Bluebell is a delightful holiday cottage, sleeping two guests, located near Sedbergh in Cumbria. Surrounded by glorious countryside, this luxurious holiday cottage is full of character and sits in a picturesque wooded valley overlooking the Howgill Fells.
One of the greatest pleasures of staying in this beautiful cottage is being able to set off by foot from the front door and explore the area. Whatever the weather, there are wonderful walks to suit all energy levels from a gentle stroll along the river to a more challenging walk up into the high fells.
The surrounding mountain scenery is spectacular with woods, meadows, fells and a rushing river. Wild flowers flourish and the area is a haven for wildlife with deer, peregrines, otters, badgers and many rare birds.
The attractive Dales market town of Sedbergh is nearby and is full of character with its cobbled streets and historic houses. Recently becoming one of England's ʻbook towns' there are interesting places to browse including several antique shops. Dent is a pretty Cumbrian village, also nearby, with cobbled streets, traditional pubs and interesting art galleries. A visit to Kirkby Lonsdale is not to be missed. Touristy but unspoilt, this beautiful, small market town offers fascinating shops, excellent places to eat, glorious river-side walks and an ancient church.
