  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.

  Wow! Thank you so much Chris and Sally (and Florence!

  ) What a fantastic place! We came as our extended family for a week to celebrate my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary. Oakdene was perfect for us all despite the huge age range - 4 and 9 to 84 and 87! Oakdene is a fabulous house, beautifully fitted out. Very tastefully decorated and super comfortable sofas and beds. Not only did the bedrooms work brilliantly for us - and they are all of an equally high standard which was great so no-one felt they were being short changed, and three bedrooms were on the ground floor which my father appreciated - but the living space was also excellent which is not always the case. We could all 21 of us eat comfortably together. We could also all hang out in the lounge together - or spread out into the morning room, cinema room, snooker room, kitchen dining room or the various outdoor spaces, the hot tubs being a favourite!! And the setting is just stunning! What amazing views from the house and grounds, sunsets from the lounge and dining room and patio and on a clear night the starry sky was unlike anything we have seen for some time! Fairfield Mill just 100 yards away is a bonus with tea room and 3 floors of beautiful arts and crafts and artist studios. And of course the Yorkshire Dales are simply beautiful, as is the Lake District close by. It was hard to leave at the end of the week! All 21 of us would have no hesitation in highly recommending Oakdene Country House. And as hosts, Chris and Sally were exceptionally friendly and helpful, promptly dealing with any requests or issues. Thank you so much! It was so wonderful!!

  What a gem!

  This was a superb property for 10 adults and 10 children for a week's family holiday. it's possibly the best equipped self-catering accommodation we've ever had. It has been beautifully decorated and sympathetically upgraded and tastefully furnished, and is extremely comfortable. The kitchen is fantastic, with two quite astonishing induction hobs. Cooking for 20 was a breeze (we tended to do 10 kids first and 10 adults a bit later), and there is ample fridge and freezer space. The two full sized wine coolers can be used for all wine, beer and soft drinks freeing up fridge space for groceries. The bedrooms are all comfortable with lovely en suite bathrooms. Add in a full-sized snooker table, tabel football, two high tech hot tubs, and a TV room with an up-to-date 4K 65 inch TV and you'll barely every want to go out! However when you do, the surrounding countryside is well worth it and the nearby mill's tearoom serves great cakes. The views across fields to the hills are truly lovely. Improvements? Tricky! The only thing we thought we needed and didn't have was an icecream scoop. Some outdoor games equipment for children would add to the enjoyment perhaps. A big thank you to Chris and Sally (for whom nothing was too much trouble) for providing such a fantastic property. We hope to return next year, as it's hard to imagine finding somewhere better for a family like ours.

  My friends and my partner and I had the best time at Oakdene Country House at the weekend just gone.

  I arranged a surprise 40th get together with friends for my partner and he absolutely loved it. The house is huge, stunning and spotless, most beds were superking and so comfy. The views were incredible and you could relax in the hotubs, looking out at the beautiful surroundings. There were so many gorgeous little lambs in the fields around us as well as rabbits, so next time I'll definitely have to bring the kids. They would have loved it!! There is a lovely pub we visited just a short walk away, where we had a lovely meal. Chris and Sally (the owners) are both so lovely and couldn't be more helpful, even before we got there they were on hand to answer any questions, Chris met us there on arrival and ran through everything with us and then they both came to say goodbye at the end of our stay. Their little girl is just adorable too. This has honestly been the best weekend away we've ever had and we will definitely be back, I honestly can't rate Chris and Sally enough or their beautiful country house. If I could give more than 5 stars I definitely would. Thank you both so much for everything and we will see you again soon I'm sure. Cat, Steve and the rest of the group.
