  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.

  The 2 bedroom cottage was absolutely stunning.

  On arrival the owner who greeted us was very helpful. Advised us on a few things (from a distance due to Coronavirus) but was helpful throughout our stay if we needed anything. Very clean to walk in to which is important right now with Coronavirus! The kitchen was well equipped. The living area was very comfortable and cosy. The bedrooms were a good size with 1 ensuite and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Our room was lovely with the patio doors opening out onto the garden. The large garden area with lovely patio seating was wonderful to sit out in....the large lawn was loved by our 2 dogs too and very safe as it was all fenced in. All cooking utensils provided so good for self catering. (Our only feed back is to check plates, bowls, cups and glasses as we did find mugs and cups with chips in them. Of which we returned 2 of the mugs but found more chipped cups) But other than that it's a fabulous place to stay. Some nice dog walks locally too, especially back across the railway line and down to the station...a nice quiet walk. The Duke Of Cumberland Pub is about a 10 minute drive, but highly recommended for meals. We would certainly stay here again!

  Swift cottage is lovely, just what we needed.

  It was very comfortable and clean and a great base for our trip away. The host is great, and informative. The hot tub was fab, and how we spent our evenings. I was there with a friend and my dog. There was plenty of lovely local walks, Talkin Tarn Country Park was a favourite. The walk along the lake was beautiful, and the coffee and cakes from the tearoom were delicious, it's only a 5 minute drive away from the cottage. Miltonrigg woods is also a lovely walk, it's within walking distance from the cottage. Milton itself is quite a quiet place, and if you aren't into walking there's Brampton which is only a few minutes from swift cottage. There's plenty pubs, restaurants and shops there. The Cranston food market is amazing! I bought lots of nice meats from there to take home. The Bite cafe and gallery was our favourite place to eat out. This was my second visit to swift cottage, and I plan on returning soon.

  We had a lovely short break at The Chalet.

  It was nice to arrive to a welcome gift. The fire was made up and plenty of wood to use.. thank you. The microwave plate didn't turn so couldn't use it, and the toilet was a little wobbly! That said the hot tub was great and the views were amazing. We nearly didn't chose this stay due to other reviews regarding the road. It would be good to see if all the occupants could club together to maintain the access road. It is a tight bend with lots of pot holes, but it's not impossible to navigate. If people are wanting a peaceful, comfortable stay right on the cobbled beach, then this is the place. We loved sitting in the front room, simply watching the sea crashing and relaxing in the warmth. Wonderful.

  Fantastic cottage, spacious and clean.

  Good amenities, lovely large kitchen/dining room/lounge with log burner- you could help yourself to extra logs for £4 a bag and just leave the money when you leave. Our two Boston Terriers loved the big enclosed garden and we loved the large courtyard where you can park right outside your door. Great location to visit Hadrian’s wall, Gretna Green etc and loads of walks, parks, hills and forests nearby. Great pub serving lovely food, The Howard Arms a short drive away in Brampton and a cracker The Samson Inn in Gilsland where we ate after Hadrian’s wall at Housesteads. All in all a fab stay, we even asked to stay an extra night and luckily they had availability. Highly recommended.
