Knott View, Sedbergh

This cottage was the perfect choice for us. We were wanting a week of peace and quiet to recharge our batteries and were not disappointed! The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Fabulous views from the cottage. We were able to visit some of our favourite places. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Ideal location to appreciate planet earth in its splendours. Very relaxing surrounding and a thorough view of the Dale fron your window at breakfast. Clean cottage with all facilities and very friendly owners. Highly recommended to everyone.

Lovely stay , Liky and Alan were so friendly and attended to any request promptly to ensure our stay was comfortable. Beautiful views that cannot be beaten . the cottage was clean and beds comfortable.. Our children loved the dogs and the local villege of sedburgh is a short drive away and known as a book town. We have already booked to come back with friends!

Stayed at Knott View as part of a group to celebrate a friend's birthday. We wanted a retreat away from it all where we could spend some quality time together, and it fit the bill perfectly! Everything we needed was available, the setting is just gorgeous and we were even treated to snow! Will definitely stay again.

What can I say? Knott view was perfect for our long weekend stay for walking and exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Close to Cautley spout and surrounded by absolutely breathtaking views, Birks Farm is the ideal location for any keen walker, or those just looking to get away to the countryside. Knott had everything we needed for our stay; spotlessly clean and tidy, Knott View had a real homely feel. Lilly and Alan were so very welcoming, and it was lovely to stay on a working farm, seeing all the lambs in the field, watching the turkeys pottering round the yard, or just spending some time with their two sheepdogs. Knott was the perfect size for our family, but, having been shown around Brant and the newly refurbished Lodge on site, I absolutely would recommend any three of Lilly and Alans holiday lets for a stay. Will definitely be back soon! Highly recommended all round, and a thoroughly enjoyable break.

Beautiful location with fabulous views of the Howgills. Clean and comfortable cottage everything we needed, loved the sheep dogs on the farm just what we needed to de-stress. Will be booking later on in the year when the lambs arrive

My second time back at Knott View cottage and it was just as good as my previous visit! Stayed with a friend for 2 weeks and would definitely go back. The cottage was clean, homely and well-equipped for self-catering. The owners were very friendly and helpful with any queries we had. There are stunning views of the Yorkshire Dales and beautiful walks to enjoy the wildlife and lambs at lambing time! We would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing escape!

We stayed here with a couple of friends, what a dump, No heating only oil heaters that you had to move around, the most dirtiest baked on food on all the saucepans and frying pan. The dead spiders and flies had been on floor for a long time. We like dogs but do not want them barking for the whole of your holiday. We saw dead sheep and carcass everytime we drove out of the cottage. I am not sure of the previous reviews BUT they do not sound like it was the same cottage.

This is an excellent cottage with views to die for. The owners are friendly. This is a five star accommodation.

We loved everything from the accommodation, walks, location,trips out & weather. We had the most wonderful week staying at Knott view surrounded by breathtaking scenery. There are beautiful walks locally around the farm & a lovely walk up to Cautley spout with breathtaking views. The lakes were an hours drive & well worth a visit. The owners were wonderful hosts & never too busy to stop for a chat. We will be going back for 2 weeks next year. I can't recommend this cottage & location enough.

The views from the cottage were amazing! When you look out of the bedroom windows there is a lovely view of green hills. The cottage was clean and comfortable. There were plenty of things to do within a short distance. The owner was very friendly and informative.

Knott view is such an amazing cottage, with surroundings to take your breath away. Cannot wait to book again.

A great little cottage in a brilliant location. The kids enjoyed playing with the dogs on the farm and there was lots to do with kids within a 45min drive. Walks can done from the cottage in beautiful countryside.

Lovely cottage in the middle of stunning countryside..Went with two 5yr olds and there was plenty of things to go to within a 45min drive of the cottage. Also walks in the surrounding area can be done from the front door of the cottage. The farm itself was child friendly, the kids particularly loved playing with the dogs. We are planning to go back again next year.

Very pleasant owner and lovely views from a warm and cosy cottage in a very scenic part of England. We had fantastic weather which allowed us to explore the Dales and the Lake District.

What a fabulous cottage! The perfect place for a relaxing and restful break. The location was stunning with fabulous views from every window. The owners were so kind and helpful with any queries that we had. We had some fantastic trips out with our children as there are lots of places to visit nearby. We will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely accommodation and amazing surroundings.

Warm welcome from the owners.

Our hosts made us feel so welcomed that we felt we had known them for years. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The cottage was so cosy and had all the little extras supplied that you would not expect. The situation of the cottage was so peaceful. This was a perfect and unforgettable holiday.

This holiday was different from what we normally do,but it was fantastic. We went with our son and daughter in law. What a lovely clean,comfortable,cottage,and Lily and Alan the owners were very friendly and obliging. We visited loads of the attractions in the area,and what beautiful countryside it is. The views from the cottage were beautiful as well. We can,t sign off without a mention of Benny,Jess and Pip.the lovely 3 collin dogs. We would recommend this place to anyone. Maggie and Vince and Kev. and Ali.

It is one of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had, there was great facilities, really kind and nice owners, and the cottage is in the best place depending on if you want to go to the lake district or the Yorkshire dales its absolutely fantastic.

Lovely quiet and peaceful setting with stunning vistas. On a working farm, the new born lambs are a delight. Spent hours playing with the 3 border collies. The owners delightful and situated so centrally for the Lakes or Dales. I would highly recommend and will return again.

The whole holiday was wonderful.The hosts and the accommodation were in our opinion brilliant . This is certainly a place that we will be recommending to people and as a place to visit again.

I would without a doubt highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing, enjoyable get away to stay in this modern, yet traditional barn conversion ( with views to die for.) The accomadation is conceniently situated between the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Lake District.Me and my family managed to fit in several visitations which was only made possible b the owners of the holiday cottages as they supplied the cottage with many booklets and leaflets on recommeneded, top notch places to go! Although we visited many local places, we did enjoy staying on the farm as there was 3 very friendly, entertaining sheepdogs keen to play and entertain ou young children! There was also hens and turkeys roaming around, plus lots of gambling lambs! Our children really did get a look into what a traditional farm is like and they absoloutley loved it! We stayed for a week, me, my wife and our two kids and not one of us wanted to leave! The bedrooms were clean, modern and well equiped with all the necessities! The bathroom, kitchen, living room and dining room were all lovely! On a whole, the holiday cottage was a delightful place to stay and so was the other holiday cottage which was next door!The holiday cottage is surrounded by breath taking views and i recomend the cottages to anyone, families, couples, large goups of friends, anyone! We shall hope to go back next year as it is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.

We stayed here with our young children in February for 5 days. It is the perfect base for lots of scenic family walks. The owners were really friendly and helpful. Our children loved playing with their friendly dogs any time they could. We didn't want to leave and will definitely stay there again in the future.

Knott View is the perfect cottage for visiting the Dales/Lakes. Alan and Lily are great hosts. The cottage is comfy and has everything you need for a great holiday.

It was fantastic. Very nice owners, great accomodation and the view was great!! The house had everyting you need, a well equiped kitchen and very nice beds. Bedlinnen and towels are included and there is a washingmachine (and dryer) Nearby are the shops and in the cottage are a lot of brochures and maps of things to do. And there is a lot to do and to see. It is not far from the Lake District and James Herriot "country" I think I will come back again.

My wife and I had a great week. The location was very good. The accommodation was very good, clean and tidy. The owners were very helpful, and nothing was to much trouble for them. I would recommend to everybody.

This holiday was a rest bite for us. It was lovely, peaceful, and the views were breath taking. The owners were so nice, and nothing was too much trouble, they are very friendly and caring people. We will definitely go back again with our friends and family, and will recommend this cottage to our fellow friends.

The view was fantastic and the owners were very kind. Thanks to the man who looked after the sheep, I have made great photo's. I loved it and had a fantastic time.

The Cottage was perfect for a family of four. The location was central thus making travel to all areas very accessible. The views from the cottage were beautiful and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The Owners made us feel so welcome and could not do enough for us to make our holiday really special. We would recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking for a peaceful holiday with that personal touch. We would not hesitate to go back for our next holiday as there is so much more to see and do.

The property was in an absolutely beautiful location, perfect for a 'getting away from it all' break. It was also very well situated being midway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Very comfortable bed, and extremely clean everywhere.

The owners are very friendly and helpful, comfortable accommodation with lovely views

Lovely and quiet, peaceful place for a holiday with lots to see nearby.

The location of the property was so quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very friendly without being intrusive, and it was lovely to have the owners on site.

The cottage is warm, clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The owners (and dogs) are very welcoming and helpful and the views are really beautiful. This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in. There is more to see and do in this area than we could fit into one week, so we will just have to come back again!

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in, well equipped, cosy and comfortable with beautiful views. The owners (and dogs!) are very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. A week was not enough time to see everything this area has to offer so we'll definitely come back here again!

The views from the cottage, the quiet environment, having rather spectacular walks and historic buildings just nearby. The local town is utterly delightful and the hosts were so friendly and helpful. We felt it was an 'effortless holiday'.

A comfortable cottage with lovely views; great for visiting the Howgill Fells and Sedbergh. Lovely views. Friendly owners and sheepdogs!

The cottage is easy to find, even in the dark and on a rainy night! Yes, up a private hill and what a view! It is a great place to stay if you want to reach the Lakes and the Dales at equal driving distance. The cottage is very well kept and the surroundings are safe for young teenagers, even to play (with the very friendly dogs).

The property and the surroundings were excellent. Very quiet and peaceful.

It was peaceful and quiet and the dogs kept us entertained in the evening.

It was in a lovely location and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. I would most definitely stay there again.

The location is wonderful, lovely hosts too. Amazing views, very quiet and there are nice eating places nearby.

Absolutely beautiful cottage and surroundings. Really friendly owners. Would advice anyone to go if your wanting a nice quiet holiday.

Knotts view was tucked away up a long drive off of a main road. It was surrounded by beautiful countryside.The cottage was warm and well maintained and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasurable one.We was well placed to visit the Lake district and Yorkshire. We had a fantastic stay there and would recommend Knotts view to anyone wanting a quiet stay in the country or for easy reach of the Lake district and Dales.The owners were really helpful and welcoming too.

Well Sykes have done it again - I am not sure how many of their properties we have stayed in, but they have never failed to achieve expectations. The cottage was excellent, situated within easy reach of North Yorkshire and the Lake District. Sedburg was close by with good eating places and a small supermarket. We spent time looking in all the bookshops in Sedburg and exploring the surrounding area. Ingleton Falls and Dent are interesting places to visit. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. I'm sure we will be back!

Lovely cosy cottage in a great location, with walking from the door and fabulous views of the Howgills. Owners very friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

It was an absolute pleasure staying at Knott View and was everything and more I could have hoped for. The owners where very helpful in giving us information on the area and seeing to anything we may have needed. I cannot praise our stay high enough and my one regret is that we weren't there longer.

The position of the cottage was good for visiting both North Yorkshire and also the Lake District. It was clean and tidy with everything that we needed. The owners of the cottage were really helpful and welcoming. The view from the cottage was stunning!

Excellent spot to visit either the Lakes or the Dales.

Great place to relax; very peaceful.

The location is perfect for visiting the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes District. Highly recommended place to stay. Hosts were welcoming, the cottage was quiet, clean and well equipped.

We received a warm welcome as soon as we arrived and were shown around both lovely cottages by the friendly owner. The smaller cottage is great for small families and the larger of the two is large enough to accomodate the whole party for meals and getting together if, like us, you take both cottages. There are excellent walks around Sedburgh and Kendal is only a 30 minutes drive away. Bookworms will enjoy a visit to the Town of Sedburgh which has many specialist bookshops. These cottages are both super places from which to explore this beautiful part of the world.

Quiet, peaceful location.

There was a front patio which was lovely for relaxing, with the beautiful countryside to look at. Everything was as hoped for and the property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Excellent base for touring the Lakes and walks. Excellent also for staying in on rainy days as there was the pool table and stunning views.

We received a lovely warm welcome and was made to feel really at home. The cottage was in a great location for visiting both the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. Fantastic views and was a great introduction to the north of England.

The location was excellent. The immediate setting gave wonderful views of the surrounding fells and as a base it was ideal for The Lakes and Dales. It was set away from any main road yet was easily accessible. It was peaceful and relaxing.

Very nice cottage, friendly owners too.

A quiet and beautiful location. A nice position for touring both the Lake District and The Yorkshire Dales.

Beautiful countryside, comfortable home, great hosts.

A good central location for visiting areas of interest both local and further afield, such as south lakes. Excellent for walking. Local people in Sedburgh friendly and helpful.

Brilliant setting. Beautiful views from the windows. Good walks of all grades available direct from the front door. Really friendly hosts, learnt lots about farming from them, and they suggested walks to do.

Relaxed, friendly and helpful hosts. Fantastic location and scenery. Ammenities within reach. Good facilities for walkers with utility/drying room.

We had a great week at Knott View despite being snowed in for three days. The owner was most helpful & brought us in some milk when we could not get to a shop. Best thing was the position, fantastic views in the snow. But everything about it was great.

Spectacular views and scenery. Dalesman pub serves excellent pub grub.

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Excellent property in excellent surroundings.

We very much enjoyed the location and the views, the friendliness of the owners and their dogs, the peace and quiet. The countryside was so beautiful we all went out and bought walking boots.

Fantastic views & peaceful location. Within easy driving distance of many local attractions and local towns and the lakes; Kendal, Keswick etc., & Ullswater (probably the most beautiful lake in the UK!). A great place to relax and do your own thing.

The property had great views of a truly spectacular and unspoilt part of the Yorkshire Dales - Sedburgh and the Howgill Hills are a must which is often a neglected part of the dales

This was a great property for visiting the Lakes to the West and the Dales to the East. The countryside round about was very beautiful too. A climb up nearby Cautley Spout was probably the highlight. The owners were very friendly and welcoming.

The location of the property is ideal for travelling around the area. There is ample opportunity for walking or just enjoying the countryside. Lots of places of interest in easy reach of the cottage. Also, the fishing was more than satisfactory. The views from the cottage and the scenery are stunning. The owners were very friendly and helpful, without being intrusive.
