Sedbergh Holiday Cottages

Sedbergh is a pretty, peaceful town surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales and close to the stunning Lake District. Enjoy a relaxing stay in England's book town with a stay in one of our Sedbergh self-catering holiday cottages.

Nuzzled at the base of Wainwright's beloved Howgills and with spectacular views in all directions, many people fall in love with Sedbergh before they even park up. Whilst the town is part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it sits over the border in Cumbria - it's a rural market town with a big personality. Packed full of fascinating places to explore, it is a hive of activity throughout the year. Its vast collection of independent bookshops, both second-hand and new, has led to Sedbergh's title as England's Book Town, and the town now hosts an annual book festival every October, as well as being a part of the Dales and Lakes Bookshop Trail.

A Sedbergh holiday cottage is the perfect base for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks with places like Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale in easy reach. Four-legged friends will love a walk in the surrounding Cumbrian countryside from a dog-friendly Sedbergh holiday home; choose from a stroll along the River Rawthay or a hike along the popular Dales Way. Other outdoor activities within easy reach of your Sedbergh accommodation include cycling up the Buttertubs Pass and tackling the Howgill Fells, a favourite of Alfred Wainwright.

Families visiting Sedbergh can enjoy an abundance of pleasant walks with lovely picnic spots and there are plenty of attractions to keep children entertained. Holme Farm is open to the public, offering visitors a chance to experience a traditional Dales working farm. As well as cuddling baby chicks and feeding young lambs, there are lots of excellent demonstrations throughout the year, including live sheepdog displays and sheep marking. Visitors can also enjoy refreshments in the delightful cafe and a stroll around the marked nature trail. When it comes to family days out, you're spoilt for choice with White Scar Caves, England's longest show cave, Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, home to rare Snow Leopards and a host of other enthralling creatures, and the Dales Countryside Museum, with excellent hands-on activities and a host of events and exhibitions, all an easy drive from Sedbergh. Take a look at our family-friendly Lake District cottages and start planning your next getaway to this beautiful part of the world.
