    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Wendy - Verified booking

      Stayed at The Bothy as a women and her dog, wanting an escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

      Wow! Did this place deliver in spades. The cottage is amazing. Quirky. Packed with character. Very well equipped and immaculately clean. Mark and Jo are super hosts. Genuinely one of the nicest couples I’ve met. Whilst they live on site, I never saw them (except arrival and departure) but it was great to know they were there if needed. The scone and fresh eggs on arrival were very welcome too - thank you! Now location…. This cottage is on a hillside in heaven! The views from The Bothy are incredible but there are also so many walks straight from the door and a variety too! Whether you want 1 mile to 50 mile, riverside or moorland, the one thing you can be sure of, is the area has it all. I parked the car up on arrival and it didn’t move again til I left. I walked a total of over 45 miles during the week and never did the same walk twice! Not only that but I reckon I didn’t see more than a dozen people throughout the entire weeks walks!!! Having said that this has to be one of the friendliest places I’ve ever been. Every single person I met was absolutely lovely Nenthead (under a mile away) has a local shop and fabulous cafe (the Hive) and the mine is a great visit. Hopefully the local pub will reopen soon. Alston (3.8 miles) has a variety of shops with a couple of pubs/restaurants. Issac Tea Trail literally runs from The Bothy but honestly this whole area is a walkers paradise. For anyone who’s thinking of booking…. Do it! You won’t be disappointed!!! I can’t wait to return for New Year and this time I’m taking dog and hubby!

      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.

    • 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

    • Kaye - Verified booking

      Absolutely brilliant in every way.

      Accurate pictures and information, apart from the picnic table (missing) which would have been lovely to use in the sunshine. Spotlessly clean. Tasteful and sturdy furniture. Plenty of wardrobe space. Nicely decorated. Well equipped and lots of thoughtful touches. Comfy bed. Easy to use heating and microwave. Amazing location - beautiful views, so peaceful and quiet, very private. I split my holiday between studying and walking - brilliant for both activities. Sheep and pit ponies in surrounding fields for company. Owner helpful/ responsive/ friendly when there was power cut one afternoon and when there was strange banging noise (turned out to be lounge heater, but was only on first night which was cold). Tons of walks on the doorstep. Broadband better than expected - sometimes iffy during day but perfect at night. Loved it so much, have booked to go back twice again this year! 100/10. Thank you!

    • Linda - Verified booking

      The cottage was nice with some nice touches and well equipped.

      We liked the remote position and walked into Alston from the cottage a few times. Unfortunately the settee and chair were uncomfortable and so was the bed. The shower worked intermittently meaning sometimes we needed to hold the on/off switch with one hand and try to shower with the other (we thought it was a water saving feature to start with). Other times once pressed it worked until pressed again? The toilet handle was really loose upon arrival and on the 3rd day it come off, and I had to fit it back. The internet was really poor as in it would keep resetting itself every couple of minutes whilst using it (we had the same problem when we used BT). I know there are a few negatives in this review and we could have called the caretaker for the maintenance issues. I'm sure when the things are repaired it will make someone the perfect place to stay.
