“Fantastic 7 night stay at this beautiful let.”

The place was spotless and well equipped. Hope to be back.

“Lack of cleanliness spoiled an otherwise perfect cottage.”

Food spills on dining table, food spills on table mats, filthy, greasy hob, dirty worktops, filthy kitchen cupboard handles. I have worked as a holiday cottage caretaker for the National Trust, and would have been sacked for leaving the Cottages I was responsible for in the state the Hayloft was in. We had to wait until 6pm to check in, due to a previous late checkout, but the cleaning was just not good enough I’m sorry to say. It has made me think twice about booking through Sykes again...

The property

The Hayloft is a contemporary two bedroom mews cottage with traditional features conveniently located 5 miles east of the historic city of Carlisle.

Ideal for people wanting to explore Hadrian's Wall, the Scottish borders, Solway Coast and northern Lake District. Warwick on Eden, as the names suggests, sits on the banks of the lovely River Eden.

It is five miles east of the historic city of Carlisle and only a five minute drive from the M6.

The village offers an excellent traditional inn which offers a wide choice of food and local ales.

For walkers there are good footpaths across the fields to neighbouring villages such as Scotby and Wetheral.

Carlisle Golf Course is on the edge of the village and is open to visitors all year round. Being only nine miles approximately from the border, the area is steeped in history.

Carlisle Castle, where Mary Queen of the Scots was once imprisoned, Hadrian's Wall along with the Roman Fort of Vindolanda and Lanercost Priory are all a short drive away.

The border city of Carlisle offers entertainment for the whole family from kids soft play to a night out at the theatre for the adults.

There is a wealth of restaurants and bars to relax after a days exploring or shopping at the Lanes shopping centre.

Ideally based to explore the northern Lakes, with Lake Ullswater being just over half an hours drive, the Solway Coast is less than 40 minutes away and the border towns of Hawick, Kelso and Jedburgh all within easy reach. The Hayloft is located in a courtyard with several other similar 'mews style cottages'.

The recently refurbished cottage is equally suited to couples or a family looking for a base in a quiet location but close to the Cumbrian attractions including the northern fells.

About the location

CARLISLE

Gretna Green 13.1 miles; Penrith 19.9 miles; Dumfries 36.2 miles

Carlisle is set in the county of Cumbria, situated just 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders and is nicknamed the Border City. During Roman times the town was established to serve the forts for Hadrian's Wall, which runs east from the city across the country to Wallsend on the east coast and today is recognised as a World Heritage Site. During the Middle Ages, due to its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold and Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, after once serving as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the early 12th century Henry I allowed the foundation of a priory in Carlisle and the town gained the status of a diocese in 1122, resulting in the priory becoming Carlisle Cathedral. The Settle to Carlisle railway runs across some of the most breathtaking scenery to the popular Yorkshire town and Carlisle Racecourse has a packed fixture list including Ladies’ Day and evening fixtures. Within driving distance is the Victorian seaside town of Silloth and just over the border is Gretna Green, where you'll find the Gretna Gateway Shopping Centre and Anvil Hall, the famous wedding venue.
