Howgill House

Great home in the centre of Sedbergh.

Loved that they provided travel cot, high chair and kids books, 2 parking spaces was handy and the shower was great! The home is super cosy, comfy beds and quiet nights even though a 30 second walk to a pub that serves gorgeous food. Sedbergh is a fab town with a river walk (TIP: you can do about a 20 minute walk with a sturdy buggy to the river, but the town is better for kids in carriers) field walks, a lovely welcoming book shop and cafes and pubs. I look forward to returning. Thank you

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this delightful, well thought out cottage.

Every consideration had been taken by the owners to ensure we had a comfortable stay, three generations. Sedbergh is such a warm and friendly place we will be returning ☺️

A beautiful location and a welcoming house.

We had a wonderful time. The kids were delighted to sleep in separate rooms and have their own TV and bathroom. It is equipped with everything you need, and you can find some games to play and spend time together in the evening.

Delightful cottage with very tasteful decor and high spec bathroom & ensuites.

Bedrooms very comfortable. Generously equipped kitchen area and a nice suprise to find a lovely welcome pack. Short walking distance to numerous pubs, cafes, pizza shop, tourist information and a few shops. Very picturesque area with plenty of walks around. Would definitely stay again.

We had a really lovely stay at this cottage and felt at home immediately.

All the previous positive feedback on Howgill House is well deserved, it was well equipped and beautifully designed. The location is perfect, set in a really friendly village with a relaxed feel to it. As a family we enjoyed the close proximity to “The Dalesman”, excellent food and a good wine selection. All in all, a great find. Comfortable, well placed and somewhere we would happily visit again. We highly recommend this cottage and thank the owners.

The house was great beautifully refurbished, very clean and wonderful bathrooms with plenty of hot water.

A couple of points and the only reason for a lower rating for comfort and facilities were the sofa was not big enough for 4, let alone 6 if we had filled the house. Also outside only 2 chairs and very small space. If we were being fussy could also do with a mirror in the double bedroom on the first floor. We had a great few days and would recommend the property.

The property was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable with beautiful accessories and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

It has recently been refurbished to a high standard which is evidenced by a lovely book provided by way of information. Very well equipped with numerous appliances including a TV in every bedroom. The main bathroom was very large with a separate walk-in shower. There was always plenty of hot water even with 5 adults staying. It is a very short walk into the town. There is lots of information provided about the history of the town and the owner's family. I would make only one suggestion and that is perhaps may be you could consider adding a docking station or CD player in the property.

We had a fantastic stay at Howgill House.

The cottage was cosy and welcoming, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a self‑catering holiday. The bathroom was especially luxurious, adding a touch of indulgence to the whole experience. It’s the perfect place to relax, and we’d happily return.

First class accommodation in excellent location for exploring the Western Dale's and Lake District.

Lovely well appointed cottage in a quiet location.

The owners appear to have thought of everything. Good base for exploring the Dales and Lakes. 66 steps to the Dalesman Inn for excellent food and a good choice of drinks.

Fantastic location and an amazing house.

We would definitely stay at Howgill again in the future

Really well appointed house, close to all amenities.

Everything you needed was there although operating the oven/hob did take some reading of the instruction manual!

The cottage was just perfect.

It has been beautifully and professionally updated with everything you could need for a holiday in The Dales. We will definitely be back!

A truly beautiful property which has been upgraded to the highest of standards.

The photo-book in the sitting room illustrates the extent of the work undertaken. The house is warm, cosy, comfortable and has all the facilities you could need for the most perfect break. Situated a hop and a skip from the facilities of the village centre, it could not be more ideally placed. A wonderful property which we would love to return to.

It’s a lovely property, really beautifully restored - and we appreciated the goodies on arrival.

It’s right on the door step of a couple of great pubs (the Dalesman - fantastic food - and the Thirsty Rambler, both a stones throw away). You can also go on some great walks, straight from the back door. It really is in a fantastic location. We went as a family of 4 - I’d say the living area is more suited to 2 people. Kitchen was well equipped. While the bedrooms are lovely, there’s only a few coat hangers and drawers in side tables for your clothes so more suitable for a weekend break (for our group). Although we just left most of our stuff in the cases so that was fine. Beds were soft and bedding was very warm, some of us liked that and some of us didn’t. Bathrooms are beautiful especially the one on the first floor, which felt very luxurious, and the radox was a nice touch. Overall a great cottage in a lovely area.

Fabulous cottage with everything you would ever need, home from home, extremely comfortable and right in centre of Sedbergh.

Always lovely to see a property being saved, renovated and this has clearly been done with love with family ties. Plenty choice to eat out and on doorstep. The only slight issue we had was operating the induction hob and oven on the 1 night we ate in. We couldn't find the instructions but this was quickly resolved after finding the instructions on the Internet. Maybe a replacement copy might help future guests.

Everything we needed.

Great location. Parking. Lots of walks without needing to move the car. Good road links to wider area. Nearby pubs, food and shops. Beautiful Sedbergh and the cottage was gorgeous. A fantastic renovation.

Second stay here & it’s fabulous!

Called Sykes as we needed a very last minute stay & they were amazing to organise this for us within less than 24 hours, thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay in sedbergh and loved Howgill House and its proximity to the main street.

The cottage was very modern, comfortable and clean. We had a few issues when trying to heat the living room (underfloor heating) Due to chronic lung issues, we could not risk using the log burner. An anti slip mat was required in the upstairs ensuite shower.

Beautifully renovated cottage with excellent facilities.

Very comfortable stay in a lovely part of the country

Just an all round fantastic stay in a cottage that felt cosy and luxurious.

Had all the amenities and plenty of room for a party of six. Hosts were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely recommend this to anyone and will come back again.

Fantastic property, we rent a cottage in sedbergh 2-3 times a month & this is one of if not the best we have stayed in.

Great location, house is beautiful & modern

We (my daughter and myself) had a lovely week long stay at the house and it was so nice to be staying at somewhere that felt so homely and welcoming.

Furnished and finished really well with all conveniences catered for we throughly enjoyed our stay. Information about the house itself was clear and all the additional local area detail, including local walk maps was a nice touch. Communication with the owner was great and we would very happily return again. Highly recommended.

This is one of the best Sykes holiday cottages that we have rented.

We appreciated the care shown by the inclusion of a welcome pack, especially the Radox, and the thoughtful guidebooks and instruction manuals. We will definitely be recommending the property to friends and family.

Everything was perfect for our visit thank you, we couldn’t have asked for more.

The accommodation was to a high standard & well thought out for visitors wants & needs, down to the little touches of a welcome basket of cake, biscuits, milk & more. Communication response was quick & friendly, by return. We look forward to our next stay! Thank you again!

Lovely house in a great location, cosy and quiet.

Beautifully presented. Sedbergh itself a lovely place. A few practical suggestions to make it even better: 1. Lounge TV was too complicated to use. In part, this comes with the advent of subscription services but this one is something else. Unable to access Sky and Netflix (previous occupier had not logged out), Freeview (other than BBC3!) and even any Terrestrial. Something called "LG App" had to be got past to get what we eventually did, BBC iPlayer. 2. Oven too complicated to use. Someone had hand-written in additional instructions but these did not provide the answer. The manual is badly-transcribed into English. Eventually we worked it out. 3. Skylight windows (Velux) MUST have blinds. Most people want to sleep a full night in the dark. A decent lettings agency has to inform a property owner to "Keep the tech. simple" and "Sleep requires quiet, warmth, a comfortable bed/bedding and darkness".
