Fauld Retreat Reviews

Stephen
Beautiful property. Amazing BBQ hut and wood fired hot tub. Perfect place to unwind in peace and tranquility even in November. Dogs loved the large well enclosed garden.
Michael
We had a lovely stay at this property. It was finished to a very high standard and was very comfortable and well equipped. Warming the water in the hot tub takes more logs and longer than we expected so start early!
Andrew
A great property, lovely garden, kids and dog loved it. In peaceful location only a short drive to facilities. Would definitely recommend
Sharon
Stunning cottage that is situated in a good location with easy access to Carlisle and Gretna. Beautifully decorated and loved the quirky light settings. The hot tub was amazing but needed a bag of wood to get it going properly. The BBQ hut was our favourite and again loved the little extras of tv, cushions and blankets. On our final day the field wRead moree had the company of a herd of cows which was lovely as they were very inquisitive !! Hide
Kerry
Absolutely beautiful place to stay, the accommodation was to very high standards you couldnt fault it. The bbq hut was brilliant we had the odd rainy evening but that did not stop us from having a bbq due to having this facility. The hot tub is a nice touch too specially after a long walk around the lakes, very relaxing!! Definitely would recommendRead more and I would love to return Hide
Haleema
Great location! We were recommended this cottage by holiday cottages as our previous booking was cancelled last minute with a different cottage. The main purpose of our trip was to visit Lake District and in fairness wasnt too long of a journey. The owner was easy to contact and helped us set up the hut and jacuzzi.

Beautifully presented house, very modern and clear attention to detail. The bbq hut was amazing as was the hot tub (although it did take us a while to get the hang of it!) The location was lovely and peaceful with lots of little towns nearby. Highly recommend the crown and thistle at Rockcliffe for a meal out! All in all a fabulous break away and tRead morehe kids loved all the outside space as did the dogs. We will definitely be back! Hide

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 6 Miles
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 21 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 23 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...
Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ

Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles.
