    “Booked this property largely due to the great reviews and lovely photos.”

    Easy to find, the road leading to the property is very bumpy but manageable. Easy to park right outside with lots of space. There is an enclosed paddock for dogs but be aware it isn't attached to the house like a garden would be. Shower room is a decent size and very modern. We did have some issues with the hot water which the owner sorted out however no contact details were left in the property so we had to go through Sykes which meant waiting around.

    Easy to find, the road leading to the property is very bumpy but manageable. Easy to park right outside with lots of space. There is an enclosed paddock for dogs but be aware it isn't attached to the house like a garden would be. Shower room is a decent size and very modern. We did have some issues with the hot water which the owner sorted out however no contact details were left in the property so we had to go through Sykes which meant waiting around. Sykes did follow up to check all was resolved which was good. No welcome hamper or goodies on arrival. The living room/kitchen/bedroom etc are all upstairs which allows for beautiful views of the countryside. It was generally lovely and quiet although you are connected to the owners house so you can hear some noise as not soundproof but nothing too bad. The bedroom is small but the bed is huge. This property gets hot very quickly and holds the heat well so much so it was sometimes a bit too hot to sleep. The wifi worked well. All in all we loved our stay here and would recommend this property. It is an average size for 2 people and a dog. The lovely farm dog is very patient and friendly even with our grumpy border terrier :-) The TV is a smart tv which is great and the log burner allows for cosy evenings. I would suggest you need a car to stay here as it is a bit remote. The town is about a 5 minute drive away but the roads around the cottage aren't really suitable for pedestrians. Thank you for a lovely stay, it was clean and comfortable, just what we wanted.

About the location

LONGTOWN

Gretna Green 7.7 miles; Carlisle 8.5 miles; Brampton 11 miles; Dumfries 27.5 miles

A delightful, well-stocked town in northern Cumbria that runs alongside the River Esk. Longtown is a fantastic base for a holiday as it comes in the centre of four Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Solway Coast AONB, the Northumberland National Park, North Pennines AONB and the Lake District National Park.The local area offers a pleasant range of shops, pubs and restaurants for you to choose from. There are some beautiful places nearby, offering even more places to go and things to do. Brampton and Carlisle are nearby with beautiful buildings. As Longtown is so close to Scotland, it would be rude not to visit Dumfries and Galloway. Edinburgh and Glasgow are just over an hours drive away.
