The accommodation features three generous bedrooms - a super-king-size (can be twins), a double with en-suite and a ground-floor double. There's a stunning roll-top bath upstairs and a ground-floor wet room. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need, including dishwasher (because who wants to wash up on holiday?). The sauna and hot tub combo is what past guests rave about - nothing beats a glass of wine while soaking under the stars.
Nearby attractions include Carlisle Castle (15 min drive), Watchtree Nature Reserve (great for dog walks), Caledonia Designer Outlet for shopping fans (20 mins) and the famous Gretna Green (25 min drive). The Greyhound Inn serves excellent food and welcomes dogs too.
The Hollies is ideal for families, friends or couples wanting space to spread out. Past guests consistently rate it 5-stars for cleanliness, comfort and those thoughtful extras like welcome hampers (with dog treats!). Book it before someone else does!
