Cathryn

Lovely stay . Didnt use hot tub as water needed changing but apart from that everything was good. Would stay again

Tracey

Wonderful , clean, comfortable cottage. .. all you need , friendly welcome , used the hot tub no problems it being shared with other cottages, it was available when we wanted to use it ... fantastic break , plenty to do in the area... even in the rain ! Highly recommend

Fantastic getaway, very quiet and peaceful good surrounding pubs although you have to drive,

Christine

Comfortable cottage, friendly owners. Pleasant location with lovely local walks and town centre. It

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.

Claire

The location was fantastic, the owners were more than welcoming. Beautiful cottage that had everything, the owners thought of everything. Thank you very much would definitely recommend The Byre.

Great location for quit relax base for a wedding at Gretna green only a drive away. . didn't get chance to try out the hot tub or bbq but was great to relax on the decking
