First time away with our dog and could not have picked a better place. Anne(owner/host) very welcoming and cannot do enough for you. Plenty of logs for the fire, bottle of wine, fresh eggs, caramel shortcake what a welcome package, don’t think you would get this type of welcome from many places. The lodge was lovely, all the amenities you could need and more, plenty of fresh towels and bedding, the view from the living room was amazing. I found the whole place and surroundings so peaceful even though you are staying beside over 20 racehorses, dogs and chickens. It wasn’t even a problem if you wanted to visit the horses and the staff were very friendly. Great place, I would definitely go back.

Anne responded very quickly to our last minute booking. We had a comfy and private stay. Heating is night storage and log burner so it takes 24 to get the house up to temp but from then on was cozy.

Host was very friendly. View was nice. Area was peaceful. Good heating in bedrooms. Log burner was lovely and needed to keep lounge warm.

It was lovely to arrived to a bottle of wine and some shortbread. The place itself is cosy with everything you could possibly need!

Fabulous mini break in peace and tranquility. Love the property with log burner and stunning views towards the tarn. Perfect!!!!! Returning again later in the year. Thankyou Anne.

We were welcomed by the owners, who are very friendly. After showing us into our cottage we were left alone to enjoy our stay. There was a lovely welcome gift of wine, milk and doughnuts. We were very lucky with weather and enjoyed walking around the tarn and sitting on the patio sipping a gin. It was interesting staying 9n a horse racing stables and we were welcome to visit the horses.

Fantastic property very comfortable and well furnished. Amazing views across to the tarn and a lovely walk to the tarn from the village. Had a brilliant time despite the weather.

We enjoyed seeing the horses on our walks by with the dogs. They are quite inquisitive and majestic. Very close to Hadrian's Wall and fantastic tea rooms at Lanercost. Anne is a considerate and generous host.
