The Stable

Fabulous stay! Cosy cottage, furnished to a high standard, very comfortable, lovely welcoming owner and ideally placed to explore fascinating places including Hadrians Wall. 5 all the way, very highly recommended as has always been our experience over the years we have been booking through Sykes!

Lovely cottage, host was very welcoming and everything was very clean, couldnt fault it.

Ideal spot for a break for two people. Cottage was cosy and clean with everything you would need. Owner was lovely and helpful. Would return again anytime.

Everything was as it should be. Rural location and only a 15 min walk to Brampton station where there was a good rail service including evenings to and fro Carlisle . Only moan was the water pressure was low and not really practical to fill the bath but the shower was spot on so it didn't matter. I'd certainly return for another stay.

This cottage is small, luckily I was alone with a dog. The decking right outside the door is shaky and you can see bricks have been placed to try provide some support. The handrail in front of the decking is rotten and unsafe, I leaned on it and it moved away from the deck post. The conservatory had a fly paper hanging with lot if dead flies on when i arrived, and it was full of flies, i had to go into Brampton and by fly spray. The new conservatory door had spacers packing the door glass, which was ok for first day, but when rain started it was coming into the conservatory. The living room, bedroom nd bathroom are good enough for 2 people, but the kitchen is bad. It is only wide enough for 1 person, if you are at the cooker and need to open fridge or other cupboard you can't you have to move right out of kitchen to access anything. Ok for 1 person. Location is good. Needs a good clean

The stable was very nice and cosy. The owners seemed very nice and gave you the privacy to have a great time. would deffo stay there again

Everything was good, would definitely visit again in the future.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay at the Stable. Well equipped cottage. Kitchen is very small and tight but provides the features required.

We had lovely welcome from the owner and the cottage was stunning we will definitely be coming again

Excellent property for a couple. The bed very comfortable, also a cosy living area and lovely conservatory. Don't be put off by the outside fencing etc which needs a little TLC. We had one minor problem and Mabel the owner was around within seconds and sorted it. Mabel could not do enough for you she was an excellent host.

Great cottage, this was my second stay at the property. It has everything I wanted for a short break, comfortable bed, log fire and even a hot tub if Id wanted to use it! I have recommended this property to my friends.

Love the cottage but had to drive to the nearest shops. Otherwise we loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay at the stables and the host was lovely and knowledgeable of local area. Great little cottage converted from old stablesbarn. Quiet location which is ideally suited for base to explore borders, Hadrian's wall and Roman ruins, Kielder forest and the Lake District all within an hour's drive. We would definitely go back there and are already thinking about rebooking.

Had an amazing stay the Cottage was great would definitely recommend staying there. Thank you!

The cottage itself was clean, comfortable and cosy, the problem was the hot tub. We only booked this cottage because of the inclusion of a hot tub. My partner works in care and she was looking forward to spending plenty of time in the hot tub with the jets on to relieve the pain in her back and legs. We attempted to use the hot tub on the Sunday afternoon, the water was hot, only one or two of the of the jets were working, very disappointing, pretty much useless, there was one filter fitted the other was discarded on the grass besides the hot tub, there were a few valves not fitted and we found them in the cabin adjacent, the control panel was worn and some of the the buttons unresponsive. All in all the hot tub was in need of a very good clean and a lot of maintenance and repair, to be honest I think it would be more cost effective to replace. The cabin by the hot tub was also in need of a lot of maintenance and repair. I think you should remove the hot tub from your description of the accommodation until it is in a good state of operation as this is tantamount to false advertising, its not right to say there is a hot tub if it is not working.

Fantastic accommodation in a great location and very reasonably priced.

The only thing bad was the shared hot tub and it needs a lot of maintenance to bring it to good working order

Cottage is small but comfy. Bed linen clean. Towels somewhat small for showerbath. Heated towel rail. Easy to chat to key holder and pick up leave key. Property suited our needs for 3 night stay.

The Stable is lovely and cosy. Massive bath as well as a shower. Yes you can see the trains go by but you can barely hear them even from outside. The conservatory was lovely to sit in when the weather wasn't great, before moving to the living room and lighting the log burner. Kitchen has everything you need. Perfect location for exploring Hadrian's Wall.

Very pleasant owners who were very helpful and kind. The cottage was really nice and comfy and had everything we needed.

A fantastic cottage for 2 adults. Small and cosy. Very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Host was very helpful and friendly. A great base for exploring the local area and not far from Carlisle. Local Co op in Brampton 5 mins drive away. Would recommend.

Very small living quarters the pictures make it look bigger. Bed was suppose to be a double but was more like 4ft very cold accomadation and my partner had to sleep on floor.Miles away from anywhere and the area is a hole.

Stayed in the small cottage 'The Stable' 2 adults and dog Excellent little place to stay. The cottage is perfect size for a couple. Clean, warm, well equipped and welcoming. Great location for exploring the area, Gretna 25 mins away, Carlisle 15 mins away, hadrians wall 20 mins away. Will definitely be returning for a break in the summer!

Fantastic place, warm, cosy and well equipped. Really friendly and welcoming. Ideal location to visit all surrounding areas.

I absolutely loved my stay at the stable. It was really cosy, clean and in the most perfect location for walking through the rspb reserve, gelt woods, talkin tarn etc. However I was without WiFis until Tuesday and I had arrived on Friday. It was resolved in the end and the lady did try her best to fix it, I should found it frustrating as I expected to have access to wifi throughout the stay. I didnt enjoy spending the amount of time I did messing on with box trying to get it working. in addition I felt a few more supplies were needed in the cottage, washing up tablets, tea, coffee, spare batteries for the tv as I had to make extra trips out as these ran out or werent available during my stay. But besides the WiFi, the location and other facilities were lovely.

Although this cottage is small, it is extremely well appointed. Everything was there that I needed for a weekend stay.

Basic base for sleeping and exploring the area, nothing special about this at all. Curtain tie backs hanging off the wall, and coming out of the wall at times. No vacuum cleaner, fence nearly falling down in the garden. Absolute nothing to do anywhere near this place. No paths to wall on, to take the dog for a walk. Garden not private (still dog mess from the previous canine occupant). Located on a working farm, so farmer and tractor constantly going backwards and forwards near to garden. Owner say you can take your dog down to the field, but to do this, you have to walk past farm sheepdogs, half hanging out of what looks like very small, rough kennels (did not even look large enough to be classed as kennels), which I found upsetting. Not particularly friendly owners. Would not go back, and would not recommend. Photos on Sykes are misleading.

Nice little cottage, its got everything we needed and our dog loved it too. doesnt have an enclosed garden to let the dog out into but its a very quiet little village. would book again. cheers

Very nice and quiet little cottage to stay in, owners were very helpful and friendly, would definitely book again if we were in the area.

Lovely location and kind hosts. A great place to explore Hadrians Wall and surrounding countryside. Would definitely stay there again.

The accommodation was outstanding in all ways. The comfort was second to none. We enjoyed the peace and tranquil environment which was made better by the log burner in the sitting room. All I can say is Thank you for making our stay so homely. Graham & Tinia Pennie

Beautiful farm house and the owners are lovely

The cottage was just what we needed quite and relaxing the bath was lovely and water was very hot not something you always get on holiday. Also well placed for exploring the area we had a fab break.

We found this to be simple but beautiful & cosy, perfect romantic getaway. Very peaceful with use of a hot tub and summerhouse, it was a delight and well recommended.

Have a brilliant time. Other guests were nice and polite. The owner was so welcoming. Would definitely go back.

The Stables was a lovely comfortable cottage. There were beautiful walks nearby and quite a good bus service from Brampton. The owners were very welcoming. All in all, it was a super break.

Flowers left for the lovely woman who made our stay great xx

Lovely cottage, excellent centre for visiting different areas, Lakes, Hadrians Wall, beautiful countryside all around. Great local pubs at Hallbankgate and Talkin. Will definitely go back.
