The Chard Reviews

Gorgeous place and incredibly relaxing, we had such a lovely stay. The hosts were very helpful and kindly provided a high chair and even some matches for our BBQ when we asked. The only very minor downsides were that a larger mirror would have been useful, and the location is quite remote so there isnt anything within walking distance. That said, we were aware of this before booking, so it wasnt an issue for us.

Really good stay with large private field if bringing pets as long as there okay with wandering wildlife chickens rabbits and ducks etc. family who run it are really helpful and have done a great job building these lodges only small issues would be the size of the sofa and tv although these were barely used, used the komoot app to find local walks in the area and you are just a short travel from most as well as being near to Longtown which has any shops youll need during a short stay. And maybe one improvement would be having bbq equipment as all thats provided is a portable stove however rest of the facilities were good will likely stay again. Bathroom well above what we expected and hot tub was great set up by the owners when we first arrived.

Robert

Stunning, the cabin the location amazing, hot tub absolute bonus. Waking up to wildlife walking past your door was unforgettable. Cabin was comfortable shower was out of this world parking right next to cabin. Only thing missing and its minor just my opinion was large mirror and maybe extra cooking facilities, but seriously not a fault or issue.

This was the perfect place for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The accommodation was clean with everything we needed. The outside space was private with a lovely view, and the hot tub was great. We will definitely be back.

We had a lovely 3 nights stay. We were there to relax and unwind and thats exactly what we did with beautiful view. My only input would be that a clothes maiden would be beneficial to hang towels and costumes. It really dark at night especially in hot tub and some lighting around on the fence might light it up a bit. If Im going to be picky a mirror on the wall as hand mirror small a clock so dont have to look at our phones but this did not effect our wonderful stay.

The accommodation itself was absolutely beautiful and outside was even better. The hottub was perfect and the owners were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back

Could do with some sort of mesh door so you can open door without the risk of animals coming in. Also could really do with an oven. Other than that, really lovely place and we really enjoyed it

Stayed for the bank holiday weekend, everything was perfect. Highly recommend.
