    We were so impressed with how spacious and luxurious both the downstairs and upstairs was and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed.

    The accommodation was just perfect with a beautiful Christmas tree and a truly magnificent welcome pack, including a delicious birthday cake too. We could not have chosen a better venue!

  • "Would definitely recommend."

    A wonderful dog friendly cottage and the welcome pack was the best we have ever had including home made cakes. Everything we asked for was provided and the owners even tried to help with finding someone to look after the dogs for an evening. Such a relaxing stay as the garden was totally dog safe and the cottage decor just hit the right note of luxury but was still comfortable.

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're absolutely thrilled you all enjoyed your stay and that you found it comfortable for dogs and humans alike!.. We're delighted you chose our cottage for your friendly get together and would love to welcome you back in the future! Property Owner

  • "We loved our stay at Ghyll Park Farm - it is definitely much better than the description and pictures suggest - so spacious and finished to a very high standard."

    Communication with the host was excellent! We particularly loved looking out on the lambs in the field in front. Plenty of the attendees mentioned that they'd like to bring their own families along. Only two things that could have improved out stay: 1. A toast rack!, and 2. Instructions on how to change the central heating temperature set-point - it was set to 21 degrees and we were very warm and couldn't find anything in the welcome information about how to unlock the heating panels.

    Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, we're delighted you enjoyed your stay, accommodation and the views to our paddocks with young lambs! Thank you also for your two suggestions, very helpful to us and easily done, we shall action these straight away! ATB Shiri Property Owner
