It is a nice little court yard of holiday cottages with good parking.. Dove cottage has a decent sized garden which our dog loved. It is south facing so we had the sun all day just right for a barbecue in the evening. We found it in a good area for walking the dog and getting out and about. The cottage is very cosy and the bed very comfortable.

Mrs Porter, September 2020

Lovely cottage,couldn`t fault anything.. Very clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. Perfect for a quiet break away from it all,but close enough to explore the sights in the area if you want to do more.

We had a lovely holiday, really comfortable cottage, perfect size for the two of us and our two dogs.. Peaceful and quiet despite being August. Great having a good-sized enclosed garden for the dogs and to sit out with morning coffee in the sunshine. Beautiful surrounding area with lots of places to walk and visit, despite Covid this year. Thank you.

The cottage, on a working farm, is really comfortable.. Good location if you want peace. Not far from small town with good facilities, and bigger city of Carlisle. Very convenient for exploring the Roman Wall. Controllable heating, with wood burner stove for cosy evenings. There are several cottages around the courtyard and they have been nicely converted from the old red sandstone farm buildings. Well thought out and good finishings. Had everything we needed. Particularly like that it is pet friendly as we took our dog, but you wouldn't readily know that other dogs had been. Very helpful and friendly hosts. Highly recommend if you like a countryside location.

This cottage could do with providing a vacume cleaner, and the fence need some repair, before it blow over in the wind..

Pre contact and key hand over was excellent and easy.. Dove cottage provided every comfort we could have wished for. Well equipped, clean, warm and cosy, we were so impressed on arrival. Always hot water, good heating and very comfortable bed. Would happily return in future, and recommend to anyone who likes this area, or wants to explore a new place.

Beautiful cosy cottage with stunning country views from the large back garden.. . Everything needed was provided, bed very comfortable, bath very large and water always hot. Lovely log fire used everyday re being away in December, first logs free, then £4 for basket renewal. The owner Mable was very attentive and informative, and was always on hand if needed as she lives on the farm. Would definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family

Miss Devine

We have just returned from a great week at Dove cottage.. Such a lovely quaint cottage, very clean and furnished to a high standard. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners as were our dogs which was very important to us. We have already booked again for next year :)

Mrs Hoare

August 2018

Warm greeting from host.. Comfortable cottage with good bed etc. Very clean . How ever a few irritating things would have made this nice cottage perfect. Towels were very small. No hairdryer ( though there was an iron ___ who irons on holiday !! ) or tissues. No shower gel . Bathroom only had hand soap. Very limited cutlery . No welcome pack of milk etc on arrival . We had to head out and shop before we could have a cuppa as only tea bags and sugar in the cupboards. After. 6 hour journey tea would have been good. Nothing to make decent coffee in ( we went out and bought a cafetière). This sounds like a moan. It’s not. The cottage is lovely. Our holiday was not spoiled in any way by the anomalies . These are suggestions to make this a top notch place to stay.

What a wonderful restful retreat.. Excellent standard of furnishing, very clean and fully equipped including plenty of toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets! Owner very friendly and helpful - replaced broken sun umbrella the next day. Plenty of walks around the area and ideal for discovering the history of Hadrian's Wall. We will return!

Mrs Padmore

The lady who owned the cottage was really friendly even before we travelled when confirming and answering queries we had about our stay.. The cottage was within an hour of the lakes and within a shorter distance to Northumberland. We are thinking about going back next year.

Mr Gibson

March 2018

The atmosphere was lovely.. Very dog friendly.. lovely owners.. wish we were still there. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone. And we will be back.

Mrs Perrin Snowden

Great little barn conversion, we stayed here with a newborn and dog and there was plenty of room for us all.. Although only 1 bedroom, the bedroom was big enough for our travel cot and our bags on the floor without it feeling cramped. We did push the sofa back in the living space to allow us more space to put the dog bed in front of the fire. The kitchen had most things we needed, dishwasher tablets and are provided. There’s also a big microwave, something we now look for due to sterilesing bottles. The garden is brilliant, nice and big and because we were treated to the arrival of some sun for our 2 day stay we even got to enjoy the garden as well. It has amazing views over the fields.

Mr Pattison

February 2018

Wouldn’t hesitate recommending this cottage to anyone.. It was comfortable, clean, modern and everything you need is catered for. The owner was very friendly and informative. Lovely walks not too far away and the fact that it was dog friendly was a bonus for us.

This cottage was lovely! We brought our spaniel with us who absolutely loved running around in the large enclosed garden. This cottage would also be perfect for people who don't have dogs too, it was warm and inviting, we had such a brilliant week!
