    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!

    • Peter - Verified booking

      My wife and I loved the cottage.

      It was beautiful inside, very tastefully decorated, clean, modern and full of nice touches. Very thoughtful of the owners to leave wine and some flapjacks. The owner's guide to the cottage, and recommendations for walks and where to eat, was witty and thorough. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage. In addition to the living room/kitchen area, the bedrooms, batrhrooms and showers were all a pleasure to behold. Given their embracement of the feedback from holidaymakers, and their own classy input, there seems to be little that the owners haven't considered. The village of Garrigill is pretty, as is the whole area, and the re-opening of the George and Dragon pub in 2025 is a welcome one. We spent our time on a number of walks and on visiting Alston, Penrith, Hexham, Carlisle and the Lake District. Plenty to see and do but one of the highlights was just to watch the birds in the cottage garden. It's teaming with them. We'll be back!

      The Bothy is an absolute gem, a comfortable place to come back to after a day out walking in the hills, a fabulous location and made to feel very welcome by Mark and Jo.

      The eggs and scones were all appreciated, and it was lovely to enjoy breakfast hoping the red squirrel would visit the bird feeder (other than one day it was there everyday!). No matter the mixed weather, and other than one day's short trip into Alston,the car stayed parked, as the walks out were fantastic and in fact a reason I am already looking forward to coming back as there are still more to enjoy. For me a magical part of the stay was to be in the hills seeing and hearing the curlews, seeing curlew chicks on the ground, and providing memories of long ago holidays, lovely to see them again. The Bothy gave me the relaxing yet fun filled break I was hoping for, in a part of England I had not appreciated is truly magical, and somewhere I was made to feel truly welcome. Once again, thanks Mark and Jo and hope to be back again very soon!

      Bonny bits cottage had been on our to do list for a while and our visit exceeded our expectations.

      The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard. The fixtures and fittings are high quality and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The upper floor bathroom is particularly stunning with wonderful views from the bath! The owners have compiled a very comprehensive visitors folder with information about the cottage and local area. We really appreciated this and enjoyed the walks from the cottage.The village is very quiet (don't expect amenities on your doorstep) we were aware of this and the payoff is peace and tranquility. It was like stepping back in time! Alston is just a short drive away for your nearest shops. If you are looking to get away from it all then Bonny bits is the perfect place to be. I'm sure we'll be back again!

    • Becky - Verified booking

      Fantastic cottage although the instructions on how to find it weren't very easy to follow.

      The cottage itself was beautifully furnished and really comfortable. Easy access to the town and also to open countryside. The owner was really friendly and helpful when I called to ask about key collection, recommending local places to walk and eat and she'd even left a cake which I thought was a lovely touch. Alston is peaceful and the locals were very friendly. Very dog friendly too! Lots of walks close by and the pubs are all dog friendly which was great. Only issue was parking. If you have a larger car don't attempt to drive down to the cottage as there are very few places to turn round again! Other than that a perfect spot. Thank you!
