“The cottage was very nice and very clean.”

It is a nice area with nice walks and a good base for visiting lots of places round. We had to contact the people looking after the cottage with an issue where it said coal was provided, but they were very helpful and said this had been changed and you only had logs now, and this should have been altered on the information. We also arrived just after the time given by Sykes ( 15.00 ) and was told by the man still cleaning we should have been told the arrival time was now 17.00. The only other ...

We also arrived just after the time given by Sykes ( 15.00 ) and was told by the man still cleaning we should have been told the arrival time was now 17.00. The only other thing was the gate you open to put the car in, was very difficult to open and we actually cut a finger trying to lift and open it. We did have a lovely week there, fortunately the weather was very nice for us. Brough is a nice little place, not a lot of facilities, the shop is handy and the chip shop is good although only open Friday and Saturday at the present. It was well worth walking to the castle. The cottage was good value for the money and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

“Great place in quiet sleepy Brough.”

Everyone’s really friendly. Lots of good walks around. Couple of pubs in the village. House was spotless.

“Relaxing Country Stay, Comfortable and Well Equipped”

I stopped here with my wife and young children. We found the property to be spotless. The outside garden area is nice and tidy with hard standing for your car. Kitchen is new and lovely. Dishwasher, Microwave, Induction Hob, Fridge, what more could anyone need. Welcome basket upon arrival. Wood burner (local shop sells wood and kindling), electric heating throughout meant we were nice and warm our whole stay. Dining table we could all sit around if we wanted to - Smart TV with Netflix, Iplayer etc if you wanted it. Free Wifi too. Upstairs bathroom is clearly new and the shower is excellent. Washing machine and dryer provided which is great. Bunk beds in one room for the kids, nice soft double bed in main room. You can just see Brough castle in the distance from the main bedroom. This property is next to a working farm - we loved seeing the farmer backwards and forwards, cows and sheep are there too. If you want good country life, with the sights and smells of the country, this is ideal for you. We did some small walks right in Brough itself, which the kids loved. We visited Brough castle which is free entry. Ate at a cafe in Kirkby Stephen, ate out at the Black Bull in Nateby (which is highly recommended). You can easily get to Appleby and Penrith. We took a nice drive out to Highforce one day which gave us some magnificent views. Theres no doubt we will be back again as the whole house is perfect.

“Lovely well equipped and clean cottage in good location for travelling to Lakes, Yorkshire and Howgill Fells.”

Strange time to holiday with many places still affected by COVID 19. A Visitor Book or local info would have been useful to know what was open in the locality. Nearby Kirkby Stephen has plenty of choice for cafes and small shops. My major disappointment with the cottage is the view in back garden due to large trailer obscuring the view, also the heating system, being controlled remotely by owners was unreliable. Steve the Caretaker was very helpful but we didn’t want to keep disturbing him when it failed again. As of now the pub and ice cream/tea room are open at weekends only, may be worth enquiring direct with establishments if this is important to you before booking.

“Last minute booking, ran smoothly, lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

Would come back for longer than a weekend next time!

“Brilliant little location .”

The welcome basket was a nice touch and perfect for a cup of tea on arrival.

Mr Mcmorris October 2019

“Lovely warm comfortable cottage, well done to housekeeping immaculately clean.”

Stayed for the week - could easily have stopped longer. Brough and Church Brough is a super friendly village with lovely walks on the doors step - plus Castle, with a well stocked shop. Fantastic places to visit nearby by car - Barnard Castle 25minutes, Keswick only 50 minutes and Middleton in Teeside and area well worth a visit. Would highly recommend staying at Cabinteely.

Mrs Willan October 2019

“Heating system a little complicated even with instructions.”

Farm right behind cottage was slightly noisy at the beginning of our holiday. Bunk bed not very sturdy and a bit squeaky. Some more storage space would have been useful. All in all a lovely cottage! Enjoyed our stay!

Mrs Kalaire September 2019

“We had a very comfortable stay at Cabinteely, lovely cottage with everything we needed.”

We found the location was perfect, beautiful. Local shop had everything we needed and would reccomend the village chippy. It was the first time the owners had a toddler stay at the cottage so they went out of there way to purchase a bed guard and stair gate. These were extremely useful, we couldn't have managed without them. Thank you!

Ms Meredith July 2019

“The cottage was lovely - clean and comfortable in a great location to visit Pennines, Dales and Lake District.”

The garden was enclosed as stated but my dog would have been able to get through the 5 bar gate so Steve the caretaker came over and put wire mesh across it to prevent her getting out, which we really appreciated as it gave us peace of mind, the heater in the lounge wasn’t working so he brought over additional wood and coal for the stove, this was within a few hours of us arriving, so cannot fault the service provided. The cottage was well equipped, if I’m being picky the only items missing - full length mirror and table and chairs for the garden. We would recommend this cottage to anybody visiting the area.

“Lovely stay”

Enjoyed a comfortable stay in this well equipped cottage. Ideal quiet location with lots of local walks. Shop and bar 100m from cottage. Very clean with good outdoor seating area for warm nights. Main town 4 miles with Supermarket, bars, takeaways. TV with Netflix a bonus. Bed very comfortable. Would recommend for a tranguil stay with good location for exploring the lakes.

Mr Levens April 2019

“The location was spot on for what we where looking for.”

I would recommend this cottage as it was really clean and well laid out, we sat in the garden looking at the lovely views of the hills of a morning and evenings as there is a table and four chairs in the storage shed. The large gate to the garden for car entrance has gaps between the bars so if you have a small dog it could get out however there was a roll of fine mesh in the storage shed which we tied to the gate which closed any gaps up and was fine. The kitchen had everything you could need and the bed was really comfortable, we will definitely be coming back.

“Nice little welcome pack, comfy place to stay in quiet location.”

Mr Lowndes-smith August 2018

“Overall a great cottage, great location, high spec, quiet spot, only let down by an uncomfy bed (too soft) and sofa (poor back support and not facing the tv).”

That said these are down to personal preference. It's noteworthy the cottage has clearly been recently refurbished to a high standard and looks great. We struggled to get much heat from the fire, but that might be our abilities with coal!

“Comfortable stay”

My husband and I just enjoyed a lovely long weekend at Cabinteely. We found the cottage to be very welcoming. It was very tastefully decorated throughout in a contemporary style but still felt very cosy. I like to cook when away and so made good use of the kitchen. Clearly much thought had gone in to picking out all the necessary kitchenalia because I had absolutely everything I needed to prepare a nice meal. It was a lovely little kitchen and very stylish. Very nice induction hob too. We enjoyed a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed and I was very pleased to see that the bedroom mirror had been placed by a socket. A small point, but it makes hair drying so much easier. The bathroom was a very generous size for a small cottage, and again very stylish. We sat out in the sunshine in the garden for breakfast. In fact the garden had the sun all day. I found the local coutryside very beautiful. We took a walk up the lane and enjoyed some fabulous views. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is lovely and there's lots to see round about. We very much look forward to going back.

Mr Eldridge July 2018

“Extremley clean and tidy cottage.”

Would reccomend. On the down side, the cost is approx £100 per day, you could fly to Venice, have a Cruise down the Mediterainian,all inclusive, for the same cost.

“Mr”

Spent a fantastic long weekend for our anniversary. Found the courage to be very comfortable and well thought out. It is small like most of the cottages in this part of Cumbria and that adds to the charm for me. The kitchen is a nice size and well equipped, it was very clean and tidy like the rest of the house. The living room is comfortable with wifi and an up to date tv which is unusual in my experience, it has BBC iPlayer, Netflix etc built in. Wee only used the main bedroom and I can honestly say it's the most comfortable bed I've slept in away from home. We did some local walks from the house and the scenery is stunning. It was nice sitting out having lunch and breakfast watching the rabbits, sheep, cows and birds (inc birds of prey). Taking a trip to Keswick is about 45min, Appleby was about 15min, so it's a good base for travelling. Would we come again? Absolutely.

“There was a noticeable absence of a wall clock anywhere in the cottage, particularly in the kitchen, and a mirror downstairs would have been an advantage.”

The white walls in the living room were rather cold looking and bare of any decoration. The room did not feel very cosy.

- Mrs Brown, May 2018
Mrs Murton April 2018

“We had a lovely stay in this cottage.”

It was clean, comfortable and warm. There was a log burner with coal but we didn’t need to use it. The bunk beds are smaller than usual but was absolutely fine for my 2 boys who are 5 and 7.

About the location

BROUGH

Kirkby Stephen 4 miles; Appleby-in-Westmorland 8 miles.

Brough is a small town located in the Eden Valley, at the foot of the North Pennines, just four miles north of Kirkby Stephen and eight miles east of Appleby-in-Westmorland. It is a twin village, the southern part, Church Brough, lies on a former Roman road and was the setting for the Norman Brough Castle (once the site of a Roman camp), while the northern area, Market Brough, is sited on a medieval road. The difference in the two villages relates to the functions they once served; Church Brough’s houses stand around a market square decorated with a maypole, while Market Brough boasts a wide and long main street. The village’s claim to fame lies in its 18th-19th century importance as a coaching town for the England-Scotland run, where more than 10 inns catered to the stagecoach trade. A beautiful sleepy backwater, it is surrounded by traditional farm meadows and picturesque pastures and fells. Nearby, the traditional market town of Kirkby Stephen, once home to cotton mills and a large manufacturer of shoes and woollen hats, today hosts a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs for every taste and budget. Enjoy many excellent walks and cycle routes nearby; explore Penrith, Appleby and the magnificent Howgill Fells, enjoy a drink in Tan Hill, England's highest pub, or take a ride on the Settle-Carlisle railway. A superb location, with the whole of the mystical Lake District National Park and the stunning Yorkshire Dales at your fingertips.
