What our customers say about their holidays

  We were in the area earlier than the 4pm check in and we called Danielle to see if we could arrive a little bit early, She checked with the cleaner and then called us back to say it was ready early for us, which was a nice start to our break.

  When we arrived we were greeted by Danielle and her two lovely dogs and she told us about the hot tub, walks in the area and places to eat nearby, all extremely helpful. The cottage was spotless! You could see it had been deep cleaned ready for us, we found a lovely bottle of prosecco and some home made rocky road brownies waiting for us in the kitchen which was a nice touch by the owners. The cottage was warm, cosy and right next to the river Esk. The hot tub was huge and great to relax in on a night with a glass of bubbles ! We had a newly built viewing area down some steps over looking the river, this would be lovely on a warm morning/evening to sit and watch the wild life. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of wardrobe space, could have done with more hangers in the wardrobe and one of the roller blinds was broken, no pully to open/shut the blind. Bathroom was light and airy and has a very good shower, plenty of towels (even though we took our own too), the shower glass door is very loose and can open so water can go on the floor, this needs attention. Kitchen was a great size and had plenty of cupboards but few glasses, only 1 wine glass and no prosecco glasses. It has two plastic glasses for out side but not great to drink out of while chilling in the living room, and needs a blind at the front door window. Outside area was relaxing and plenty of wood and matches for the chimenea, it does have a small two seater wicker sofa but the cushions had been left out so they were wet and mouldy, not sure why these weren't brought into the cottage ? so we couldn't use that seating area. We are been a little picky with these issues but they are so small and could be easily remedied to make the cottage even better than it is, we will definitely be going back, such a relaxing spot away from everything, just what's needed if you want a chilled out break!

  Green Farm Barn December 2024. Great stay, much enjoyed. Property comfortable, clean and spacious. Wi-Fi excellent. December booking and the Barn was warm enough when thermostat had been located. Bring cleaning products, kitchen roll, shower gel etc. Note the Nespresso machine takes Vertuo capsules (not available to buy locally). Note for dogs owners that the boundary from property to adjacent field is not fenced, but local Covehithe beach is a joy for dogs to run! Read on for caveat re the property letting agency.. Clause 3 of the Booking Ts&Cs enables the Owner/Agent to make changes to your booking. For example I booked and paid my deposit for a 14 day stay over Christmas and New Year. 6 weeks prior to start I received an email from the agency saying that the owner wanted the property for the last 4 days therefore I could only have it for 10 days - or otherwise I could cancel my holiday arrangements and have my deposit returned. Trying to find out an explanation entailed speaking to many different customer representatives as the agency is one of several which I believe have Travel Chapter as the umbrella company. However I had to cut short my holiday and change the arrangements I had made for New Year. Needless to say if you the paying client needs to make any change to the contract then you will pay heavily for it.

  Our stay at Carwinley Mill House Cottage was absolutely wonderful, and we were greeted with a very warm welcome by the owners, then shown around as soon as we arrived.

  The cottage had recently been refurbished and we were completely taken aback by how lovely it looked, by the work that had been done to it, and it's history. It was clean, roomy, and absolutely gorgeous! There was plenty of space for two, and outside, the cottage's position created a perfect sun trap at the top sitting area, which was great for relaxing, plus jacuzzi sessions were made even more enjoyable by the nature that was hiding in and around the trees, and the sound of the river. The second sitting area was a few steps below and opened up onto a lovely decked balcony, overhanging the river. It really couldn't get more tranquil. Longtown is perfect for travelling to Scotland, the Lakes, the border, or exploring further south, and my husband and I stayed at Carwinley Mill House Cottage for a week, which for us, wasn't enough, but we had to come home (although we honestly didn't want to leave!) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we will be booking to stay again. Danielle, Jed, Trevor and Danielle's mum were all so warm and friendly, it really topped off our stay. A huge thank you to you all! We'll be back.

  Lovely peaceful surroundings, hot tub was good when it worked properly.

  WiFi was very poor and worked intermittently. Some maintenance required in the grounds as the trees and bushes are taken over with the banister not available for the full duration of the steep steps down to the decked area at waterside due to brambles and nettles over growing. I would recommend to the owner the installation of some netting at the doors with a magnetic closure in middle, this would allow the freedom of having the French doors open without the worry of allowing too many flies inside, as it is nice to allow the fresh air in. The couch in the livingroom lacks a little support so when you wish to relax inside in the evening it can be difficult without constantly moving cushions around to assist. Although there is room for improvement, this is a lovely place that is only a short drive from the motorway but far away enough away for peace and quiet.

  Our stay at ‘The crows nest’ exceeded our expectation. It’s very well equipped with washing machine / dish washer / airfryer and the private use / sheltered hot tub a welcome soak after a hard days walking. The plates / cups etc are quality and the kitchen well equipped. Location. It is remote, quiet and sitting out with a beverage just hearing birds and sheep total bliss. There’s a pub, shops and restaurants a short drive away. Not in walking distance. There is a 3.5 lovely walk you can do from the house. As you are centrally located we had a wonderful week a mix of walking, hiring bikes. You can hire SUPs or kayaks on Wimbleball lake 30 mins away. We did coastering at Hele bay and sea kayaking in the south coast. You need a car. It’s remote. It’s wonderfully quiet. You can’t walk to restaurants/pubs. WiFi is ok. Phone signal good.
