Fantastic short break location
The Stables was very well equipes, clean and tidy. Had we been at a warmer time of year, we would have made more use of the gardens. Great location for walking. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away for a few days

This place is heaven on earth. Absolutely stunning grounds and the cottage is gorgeous! Immaculate! Paul and Julie welcomed us on arrival and were so informative. Hillary went out of her way to take us to get groceries as we were without acar. Loved them all! We can't say enough good about these folks. Would definitely stay there again!

We loved our stay at Stable Cottage. It was spotlessly clean and was well equipped. The welcome card and milk in the fridge was a nice surprise and we met Julue who was very helpful and informative. Would highly recommend.

Peace and quiet
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was lovely and welcoming, tastefully decorated and well equipped. The owners are obviously keen gardeners, so the view from the window was beautiful. There was a good choice of places to visit Abbotsford House, Threave House and gardens, to name but two. The weather was good for us, it usually isn’t, so that was definitely a bonus. We would recommend this area and property to anyone who doesn’t want to take the long drive to the Highlands.

Couldn’t wish for a lovelier home from home to stay in
This home is absolutely lovely. It’s airy and spacious and has everything you need for a holiday home. The welcome information was perfect and even some lovely treats, and milk in the fridge. The beds were comfortable and the cleanliness top notch. The home has an amazing garden to wander around and the location is perfect for Hadrian’s wall and various Roman fort and villa sites. Also it’s a stones throw from Gretna Green. Of course Carlisle is only a short drive away with its museum and Castle. Julie welcomed us personally. Lovely to meet you Julie and thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Wonderful cottage
What a beautiful cottage. It is really well equipped and we had everything we needed. Very clean and tidy. The setting is beautiful and the decking area off of the master bedroom is gorgeous. The cottage is much larger than it looks in the photographs. We had a wonderful weekend. The pheasants and the rabbits provided great entertainment and the gardens are stunning. We'll definitely book again. Julie kept in touch with us from booking and also came over to see us when we arrived. Thank you Julie and Paul, the cottage is spectacular, a lovely birthday treat for myself and my family.
