Bramble Cottage was compact yet beautifully designed, very tidy and clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the welcome pack (bread, butter, etc.) was a nice touch. However, upon our arrival, the heating had not been turned on, making it quite cold inside. We did manage to turn it on, but being made of stone, the cottage took over 12 hours to warm up. We ended up sitting on the sofa wrapped in our coats and blankets until we finally gave in and went to bed just to stay warm. The bathroom was lovely, featuring a large bath that I had been looking forward to after a long, chilly day of walking, but sadly, the hot water was only lukewarm. This was quite disappointing, although the shower was hot and powerful. I did communicate with the representative from the service, who mentioned that the cottage had been unoccupied for several weeks and the caretaker should have activated the heating. If we hadn't been so exhausted after a 5-hour journey, we might have considered heading back home.
Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful accommodation with such an amazing history. It felt like we were staying in a castle. The views are amazing with deer and pheasants on the grounds. Nice a close to the centre of the village. Only 10-15 min drive the Carlisle. It has everything you could need for a stay. Milk, tea and coffee were here on our arrival (great after a long drive). The place is spotless. Each of the three rooms have ensuite bathrooms. The beds were extremely comfortable. There is a utility room with washing machine and dryer as well as a seperate toilet for guests. Honestly such an amazing place to stay. Highly recommend.
Bramble Cottage was small but beautifully formed, very neat and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the welcome pack (bread, butter etc) was a lovely idea. However, when we arrived at the cottage the heating hadn't been put on and it was baltic inside. We did put it on but the cottage, being made of stone, took over 12 hours to heat. We sat on the sofa covered in our coats and throws until finally giving in and got into bed just to keep warm. There was a beautiful bathroom with a huge bath which I was looking forward to after a long, cold days walking but unfortunately the hot water ran tepid at most. Very disappointing. Although the shower was hot and powerful. I did speak to the representative from Cumbrian Cottages who explained that the cottage had not been occupied for many weeks and the caretaker should have put the heating on. If we hadn't have been so tired after a 5 hour journey we would have returned home.
Where to start We are 4 generations of a family, aged 11mths - 86 years old, all 24 of us.We celebrated our Christmas in beautiful Glingerbank house, staying from 23rd - 27th December.The house is just amazing, so well presented, everything you could possibly need to cook a huge Christmas dinner, full English breakfasts, Boxing Day buffet and all the meals in between.From, plates, pans, cutlery, glasses, serving dishes, roasting tins, Yorkshire pudding trays, if you need it, it’s there and more.Glingerbank is so comfortable, warm, clean, lovely bedding, all towels provided, heating was timed to come on for us, all day from 7am until late at night.The house is quirky with different staircases, corridors, rooms galore and the lift was invaluable for our 3 Octogenarians.Fabulous location, we enjoyed a lovely Boxing Day walk up at Hadrian’s wall. Hot Tub was an added bonus. We have enjoyed a wonderful family Christmas, filled with amazing memories and photographs - Thank youWe all highly recommend Glingerbank House
Really simple process to book the holiday and was nice to see a last min discount applied as we booked so late.The Reflections pod was cosy and comfortable when we arrived and was great for the 2 of us, nice and snug.The hot tub was obviously a hit and we used this alot. The space around the hot tub was just enough for our small dog to have a little wander and sniff about and we were very secluded and had our own privacy which was also great.The T.V was the only down side for us as we think due to the weather we were unable to get a signal for the free view channels. Although didn't impact our stay at all, when we wanted to just chill before going to bed we found the T.V was not great. One thing I would warn others is how dark it is especially in the winter! So take some torches that have a good bulb on them, this is where we failed and couldn't see a thing when we went a walk with the dog
Fabulous place. So comfortable and has everything you need there we were there just a couple of nights whilst our dog had eye surgery due to there being only two specialists in the country so we opted for Penrith the parking can be a bit of a pain if you let it but for 6.10 you get 10 hours parking literally over the road But the beds were amazing the whole place is lovely and if we have to go back we will hopefully be able to stay here again. Amazing place
