Fantastic 4.7/5

Booked Howgills House for a work event for 2 nights. The house was immaculate and very well equipped. The location is fantastic with beautiful views over the countryside, especially from the hot tub. The decor is very tasteful and the communal spaces were flexible and great for a large group. The owners were very helpful and made sure we had a great stay.

A home away from Home for a Yoga Retreat in the Howgills 4.8/5

Howgills House is a wonderful home from home with great energy and good vibes as soon as you arrive, the location was perfect for our wonderful Yoga and Nutrition Retreat using all rooms of the house and the lounge for Yoga classes, the hot tubs got used daily as well. We had daily walks to the Mill and around the Howgills with a local walk guide and the guests loved their stay so much they want me to organise another one.

Adrianne Nightingale | 30 September 2025

Fantastic house and perfect location 5/5

Perfect house to accommodate a large group. The house had literally everything we could possibly need (and much more). Spotlessly clean and really spacious. Lovely outside area to relay in the hot tub admiring the wonderful view. Only a short walk from the dales and a the lovely town of Sedbergh. Really was a perfect choice for our work team building stay.

Matthew Tozer | 29 September 2025

Incredible house with location to match 4.5/5

Great amenities, location, space, and more. The only downside is a lot of the beds are showing wear and tear and mattresses need urgent replacement.

Ricardo Seixas | 26 July 2025

Luxury and fun 5/5

This was our second year at Howgills House and we have already booked for next year. What can I say, the house is beautiful and luxurious, but what really make it if the wonderful countryside views. Sitting in the hot tub watching the lambs gambling in the adjoining field is wonderful. The staff have thought of everything and it’s the small touches that make it special. We had amazing weather this year, so made good use of the outdoor seating, BBQ, pizza oven and outdoor fridge. For large groups looking for a bit of luxury in the countryside, this place is a must.

Husband's 50th weekend gathering 4.8/5

Beautiful property and very friendly management team. All services and facilities you could possibly need onsite and help at hand if needed. The hot tub and bar were very special touches. My husband had a wonderful birthday and the whole group loved the house.

A great house for celebrating 4.8/5

24 of us gathered together to celebrate our dad‘s 80th birthday spanning in ages from 6 to 80. Howgills House didn’t let us down! The negatives first, as there really aren’t many…the doors are mostly fire doors, seemingly from when the building was a care home in a former life, which are heavy but reassuringly safe! They could do with an oil or something to lesson the noise of opening them especially in the bedrooms to avoid waking others up. Also just a note that you should ignore the sofa beds on the floor plans as they aren’t usable. So they are just sofas and not additional beds, which would have been handy to flex the accommodation, not necessarily for extra capacity. Putting those 2 point aside, the house more than met our needs, and we had a great time. The social space downstairs was great with plenty of sofas and comfy seating for everyone the TV lounge and an extra snug upstairs those who wanted some quiet, a space to be. The kitchen is compact but has absolutely everything that’s needed, and the utility room with drinks fridge and extra shelving was very handy. The volume of glasses, cups, crockery and cutlery is brilliant as you’re not having to constantly wash up to maintain numbers as there’s plenty to spare. The bedrooms are all well appointed, although some extra hangers would be useful as most rooms only had four, which for a weeks stay was nowhere near enough. The house has everything you could think of and need, and we weren’t disappointed. Our arrival seamless with a tour of the house and he must have information and checking out on departure today was equally as easy. The property is well looked after and it was great having somebody to check the hot tub daily and also to monitor the recycling space, which with 24 over the course of a week soon mounted up, but the bins never got full thanks to be behind the scenes action by the Howgills team….thank you! The outside space was great for socialising and the children loved the games room and activities. Thanks for hosting our special week together and helping us make great memories!

Excellent!!! 5/5

It was very good location for my holiday. My family along with my dear friends i truly enjoyed the Howgills Accommodation

Dinil Parackal | 18 August 2021

Amazing accommodation with friendly owners, perfect for family reunion 4.8/5

Accommodation exceeded expectations. Everything was clean and comfortable and plenty of space for the whole family so we didn't feel we were on top of each other the whole weekend. Hot tubs were the cherry on top of a fantastic property. The only negatives are the size of the bunks, the lower bunks are very low with not a lot of head room and as we are quite a tall family it proved a challenge getting in and out of them. The other was the small kettle, a water boiler or more than one kettle wouldve been more appropriate. But honestly that's just us nit picking what is otherwise a perfect property- already planning our next trip back to Howgills!

Danni Allman | 11 August 2021

Family Holiday 5/5

It was an amazing House, Amy and Nigel were great host very accommodating to our needs they have thought of everyone and everything in this beautiful House. Everyone loved the Hot tubs,it was very spacious for all 26 of us inside and the outdoors to the garden and BBQ area We have been recommending it to all our friends and family.Great place to relax.

Farooque Patel | 30 July 2021

Beautifully presented, spacious building 4.7/5

A touch of luxury, everything perfect and lots of clever touches. The kitchen is professional standard and has plenty of fridge space. There is a very large common room area with lots of comfortable seating. Bedrooms have high quality bedding and comfy towels, and everyone is also provided with a separate towel for the hot tubs. Outdoors there's lots more weather proof comfortable seating which is where we ate each day - if you fill every bed, the dining room is slightly small. There is a small astro area where children might like to play with a beach ball (bring one rather than a football, since it won't damage the building). There is space for several cars but if you are bringing lots of people you may need to plan where to park - we had two minibuses and a trailer which fitted easily onto the parking space. The house is in the countryside so there it is very quiet - the main thing you can hear is sheep! The owners are very responsive if you have any questions. Wifi works well. All bedrooms are ensuite which is fantastic. No TV in the bedrooms but there is a large TV in the common room. Sedbergh is nearby for shops, and supermarkets are happy to deliver to the property. Be aware of rubbish collection which is Thursday - you need to bring the bins out.

Chris Boardman | 11 July 2021

Wonderful time enjoyed by all - ages 3 to 40 4.7/5

We stayed at this holiday accommodation in the Yorkshire dales in August 2020 . We appear to have been exceptionally fortune in being the first guest since the lockdown, during which time there had been renovations. The entire place had a new and fresh feel to it. The photos on the website did not do the property justice, it was much larger in reality than the photos had given us the impression of. The kitchen facilities were all well apportioned and the drinks cooler was a welcome bonus, especially as the week we were there was very hot. The 2 hot tubs were a big hit and the owner kindly arranged for one to be converted to a 'cold tub' at our request, again, very welcome in the hot weather we had. The scenic and calming views whilst sitting in the hot tub were a wonderfully relaxing experience. From all ages, we had a great time here and felt quite sad when we had to leave! This was our first time holidaying up north and we are left with lovely memories of the beautiful scenery, lovely locals and friendly helpful owner. We very much hope to have the chance to visit again.

Kate Saunders | 02 September 2020

A brilliant family weekend 5/5

We had a great weekend staying at Howgills house! The house was spotlessly clean, spacious and very well equipped! The bedrooms were clean, comfy and each room was like its own little world away from the rest of the house, when you were in your own room you couldn't hear a thing from outside, perfect when staying with others! The beds and sheets were very comfy! We had plenty of towels, bath mats and toilet rolls supplied! The kitchen was very well equipped we didn't miss anything during our stay, everything we needed was provided! The pool table was a huge hit! We had great fun playing pool and listening to music on the speakers. The items provided for breakfast were a lovely surprise and we enjoyed eating together in the big dining room. So much to say about the house I'm trying to remember it all! The lawn was great fun to play on and ideal being astro as we had had weather during our stay but this meant that everytime we had 5 minutes of sun we could play out without getting muddy! We would certainly love to return in the future, Dawn and Nigel were very helpful and accommodating and kept in good contact right up to and during our stay. Thank you for a great weekend!

Brian Cauvin | 25 August 2020
