About this property
Settled in the heart of Serbergh, Cumbria is this wonderful, mid-terrace holiday home, Piggy Bank Cottage. Enjoying a character, stone-built exterior and offering accommodation that is packed with charm, Piggy Bank Cottage is ideal for a family of four wanting to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. On arrival in Kings Court car park, park in space No 4. Continue inside your home-from-home to find a well-equipped kitchen/diner that enjoys contemporary fittings throughout, so you can cook and dine in style! Move across the ground floor to the cosy sitting room, where a realistic flame effect electric stove will give you extra warmth whilst you choose a film for all the family to enjoy on the Smart TV. As the day winds to a close, head upstairs to rest your head in the tastefully furnished king-size that enjoys exposed beams along with a Smart TV for extra entertainment; across the way rests the triple bunk room that is ideal for the kids. Completing the first floor is a sleek, family bathroom that provides the perfect moment of solace amongst the bubbles in its bath with shower over. A short walk will bring you to Sedbergh Main Street where you can pay its pubs, eateries and shops a visit, or you can venture to the nearby Fairfield Mill to view some lovely, local artwork. Sedbergh is a sanctuary for bibliophiles being an official book town with Westwood Books, Dales & Lakes Book Centre and Clutterbooks. Travel a short distance to Kendal, a town resting at the foothills of the Lake District and offering fascinating attractions, including Kendal Museum, Lakeland Museum and Kendwall, along with marvellous golfing opportunities. Travel towards the centre of the Yorkshire Dales National Park to find the market town of Hawes, home to the intriguing Dales Countryside Museum, and sits near walking trails to the Hardraw Force Waterfall, Aysgill Force and the Semer Water Nature Reserve. If you're a walking enthusiast, the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District offer a variety of peaks, including Dodd Fell Hill and Scafell Pike, or if you'd prefer to take part in some watersports, Ullswater, Derwentwater and Lake Windermere offer them in abundance. There is so much joy to be had at Piggy Bank Cottage!

Unfortunately it rained heavily most of the week we were there but that's the chance you take going so early in the year. One thing worth pointing out was that after opening the key box to access the door keys we were unable to close the box. After contacting Sykes the property owner rang us to tell us that you have to re-input the key box number before you can close the box. Worth knowing.

Comfy and cosy with a well equipped kitchen. Position is excellent, lovely courtyard setting right in the centre of Sedbergh. Plenty of walks straight from your door, handy parking space so you can park the car and leave it! Would recommend and would stay again.

Sedbergh is a fantastic base for hill walking with numerous walks starting from the town so no need to use the car, which we appreciated. The cottage was as described, comfortable, well appointed and spotless. The kitchen was well equiped, the wifi excellent and good tv connection. The shower is very good and the towels provided were big and fluffy. A minor annoyance was a faint motor or fan noise coming from the cupboard on the first floor landing. Maybe from the extraction from the bathroom? When we arrived, there was a dog/child gate between the kitchen and the living room. As we didn't want to operate it during our stay and we tripped a few times on it, we removed it for the duration of our stay. It is easily done and we put it back before leaving. Maybe a note about this could be added to the cottage information folder? Once again this is minor and did not distract from our overall enjoyment of the place and we appreciate that those gates might be very useful for guests with dogs and/or small children.
