• "A really lovely and comfortable lodge with great facilities- the hot tub and bbq was put to good use and made the stay extra special."

  Would definitely recommend this to others and we appreciated the owners being so friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Shame about the lack of signal and connection, however this is understandable in the environment and didn't affect our stay too much at all :) thanks for having us!

• "It was a joy to have the birds visiting the snug and we were made to feel so welcome."

  Everything was spotlessly clean including the hot tub. Lovely cabin, some sharper knives in the kitchen area would have been great, but can't fault anything else.

• "Loved our stay, a perfect retreat."

  The little river at the bottom of the garden was beautiful and I enjoyed my morning cuppa sat beside it. All small details were included, there was nothing missing in the snug. Perfect. Would definitely return.

• "The holiday was absolutely superb."

  The Snug was warm and cosy. Everything was impeccably clean. And our host could not have done more to make us feel welcome. I could not recommend this venue more. First Class!

• "We had a fantastic few days staying at The Snug, such a peaceful and relaxing place."

  The Snug was small and simple but perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. Relaxing in the hot tub with just the sound of the birds, the stream and eventually the bats flying overhead together with star gazing was just perfect. Our only real criticism was the lack of anywhere to dry towels etc. as the weather was very changeable on our visit. We'd read this on another review so took a bungie line with pegs which we hung behind the chiminea. But it certainly didn't spoil our stay.

• "We had a lovely weekend staying at The Snug."

  The owner was very welcoming and explained all we needed to know for our stay. The shepherds hut was perfect and we had such a relaxing time. If I was to be over critical, the outdoor space could do to be a little tidier, grass cut, fencing painted etc. However this did not spoil our stay at all and we would definitely recommend The Snug to our friends. Good luck with your wedding venue venture

• "Beautiful and very warm little bit of paradise!"

  Would definitely recommend. Spotless and they’d left a bottle of Prosecco for us. Very friendly owners and we were left to come and go as we pleased. Very peaceful location but within a few miles of pub and shops. Hot tub was lovely and the fire pit. They’d thought of everything - picnic kit to take outside and a mirror under the bathroom sink.

• "Loved our stay in the Snug!"

  true to its name, if you love camping you will love this I think we did miss a little oven and stove in it though, the hot tub was the luxury to it but not our thing really but loved the fire pit and was lucky to have a couple of nights sat out with lovely blankets provided, loved the sound of the stream and birds first thing In a morning, so private and quite, visited Carlise, Gretna Green and Hadrians Wall on our stay I would recommend the snug for a break anytime

• "The snug is a very cosy little place!"

  Loved coming back to it after a long day at the Lake District. The host was very welcoming and at hand, always there to answer questions. Everything was straight forward, a few insects and flies around which is understandable as it is the outdoors, but nothing anyone can't handle. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in, everything was clean. The jacuzzi was always hot and ready to use! Wifi could have been better and also more recommendations of places to visit nearby - hence the one star less, but other than that is was an amazing stay. Thank you!

  Thank you for your lovely review Property Owner

• "What a beautiful stay we had in The Snug."

  Its was so cosy and relaxing and more than we expected. It has everything you need to have a relaxing break and we didn't want to come home. I would highly recommend to any couples wanting a break to recharge and get away from it all. The owners Daneille and Trevor, and all the team were so accommodating and even left us a bottle of bubbly on arrival. We will certainly be coming back next year for a weekend recharge. Thank you all so much.

  Thank you for your lovely review .We look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner

• "This little snug is heaven on wheels."

  Situated in an idillic secluded area, this snug was beautiful. Along with the snug was your very own veranda overlooking a stunning beck. There was also an endless supply of logs and we enjoyed the chiminea every night. The hot tub was amazing and fully set up for our arrival. The snug was comfortable and we slept well every night. There was literally everything we needed. We fully intend coming back and can’t thank the owner enough.

  Lovely to read your review and thank you for the lovely card you left .We look forward to seeing you again in the future Property Owner

• "I couldn’t recommend a better stay!"

  ! I had the most incredible weekend for my birthday with my partner. This was 10x more incredible than I expected, the garden was huge and the surrounding was amazing. The shepherds hut was so cosy, comfortable and the interior was beautiful. There was so many little added details which thought was put into making me feel even more welcome. I will 1000% be returning to the Snug. The only small thing it is missing is somewhere to dry your clothes and towels after the hot tub. Like a washing line or even a little drying rack as I was finding it difficult to dry the clothes. I think in summer it would be fine because I could hang these over the fence but I didn’t want to risk it blowing away as the weather isn’t incredible at the moment. Thank you so much for the best stay!!

• "We stayed for 3 nights at The Snug, from 17th to 20th September 2021."

  On arrival we were greeted by a young lady who was very friendly, and showed us to our parking bay, and spoke to us in regards to what we needed to know, for our stay. She also said that she was showing us around as the owners were away. The Snug was very clean, however the grass area had not been freshly cut, which I would have expected, prior to our arrival and the outside table was really dirty, and the chairs had not been washed down - they were dirty too, and covered in leaves. The Snug is advertised as ‘finished to an extremely high standard’, therefore I would have expected this - we thought that maybe because the owners were away, this was missed? We also found that there was no where for our cases. There were drawers under the bed, which were rickety, and hard to open, so we didn’t use them. I also would of liked to have a full length mirror in The Snug (which would have been perfectly situated hung on the inside of the bathroom door). We also felt that there could have been shelves somewhere inside the bathroom, as there was nowhere to put toiletries, which we ended up leaving in our wash bags, which ended up on the little table each day - we just couldn’t keep the place tidy and felt this is most defiantly a place to stay for no longer than one night, maximum two. The towels were very, very disappointing, they were quite small, and very hard/rough. Nice big fluffy towels would have been a nice touch. We also found no where to dry off towels and shorts/swimming costume etc (from the hot tub), therefore I would suggest an area for a clothes line, as this just made the inside of The Snug feel more messy. There were shutters on the windows, however nothing over the glass on the door, or the little window above the bed, therefore we couldn’t really have the full lie in that we were hoping for. The most disappointing part for us was the bed/mattress - we found it really uncomfortable to the point where by day three, we were both struggling, and I ended up pulling a muscle in my neck/shoulder - there was only one pillow each too. Another pillow each should have been an option. We were all ready to make bacon sandwiches one morning, however when we pulled out the portable hob; we found no where to plug in, without removing the microwave from the built in area. The Snug is in a very private area, which is nice and the noise of the river/waterfall is nice to hear too, and of course the hot tub is lovely. We personally thought The Snug was too small for us, especially for a 3 night stay, and although that can’t be changed; we did feel that there could have been some improvements to The Snug to make it much, much better - mainly the bed/mattress. Although it’s not advertised; we also feel that a welcome hamper, bread, milk (not just sachets), butter, jam etc would have been a lovely personal touch, which I’ve experienced in other micro homes - it wouldn’t have cost much, and would be a lovely attribute that would make anyone smile :) This break was booked for my birthday, and although we made it nice, and travelled to different places; we were disappointed with certain aspects of our stay (as above). Our highlight was eating in the beautiful barn, just down from The Secret River Cafe, Longtown, and I urge anyone to go - it’s beautiful. There is nothing in Longtown itself, unless you need to use the SPA - i don’t plan on returning there in a hurry unfortunately.

• "Overall we are both very pleased with our stay!"

  And would recommend to others, however the cooking situation could be a little better or even having a bigger fridge. The information about the snug when you book needs to be more specific- FOR EXAMPLE (Sachets of milk not a pint of milk) The description says you provide bread and there wasn’t any. I just think small improvements to the description or definitely make sure you have in there exactly what it states. Also, if you are wanting to book the snug you need to take everything from food to washing up liquid. Apart from the food/dissipation malarkey we absolutely loved it & the hot tub was lush!! Thank you X

• "The Snug was gorgeous, so tiny but cute, lovely location right next to the neck and still felt private although there are a few more holiday let’s on the property."

  The owners were lovely, the Snug was clean and the marshmallows for roasting and bottle of fizz were a lovely touch. Nice hot in and seating area overlooking the neck so you can sit out at night staring up at the stars too. The only issue we had was the mattress was so uncomfortable as the springs are sticking into you and randomly ping at you loudly in the night even if you stay still, if there was a new mattress would def stay there again and if not would try one of the other let’s on the property.
