    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Dave - Verified booking

      Amazing location in the middle of nowhere at the end of a Rd up in the Pennines.

      A farm 100 metres away, but otherwise it's sheep, Hills and wind. The field barn is more of a small tower. Upstairs is the open plan living area with a reasonable kitchen, comfortable furniture and large TV with Netflix. Candles and even a few pods for the coffee machine provided. Down stairs is a modern bathroom with simple Mira shower. The bed was comfortable with a rocking chair and plenty of wardrobe storage. Everything was fresh, clean and new , and well chosen. There were lots of ornaments and perhaps better quality John Lewis crockery etc than one might expect. Covid precautions all in place. Electric heaters were plenty to keep this place snug despite the incessant wind. Patio doors lead out to a small stone patio wraps around two sides. Sit at the picnic bench and watch the sun go down. Plenty of gravel parking, enough for a lorry. Remember, this is very rural, so access to the property is a long winding rough single track, road. Owner suggests arriving in daylight, but it wasn't hard to find, just have to be patient when driving slowly up the long winding track. Plenty of Walks up into the Hills or down into the Valley from here. Walking to Alstom takes perhaps 90 minutes, driving perhaps 10. Overall, if you want solitude or walking or raw nature, this is ideal. Can't think of anything negative to say to be honest. Was woken early one morning by a big grey sheep eating the picnic table loudly!

    • Lewis - Verified booking

      We had such a fantastic stay at Field Barn, we had to book again the day we returned!

      The barn is in a remote location, overlooking Alston Moor and the surrounding Pennines, fantastic for sitting out at night and looking at the stars, with no noise other than the sheep and the crackle of a fire. The bed is extremely comfy and there is plenty of space in the bedroom for clothes and other belongings, there were two of us and we each had a wardrobe. The bathroom was lovely and bright and the water was nice and hot, perfect after a long day of walking. We can’t express enough how wonderful the upstairs space is, the kitchen is well equipped, the fridge/freezer is spacious enough for supplies for a week, and the oven/cooker is modern and easy to use. We especially enjoyed the coffee machine in the mornings. The sofas were comfy and the juliette balcony gave us lovely views over the moor. We stayed for five days and didn’t have the TV on at all as there was no need with the scenery! There’s also a porch in the entrance to leave muddy shoes and to hang coats. Alston is around a 50min walk away, and the nearest pub in Nenthead is around 15/20 minutes walk, however, we couldn’t see any need to leave in the evenings as we enjoyed sitting out with the dog and a glass of wine. 10/10 stay - we would recommend Field Barn to anyone. We'd like to thank the hosts for providing such a perfect and genuinely lovely place and being great with communication throughout.

      Keepers Cottage is a lovely quirky cottage set on the hillside near Nenthead.

      The views from the sun room are wonderful during the day with copious amounts of birds visiting the well stocked bird feeders right outside of the window. You will also see a red squirrel visiting the feeders as well as a woodpecker. The sheep on the hillside in front of you are fun to watch as well as the rabbits. The sunsets at night are also gorgeous and it’s hard to tear yourself away from the peace and tranquility of such a lovely place. We loved our time at Keepers and would highly recommend it. The hosts are so friendly and helpful, meeting us on our arrival and showing us around. We were also welcomed with homemade scones and free range eggs, Yummy! We must say the hosts were the most friendliest people we have encountered on our stays within the 30 plus cottages we have holidayed in. The Pennies are an outstanding source of beauty with quaint little villages scattered around, well worth a visit. We enjoyed visits to Barnard Castle, Hexham and Carlisle. Alston have a lovely railway which meanders through the countryside. Lots of things to see and do with plenty of lovely walks. We would highly recommend staying here and visiting the beautiful areas of the North. You won’t meet more friendlier people than the Northerners!

      "Finders keepers" Well what a lovely homely inviting cottage this is.

      My husband and i knew from the moment we arrived that we were going to enjoy our stay here. On arrival we were met by the owners Mark and Jo and given a tour of the cottage, from the conservatory the views are amazing especially watching birds too and frowing to the the feeders is very entertaining. Jo left us eggs from their chickens, and delicious home made scones that went down a treat with our first cup of tea. After spending days out and about we looked forward to returning to the peace tranquility, and the views that this cottage offers. The bed was very comfortable, and we found the layout and facilities of the cottage worked very well for us. Mark and Jo are very welcoming, never intrusive, and happy to share recommendations of things to see and do, also providing many leaflets of attractions for you discover. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage, we would recommend this place to anyone seeking beautiful surroundings, with lots of places to visit within a short drive, and we would love to return in the near future. Best wishes Sandie & Roger

    • Katie - Verified booking

      We absolutely adored Field Barn - we stayed for a week following our wedding and plan to book another stay next year.

      The views are stunning from every side of the hills and countryside and there is plenty of outdoor space and seating to sit and enjoy this from. Everything was absolutely spotless when we got there from the kitchen area to the bedroom. Fluffy towels are provided, the kitchen has everything you need (except a tin opener); there are even rechargeable torches. My only comments for possible improvement are that the sofa, being a sofa bad, isn’t quite as comfy as a normal sofa would be. Also, whilst very comfortable, the bed is super creaky and a person moving around in the night wakes the other. I definitely think a more sturdy and less creamy bed frame would take my review to five stars instead of four. Alston is the closest town and it’s very quaint and picturesque, we loved it. There’s a Co-op and a few little gift type shops, a few pubs, a chippy and a general takeaway with Chinese, pizzas, kebabs etc All in all this was a fabulous week away
