Carwinley Mill House Cottage

"Lovely large hot tub. Lots of upgrade work due to creation of wedding venue so occasional noise. No information regarding area in cottage, would have been good to have at least local info. Mattress on bed needs replacing very saggy, not comfortable. When we left we tried to hand in keys and there was literally nobody there. Had to leave key in the door. I called the mobile number provided and left a voicemail to say we were going and to apologise as I had broken a plate, didn’t get any response."

"The host was warm and welcoming. The cottage was beautiful, clean and had everything you might need. The hottub was wonderful and surrounded by stunning woodland. It was a brilliant base for visiting the surrounding areas and the bottle of prosecco was a lovely touch that added to the celebrations. Perfect romantic getaway. We'd absolutely love to come back. Thank you."

"The owners were fantastic,friendly and it was a nice little touch with the bottle of prosecco upon arrival."

"Would highly recommend."

"Will definitely be booking again in future."

"Dressing gowns and extra towels to use when we got out of the hot tub. Would recommend"

"Couldn’t fault anything, cottage was spotless, hot tub was relaxing and Danielle and Trevor are amazing, very accommodating! Will definitely be returning, thank you for a lovely stay!!"

"This was our 4th visit and we’ll be back for a 5th! We love the setting and the facilities. We lock ourselves in and don’t come out for the duration of our stay. Our only comment would be that there seemed to be a huge amount of chlorine in the hot tub this time. Our skin has been in a bit of a bad way since but we know that this isn’t the norm and was likely just a one-off."

"Beautiful cosy cottage with a lovely hot tub that was ideal in the evenings for enjoying the starry night sky over a gin & tonic or other alcoholic beverage. Lovely kitchen and settee. Once you closed the front door in the afternoon /evening you were nicely cocooned inside. We will be returning."

"To say we were In awe of the property is an understatement. It was cosy with a warm homely feel. The views from the rear are spectacular of the river. The hot tub was lovely underneath a clear sky with the stars above. We will certainly be returning in the future for a return visit"

"Hot tub was fantastic,the cottage was very clean and well maintained. The only minor faults we did find was the blinds in the bedroom could not be wound back up once you pulled them down also the same issue with one in the living room and the sofa would be better if it was a 3 seater and not a 2. Overall we had a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend it."

"The hot tub was great for unwinding after a day exploring the area. Quiet, peaceful, comfy+cosy- just what we wanted, thank you!"

"The hot tub was amazing. The only downside was the lack of notice regarding the ongoing building works, Being woken at 7am was not good and several mornings the noise started at 8am. A little warning would have been good from the host. It didn't spoil our week away but took the gloss off it."

"Danielle and Trevor are great hosts, super friendly and have great knowledge of the local area which was helpful. The cottage itself is well equipped, and has no flaws. A super comfy bed, great open kitchen diner space with open plan living area. Outside there is a private hot tub with a lovely view of the river. If you are considering booking Carwinley Mill House Cottage but are unsure, do it! You will not regret it."

" Very clean and comfy. Had the best stay it was so relaxing we spent every single night in the hot tub we loved it that much! Somewhere we would love to go back to for sure! "

" Well equipped and cosy. The addition of the platform above the river only adds to the experience. "

" We had a wonderful experience, The property was in a stunning location and it was was beyond stunning, The owners at the property Were Lovely they were extremely attentive if you had any issues, nothing was any trouble to them they would do anything they could to make your stay a wonderful one. Would Absolutely recommend this property and the other properties they also have also look very nice. We liked it that much we even rebooked for next December. Many thanks for our wonderful stay. "

" Beautiful location, peaceful and super relaxing! Trevor and Danielle were incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home. Would 100% go back again! "

" Lots of internal space and large private garden with huge hot tub, which is a great place to relax after a day out and about. Very quiet and peaceful, but only a short drive to lovely pubs and local shops. Friendly owners with 2 friendly dogs. Highly recommended. "

" “My husband said he couldn't remember the last time he was so relaxed. The cottage itself is beautiful and the hot tub, seating area and surprise deck were wonderful. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will also more than likely rebook.” "

" “Danielle and Trevor were so welcoming and always on hand if we required anything. The cottage was fully equipped and had amazing views over the stream. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after a day walking in the Lakes or North of the border in Scotland. Thoroughly enjoyed our week, thank you” "

" Danielle and Trevor are wonderful! The views and surrounding areas are beautiful. Such a lovely place & we will definitely be back! Thank you so much!! "

" “This place is lovely and the owners are friendly too. Real hidden gem. I will definitely be coming again, would love to see it in the summer!” "

" Location was very private considering there were 4 other modes of accommodation. Grounds were well maintained with our cottage enjoying a viewing platform overlooking a river. Hot tub was an absolute dream, again felt very private. Really enjoyed being able to unwind, relax, enjoy a bottle of wine, (left by host), and get away from the madness. "

" When we arrived we were greeted by Danielle and her two lovely dogs and she told us about the hot tub, walks in the area and places to eat nearby, all extremely helpful. The cottage was spotless! You could see it had been deep cleaned ready for us, we found a lovely bottle of prosecco and some home made rocky road brownies waiting for us in the kitchen which was a nice touch by the owners. The cottage was warm, cosy and right next to the river Esk. The hot tub was huge and great to relax in on a night with a glass of bubbles ! We had a newly built viewing area down some steps over looking the river, this would be lovely on a warm morning/evening to sit and watch the wild life. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space, could have done with more hangers in the wardrobe and one of the roller blinds was broken, no pully to open/shut the blind. Bathroom was light and airy and has a very good shower, plenty of towels (even though we took our own too), the shower glass door is very loose and can open so water can go on the floor, this needs attention. Kitchen was a great size and had plenty of cupboards but few glasses, only 1 wine glass and no prosecco glasses. It has two plastic glasses for out side but not great to drink out of while chilling in the living room, and needs a blind at the front door window. Outside area was relaxing and plenty of wood and matches for the chimenea, it does have a small two seater wicker sofa but the cushions had been left out so they were wet and mouldy, not sure why these weren't brought into the cottage ? so we couldn't use that seating area. We are been a little picky with these issues but they are so small and could be easily remedied to make the cottage even better than it is, we will definitely be going back, such a relaxing spot away from everything, just what's needed if you want a chilled out break!

" We would not have known about the village of Powfoot a small coastal village near Annan. or the river walk to the church and swing footbridge had they not advised us. the only shortcoming was that the roads did not have footpaths which made walking difficult. However, very enjoyable. "

" The holiday itself? The best, most relaxing week ever and the prosecco and brownies left for us on arrival was a lovely surprise. The hosts, Danielle and Trevor are amazing. We had planned to get married whilst there and our wonderful hosts went above and beyond the call of duty to make our wedding day extra special. Thank you so much, we will never forget your kindness. The cottage itself is beautiful, and felt amazingly clean and comfortable. Everything you could need for a romantic break for two. Sitting in the hot tub listening to the birds singing in the mornings, the chimnea and viewing platform above the beck made this holiday perfect. We have already booked to go back next year! "

We received homemade brownies and a bottle of bubbly on arrival which was a great gesture from the very welcoming owners. Towels and toiletries were provided, the hot tub was a great extra! The hot tub was always hot which was amazing to relax in surrounded by nature. It looked onto fields and trees with a stream just down the stairs from the hot tub.

" “We loved every second in this beautiful cottage it was so peaceful and relaxing, just what we both needed. Both Trevor and Dani could not do enough for us and made us feel so welcome as soon as we arrived. The cottage itself was perfect, a home away from home, it was cosy, immaculate and the hot tub just topped it off. We cannot wait to return and will be recommending to all our friends and family. Thank you for a lovely stay and weekend!” "

"The whole cottage is gorgeous, the hot tub in the garden is definitely the best feature, set in a private garden this is the ideal place to relax! The owners are lovely and do leave you alone. We WILL be back and if you book this so will you! Thank you so much for a fantastic break away x"

" Just had 5 nights at The Cottage. Lovely cottage and can honestly say not a cobweb in sight !. Hot tub was relaxing. Not far Carlisle so we prepaid for train tickets to Edinburgh and had a wonderful first time visit. Totally my fault as I didn’t take notice of the bed size, but the double bed was too small for us as we are both about 6ft. Would definitely recommend for a couples stay Loved the homemade cookies on arrival, after a long journey and the fizz thank you x "

" Denise and Trevor couldn’t have been more accommodating. We arrived late on a Sunday and met there lovely daughter who showed us round and gave us a heads up on the best restaurants in the area. In the cottage we had a brownies and Prosecco waiting for us along with tea, coffee, sugar and hot chocolate! The cottage and hot tub was beautiful with a river at the bottom. All lovely and clean and fresh. We had an amazing break in the country and would definitely love to go back! "

" The Mrs and I wanted a weekend away from the daily grind and this cottage was just that. In a beautiful setting with lovely surroundings. A very well equipped cottage perfect for two people. Clean and tidy and the hot tub was fantastic. Perfect getaway to switch off and unwind. When I say switch off - I mean complete digital detox as there is no WiFi or phone signal. Just what the doctor ordered ! Loved the brownies by the way (on a plate ready to eat on arrival). And thanks for the non alcoholic drinks which was a really nice personal touch. "

" We came here to run away for the weekend and just relax and what a great location for this. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful place and the owners were really welcoming. Loved the hot tub and the cottage, has everything you need and I really didn't want to go home. Great for walks around Hadrian's wall, Carlise and Gretna... so can chill out or go explore the local areas. You may struggle with mobile signal and there is no Wi-Fi... but to be honest it was great to be off radar for a few days Would definitely come back and totally have already recommended to our friends and family. Just want to apologies to owners on our departure - completely forgot to remove some items from the fridge :( head was in the clouds "

"We have just returned from simply the best week at Carwinley Mill Cottage. From the moment we arrived, the welcome could not have been warmer from Danielle, Trevor and the dogs! We arrived to a bottle of bubbly, fresh milk and home made chocolate brownies..mmm! The cottage is beautiful, superbly equipped and the hot tub just tops it! We must give a very special thank you to Danielle and Trevor for being the most wonderful hosts. Not only did they act as witnesses at our wedding in Gretna, but they took us there in their Range Rover, ribboned up just for us and also provided champagne on the way and then decorated the cottage with balloons and banners for our return after the wedding. They really did go the extra mile, and we will be returning for our anniversary if not before!! Thank you for a wonderful week! Kevin & Jo Jennings x"

"Although it's a few mile from the nearest town and to me not a well known place, this place is a great place for most people whether your someone who likes to go for walks or just wants to sit back and relax, it's the perfect getaway. Compact and cosy is the best way to explain it. From the day we arrived we felt like we were made very welcome from the hosts along with the 3 dogs who always came to greet you every day. They allow you to take a tour of their land, which is around 3 acres. A taxi service is also offered if you want to head to a pub from Trevor which is extremely generous. The thing that made this place great for me has to be the hot tub. I want one haha. Despite not having the weather and not being able to see the stars, it is just so relaxing no matter what the weather is and chill with a drink at whatever time you like. Research for activities to do is best done before you head there but Gretna is a decent place to go to if you have never been there before. To summarise, we really enjoyed our stay here and would happily return if we get the chance."

" We just wanted a few days away to unwind and chill out, this is the place to go for exactly that. It's a small cottage for 2 people it has a full equipped kitchen , bathroom, bedroom and living room, it's also got the added bonus of a hot tub to soak away your aches and pains . It is very private and quiet with only the noise of birdsong which was quite nice. "

"me and my partner stayed here for a long weekend and absolutely loved it! The owners were lovely and couldn't do more to help whilst also leaving us to do our thing and enjoy our holiday. The cottage is beautiful and really cosy and not forgetting the hot tub which was absolutely amazing, it made the holiday!! It was a perfect little break in a stunning setting, just be prepared for a lot of walking if you dont have transport as the nearest shop is an hour walk away! other than that, perfect!"

"We were excited by the pictures on the website and the cottage totally lived up to expectations. The owners were there to greet us and show us around, and had provided bread, milk, homemade scones and bramble liqueur! At night time and after long walks around lakes and along Hadrian's wall, the hot tub umder the stars was perfect! We will happily go back again for the hideaway base!"

"Really enjoyed staying at the cottage. We stayed for four days and will definitely be returning in the near future. It's a beautiful cottage and very peaceful, with loads of grounds to explore. The hot tub was the added bonus which we took advantage of every evening. We were warmly welcomed by the owners and their lovely dogs. Recommened this cottage to all our friends and family."

"Myself and partner spend 4 nights in this cottage. On arrival, the owners were there to greet us, and answer any questions. Then, showing us around the cottage, welcomed us with homemade liquors, bread, milk, teabags & sugar, a small thought, that went a long way. After our welcome, the owners were more than happy to help with bags and recommendations, one thing that made this place so special was the owners being on hand if we needed them, offering to take us out in there own car to a romantic restaurant to make sure we could have a good night and returned safe and sound. The cottage was beautiful, very homely and extremely clean, the hot tub was a definite bonus, but it wasnt the main feature, sitting in the lounge in front of the fire was so peaceful. My partner has also added that the sky+HD was brilliant, having the chance to watch football and relax was amazing. We will defiantly be returning to Carwinley, an added bonus for us, is its the place, we finally started our relationship, so Carwinley holds a special place in our hearts."

" Enjoyed staying at the cottage for our holiday, the hot tub was the perfect way to end a busy day's sightseeing in and around Cumbria. About an hour and a half's drive from the Lakes, and with zero phone signal, this was a great 'get away from it all' holiday. "

"I would recommend this cottage to everyone looking for a relaxing get away from normal everyday hectic life. The owners of the cottage are so lovely and helpfully they told us lots a great places to visit. There dogs also made us feel very welcomes with lots of cuddles and kisses. The cottage had everything you would ever think you would need. It was comfortable and so very clean you couldn't have asked for more. The out door hot tub was amazing so lovely and warm on chilly nights looking up at the stars. The cottage is about 3 miles from the local town,shops and pubs. So you really did feel you were alway from everything all you could hear was the birds singing in the trees and the water running down the stream near the cottage I absolutely loved the place and everything about it and can't wait to go back for another stay"

"What a beautiful cottage and location! We (a couple) spent a relaxing week here in March and loved every minute of it. The owners were very pleasant and left us to it, but we felt they were on hand if we had any enquiry. When we arrived they had left us bread, milk and some home made cheese scones which was a really nice touch. They have 2 really friendly dogs which we enjoyed fussing every day. The cottage itself is just lovely. Big windows, amazing kitchen. Homely and comfortable but everything was high quality. The hot tub really was the icing on the cake. The week we stayed was just before Easter, when the country had heavy snow so it was quite cold and windy, but that didnt stop us from being in the hot tub 3 times a day with our glasses of wine, in our woolly hats! The location is probably halfway between Gretna and Carlisle and we went to a different place every day. One day we got the train from Carlisle to Edinburgh, so there is plenty to do if you want it. The Bridge Inn pub just a couple of miles away does great home made food, particularly Sunday lunch. It's hard to beat. I'm sure anyone reading this can tell how much we enjoyed our stay at Carwinley Cottage. I would highly recommend it!!"

"We had a fabulous few days at this cottage, everyone was so friendly (including dogs). Getting a lift to the local pub and back was unexpected and much appreciated. The cottage is in a great location and with the hot tub on the decking it was a little bit of paradise - sitting in tub with glass of bubbly it dosen't get much better than that!"

" This was a beatuiful cottage in a lovely setting - very relaxing. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful and we will certainly be coming back. "
