“We loved our stay.”

Such a clean, cozy and relaxing cottage. Perfect location at the intersection of Northumberland, Cumbria and Scotland, so great for hiking (Hadrians wall) and trail running, sightseeing, roman history, traditional pubs, Gretna Green, and whisky tasting!

Mr&mrs September 2023

“Tight Lyne Cottage is the perfect peaceful holiday retreat.”

Peaceful, immaculately clean, modern and comfortable, although not very suitable for a disability as living/sleeping area is upstairs and shower/toilet is downstairs by the entrance. Hi Situated within an area with plenty of places to visit, walks and of course Hadrians Wall. If there was one draw back it was the lack of an iron and ironing board. Also no hairdryer supplied. Otherwise a really lovely place.

- Mr&mrs, September 2023
Louise September 2023

“We had the perfect stay in Tight Lyne Cottage.”

The property is beautifully designed to a high standard, spotlessly clean, a super comfy bed and very dog friendly with a private walled paddock for your pet. David is a wonderful host and Pip the farm dog is a gem, welcoming our two terriers to her patch and even taking them for a swim. Some properties say they are dog friendly, but Tight Lyne certainly is. The cottage is perfectly placed to visit Hadrian's Wall, the Lakes and the coast, we recommend St Bees for the beach. We will certainly stay again.

Lesley August 2023

“Lovely stay in a very quaint well equipped cottage.”

So beautifully decorated and an extremely comfortable bed. Fishing for hubbie was a bonus. Our Labrador enjoyed having her own paddock and it was lovely to be able to sit out and relax in the sunshine. David was an excellent host and not forgetting Pip coming for a fuss too. Thoroughly recommend this little cottage, very peaceful but central for travelling around Cumbria.

“We had a wonderfully relaxing last minute stay at Tight Lyne Cottage.”

Both the property owner and Sykes were extremely accommodating in allowing our booking on the same day. We really wanted a peaceful, quiet New Year away from fireworks with our precious pooch and we got exactly that. Tight Lyne Cottage is snug, cosy, clean and has everything we needed. Thank you!

- Katie, December 2022

Amy April 2021

“This cottage is absolutely perfect, cleaned to a really high standard with modern facilities and a big super king bed, it's quirky layout having the bathroom downstairs and the bedroom and living area upstairs allows for the beautiful views to be enjoyed from morning till night.”

The owner David is so friendly and kind and pip his dog just steals the show, she is so beautiful. The cottage is on a working farm but does not impact negatively at all, In fact it adds to the setting. It is within reach of many places including Ullswater, Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall, Aire Waterfall, Cockermouth, Gretna, to name but a few (max an hour from the farm) . We would highly recommend, it was a fabulous stay. A gem of a find. Thankyou

James August 2020

“The cottage has a slightly quirky lay out where the bulk of accomadation is up stairs with the bath room down stairs, Having said that it is very well fitted out with everything you need for your stay the decor is relaxing and well thougt out.”

The cottage is at the end of a lane and is there for quite secluded and very peaceful with good veiws over the fields and river that runs close by with the use of a medium sized garden area perfect for dogs to run around in. My wife and I enjoyed our stay with our two dogs and would certainly go there again.

- James, August 2020
David August 2020

“Cottage so scrupulously clean and furbished to a very high standard.”

Peaceful and quiet yet close enough to the A7 to give very convenient access to tourist areas. The separate garden for the house was great.

- David, August 2020
John August 2020

“The cottage is really lovely peaceful and quiet.”

John really enjoyed being able to fish only yards from the front door. The cottage was very clean and we enjoyed our stay, being on a farm you could hear the cows sometimes ,were not that loud to be honest, they did not disturb us at all. Good base for visiting the areas around. We have already booked July 2021. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy.

- John, August 2020
Paul July 2020

“We had a lovely peaceful week at Tight Lyne Cottage, it was perfect from start to finish, well maybe except the beautiful British weather.”

The owner is around if needed but doesn’t intrude, the facilities immaculately clean, with everything you need...well maybe a DVD player might have been useful , but other than that it was fab. Huuugge bed to stretch out over. The resident animals are curious but ever so quiet. Well recommended!
