  It's a beautiful little place in a lovely part of the world.

  It's incredibly private so the hot tub and bifold doors meant we spent lots of time drinking in the nature of the pond and wildlife area. (We had lots of visits from Mr Pheasant) It is compact with no wardrobe and only a small handheld mirror, so pack light. As pathetic millennials we would have loved a bigger TV (maybe that swivelled around to the bedroom area), or a bigger sofa as we had very rainy weather so settled in for a movie and popcorn and found it a little tricky to get properly comfy - but that compelled us to get out and brave the rain more and of course to enjoy the hot tub in the rain...which is fanctasic! We would highly recommend going for a meal at the hidden river cafe. It's a beautiful restaurant with great food and we saw deer on our way there. Book a taxi well in advance if you want to have a drink. Longtown has lots of amenities and is a short drive, (not really walkable for the pub) but with a hot tub at home we were happy to get back and settle in for the evening. Good takeaways available which is great as cooking isn't the easiest but I did manage a full English! Would highly recommend for couples wanting some down time. It's a bit like very glamourous glamping, I felt at one with nature, yet I had all my creature comforts. I would love to go back and try one of the other properties on site, all of which seemed really private and like they had something unique to experience. Also, the Moat honey sold in the shack is *chefs kiss*. Would highly recommend.

  Booked this for my partners birthday for 3 nights very last minute at such an amazing price!

  We arrived here Tuesday afternoon, we managed to score perfectly with the weather! The place was beautiful and very secluded considering there was lodges around us! Lovely pond in front of the lodge with a fire pit to the side and it made us feel alone and away from everything else. Inside it was small but perfect for everything we needed, totally immaculate and a bottle of Prosecco on arrival. We had a lovely few days here. We ordered a takeaway on the first night, and travelled out to Longtown and Gretna the other days short ride out in the car, come home and cooked food with the hob supplied. On my partners birthday we came back to a bottle of Prosecco and happy birthday balloons what a lovely personal touch which made us want to come back again! Spent most nights in the hot tub and chilling around the fire pit. We were greeted every morning by the owners dogs after breakfast was cooked very friendly and happy to see us, we seen the owner Danielle a few times and she was ever so lovely recommending us places to visit. She was on hand if we needed her but never bothered us during our stay. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone that comes and we’re looking to book back up again in the future!

  Manor Suite was outstanding, very practical to look after and well equipped plus with a beautiful garden and glorious field to enjoy. The staff were extremely accommodating and considerate and had no quibble or question with my bringing my dog and cat. They left us in piece to enjoy our stay and allowed full benefit with secure drive parking and use of laundry facilities. The appliances are top quality and bed extremely comfortable, with enjoyable walk in shower and the benefit of a little bijou utility area for coats, boots and in my case my cats essentials. My favourite feature was the desk, perfect for my remote working and IT equipment. I cannot recommend this property and staff enough, Sue was amazing and even popped out and bought me 4 pints of milk for my arrival with chocolates and Prosecco. I extended my stay as long as I could, would have happily stayed for a month if they had not been booked out. Very sad to leave, a true home from home.

  The cottage was well equiped and had everything we needed for our stay. Lovely, modern furnishings with comfortable sofas and beds. Exceptionally clean and warm. The cottage is quite remote, but exactly how we wanted it to be. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and a perfect base to explore the surrounding areas. Halwhistle, is only a short drive away and a very dog friendly pub 2 miles with a walk from the door to the pub. Just a small point, there was no chopping board for preparing food in the kitchen and it would be a shame if the worktops were damaged and an oven tray would have been handy for heating food. this in no way affected our stay and is just a suggestion. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future. If you are looking for a cottage in beautiful surroundings then The Old Cottage is a must.

  The property was private and cozy even though it's on the site of a working family farm.

  That was actually one of our favorite parts, it felt like we were part of the countryside/community for a couple days. And we loved saying hello to the dogs and alpacas/llamas. We visited on a chilly weekend, so definitely use the space heaters provided if you get cold easily. We only used the wood stove (on purpose) and though that heats the living area so well and was extremely cozy, it was a little chilly in the bedroom without the heater on. Again, we did that on purpose, but not all like that. Our hosts were lovely the couple times we saw them and they were super responsive to texts - for example when we needed more kindling or teabags. The surrounding countryside was gorgeous and the inn/restaurant just down the road (The Crossings Inn) was great and so close by. It's also in Hadrian's Wall country. We loved it.
