An amazing property in a great location right near the high street. The property has had a lot of love put into it to make it feel as homely as possible.
Nothing to dislike other than we couldn’t get the oven to work - but this wasn’t an issue as we ate out/ used the hob when needed.

Gorgeous old cottage, right in the muddle of the village. Nicely decorated and not too sparse like some places can be. Comprehensive instructions book with all the info you could need. Comfy beds. Well kitted out kitchen. Very clean.

The Folly was perfect. We arrived tired after hiking on the Dales Way for 4 days. We chose Sedbergh and Folly to stay for 2 nights to relax and recoup. The Folly is very comfortable. It is right in the middle of everything. It was clean, comfortable, and a cool little space. Everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed grabbing dinner at the Haddock Paddock next door.
Everything was excellent. There is a washer/dryer. We washed a load. I am not so sure about English dryers, but they do not seem to actually dry clothes - they mostly just jumble around some wet clothes for a while. I don't think this is any fault of Folly or the homeowners. I recommend not trying to do a load of laundry if it isn't sunny with plenty of time to hang out your laundry.

Fabulous facilities thoughtfully accommodated in such a small space. Everything you could need and more. Sedbergh is a unique town and this house is part of its history..
All access details and facilities were provided prior to our arrival.
We loved everything about this unique little cottage. We are frequent visitors to this area and will look for this accommodation for a return visit.

Such a quirky cottage right in the middle of Sedbergh close by to all local shops, pubs and some walking paths so we could enjoy dog walks. Owner was so helpful in giving plenty of information before our arrival. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our stay.
Only slight issue was it was a cooler house even in the hot weather and one of the bedrooms is opposite the front door so there was a draught anytime the bedroom door opened. We just layered our baby a little more of an evening to prevent any chills.

this is such a lovely place. I've stayed twice with my partner and both times have been amazing. Comfy beds, well stocked, decorated so nicely. Loved it! And the chippy nearby is the best chippy I've ever had haha. We drove from here to lake Windermere for a day out and it was a lovely drive. It was just a really really lovely stay.
Absolutely nothing.

8.0 / 10.0
Lovely quirky little property over 3 floors
Very well equipped kitchen and cosy lounge.
Comfy mattresses. Lovely shower.
Very central location, Sedberg is gorgeous.
Free parking available nearby.
Pillows uncomfortable. Either flat, hard or lumpy.
No enclosed garden or yard for dogs.
Extra charge of £25 if your dog stays which is
quite expensive. I’m fairly certain that our dog
staying did not create any extra cleaning
than had it just been us there. Whilst I
understand this may not be the case for all
dogs, maybe this charge should be refundable
if no extra cleaning is required.

Lovely village , good location for travel
Sadly I cannot give this property a good rating, it was not big enough for 5 people , the one bed was on the floor and very awkward to get into
Layout upside down with kitchen / living upstairs
Very cluttered inside, dark as some light bulbs not working, no handsoap provided in bathroom, only 1 toilet roll for 5 for two nights. I have previously been so spoilt in cottages I was not happy there was so little starter provisions, a little something in the fridge after a long day would really be appreciated.
Advertised as a pet friendly property, this is certainly not suitable for dogs, no space, carpet floors, they were not clean either under the rugs. Then I was told there was more to pay for dogs after I had booked it, would have gone elsewhere at that price, this should be included in the price on booking .com,
Could be good for a couple but definitely not good for a family

We loved the location and found many little gems.
We didn't like leaving, wanted to stay.

Self catering. Close to town centre and nearby restaurants. Beautiful area with wonderful walks and river swimming. Central for The Lake district and the Yorkshire Dales, Interesting cottage with upstairs living area and bedrooms down stairs
We could have stayed much longer!

Fantastic location :0)
The cottage is beautifully decorated and has all you need for your stay. Parking is available at no extra cost very close to The Folly. The host was extremely helpful from the very start and helped with our booking as we had experienced some problems with extending our booking on the internet. Madeleine was just leaving the cottage when we arrived and so was able to give us the keys personally and have a chat which was lovely. She is very helpful and nothing is too much bother to aid you with a wonderful break.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this delightful cottage with such a lovely host :0)
We would recommend the local Italian for eating.
I can't really add anything to this section as we had no issues with our stay here.

The cottage was comfortable and warm with all things provided for our stay. Very central and car park permit provided for one car. Car park was a stone's throw from the cottage. The location was quiet even though The Folly is a connecting lane.
Perhaps a sheet explaining where things are to be found and how things work would save time on arrival

Lovely cottage with all the facilities and commodities for staying with friends or family. Location is great, right on the middle of the town and close to both Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
Amazing house decoration.
Great quality considering the price per night.
