The Stable

Good accommodation in a location convenient for Hadrian's Wall and the Lake District.

Nice place on a well maintained complex of similar properties.

I agree with a previous review that it definitely needs coat hooks as you walk in; no where to hang your wet outdoor gear. Small kitchen, as expected. Very spacious bedroom. Mattress was comfy but the pillows and duvet were flat, and I didn’t like the lacy cover and pillow cases, bit old fashioned. You can’t beat feather pillows and 100% crisp, white cotton bedding. I couldn’t get the shower to work, but there is plenty of hot water for a deep bath, although it takes a while to fill. The handheld shower attachment to the bath has barely any pressure, just a trickle. I didn’t particularly notice the noise from the trains, however, the road seems to have loud vehicles very early in the mornings. The overall decor isn’t to my preference, but I knew what to expect from the photos. I attempted to walk to the local village/shops, but it was unpleasant cause there are no pavements, however, this is expected in the countryside. Overall it was a pleasant stay. I enjoyed sitting in the conservatory with a glass of wine in the late afternoons.

Thanks for s lovely stay A few things to point out to help improve the property Some coat hooks by the front door for wet coat, Some more cultrey as we only had 3 forks & 3 spoons, The hot tub needs looking at as we had a very loud piecing screeching noise when in use, The bushes on entrance to the hot tub needs trimming back, Also on entrance to the hot tub is a small step, which you don't see in the dark ( it would help to more visible in the dark ) The outside light wasn't working

Wonderful would definitely book again

The cottage was lovely, just what we needed.

The kitchen is tiny, but very usable. The bathroom was spacious and water pressure was good. The living room was comfortable, although I did get covered in, what appeared to be, dog hairs, after sitting down. I suppose this is inevitable if guests with pets don't have the good sense to keep them off of the furniture. We loved sitting in the conservatory to eat our meals, but the addition of a light in that area would have been nice. The outside light didn't work, so we had to use torches for coming and going in the dark. However, none of these points would stop us from booking the same accommodation again, as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property, in a village location, surrounded by a lovely garden and a veranda we’re you can see the sheep and rail crossing, lots of wildlife, or sit in the conservatory we’re the sun warms you.

Lounge has a log burner, kitchen with fridge, cooker, microwave and toaster , bedroom with wardrobe and draws, bathroom had the shower in the bath. WiFi available as well. We took our dog for a walk and came across a lovely wood area

A very quaint cottage/chalet that is warm, clean and extremely comfortable.

This is my second stay here, so that should tell you all that you need to know.

Comfortable 4 night stay.

Ideal size of property for two people. There was a gap in kitchen, next to cooker which was an ideal size for our cat to escape into, which caused a bit of panic, so we had to block this off. Kitchen floor could do with a good clean. Shower and wi-fi good. Dishwasher definitely a bonus. Would stay again as we love this area and ideally situated for Hadrians Wall.

kitchen- so it was dark) we reported it and almost immediately someone came to replace the bulb

Could do with some upgrades such as : - light were dining table is - hoover - brush and dustpan - coathanger - general things in kitchen, utensils, cutlery, pasta sieve etc.

We were very disappointed with our stay at the stable cottage on the 01/08/24 brown stains at bottom of the toilet bed side lamps were dusty cooker not very clean and floor was grubby they put a dish washer in the kitchen when a washing machine would have been better .

for 2 people we had to go to a launderette to get clothes washed at a cost of £30 remote control for the TV did not properly Will not stay in that cottage again Kevin Hagan

Property was clean and cosy and just what we needed .

Peaceful and quiet just what we both needed

The Stable is a perfect retreat to escape the melee of life and simply switch off from the world.

The owners are unobtrusive and leave you to it, although easily contactable if needed. The Stable is very clean, comfortable and is well positioned for easy access to The Lake District, Hadrians Wall and many other treasures around. A real Haven that has access to a Hot tub, so after a day of sight seeing, or simply chilling out, you can relax in it and totally unwind.

Everything was ok apart from the lack of coat rack , had the weather been wet there was nowhere to hang wet coats or anything else Also lacking information about local amenities, doctor, dentist, shops etc Small things but very useful for someone new to the area , Also it's the first time in a holiday let without a welcome pack (carton of milk and loaf of bread if nothing else) otherwise we enjoyed our stay at the barn,

This was the second year we have stayed and we will be booking for our next holiday.

The only thing I would suggest is it would be nice to have some cushions on the settee as I have back issues apart from that great place to stay

A very comfortable cottage in a picturesque location.

We particularly enjoyed sitting in the conservatory. We would hope to be back soon.

A lovely peaceful country location with lots of accessible attractions.

Fabulous stay!

Cosy cottage, furnished to a high standard, very comfortable, lovely welcoming owner and ideally placed to explore fascinating places including Hadrians Wall. 5* all the way, very highly recommended (as has always been our experience over the years we have been booking through Sykes)!

Lovely cottage, host was very welcoming and everything was very clean, couldn’t fault it.

Ideal spot for a break for two people.

Cottage was cosy and clean with everything you would need. Owner was lovely and helpful. Would return again anytime.

Everything was as it should be.

Rural location and only a 15 min walk to Brampton station where there was a good rail service (including evenings) to and fro Carlisle . Only moan was the water pressure was low and not really practical to fill the bath but the shower was spot on so it didn't matter. I'd certainly return for another stay.

This cottage is small, luckily I was alone with a dog.

The decking right outside the door is shaky and you can see bricks have been placed to try provide some support. The handrail in front of the decking is rotten and unsafe, I leaned on it and it moved away from the deck post. The conservatory had a fly paper hanging with lot if dead flies on when i arrived, and it was full of flies, i had to go into Brampton and by fly spray. The "new" conservatory door had spacers packing the door glass, which was ok for first day, but when rain started it was coming into the conservatory. The living room, bedroom nd bathroom are good enough for 2 people, but the kitchen is bad. It is only wide enough for 1 person, if you are at the cooker and need to open fridge or other cupboard you can't you have to move right out of kitchen to access anything. Ok for 1 person. Location is good. Needs a good clean

The stable was very nice and cosy.

The owners seemed very nice and gave you the privacy to have a great time. would deffo stay there again

Everything was good, would definitely visit again in the future.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay at the Stable.

Well equipped cottage. Kitchen is very small and tight but provides the features required.

We had lovely welcome from the owner and the cottage was stunning we will definitely be coming again

Excellent property for a couple.

The bed very comfortable, also a cosy living area and lovely conservatory. Don't be put off by the outside fencing etc which needs a little TLC. We had one minor problem and Mabel the owner was around within seconds and sorted it. Mabel could not do enough for you she was an excellent host.

Great cottage, this was my second stay at the property.

It has everything I wanted for a short break, comfortable bed, log fire and even a hot tub if I’d wanted to use it! I have recommended this property to my friends.

Love the cottage but had to drive to the nearest shops.

Otherwise we loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay at the stables and the host was lovely and knowledgeable of local area.

Great little cottage converted from old stables/barn. Quiet location which is ideally suited for base to explore borders, Hadrian's wall and Roman ruins, Kielder forest and the Lake District all within an hour's drive. We would definitely go back there and are already thinking about rebooking.

Had an amazing stay the Cottage was great would definitely recommend staying there.

Thank you!

The cottage itself was clean, comfortable and cosy, the problem was the hot tub.

We only booked this cottage because of the inclusion of a hot tub. My partner works in care and she was looking forward to spending plenty of time in the hot tub with the jets on to relieve the pain in her back and legs. We attempted to use the hot tub on the Sunday afternoon, the water was hot, only one or two of the of the jets were working, very disappointing, pretty much useless, there was one filter fitted the other was discarded on the grass besides the hot tub, there were a few valves not fitted and we found them in the cabin adjacent, the control panel was worn and some of the the buttons un-responsive. All in all the hot tub was in need of a very good clean and a lot of maintenance and repair, to be honest I think it would be more cost effective to replace. The cabin by the hot tub was also in need of a lot of maintenance and repair. I think you should remove the hot tub from your description of the accommodation until it is in a good state of operation as this is tantamount to false advertising, its not right to say there is a hot tub if it is not working.

The only thing bad was the shared hot tub and it needs a lot of maintenance to bring it to good working order

Fantastic accommodation in a great location - and very reasonably priced.

A great place to stay, very cosy little cottage with everything you need and a great base to go exploring the surrounding area

Cottage is small but comfy.

Bed linen clean. Towels - somewhat small for shower/bath. Heated towel rail. Easy to chat to key holder and pick up/ leave key. Property suited our needs for 3 night stay.

The Stable is lovely and cosy.

Massive bath as well as a shower. Yes you can see the trains go by but you can barely hear them even from outside. The conservatory was lovely to sit in when the weather wasn't great, before moving to the living room and lighting the log burner. Kitchen has everything you need. Perfect location for exploring Hadrian's Wall.

Very pleasant owners who were very helpful and kind.

The cottage was really nice and comfy and had everything we needed.

A fantastic cottage for 2 adults.

Small and cosy. Very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Host was very helpful and friendly. A great base for exploring the local area and not far from Carlisle. Local Co op in Brampton 5 mins drive away. Would recommend.

Very small living quarters the pictures make it look bigger.

Bed was suppose to be a double but was more like 4ft very cold accomadation and my partner had to sleep on floor.Miles away from anywhere and the area is a hole.

Fantastic place, warm, cosy and well equipped.

Really friendly and welcoming. Ideal location to visit all surrounding areas.

The hot tub didn't work and was cold the main reason we booked the cottage Hot tap in bath worked for a little while and had to fill rest with electric shower

nice little cottage, it’s got everything we needed and our dog loved it too.

doesn’t have an enclosed garden to let the dog out into but it’s a very quiet little village. would book again. cheers

I absolutely loved my stay at the stable.

It was really cosy, clean and in the most perfect location for walking through the rspb reserve, gelt woods, talkin tarn etc. However I was without WiFi’s until Tuesday and I had arrived on Friday. It was resolved in the end and the lady did try her best to fix it, I should found it frustrating as I expected to have access to wifi throughout the stay. I didn’t enjoy spending the amount of time I did messing on with box trying to get it working. in addition I felt a few more supplies were needed in the cottage, washing up tablets, tea, coffee, spare batteries for the tv as I had to make extra trips out as these ran out or weren’t available during my stay. But besides the WiFi, the location and other facilities were lovely.

Although this cottage is small, it is extremely well appointed.

Everything was there that I needed for a weekend stay.

Very nice and quiet little cottage to stay in, owners were very helpful and friendly, would definitely book again if we were in the area.

Lovely location and kind hosts.

A great place to explore Hadrian’s Wall and surrounding countryside. Would definitely stay there again.

the accommodation was outstanding in all ways.

The comfort was second to none. We enjoyed the peace and tranquil environment which was made better by the log burner in the sitting room. All I can say is Thank you for making our stay so homely. Graham & Tinia Pennie

Beautiful farm house and the owners are lovely

Nothing

The cottage was just what we needed quite and relaxing the bath was lovely and water was very hot not something you always get on holiday.

Also well placed for exploring the area we had a fab break.

We found this to be simple but beautiful & cosy, perfect romantic getaway.

Very peaceful with use of a hot tub and summerhouse, it was a delight and well recommended.

Have a brilliant time.

Other guests were nice and polite. The owner was so welcoming. Would definitely go back.

The Stables was a lovely comfortable cottage.

There were beautiful walks nearby and quite a good bus service from Brampton. The owners were very welcoming. All in all, it was a super break.

Flowers left for the lovely woman who made our stay great xx

Lovely cottage, excellent centre for visiting different areas, Lakes, Hadrians Wall, beautiful countryside all around.

Great local pubs at Hallbankgate and Talkin. Will definitely go back.

A lovely cottage with great view of sunset from the deck.

Great walks nearby and a very relaxing quiet location. There is a train track for the little local trains and we found it more interesting than distracting when the "very occasional" little train trundled past. Quite quaint actually. The cottage and buildings are quite lovely and gardens well maintained. Frankly we will go again as it is a perfect base to tour the area. Highly recommend this little cottage. Thank again for the hospitality

Very cosy ,,easy to find ,, we would rather have had a washing machine than a dishwasher ( mucky clothes after walking ,wet hills ).

Otherwise we had an extremely enjoyable stay .

The cottage was cosy and the hosts were very informative.

A perfect little break for us 2 and the dog :)

Lovely location and really lovely owners.

Could do with more outside lighting or a torch as it’s hard to get around after dark - all in all a lovely stay!

Really friendly owners was there to greet us on arrival.

Any issues or questions we had was quickly taken care of. Amazing little cottage only small but more than big enough for 2.

The landlord was very helpful and kind.

We loved the area and the cottage was very well maintained. It is a place we will recommend

This property did not have the two pin shaver socket.

Not that we could find.

Great location and well equipted owner was very friendly and made us welcome.

She advised us of local shops and places of interest. The holiday was a great success and we would certainly visit again.

The cottage was just like the pictures.

The lady was extremely helpful and a pleasure to meet

A very warm and friendly welcome with helpful advice on how to use the equipment installed.

Lots of local information and advice on where to go and what to see. We were free to walk our dog around the farm - on his lead, of course - and call at the 'big house' if we needed anything at all. Mabel and John work hard on both the farm and making their guests feel welcome. We have come away feeling relaxed and chilled. Thank you Mabel and John.
