Allergarth Barn

This was our 5th stay in Allergarth Barn.

Julie was her usual fabulous self, the Barn feels like home now, the surroundings are beautiful. We spent time watching countless birds, hares and the occasional deer plus Julie and Shauns alpacas. The surrounding area is great to explore I.e Hadrian's Wall, Lanercoste Priory and Talkin Tarn. I'd encourage people to visit this area of Cumbria and to stay at Allergarth Barn.

As per other reviews we too are repeat guests at Allergarth Barn.

It's so tranquil and cosy but really spacious and spotlessly clean. Hearing the ducks and chickens and watching the alpacas and llamas is simply delightful. Cranstons food hall in Brampton is definitely worth a visit for some fresh local produce to cook in that wonderful AGA. Thank you again for a perfect stay.

We had a fantastic time at Allergarth Barn over the New Year.

4 adults, an 8 year old and 2 dogs (one huge, one small) and it never felt cramped. Our host Julie let us help with feeding the llamas and alpacas which was brilliant. The surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous and lots of walking routes for the dogs. The local town of Brampton is really lovely and there are plenty of shops and pubs to occupy your time. We all really enjoyed our time there and would certainly recommend to others looking to have a well earned break.

A lovely relaxing stay

Wonderful cottage, clean, bright and comfortable, set in beautiful, peaceful countryside.

Lovely owners too, nearby if needed but not at all intrusive.

We've loved our time in Allergarth Barn, it was our fourth stay there and we will be returning there again.

The Barn is well equipped and very comfortable and the owners are lovely. It's the perfect place to stay if you love peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings. It's also a great base for exploring Cumbria and Northumberland.

Beautiful property, surroundings, owners, everything perfect.

Julie was a lovely host cottage was lovely and quiet if you want complete r& r my granddaughters and 2 dogs had a fabulous time will definitely come back here

We booked for 7 nights and had glorious weather, the bungalow is in such a quiet location, it was so peaceful staying there, the garden is secure, and Wi-Fi was great, no passing traffic as the property was nearly a mile off the road.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in an amazing location for walking, taking in the night sky and relaxing.

Everything you need, very comfortable and hosts were very friendly and helpful, definitely recommend.

Lovely property, very comfortable.

Great place to stay, well off the beaten track.

The accommodation is clean and has everything you need, a home from home. The owner Julie is friendly and helpful and is not far away if you need anything but respectful of your space. A pleasant garden to relax in. And an opportunity to handfeed some alpaca's and Llama's if you ask. Finally found somewhere with acceptable broadband and WIFI although you cant get the HD channels on the TV. The two large sofa's take a little getting used to as they are low and deep. there are a few steps within the property, beware of the one just inside the main bedroom, I tripped up it a couple of times in the night.

This was our 3rd stay, 1 in the Duck House and 2 in Allergarth Barn and we will stay there again.

We love the barn and the surrounding area plus the Alpacas. The barn is very comfortable and is well equipped. Our border Collie loves it there too. We had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

The property was lovely except for a bit of damp in the bathroom, the location was a bit remote but ideal for a peaceful relaxing holiday and the owner was on hand to help if needed but not intrusive.

I would definitely return if I can.

Was very comfortable place with very good WI-FI.

We had a wonderful stay cottage was excellent and had all we needed.

Owner was really friendly and we joined her to feed the alpacas and llamas where she gave us a lot of information about them she was very knowledgeable. We'll certainly stay again if we're going up that way. Brenda, Barbara, Sue and David.

This is an amazing place lived my stay .

Peaceful , cozy , lively log fire .. sheer bliss . Julie the owner was wonderful and very warm and friendly. Lives the walks around and the alpacas . What more can one say except excellent .

Lovely friendly welcome from the owner.

The property exceeded our expectations. It was warm, comfortable, clean, Good WIFI and a fabulous garden for our small dogs. Great location for seeing the area by car and near a decent pub too.

Fantastic cottage.

Beautiful area. Lovely hosts. Not a bad word to say. We had a brilliant holiday and will be returning. Thank you.

Allergarth barn is a great place to stay.

It's beautiful, comfortable and has everything you could need to make your stay perfect.

This comment is about safety entering the cottage so this comment is more about the inaccuracy of Sykes Cottages description than anything to do with the owners, In Sykes description re the cottage all that was said was there are two steps up to the entry into the cottage.

So Sykes were not accurate on that point as they really should have said this cottage is really not suitable for the elderly or disabled. I am nearly 77 and awaiting a new hip and my husband 75 slight cripple due to a spine operation. He managed up and down not too badly but I had quite a struggle entering and leaving the property. There should have been a handrail if it was considered suitable for less able folk - not the owners fault but Sykes fault for not stating clearly that this property is unsafe for elderly or infirm. Equally dangerous going down as you stepped from step straight on to cobbles - no problem for young fit people. The cottage was spotless, beautiful and absolutely peaceful and the owners were lovely but I strongly recommend that you (Sykes) amend your description from please note there are two steps up to the property to maybe - THIS PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR DISABLED OR ELDERLY. Thank you and I will be checking that this amendment is made or my husband and I will probably be uncertain as to whether to go with Sykes again which we always have done for many years past.

Great cottage very cosy, Julie and Shawn very nice and helpful.

Great having a log burner and there was plenty wood supplied which was good and loved the kitchen and cooking on the aga just loved the layout of the cottage really nice and comfortable.

Lovely cottage and enclosed garden for the dog.

Excellent location for the North Lakes, Scotland and Northumberland. Huge house and so spacious for the 4 of us. Julie was friendly and is on hand to help with any queries. When the evenings got a little chilly, we made the most of the lovely log burner. Make sure you visit Gelt Woods if you can. We would certainly stay again : )

Lovely warm welcome upon arrival.

Fantastic all round property in a peaceful location.

They are new to this game so I left them some thoughts of how to improve certain things .

. but all in all it’s a super place to stay .. Julie is lovely husband needs to be more chatty .. and ask about your day if run into guests..

We loved our time at Allergarth - perfect base for relaxation as a family.
