What our customers say about their holidays

  Great facility to get away for a few days.

  Maintenance: Only thing I would suggest sorting out is adding some clear or white silicone sealant to the back of the sink to prevent water damage to the back of the cupboard. Suggestion: One additional toilet roll might be worth adding in the storage cupboard especially as Sunday was a "no go" day with the high winds and rain plus that unexpected "time of month". Travel: There were no shops nearby to get those essential supplies baring in mind we did not have transport. It took an hour and fifty minutes to walk to the BP station on A69, the first day, and one hour to Hayton village on our way home where there may have been some essentials on offer. It was closed on the Monday so we didnt find out. By car, a doddle so don't be put off. For information: the route to Hayton takes you to the A69 and a bus stop to get to Brampton or Carlisle via the 635 bus. This is closer than to the BP garage where the Spar is. Hot tub a must. With dressing gowns and slippers provided, an evening outside is even more relaxing. Unless you have transport, this holiday is for the keen walker. We related to both. Owners were exceptionally helpful and provided some excellent help and advice. Thank you Claire. I rarely return to places as I love travelling but I would return here. It is slightly on the pricey side but with the place to yourself in the middle of nowhere it's worth it. Overall a very cosy place with great outlook. Well equipped for such a small space but used effectively there is plenty of space.

  If you are looking for total peace and relaxation Cherry Croft is ideal.

  The property is tastefully finished to a high standard, and includes modern touches like electric sockets with USB ports, and smart TVs. Although there are neighbouring properties nearby you do not feel at all overlooked. We spent two weeks doing nothing but walking, sitting in the garden and, on rainy days, watching the tide going in and out across the Solway Firth. The RSPB Campfield Marsh is a couple of minutes walk away and well worth a visit. Although there are no local shops and the fridge/freezer is a little on the small size (especially if you have to feed two sons in their 20s!) ASDA will deliver groceries, so it wasn't too much of a problem. The owners are lovely - on hand if you need them, but not intrusive. There are a couple of little things we noticed - there are no tall glasses for lemonade / beer, and there were very few cleaning products - especially toilet cleaner or bleach. Having stayed for two weeks, I would have liked to do a thorough clean before leaving. Also, we were lucky enough to have some really sunny days, but in the evening the heat makes sitting in the armchair quite uncomfortable, so maybe a blind or curtain on the side window would be a good idea. Overall though, we had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend this property.

  This is both the best holiday accommodation and most dog friendly accommodation we have stayed in.

  The property was beautifully appointed and had so many great dog friendly facilities. As owners of a large dog, we were delighted that the garden was properly secure (high fences) and spacious. There were also a selection of dog bowls, a hamper of dog towels and a hamper of dog blankets for the furniture, if you have a sofa dwelling dog. The kitchen was very well equipped, with excellent quality kitchen ware. A great bonus is the upstairs entertainment room, with a massive TV, XBox, DVDs,CDs, books and a computer desk with monitors. The beds were comfortable, the showers were large with good water pressure, the towels were soft and there were even slippers and robes. Having stayed out of season, we were glad it was nice and warm in the house. I can imagine, it would be lovely to sit out in the garden in the summer. It is also in a great location; Wigton, nearby has good facilities, Carlisle is only 20 minutes or so up the road, or head south for the Lakes, north for Hadrian’s Wall, or west for the coast.

  The owner, Janet was very friendly and accommodating on our arrival.

  We explained we were between moving houses and had quite a few bags in our car. To save cluttering our space with our extra belongings, Janet kindly provided some storage space elsewhere during our stay, this was great as we didn’t have to worry about keeping it in the car either! The accommodation was completely spotless and the kitchen had everything you could need. So much information listed in the information pack provided. The area itself was very quiet and peaceful (day and night) resulting in some great nights sleep. The owners were only a knock (or text!) away if we ever needed anything. The chickens were an enjoyable bonus to simply watch wandering around the garden or sat waiting to greet you by the doorstep. It was also nice to have the unexpected welcome pack with some delicious goodies on arrival too! Thanks again for a great stay

  We stayed here for 4 nights and it was fantastic!

  Janet and her chickens welcomed us upon arrival. There were plenty of resources in the cottage plus welcoming snacks, toilet roll and hand soap etc. We didn’t find the sofa as comfortable as we’d have liked too especially as we rarely left the cottage and were staying a number of nights. We’d have also loved to have a coffee table but did manage without. The chicken’s were very friendly and loved stayed outside the front door. Plenty of parking and given plenty of towels including for the kitchen as well as bathroom. We enjoyed an evening walk as well and looking at the beautiful greenery surround the cottage. The whole cottage was absolutely immaculate and well looked after! It was quiet and didn’t hear cars very often - only the chickens from time to time when they came to visit us. Thank you for a lovely stay! ☺️
