2019

“We thoroughly enjoyed being in the cottage.”

Everything was spotless. All of the facilities we needed for cooking, eating, recreation and sleeping were available. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms roomy, the bedding clean and modern. The single drawback, not the fault of the owners, was the width of the access lane for our rather large SUV's meeting oncoming traffic, especially tractors. Having said that, it was manageable and was without incident. Also recommended, the pies at the Dalesman in town!!!

- Lesley, September 2019
Shahid September 2019

“Lovely sceneries, very spacious and clean.”

Comfortable beds. Very helpful owner and welcoming.

- Shahid, September 2019
Sharon August 2019

“The best equipped holiday cottage I've ever stayed in”

- Sharon, August 2019
Catherine June 2019

“We were a group of five friends on a walking weekend.”

We loved the barn, as the four generous bedrooms could easily accomadate us. The kitchen was large and extremely well appointed with lots of oven and fridge space. There was also an efficient gas BBQ. But best of all we walked both days from the barn, which is always a treat. There were no really local shops or eating places, so we stayed put and made use of the kitchen and ate in, which was no hardship. Thank you Dawn.

- Catherine, June 2019
Fiona May 2019

“The property is lovely and situated in a beautiful location out in the countryside.”

It has all you need inside and extremely comfortable beds! The one thing we didn’t fully appreciate until getting there is the lack of garden apart from the area in front of the house where you park the car. One reviewer mentioned a field to play in but we didn’t find this.

- Fiona, May 2019
Ted May 2019

“All I can say is wow!”

........ beautiful barn conversion in the most idillic, picturesque setting. the owners couldn't be more welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. every think we needed and more, we wanted for nothing! bed where so comfy, immaculate clean, kitchen fulled kitted out and great outside seating. the cottage is set on a working farm with wonderful walks, and view, in easy reach of the Yorkshire dales and lake district. can't recommend this hidden gem enough.

- Ted, May 2019

Ian April 2019

“Lovely position albeit a long drive to the cottage however this did not trouble us as it was well worth it.”

Just a stunning peaceful location. One of the best cottages with have stayed with the range of facilities and kitchen equipment. Very warm and cosy.

- Ian, April 2019

It’s a fantastic location for those looking forward to getting away from it all. A thoroughly enjoyable week.

- Hilary, December 2018
Kirsty December 2018

“Riddings barn was fantastic, it was set amongst beautiful scenery and views of the fells.”

The winding narrow lanes made for a picturesque drive up to the property. The barn has been completed to a high standard and has 4 large bedrooms. The wine and chocolates on arrival were most appreciated. Dawn the owner was helpful and we have just returned from a fabulous family Christmas at this wonderful property.

- Kirsty, December 2018
Humera December 2018

“This was the first time me and my friends did anything like this and we honestly couldn’t have picked a better place.”

The place itself looked beautiful on the outside. As soon as we walked in it was SO warm and cosy. The living room was the perfect size, the kitchen was huge and had everything you could ever need to cook any meal! The bedrooms were so big and the beds were so comfy. We honestly didn’t want to leave. It was such a wonderful experience and we’d definitely recommend it to others. Thank you Riddings Barn!

Perfect in every way. The beds were also the best thing I have ever slept on in my life. Facilities were amazing, location was beautiful and the presentation of it in its entirety was flawless. Thank you so much for providing such an incredible experience. We will definitely be booking again!

Vic August 2018

“Really nice spacious barn conversion.”

Although mentioned in the bumph not to follow sat nav instructions they should be in bold and a larger font.... Thoroughly enjoyable stay.

- Vic, August 2018
Clare July 2018

“A great cottage in the middle of nowhere.”

Perfect for a family week away to recharge our batteries. A great base for Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Lake District. Plus the beds were sooooo comfortable.

- Clare, July 2018
Julia June 2018

“Fantastic location, not too far from two super national park areas.”

Beautiful home with just about everything you could ask for.

- Julia, June 2018
Simon May 2018

“A stunning property in a stunning location - felt privileged to be in it.”

More info could be useful for living In the property e.g. Recycling and what to do when leaving. One of the access roads is only 6'6" wide over stone walled bridge - take note drivers of wide cars there is no leeway. Road up from Sedbergh is fine though.

- Simon, May 2018
James May 2018

“The owner really thought of everything.”

The barn was stunning both in it's facilities and it's setting.

- James, May 2018
Julia March 2018

“We loved our experience at the barn, very well maintained and detailed.”

The only thing we'd add is that the description should maybe be a little clearer to explain that there is no real outside garden area other than the patio table and chairs. The photos give you an idea of the place, and certainly the description doesn't mention garden, but I think on reflection we'd not realised that there was no real garden space per se just views of the lovely landscape and although you could obviously walk, some families may want garden space as well. Which wasn't a problem but maybe needs to be spelt out.

- Julia, March 2018
Alison February 2018

“An excellently presented property in an idyllic location, well recommended as a getaway retreat in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside.”

However, there is one minor pitfall and that is the extremely narrow bridge leading to the property having come from the M6 motorway direction. the bridge is literally only 6' 6" wide meaning a normal sized car just fits through with a few inches to spare! We did find an alternative route turning left at the bottom of the lane leading directly into Sedbergh. Do not let the bridge of doom put you off, the place is simply superb.

- Alison, February 2018
John December 2017

“Really well equipped - comfortable and warm - thoughtful touches such as flowers / sparkling wine / chocolates waiting on arrival together with Christmas tree and decorations to complete the atmosphere for a New Years celebration.”

Michael July 2016

“The accommodation to was to an excellent and high standard.”

The area was lovely and the kids loved playing in the field. One of the best accommodations I have stayed in. Would definitely recommend

- Michael, July 2016
Christopher July 2016

“We liked the setting amid the Howgills velvety-green hills; the ever-changing lights, peace and near absence of other people on the hills.”

Also, the sheer quality and ingeniousness of the barn conversion. The owners were friendly and their farm is nearby, but they don't intrude.

- Christopher, July 2016
Michael May 2016

“Lovely barn conversion, keeping the old outside with a modern feel.”

Brilliant views and just an all round good place to stay to have a relaxing break.

We booked it for a surprise 60th for my husband so all the family gathered. There was loads of space all round, it was exceptionally well laid out throughout, and was very warm & comfortable. There were lots of lovely walks despite the rain! Would recommend this lovely quiet place to anyone!

- Lynn, January 2016
Melvyn October 2015

“Lots of space in the accommodation, very comfortable, fabulous location.”

The folder was excellent for information for usage of all electrical equipment, however we would have liked local information contained within the folder such as local doctors dentist etc and recycling information and possibly local restaurants. There was a wealth of information for visitor attractions in the wider area. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. The photos on the website do not do the property justice.

- Melvyn, October 2015
Dianne August 2015

The property

Sedbergh 3 miles. A stone-built barn conversion located on a traditional Westmorland farmstead, set in a peaceful location in the tiny hamlet of Howgill, in the Lune Valley, just three miles from the market town of Sedbergh.

Recently fully converted to an extremely high standard, this outstanding Sedbergh cottage provides first class holiday accommodation in a beautiful location.

One of our premier Cumbrian cottages, the conversion has been carried out to the highest specification with superb insulation and underfloor heating systems.

The modern styling and design at this cottage near Sedbergh is enhanced by the full-length glass windows extending over two floors which provide guests with far-reaching, inspiring views of the nearby fells.

The large modern kitchen and dining area provides a welcoming area to relax in after a long day exploring the many footpaths and bridleways of this wonderful walking area.

The main sitting room is spacious and comfortable, whilst the four bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities, provide great flexibility for any group.

This Cumbrian cottage is ideal for discovering Wainwright's beloved Howgills, the nearby Cautley Spout, Britain's highest waterfall, and dramatic Dentdale, while the local area is home to many varieties of wildlife including buzzards and deer.

With the Farfield Art and Heritage Centre, and the towns of Hawes, Kirkby Lonsdale, Bowness and Kendal all within easy reach, this lovely Sedbergh cottage provides an ideal base in which to relax, unwind and to get away from it all and enjoy the Cumbrian countryside.

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.
