• "Lovely house , we didn’t get to use the outdoor spaces as much as we would have liked to because the weather was not good ."

  We had lots of rain so the size of the house was important , the children had the games room and plenty room on the large table for board games .The pub just across the bridge was ideal for lunch or dinner . We all had a lovely break .

  Hello Ann, Thank you for taking the time to give Berryburn such a good review. And, yes the weather was a shocker! Regards Bradley Property Owner

  We had a wonderful celebration of our Diamond Wedding Anniversary with family and friends Berryburn is a comfortable and very well furnished country house with lots of pictures, ornaments and vases which means it’s like being at home It perhaps is in need of a little TLC here and there,but this is no way detracts from the ambience and comfort of Berryburn It is truly a lovely home to stay for any celebration with family and friends

• "Berryburn is a fabulous place for a group holiday."

  It is a little 'frayed around the edges', but that adds to its character and makes it feel like a comfy home rather than something out of a design magazine. It is large enough that everyone can find a place that suits them, and children are well catered for with the garden, outdoor play area, play room and separate room to watch T.V./play video games. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and well equipped, as are the kitchen and utility rooms. The garden is lovely (sadly the weather was not in our favour for sitting out during our stay), and private. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, despite being a short walk from the village and good pub. There is plenty to do nearby, and shops are a short drive away. The owner left a lovely welcome treat for us, and was very easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend Berryburn for any large group gathering.

  Brigid, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. I am so glad you liked the house and gardens and enjoyed your stay. You and your family will always be welcome back. Regards Bradley Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful weekend at Berryburn."

  It was perfect for our group of 10 adults and two children who loved the garden and games room. The welcome gift of wine, chocolates and biscuits was really appreciated. The house was very comfortable and had a real home from home feel. Everything we needed was provided. We had a barbecue on one evening and it was the perfect setting. Thank you

  Dear Michele, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay - and thank you for choosing Berryburn on such a special occasion. Take care Bradley Property Owner

  The traditional style was nice; it's a very beautiful house and gardens. The added touch of the fruit, chocolates & bottle of wine was appreciated! Communication was good with the owner. Very few negatives, perhaps having some extra tea towels? Overall a fantastic stay.

  The gardens were well-kept and, as the weather was kind to us, we were able to enjoy eating and drinking al fresco. I would definitely recommend Berryburn to anyone attending a wedding nearby - it was perfect.

• "We (6 adults and 5 children) had a most enjoyable week at Berryburn."

  The children enjoyed the freedom which the well kept outdoor space provided. The house was one of the best equipped and comfortable holiday houses we have stayed in (our 11th). Berryburn had a traditional homely atmosphere and our welcoming gifts were enjoyed by everyone. We appreciated the fact that the owner contacted us prior to our visit with some extra helpful pieces of information.

  Thank you Margaret for a great review. And thank you for being wonderful guests. Take care Bradley Property Owner

• "On arrival looking at the property and surroundings we were overwhelmed, it was beautiful."

  On entering the property we found it to be very cold and some rooms we were unable to use as didn't warm up throughout the week. Downstairs rooms all had fires. Disappointed with the kitchen space as normally that would be our hub, but had to use the dining room which was lovely in the evening but very formal!! It was clean and well equipped. There was a pub a few minutes away which was lovely and served good food, however not lit up at night so definitely need torches and was very muddy. I did contact the owner due to a problem we experienced and he was very understanding. In warmer weather it would be idyllic

  Thank you for your comments Patricia, I'm sorry the house didn't quite meet your expectations. I will always try to improve my guests experience...where practically possible. Property Owner

  Very peaceful setting. Lot's of amenities and a well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were large and many were ensuite. If you are looking for a place to host a large family gathering this is it. Pack a torch and wellies if you want to have a nighttime walk though

  Communication with owner Bradley was excellent both before and after the stay. Many positives we could share but probably most fitting is to say this was our first visit to Berryburn and within 24 hours of leaving, we had booked our return for the summer!

• "We had a lovely weekend at Berryburn."

  The house has been beautifully restored and is really well equipped with plenty of toys and games for our grandchildren. We all enjoyed the beautiful gardens and loved watching the wildlife in the surrounding countryside. It was lovely to relax in the evenings round the large dining table, then by the fire in the lounge. I would suggest that the back staircase needs a gate, as its not suitable for toddlers.

• "We had a great stay at Berryburn it’s an ideal property for a family get together."

  The house has a lived in feeling and you feel relaxed from when you step in the front door and it was great for the six grand kids ,between the games room packed with games and the outside space for the kids to run about and play on the swings and play football on the lawn , a wooden playhouse in the bottom garden also equipped with outdoor toys for the kids. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need especially as we were a party of 10 adults and six grand children.The dining room was a great room for us all to sit ,eat and have a breather and a few drinks . The main sitting room was big enough for all the adults to relax when the kids eventually got to bed . Overall we had great couple of days away in a comfortable period house and the owner could not do enough for us and was on the other end of the phone for any queries. Overall great place to stay for a family get together in a lovely setting and lovely to watch the rabbits on the lawn. Bradley has thought of everything to cater for everyone’s needs adults and children alike even placing bowls of apples in various rooms throughout the house which were delicious by the way!

  Lots of lovely rooms and great dining room to share family meals. We tried a barbecue one evening but it was windy and so moved into the house. The host was readily available and helpful. The Station pub was nearby and we walked- food was very good and we had preordered for the Sunday evening. Our other recommendation for eating out was The Crown and Thistle at Rockcliffe. Lots to see in the area.

  Our group of 10 were more than happy with the space, comfort and facilities on offer. The house is spacious, spotlessly clean and lots of outdoor space. While the house itself is set in a peaceful area it’s less than 10 minutes drive to Gretna. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

• "Ideal property for family holiday."

  We were a group of 10 including 4 young children and 2 dogs. The house is roomy and the games room has plenty of games to keep children amused. The dogs loved the freedom of the large enclosed garden. Gretna is close by and easy to get to with a good choice of carryouts which at a time like this is a bonus. Plenty of places to enjoy for all in the area. Easy access to the Lake District which we love. Bradley, the owner, we found very helpful and friendly.

  It is extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly want. We would all now happily recommend this house to anyone & all the 6 bedrooms worked very well with 5 of them having excellent en-suite facilities. ALL the 3 log burner stoves worked really well & we did use all of them! The heating & hot water both worked very well at all times. A real 10 out of 10 score from our 3 x Clans for every aspect of our 4 day weekend. A big thank you to Bradley (Owner) for this. He was available at any time for contact if needed. (We did not, but knowing he was there at the end of a mobile was great comfort). Thank you so much for this wonderful experience & we would all happily return anytime, if we could. Kind regards & best wishes - Steven Kennedy (Huddersfield).

  A nice gesture was the owner checking we were all ok after the gales. Thank you Bradley. We booked the holiday for my daughters 40th birthday surprise, she was even more surprised when she saw the beautiful 4 poster bed and the size of the bedroom and on suite.

• "What a fabulous house and grounds."

  Very well equipped inside and out! We were a group of kids 4/6 up to 75 year olds and 2 large dogs. The kids loved the play areas outside and the games in the play room and snug. We had many great nights around the massive dinning room table finishing with a few drinks in the sitting room with its very welcoming log fire. Brendan was great, answering any queries we had very promptly. We were very lucky with the weather with beautiful sun rises and sunsets with not a cloud in the sky, even though it was only about 5 degrees we sat out on the lawn looking over the farm land watching a rabbit or two with a Prosecco or two! Can not praise this property highly enough.

  The barbeque was great too. The bedrooms had en suite bathrooms or access to an adjacent bathroom. The location is handy for the newly refurbished Station pub which does good pub food. We visited Birdoswald on Hadrians wall an the grandchildren loved dressing up in Roman costumes. We also visited the Tullie museum in Carlisle, well worth a visit and easy parking in the castle car park. The castle at Caerolock was good too. Managed to get in a bit of carp fishing near Annan.

  Beautifully manicured garden as you enter the imposing gates but once through you enter a property suitably and tastefully restored to former glory. We hired this for my partners 50th birthday celebrations with life-long friends, who dipped in and out throughout the week. The property was exactly what we needed and so peaceful - even with a houseful. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The 2 living areas are tastefully decorated and give guests the freedom to find a tranquil space. There is also an extensive book library for even the most prolific reader! Bedrooms and ensuite’s are so beautifully decorated. Bed linen was spotless and pristine white! So much to do in the area too. From The Burns Trail to Bike trails and from beaches to forests! Something for everyone! 5/5

  The house is exactly as described but the shop and pub nearby have now closed so you could do with updating the info. (Not that either mattered to us) The *real* fires In ground floor rooms are great and throw out plenty of heat. The only complaint I can think is the WiFi isn’t very good at all

  This made it a perfect venue for an adult family get together in a splendid Victorian house set in peaceful surroundings. The house was occupied full to capacity, but the huge rooms allowed everyone to either congregate, or to find their own space. Despite the unpredictable October weather, our memories will be of spending warm comfortable evenings in front of the log fires. Good company, good food and drink, much love and laughter. Perfect!
