The Byre Reviews

Abraham
We had a great time, the owner was extremely helpful and the area was great. definitely recommend.
Lovely stay . Very clean and comfy
Bethan
Thank you for having us to stay with you. Firstly, the location of the cottage is brilliant, we were able to explore Northumberland, the North Lake District, Hadrian's Wall and surrounding areas just as we had expected. Unfortunately, there were some niggles with the property there were only storage heaters which it was really difficult to control the temperature with, we tried turning them off at the wall but they were still pumping out heat hours later, and then because of the size of the ceilings, didn't always warm the rooms very well. The taps in both the kitchen and the bathroom were broken, although useable. Although the main thoroughfares were clean, there were finer detailed areas that would have benefitted from some closer attention such as the soap dish in the shower and under the bed. It would also have been nice to have an information pack on arrival containing things such as local places to eat, the WiFi code although this information is on the router, local shops, local first aid information, places to visit etc. Having said that, we were greeted personally by the owner of the property I think by chance who kindly passed on some of this information. Despite all of this, it was lovely to have an enclosed garden for our poochie, and we really enjoyed the open fire in the property. The biggest plus was the cost of the property we would usually expect to pay for a week, the price that we paid for 9 nights, so this was a big bonus. If the little niggles were sorted, this would be the perfect package. Thanks again.
Cathryn
Lovely stay . Didnt use hot tub as water needed changing but apart from that everything was good. Would stay again
Tracey

Monika
We had an amazing break at The Byre. The cottage was cosy and very clean. Its a nice gateaway from the busy city life, our kids enjoyed talking to the sheeps and playing outside. The fireplace is a great upgrade to chill at the evening. Highly recommend it. We makes sure to come again. Thank you
Was an ideal long weekend break,everything was just as needed. Lovely bed and great to have a fire to play with.Nice quiet relaxing place to stay,never noticed the trains.
Darrel
One of the taps in the bathroom didn't work but otherwise a lovely cottage
Matthew
What a lovely place. We stayed in The Byres & had a smashing time. Very clean & tidy with everything you need to enjoy a break. A vacuum cleaner would be an added bonus to be able to keep it clean & tidy during your stay. The dog proof garden was an absolute godsend. We will visit again.
Anthony
We have stayed at this location before, in Swallows Cottage. We booked the Byre, whilst a new boiler was being fitted at our home. This accommodation is ideally located and is close to both Northumberland and the Lake District. Accommodation was clean, homely and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and after a days exploring, relaxed in our surroundings. Dog friendly too, for the little feller and his first holiday. Would stay again and recommend to others. Thank you to the Ackerley's.
Steven
The property was warm and comfortable, every thing was there that was needed. Some great walks from the location and the local village of Brampton had all you needed from shops, post offices, pub etc. The owners were also great when the were any questions.
Joanne
Lovely cottage, and host. Good, quiet location with plenty to do near by.
Michelle
Great location very close to Hadrians wall , short drive to the Lake District. The cottage was clean and homely with everything you would need. We had a dog with us and the garden was secure for him. The people I spoke to about check in were very friendly and advised that we could could call them if we needed anything.
Sheila
Whilst the cottage has everything needed to cook etc, it lies on a very busy and noisy road. Were used to that so it didnt bother us. To my mind new mattresses are required on all beds, the singles especially, and a new duvet on the king size bed. The outside balcony has wire mesh on the wooden base. I kept tripping over it as it lifted at the edge in places. Also the side wooden fence on the balcony is not safe as it moves. It wouldnt take much for someone to lean on it and it gives way. In general the cottage is adequate but is tired and in need of a refurb.
The cottage was very nice. Spacious rooms, nice and comfortable big bed and large TV. It was in a good location close to a lot of nice areas for dog walking and sight seeing. One minor complaint was that the provision of DVD player and radio were advertised but not available and we were told we had Netflix on a smart TV. However for the first 3 days we could not access it. The owners were very helpful and once it had been sorted it was a reasonable replacement. We would suggest details are updated on your site.
Internet did not work , but owner was helpful to make it work for us. The Toilet flush handle did not funtion proper, took some doing put managed to make it work , just was a stuggle each time. Everything else was very good, lots of room , Clean , owner was helpful,
Comfortable and convenient location with very hospitable host. Well equipped and furnished. Lovely rural setting.
The cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Beds were very comfortable and we especially appreciated the large fridge freezer as we did a lot of our own cooking given the current situation. The dishwasher was therefore also very welcome! Mabel made sure we were happy with everything and she gave some wonderful advice on where to visit locally. The location is also superb, we explored all around the Sollway Estuary both on the English and Scottish side and both Carlisle and Dumfries are easy drives from here. The nearby town of Brampton is also a delightful place. We look forward to coming back!
Very beautiful cottage we all loved it. Very chilled out and loads to do inside cottage. Hot tub was great but could of been better if all jets worked. Other than that I couldn't complain. We will be returning
We really enjoyed our stay here, the owners were very helpful, giving some nice places to visit, where our puppy would enjoy a walk, and most likely go back!
Just got back from a fabulous few days away at The Byre. Easy to find and lots of parking available. We were shown straight to our cottage and the lady was very informative about the surrounding area and which places to visit. Cottage was lovely, clean and cosy. Perfect for dogs as the garden was very enclosed. We will definitely be back.
We had a fantastic holiday weekend at this beautiful cottage. The cottage itself was cosy, beautifully decorated, spotless clean and to top it all had a lovely wood burning fire. Fantastic location for exploring Hadrians Wall and Roman Ruins, and great walks for taking my dog Storm exploring. Will definitely be back next summer and might even try out the hot tub next time. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
We loved it! Great location to head off to the rest of the Lakes and up to Scotland. Cottage is nice, clean and spacious. Having our own enclosed garden was perfect to our dog. Kitchen is well equipped. Owners were very helpful. We will be back next year! Good dining options within a few miles. WiFi is good, smart TV was a bonus.
Very comfortable, private and cosy cottage with enclosed garden which was great for our dog. Location is fantastic for all things Hadrian's Wall, Carlisle and gorgeous countryside and there are plenty of other attractions if you get time. Would like to go back there again.
Cheryl
Excellent cottage and facilities. The pictures on the site do not really do it justice,the cottage was much larger and more attractive, inside and out, than we expected. The owners were really friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome. The location is excellent for walking and history, Hadrians wall is almost on your doorstep and the surrounding countryside is really stunning. We would recommend the cottage and the location to anybody.

Michela
We came last year for a long weekend and liked it so much we booked up again as soon as we got home! Lovely little cottage, owners very friendly and welcoming. Enclosed garden great for the dogs and location is perfect.
Beverley
My children and I had a fabulous break, the owners were wonderful and very helpful.
We loved our family of four, kids 6 & 9 years stay for three nights, cottage had everything we needed. Cooked In two nights. Also used the hot tub, and although it is shared we had no difficulties using it and it was a lovely relaxing addition. The open fire was great, and the owners had stocked with plenty of wood, which lasted our stay. We also stayed with our two dogs agreed by owner, the cottage was perfect for them as it had a secure garden. The rooms were very spacious. The only slight issue we had was that the toilet flush wasnt working very well. Owners there to help if needed.
Maurice
Would be nice to have a window that opens in the main open plan area of The Byre. Otherwise the only option for ventilation is having the door open. The access to The Byre is not really suitable for people with mobility issues. Well equipped holiday home with the benefit of a full size bath and a separate shower.
Amazing
Just got back from a lovely long weekend with my friends we all had a brilliant time relaxing and just enjoying the beautiful surroundings would highly recommend it and the fact that we got to hold and feed the new born lamb's was just fantastic will definitely be going back with my grandchildren next time
Vickie
Had an amazing weekend with my friends we all loved it and said we will definitely be going back with our families
Nicola
The owners were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble, the cottages were finished to a high standard , and we will definitely be going back !
Lovely cottage, very comfortable, loved the log burning stove
Michela
Lovely comfortable cottage, enclosed garden was ideal with having dog. Owners very helpful and quick to respond when we had problem with TV and this was resolved in no time. Water pressure wasn't great but other than that we loved it and will definitely be back.

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP

This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre - NE48 1BT
about 18 Miles
Housing the most fascinating collection of Birds of Prey in the North East this centre is definitely worth a visit if you are staying in the Kielder Water area. Located in Falstone it's easy to get to and makes a great day out for both families and couples.  As well as seeing the amazing birds you can learn all about the captive breeding programme and the excellent work being done there.  Some of the highlights of the day might include watching a Falcon stoop down from the skies at over 100mph and admiring the grace of the Eagles, Kites and Hawks.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 27 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 29 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
