"Well where do I start to review this wonderful place? On arrival we were met by Dawn who showed us round the cottage which has been furnished and equipped to the highest standard. The kitchen has everything you could wish for dishwasher, oven, microwave coffee machine etc. The hot tub was amazing all ready for us to use straight away, we had brought our friend as a surprise for her birthday and she burst into tears of happiness when she saw the hot tub. The swimming pool was fantastic just a text or a phone call and Dawn opened it up for us it was the perfect temperature and we enjoyed a swim every day. We were so lucky with the weather and in the evenings we sat in the conservatory enjoying a drink with the doors open onto a lovely view. The bedrooms were really lovely and the beds were as comfortable as we’ve ever slept in. The bathrooms were all finished to a very high standard all with brilliant showers. I could go on and on praising this place. Thank you Dawn for making our stay so pleasurable. Although we didn’t see Gordon we spoke to him on the phone and he was really nice and helpful. We will definitely be back to this wonderful little haven."

"The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for with close proximity to local amenities but secluded enough to be tranquil and peaceful. The accommodation itself was spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly require. The owners were especially friendly and helpful and the dog enclosure/agility park was perfect - a little small but good enough as we have three Golden Retrievers. Access to the cottage was good with the written directions taking us straight to the place. Local and not so local literature within the cottage was very good and gave us all the information we required. Overall it was perfect for our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Luckily the weather was ideal with no rain only clear sunny skies. The only one concern which did not adversely affect ourselves was the cow byer next door and the noise on some mornings from the cows. The one thing you will definitely require is fly spray, as the Lake District is renowned for its midgies which were a pest everywhere we went. Overall I can highly recommend the cottage, the owners and the area. Sept 2012."

"We had a lovely stay surroundings lovely. We stayed on a couple of extra night's because it was so peaceful. Owner laid back and accommodating.I would return if a few changes could be made firstly a deep clean to get rid of ant problem in hall and kitchen pretty bad. Secondly the bed in double room is a bit lumpy and hard. Thirdly need a couple of more pillows in double room and finally a good high dusting of walls stonework and beams to get rid of spiders webs as this could put people off. We made the most of the break as we hadn't had one since late last year.It is a lovely barn conversion and dogs loved the outdoors so peaceful and quiet. Has everything you need even a child gate to stop dogs getting upstairs.Brampton is a short drive away for spar, co op, pharmacy great wee fruit and veg shop that gives you brown paper bags to put your items in. Great gin selection at Howard Hotel. A drive to l9ngtown you can catch the hidden river cabins cafe which serves great good staff friendly."

"Enjoyed our stay immensly, owners very helpful, a very well equipped property. Situated a short walk from Lanercost Abbey (restaurant),nearto Brampton for general shops(Spar & Co op) parking slightly confusing,just pop into the post office and ask for a parking disc, my brother lives in Scotland and they use the same system(Disc&display).Property near to all the Hadrian wall visitors sites, Carlisle excellent shopping & parking, Gretna only a short drive away. Only slight problem I found with the cottage, and only because we have a large4x4 is the parking, the lane at the side of the cottage is well used, and by some large vehicles, smaller cars would probably not find manuevering an issue."

"An excellent place to stay.The cottage is very much better than the photos. They don't do it justice. All the furnishings are modern and well equipped. A large bedroom, good quality kitchen cupboards (including a dishwasher) and luxury bathroom suite.There is everything you would have at home from cleaning equipment, loo rolls to fresh flowers and a flowering plant. There was even some tea bags, coffee and a jug of milk.The owners were very helpful and friendly. It's walking distance to the stunning Lanercost Priory. It is very central for Hadrian's wall, kielder forest and the Scottish Borders.We hope we will be able to stay again in the near future"
