The Hollies

We had a lovely stay at Brad and Karen’s place. Set in stunning countryside, with fantastic walking opportunities. The house is extremely comfortable and very clean. It’s the first Airbnb in years that hasn’t triggered my dust mite allergy and I’ve been able to avoid antihistamines - which was a lovely thing. Incredibly comfortable beds, amazing bed linen. Fun to cook on an Aga - though there’s a regular oven and hob as well. Really nice bathrooms too. Hosts were friendly and super responsive and thoughtful. Definitely recommend.

We deliberately booked this property to allow us to meet up with our daughters and their boyfriends .. It was exactly as described and we couldn't fault anything. From the location to the communication, from the kitchen to the king-size plus beds this was an amazing property. We wanted peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and that is what we got. Country walks and the opportunity to eat at the bungalow or out at amazing pubs within easy reach this location has it all....We will definitely return in the future and highly recommend it.

We had such a restful stay at The Hollies - it's exceptionally comfortable, elegant and well equipped, in a beautiful location, and Brad and Karen are such considerate hosts. We really didn't want to leave!

We had such a lovely time staying at The Hollies. As soon as we opened the door we felt relaxed and knew we were going to really enjoy our stay. It’s obvious that a lot of love and thought has gone into this place, from the comfy bed with the fluffy cloud-like duvet, right down to the lovely tableware. We spent a cosy night in watching a film on the fantastic projector. While it’s beautifully secluded and peaceful, it’s a short drive to shops and restaurants and an easy walk down to the idyllic river. There’s clearly lots more to explore so we’ll definitely be back for a longer stay.

We have just spent the bank holiday weekend at The Hollies. It is an exceptonally well appointed cottage, spacious and comfortable. It is an idylic location, rolling hills and greenery, and so quiet and peaceful, only some sheep for company. The owners live nearby and are most helpful

We loved our stay at The Hollies! The bungalow has everything needed for a really comfortable and cosy stay. We slept incredibly well in the enormous beds and really enjoyed making toast on the aga for breakfast. The setting is also really special. Looking out of the windows over fields of sheep was a wonderful change for us city-dwellers. The hosts were really kind and helpful and very knowledgeable about the local area and good places to eat. We enjoyed trips to Cockermouth and walking on Hadrian's Wall and it was always a pleasure to get back to the Hollies for a cup of tea!

If you are conscious about the environment, love history and want to stay in a very comfortable holiday house within walking distance of the Roman Wall, then The Hollies is for you. The perfect position for Roman Wall addicts – peaceful and private.
