  • Fantastic location and accommodation for our family to go exploring. We had a great stay.

    Andrew, Edinburgh

  • This cottage is a gem! Wonderfully restored with an eye for detail. We loved every minute staying in this house. We will return here again.

    Alexis, Netherlands

  • We had a fabulous stay, Ridge House was amazing and we couldn't have asked for more. Views were stunning and great location near Cautley Spout. Will definitely be staying here again.

    Patricia, UK

  • The cottage is absolutely stunning. In a beautiful, peaceful location, it has been decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard. The hosts were very helpful and quick to answer our queries. We didn’t want to leave and hope we can come back again in future. 10/10, highly recommended.

    Greg, Muxton

  • Super place in just the best location. If you're planning on escaping from everything and heading for the hills Ridge House is perfect. Beautifully decorated, super cosy, well equipped - we couldn't fault it and didn't really want to leave. Mary & Jonny have done a beautiful job. It's perfect!

    Lucy, Leeds

  • This is a fantastic house. We had a wonderful break with cosy nights by the fire and so much to do nearby. Highly recommend.

    Catherine, York

  • Mary and Jonny were amazing hosts! They were super helpful and went above and beyond! The house itself is just an interior dream! Super cosy, warm and homely. Beautiful views in every direction! Although a little out of Sedbergh, lots of walks across the way and not far from Kendal! Easy access to Windermere and other locations. We have two little ones and were able to find lots to do daily (especially in the garden). We had food twice in Ravenstonedale at the Kings Head which is a 10/15min drive (well worth it). Thank you so much for everything! We will be back!

    Georgina, Denbigh

  • The house is in beautiful, peaceful location. There are amazing views of the hills from every window. A lot of thought has gone into the design of the house and decor. The furnishings and fittings are of a high standard. There is a lovely dining kitchen and outdoor seating area and garden that the kids enjoyed, also very cosy with the woodburner. There are many great walks including to Cautley waterfall but also a short drive into Sedbergh for shops, pubs etc. It's much quieter than the Lake District. Hosts were great and a lovely welcome pack was provided too.

    Lisa, UK

  • We had a fantastic stay at Ridge House. The location is incredible with walks right from the door into the surrounding hills. It’s 5minutes drive from Sedburgh as well which has a butcher and grocer, some nice pubs and lovely walks along the river. However, that said, the house is just so gorgeous, with such attention to detail, that you’d be forgiven for just staying there and not going out! The outside space is a lovely sun trap, the living room has beautiful views and the kitchen dining room is a fantastic family friendly room. Mary and Jonny were both incredibly hospitable and we were so grateful they shared their home with us!

    Hafsa, Hastings

  • Beautifully comfortable and spotless house that Mary & Jonny have finished fantastically. We had a gorgeous low-key few days of walking, lazy suppers and pottering around.

    Iona, London

  • We stayed here for three nights. We love this house: the 360 degrees stunning views, the colorful and well-tended garden, the thoughtfully decorated rooms, and the impressive kitchen. This is definitely one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at so far. We are definitely coming back to this house if we ever come back to visit this area.

    David, Los Angeles

  • My family had a wonderful stay here. The location is beautiful, with stunning views and the local town just a short drive away. The house is very well decorated throughout, with plenty of space for everyone. Lots of lovely bonuses - like the easy parking, being pet friendly, and a stocked fire place!

    Imogen, UK

  • Excellent place to stay. Beautiful area as well but the house is a fantastic place to get away to. Very well looked after by our hosts.
