  I had a lovely stay at Pine Cottage.

  The cottage has all the facilities you need. The bed in the main room was very comfortable and the bedroom decoration was light and fresh. The shower pressure was just perfect and there were lots of towels available. I had great weather so didn’t get to utilise the fire, but you have everything you need if you want the fire on. The kitchen has all the necessities, kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, oven, plates, mugs, cutlery etc. There is a nice selection of books available in the living room and the high street has a borrow a book service too. The cottage is suitable for a dog, but as downstairs is quite snug I’d say a medium dog. You’d need to be careful letting the dog out in the courtyard as the alley way leads directly to the high street so they could make a run for it! There is a field behind the high street which is great for letting a dog off for a run around. To find the cottage is quite simple, once you are in the main high street, look for the pink house and there is a white semi circle painted on the ground where you can quickly park up and unload. To the left of the pink house is a little alley way which leads to a small court yard and the cottage is on your left. There is a parking permit in the house for Joss Lane just up the road which is really handy. If you’re looking to eat locally, the Dalesman isn’t suitable for dogs but the Black Bull and Red Lion is, and the shops allow you to take a dog in. I had two lovely meals in the Red Lion. Delicious food, reasonably priced and Hannah’s customer service can’t be faulted. The Haddock Paddock is a good chip shop, but you might need to plan when you’re going as they only open for two hours in the evening. The cottage is about 20-25 minutes from Kendal and 40-45 minutes from Ambleside. There are buses that run to Kendal and a good local taxi service is On Time Taxis. All in all, I had a lovely stay and would be back again in a heartbeat.

  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.

  Spent 4 nights here.

  Excellent base for visiting the Lakes, and found Sedbergh a lovely place too! Couple of things stand out - firstly the communication with the owner was fantastic. We were sent a photo of where to find Pine Cottage, as it can be tricky to find. I get why others had difficulty, my top tip would be when you see the pink house, park on the pavement right outside it and unpack the car there - the Cottage is up the lane! The Cottage itself was immaculate and a very comfortable place to stay. We had read the previous reviews and would like to point out that the owners have addressed every single comment made. It now has blinds, a pizza cutter, new towels - they really do act on the feedback they receive. There is also a smart Tv with Freesat and a hairdryer in the bedroom drawer unit - and the shower is great!! We parked in the Joss Lane car park each night, as the owners have paid for a permit you can use, very thoughtful, as street parking is at a premium in the village. It was a 3 minute walk along the street, and a lovely walk past the shops. (If you’re looking for a packed lunch ‘On a Roll’ does delicious baguettes!)!We didn’t light he fire, as our visit was during the great spell of weather, but we wanted to, just to experience the log fire going. Next time! This was a fab base for our holiday, we would happily have stayed longer. Thank you, Hannah and Barney!

  We had a fantastic 5 night stay in Pine Cottage.

  It was nicely furnished, extremely clean and had nearly everything you would need for a short break away from home. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything apart from a washing machine, but that shouldn’t be a problem for a short holiday. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a lovely long bath which was great for easing aches and pains after days out walking the many country walks on offer. A shelf below the bathroom mirror would be useful for makeup, jewellery, spectacles etc. The underfloor heating was a welcome bonus and there was separate heating for the upstairs, so we didn’t need to use the log burner although it was very tempting. The information pack provided by the owners was very good and the parking permit came in useful as we parked our car in the Joss Lane car park. There are a few pubs, eateries and takeaway’s near to the cottage but they are not all open every day, so this needs to be taken into account when planning. There is also a Spar not far from the property if you want to cook something yourself or get some supplies. Sedbergh is a lovely village and it’s also a good base for visiting Kendal, Hawes and other tourist attractions in the area. We would definitely recommend Pine Cottage for a short break

  Pine cottage is a delightful small but comfortable cottage in the centre of Sedbergh .

  The access on foot from the town centre is literally two minutes and the range of good pubs, restaurants and a few shops make it an excellent place to stay. There are plenty of good walks from the door, or a little further afield in this beautiful part of south Lakeland and the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage was very clean, it has all basic equipment you need, and the beds are very comfortable. The decor and furnishings are tasteful and good quality, while a wood burner in the sitting room makes it cosy on cooler days. Parking is easy in adjoining streets or in the car parks where the owners have provided a parking permit. The Wi-Fi in the cottage is good. The addition of a microwave would enhance the facilities in the kitchen, as there is only a cooker, hob and undercounter fridge provided, but two people can easily manage to self cater or eat out in the many cafes and pubs in the locality. To find the cottage be sure to look for the passage next to the pink house on the High Street, where the pavement is wide enough and has a white line semi-circle to pull your car on, in order to off-load your luggage. We enjoyed our stay in Pine Cottage and would be happy to return on future occasions to stay in this cosy and interesting traditional cottage.
