We had such a lovely overnight stay here. There was a very warm welcome from the staff who were also really helpful in helping us when we got back from our very muddy walk, and offered to clean and dry our boots. This was much appreciated. Lovely breakfast and evening meal and everyone so friendly.

I travel and stay in many hotels with my job, this one was excellent. I drove a little bit further than I normally would and I am so pleased I did. The room was light and spacious, the views stunning and the staff friendly. A perfect stay and I will be returning.

Absolutely incredible stay, we stayed at poppythorn cottage and it was amazing, the space is beautiful, clean and has everything you might need. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We brought 2 dogs with us and they were so welcome in the stay. I honestly don’t have words to describe how good our stay was

Went here on Easter Monday for a morning coffee. We were going to sit outside but it was a but chilly. So we went into coffee lounge. The lady who served us was very polite. She told us that she was from Sunderland when she heard us talk. Coffee was lovely. Their was a Easter egg hunt going on. A sheep come into the garden just walking around, it was a lovely site to see. We will be going here again. 100 /100%

What a hidden gem this place is. First time we have stayed. My partner and two dogs stayed here for a couple of nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, the room we had was lovely and the pillows were really good quality and made for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was plentiful and good quality ingredients. The grounds were perfect for our dogs to explore. A really peaceful location. We can't wait to go back again.
