I had such a lovely time there, Sandra and her son David were so kind to me, even giving me a few rides to places so I wouldn’t have to pay for the bus. The area was really calm and quiet, and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was so good, home...

I liked that the kitchen was big and fully equipped. I only had coffee here. Was impressed that if I wanted to prepare more I could do so. Also, I was offered breakfast if I wanted it. Thank you, Sandra for providing excellent accommodations.

Sandra is a wonderful hostess! She is very communicable, helpful and friendly. She provides everything needed for a comfortable stay, plus offers a fresh cooked breakfast. With only three people staying, we had our own spaces and a bit more...

Short stay, as I arrived in the late afternoon, but I was warmly welcomed by Sandra, who was friendly and very accommodating. The farm dormitory had everything I needed for a comfortable night, and the building itself had real character and charm....

A great place to stay if you like birdwatching and/or hiking. The accommodation is really comfy, a warm welcome and a good cooked breakfast plus home made jams and conserves for breakfast. The surrounding area is full of history, Hadrians Wall...

Comfortable dorm bed, tea and coffee provided and good cooking facilities. The views over the Solway Firth back towards Scotland are a bit special and the feel of a working farm about the place is nice.

Loved this perfect little hidden gem. I chose it as a halfway stop for travelling from Scotland to the Midlands but found is also right next to the beginning of Hadrians Wall. Super peaceful, dorm is spacious and comfortable. Great facilities...

Sandra was really friendly and made sure that I was comfortable in the room and had everything I needed. The location is in the middle of nowhere but suited my needs for a place to sleep while travelling.
