• "The week quoted was the final week of our 6 weeks at Acorns."

  We have loved every minute of our stay at Acorns. We have been visiting Acorns for 5 out of the last 6 years. The accommodation, location, scenery are perfect. But the icing on the cake are the hosts Rosie and Len, they make you feel so welcome.

• "Third visit to this lovely place."

  The bungalow has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are many places of historical interest a short distance away. There are villages and towns only a few minutes drive away with cafes/restaurants and shops to top up on supplies. The owners provide a useful welcome pack and are very friendly and helpful.

• "We had a wonderful holiday at Acorns."

  The owners made us very welcome as soon as we arrived. The property was very light and comfortable with lovely furniture and an excellent bed and bedding. I slept better there than at home. The huge freezer and efficient oven made meal times easy. Rather than being rather isolated in a cottage, our bungalow was right next to the farmyard so we were able to observe what was going on from day to day. Watching the sheepdog controlling the sheep and lambs as they came for a feed was a real education. We definitely plan to go back .

• "We spent a fantastic 3 weeks at Acorns."

  A wonderful location, exceptionally clean and spacious accommodation with everything we needed on hand. Quite accessible for our mum who after hip surgery, needs a roller walker. Beautiful scenery in a very peaceful location and watching all the lambs arriving daily on the farm and running about in the fields and seeing the sheepdogs in action was lovely. Rosie you work so hard, we don’t know how you manage so much! Hope Len continues his recovery. We recommend Acorns to any visitor looking for a place to stay in the area as it is also close to many of the attractions and towns for necessities.

  Len runs a very busy sheep farm and it's good to watch his sheep dogs at work. The only thing that would stop us returning next year would be our health, all being well we willl return again.

  Set on a work sheep farm. Property was spotless and the location very quiet, also very dark at night, idea if you want to go star gazing. Brampton is a short drive away and the Roman Wall (Birdoswald) closer still.

  acorns is so clean there is never any cause for concern about cleanliness. The presentation is a huge credit to Rosie and her team. With the odd exception it’s almost like home from home and we hope to return later in 2023

  Unable to fault cottage at all. Only drawback was that no mention was made in the listing of the railway line being fairly close by. The trains were regular, starting at approx 6.30am and some sounded the horn as it went passed.

• "The cottage was larger than we expected and was clean and comfortable."

  Our hosts, Rosie and Len were very helpful , friendly and we felt that were welcome visitors. If you want a peaceful place to stay, this is it. Hadrian's wall is within walking distance and has information boards recalling the history of the Roman presence on the frontier between Scotland and Britain. The Lake district and the Keilder forest are within easy driving district and you can enjoy "dark skies" and a myriad stars when you visit the forest. We would definitely recommend this holiday cottage.

• "The owners Len and Rosie were really friendly and helpful and there was a bottle of red wine, milk and eggs on our arrival, a very nice touch."

  The bungalow had lovely country views to one side, including the main living areas. The sheep farm is adjacent but the activity is not intrusive, indeed the morning feed delivery to the fields was very entertaining! There was a very good layout to the property, with room sizes larger than we were expecting. In addition to having everything we needed in the bungalow, it is not far from other amenities and many varied places of interest, a good place to relax in or explore from. Wifi was installed in the farm during our stay, and the signal could be used in some parts of the bungalow (the owners are planning to improve this with a repeater). So we were very satisfied and would recommend "Acorns".

• "The cottage is situated on a quiet sheep farm."

  Ideal for what we wanted. We used the cottage as a Base for walking hadrians wall path. There is a pretty path from the road side to tge national trail. It was lovely and spacious. Very clean. The owners are friendly, bringing some fresh eggs too. There was no Internet access, but I understand that is being dealt with shortly. We found the lack of online access a great incentive to do other stuff.
