We had a lovely stay at the Roost near Dalston, it was the ideal spot for our visits to the Solway Firth, Carlisle, and nearby small villages.

The cottage is very comfortable, and is surrounded with a beautiful garden shared with the owner, (much better than the pictures shown on the Sykes website) but also has a small private seating area. We had a warm and friendly welcome from Jane the owner, plus beautiful homemade flapjacks the best we have ever tasted! Hope to return soon.

This is our second time staying at the roost .

The accommodation is peaceful , quiet and beautiful. The garden is gorgeous lovely to sit with a good book and a drink . Jane the owner is very helpful and friendly . The fittings and fixtures are great quality , the bed in particular is very comfortable with high quality bed linen . We slept like babies . The roost is ideally located for visiting points of interest around the Carlisle / Lake District and the coast . Gretna green is only 30 minutes away . We will definitely be back when we need another chill out and breathe break . Thanks
