"Absolutely loved our stay here."
The cottage was lovely and cosy and the views were incredible. Lots of little extras like tea and coffee, bottle of fizz and logs really made it.
Just a gorgeous place and had a fab 3 nights away.

"Our stay at High Rigg Garden Cottage was blissful."
The cottage and the surroundings are just stunning. Views to die for, total peace and quiet make it extra special. The verandah and balcony are both stunning features and so pleasant to sit on and to enjoy the hot tub, taking in the breathtaking scenery. The cottage was comfortable and tastefully decorated and had a real home from home feel to it. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get away from it all to re-charge their batteries.

"High Rigg was excellent, the only feedback would be that should’ve been more crockery for catering."
For example, there were only four large plates for four people, there were only two small cereal bowls. some more cutlery would also have been useful.

The house is stunning and just like the photos. The views are just beautiful and the place so peaceful and idyllic. It was the perfect setting for us and just what we needed. The hot tub with views was the perfect start and finish to every day. Everything was perfect and the hosts David and Brenda couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and they bent over backwards with any requests we made of them. I would recommend this place 100% and I can't wait to visit again.

"Property was great with big bedrooms and bathrooms, decent sized living area/kitchen and downstairs toilet."
The only thing that spoiled our stay was the weather as it meant we didn't really use the hot tub on the balcony. We couldn't understand why the hot tub wasn't under cover like the others that were also advertised and perhaps it could do with a retractable awning?
We had no problems with the internet although the TVs were a little bit dated. I can't argue with this place if you're after somewhere remote.

The cottage itself is beautiful, furnished in a shabby chic style, with 2 gorgeous bedrooms, and a balcony to die for. The hot tub was amazing on the balcony and as it catches the sun all day you literally have your own sun trap (as my spring tan can now prove).
The setting of the cottage is amazing, with zero noise or light pollution, but close enough to lots of local things to do (try Talkin tarn, RSPB Geltside, and Geltswood).

"Just had a fantastic spur off the moment weekend away at High Rigg Garden Cottage."
It is rare to find a holiday cottage that is as beautiful inside as outside, often if there’s amazing views or location the owners don’t bother with the inside so much, but not Brenda she’s goes the extra to make everything thing about your stay amazing, the attention to detail makes the inside off the cottage as wonderful as the views from balcony and she really looks after her guests from delicious homemade cake on arrival to just feeling nothing is to much trouble. From the pictures we thought this cottage looked amazing but even they don’t do it justice, as to when your actually in it, we feel like we’ve been away for much longer. From the moment Brenda met us with the warm fire going and the cottage all a glow with soft lighting High Rigg wowed us and we can’t wait to return. This cottage had everything we could need including washing up liquid, tea, coffee & hot chocolate, condiments and even wash cloths in the bathrooms which is great when you’ve packed in a hurry. Loved the hot tub which Brenda had gone the extra trouble of making sure it was up to temperature for us that first night even though we were a last minute booking. There’s plenty of places to visit in the area with Hadrian’s Wall so close but you could honestly not leave High Rigg and have an amazing break away from it all if you don’t want to get back in your car till home time, and then you won’t want to leave.
