“This holiday home appears to be a new venture in which the owners have given a lot of thought.”

The house was very comfortable and extremely well equipped with some thoughtful extras. The only downside for us was the Sky television which we are unfamiliar with and needed passwords to access some viewing - but the essentials were there.

“Lovely bungalow on the edge of a very peaceful village.”

Lovely, big living area, very comfy beds and secure garden at rear, which was really important for our dog (he escaped from another cottage garden last year!). The only (very slight) negative was the low pressure shower, but not a deal breaker for us to stay again. A nice welcome basket with biscuits, chocolate etc and even one for the dog. Great butchers in the village I would recommend, lots of lovely fresh food. Didn't go in the local pub but had a nice beer garden. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a peaceful place to stay.

“Honister in Great Orton is a lovely cottage/bungalow with a private drive and is very clean and comfortable with quality furniture and fittings throughout.”

Also, its as tidy and cared for outside as it is inside. Its perfect for a retired couple like ourselves, and an ideal property for families with young children and pets. The rear, secure garden and patio area is perfect for children to play safely and there's a bonus of a large games room for rainy days. Honister is on the outskirts of the village with beautiful view of mountains and fields. The neighbours are very friendly and welcoming and you can also be sure of a warm welcome from the owners of the Wellington Inn which is literally a 2 minute walk away, where we enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast. Thank you Simon and Susan for the welcome pack and pet treats. We had a lovely relaxing time and are hoping to book again for next. Over the years we have stayed in aprox 20 properties through Syke and I can honestly say that Honister is one of the best accommodation we have stayed in. Many thanks to you, Simon and Susan.

About the location

CARLISLE

Gretna Green 13.1 miles; Penrith 19.9 miles; Dumfries 36.2 miles

Carlisle is set in the county of Cumbria, situated just 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders and is nicknamed the Border City. During Roman times the town was established to serve the forts for Hadrian's Wall, which runs east from the city across the country to Wallsend on the east coast and today is recognised as a World Heritage Site. During the Middle Ages, due to its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold and Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, after once serving as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the early 12th century Henry I allowed the foundation of a priory in Carlisle and the town gained the status of a diocese in 1122, resulting in the priory becoming Carlisle Cathedral. The Settle to Carlisle railway runs across some of the most breathtaking scenery to the popular Yorkshire town and Carlisle Racecourse has a packed fixture list including Ladies’ Day and evening fixtures. Within driving distance is the Victorian seaside town of Silloth and just over the border is Gretna Green, where you'll find the Gretna Gateway Shopping Centre and Anvil Hall, the famous wedding venue.
