“Pine cottage is a delightful little holiday getaway in a lovely location, to visit/walk in this amazing countryside.”
It is set around a small cobbled courtyard, approached by a walkway off the main street (need to bump car onto pavement to unload, but that's no problem, and park under 5 minutes walk away).
The cottage was very clean and comfortable, tastefully decorated and furnished (loved the painting of the cows face on the landing) and well equipped and there's bags of hot water for showers etc.
The first two floors have central heating and the ground floor has under floor heating which takes the chill off of the flag stone floor, but the wood burning stove, easy to light and clean, makes it as warm as toast in the evenings (logs from local Spar or the hardware shop opposite the information centre)
Sedbergh is a smashing little town, with friendly people, craft shops and galleries and lots of nice eateries. The Red Lion pub, very friendly, food great and reasonably priced and a great little bar, The Thirsty Rambler, has opened about 10 steps away, highly recommended.
As the walkway to the cottage opens on to the main street, if you have a lively dog that does its own thing, best to keep on a lead when leaving the cottage. Luckily ours sticks to us like Velcro.
We were a bit confused about the rubbish bins and recycling, but did our best to follow the instructions in the information pack.
A couple of things we felt might enhance visitors stay would be a small radio for news/music (as the TV has Netflix etc and us 'oldies' are Luddites with technology), a small washing up bowl (saves on hot water) and a visitors book for visitors to sign and add comments).
Next time we make the drive from London to Westmoreland, we would definitely consider staying at Pine cottage. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're glad that you had a great stay and enjoyed the cottage. Thank you also for the tips for improvements -great ideas. Hannah
