Sandbed Cottage sits amid the Howgill Fells near Sedbergh in Cumbria, a stone-built self-catering cottage sleeping up to four. Inside you'll find exposed beams, a log burner and a fully equipped kitchen with a stone window sill overlooking bird feeders, where native red squirrels are frequent visitors. French doors lead to a patio and gardens with panoramic views of the surrounding fells, perfect for morning coffee or an evening drink. Walking starts right on the doorstep across the gentler Howgill terrain, with further routes in the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District close by. The scenic Settle-Carlisle Railway is just a few miles away, and nearby towns such as Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh offer plenty to see and places to eat. Off-road parking for two cars and a warm welcome for dogs complete the picture.
