Berrymoor Cottage Reviews

Steven
Berrymoor cottage was fantastic the best cottage we have ever been to
We loved our week's stay at Berrymore cottage. It is cosy and immaculately clean. The owners are so helpful and have thought of everything to provide a home from home. Very comfortable bed, quality towels and linen, loads of info about the area, sun loungers, towels for hot tub use. Lots of thoughtful extras games, dog treats, cleaning essentials, welcome milk and teacakes. Gorgeous peaceful location and lots to see and do nearby. I could happily live herex
Hayley
What a hidden gem in a beautiful part of the world, just 20 mins drive to cross the border of Scotland and visit Gretna Green, and also Hadrians wall, and so close to Keswick also. The cottage and its land is stunning, so clean and well maintained, lots of personal touches around the cottage, and fully equipped with everything you need. Relax in the amazing hot tub and lovely garde. What can I say. We loved it here.

Short visit to Carlisle area in mid November. Cottage in a great location quiet and peaceful but has easy access to get to Carlisle, North Lakes and Hadrian's Wall. Heating system is very good and the little wood burner is easy to operate. Look forward to returning at a future date.
Beautiful gardens, comfortable bed, fantastic showers, lovely decor, lovely private enclosed garden with hot tub, sunbeds and table and chairs. Everything you could need, even a utility room with washing machine and dryer. We had a lovely couple of nights, thank you.
Deborah
We had a lovely stay for 4 nights with our 2 dogs. Very secure back garden so they could not get onto the road. The cottage was beautiful and the bed was so comfy. Also walk in showers are the way forward for us in our house after using them in the cottage.
Berrymoor cottage has EVERYTHING. I have no complaints whatsoever. Beautiful cottage, beautiful surroundings, beautiful location. Perfect host. Very personable. We didn't want to leave.
We had a lovely and comfortable stay, everything we needed and more. Grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Our hosts were very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you Simon and Dorothy
William
Beautiful, extremely comfortable cottage, well equipped and spotless. In a good location for exploring Hadrians Wall and the Lake District with lovely walks from the doorstep also. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would certainly recommend to family and friends. Owners who live next door were very friendly and helpful. Would love to return.
The cottage was lovely, clean & comfortable & had everything you would need for your stay. The only problem we had was trying to work the hob, just used the microwave in the end & some of the jets for the hot tub were not working properly. This did not spoil our stay in any way though & I would definitely recommend this cottage.
Lovely little cottage. Had a great stay. Great location for Carlisle and surrounding areas for walking and sightseeing.
This cottage is perfect. We had a fantastic stay. The cottage is clean, very well appointed and very comfortable with all the mod cons but still has that cottagey feel. It is well placed and not too far away from all the lakes and lots of lovely local walks and places to visit. Dorothy and Simon were lovely and helpful. I fell in love with the place and will definitely booking again. A five star stay thank you!.
Stayed for 4 nights in February 2025. The cottage was very welcoming, warm and clean. The hot cross buns and local jam was a nice touch. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could wish for, the sofa bed was already made up for us which was great. We used the hot tub every day which was lovely and hot. We used the cottage as a base and explored Hadrians wall, we also drove into the lakes which was around a 40 min drive to grasmere to walk the fells. Cannot fault the cottage at all and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Ashleigh
We had a lovely relaxing time at Berrymoor, the cottage had everything we needed and it was nice and cosy in the cold weather especially with the log burner and hot tub. The location was perfect, we had our two dogs with us and we found lots of lovely walks to go on with them.
