• "What a lovely cottage."

  View from the lounge was wonderful. Beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed and was well stocked with all little extras such as soap and toilet roll etc. lovely to have a welcome bottle of Prosecco and box of chocolates! The only thing was the garden wasn’t enclosed as stated. We luckily found a metal gate in the shed that we could use on the steps to stop our small dog escaping. The field was lovely but again not enclosed for a small dog as the fences had large gaps he could fit through. We were able to manage this by keeping our dog on a long lead. But overall a wonderful stay. Thank you.

  Thank you very much for your nice review. I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay . Thank you for your feedback back regarding the paddock . I will have a look at any gaps a small dog could get through and put some extra fencing in place . Best wishes and thanks for choosing Stanley Barn for your holiday . Property Owner

• "Probably the best holiday cottage my dogs have ever stayed at!"

  A really lovely, comfortable home for us all for the week with everything we needed! Gorgeous views from the living room to start and end every day, the house is beautifully furnished and well equipped. The dogs loved having the field to run around in and the dog wash room was a blessing with so much muddy country side for us to explore around the area.

  There was a bit of a hiccup when we got there as the cleaner hadn’t been so it was a bit messy and the beds weren’t made but Tracy came over that evening to sort everything out for us! Lovely peaceful location with lots of adventures to be had!

• "Booked Stanley barn for a week away with husband,6yr old son and parents and our pup Nova."

  Beautiful barn. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Beds very comfy and we all slept well after busy days out. Garden lovely and Tracey gave us some gates to put across the steps as we were worried nova would try to escape( she didn’t ) she loved running around the field which was secure. We went to a lovely pub called the Duke of Cumberland in castle cannock to meet up with family and we highly recommend this pub which does excellent food. The cottage is right on Hadrian’s wall. Good place for walkers. Went to birdoswolds English heritage site which was fab and worth a visit. Lanercost priory just down the road was interesting also EH. Carlisle about 35 mins ,Gretna green 30 mins and Keswick 1 hr, all worth a visit. We had a wonderful stay here and the views from the cottage were lovely. Peaceful area and cows and sheep in field opposite. 2 donkeys up the road were very sweet and always came to say hello. Thank you Tracey we all loved your cottage and would love to come back one day.

• "We absolutely loved this property."

  It was our first time staying in a cottage we would usually book a caravan and we must say we will definitely be booking again. The facilities and decor are fantastic a real cosy home from home. It’s remote enough to offer peace and quiet yet everywhere is easily accessible. We managed to get out and see 4 of the big lakes during our stay. Dog friendly lovely enclosed field and driveway. This place will always hold a special place for us and we used it as our base to get married. Gretna Green is only a short car ride away so it really was perfect for us. There was a lovely hamper full of goodies for when we arrived which was a real personal touch. Thank You for having us and we will definitely be back to stay at Stanley Barn again Sarah and family

• "Stayed in a few holiday cottages and this is probably the best."

  Everything you need is there, comfortable surroundings, very well maintained and clean. Perfect for a dog, the enclosed field was great for exercise and the pooch parlour was a great addition. Lovely welcome pack and away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to lots of areas of interest.

• "The pictures do not do the cottage justice and the reality was far greater."

  The Cottage had everything wr needed for a relaxing break and the addition of the field meant our dog had plenty of space to run. We had our elderly mum with us and she had a lovely birthday afternoon tea at a place less than 3 miles away. I would highly recommend Sanley Barn and give it 5 stars.

• "The cottage was a "truly get away from it all" experience based on location and the property."

  Attention to detail for the users were the best we have had yet including the pooch parlour for washing our dogs after one of the many walks in the various locations within reasonable driving distances. We would not hesitate to book this cottage again.

  Lovely decor - each room different. En suite was gorgeous. Amazing hamper on arrival and the walking to the local bits of Hadrian's wall was perfect for adults and dogs. Also Birdoswald very close by and a trip to Carlisle for a little shop was handy too (with teenagers).

• "We enjoyed a short break at Stanley Barn last week and loved the house and its position, right on the Hadrian's Wall path."

  Both interior and exterior are beautiful, and it was a real delight to explore the house and garden. We felt very welcome, with everything we needed to hand. The little house in the garden for the dog was particularly charming, and very useful when we returned from walks etc. We played games in the field, soaked up the sun on the terrace and walked on the long distance path. Just wish the holiday had been longer! Thank you, and we hope to be back before too long.

• "Excellent accommodation, conveniently located for Brampton / Carlisle / Lakes / North Pennines and not to far for the coast at Allonby."

  We could not have asked for a better location and accommodation for us and our dogs. The pooch parlour made the dogs trip at a lot easier, and the enclosed garden is massive. The barn was a great size and totally fitted our requirements. Highly recommended

• "Superb cottage."

  Real thought has gone into the decoration & finishing touches. Clean throughout & homely feel. Well maintained garden & outside area. Fabulous, thoughtful welcome hamper & bathroom extras . Dogs well catered for. Friendly neighbours. Peaceful,perfect location for our Hadrian’s Wall trip, with lots of the best points of interest virtually on the doorstep. Highly recommended . ( One little suggestion, in downstairs bedroom, to remove 2 top shelves in corner cupboard & replace with a hanging rail, would be really useful, as there is plenty of other drawer space) Excellent cottage all round. It’s top of our list.

• "This property is situated in a beautiful part of the country."

  The property is stunning and provided the six of us with comfort. The owner came to visit us after we arrived, to check everything was okay. We had also been left some basics to get us started, which was a nice touch. From the moment we arrived, we all felt relaxed. Both the interior and exterior are of an extremely high standard. The property is just far enough to feel out in the country, but not to far from the local shops and other amenities. The week flew by and sadly before long it was time to leave. Thank you Tracy for allowing us to stay in this lovely property, in a wonderful part of the world. This holiday will not be forgotten. Regards JF

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stanley Barn."

  The cottage has everything one could need or want. It's very comfortable with all the luxuries. It's located in a very private setting & it's very quiet. I am a light sleeper but I slept like a baby whilst at Stanley Barn. A very nice & thoughtful touch was the welcome basket the owner left for us & also for our dog Snoopy. We enjoyed everything, especially after long hikes. The cottage is truly a home away from home. Can't wait to return!
