Beautiful. Peaceful site.
Shepherd's hut (hot tub, private bathroom amenities, three person)
Liked This is my second stay at Offas Dyke retreat. Absolutely beautiful scenery. Things to do inside and outside for adults and children. Really enjoyed the firepit at night enjoying the stars and the pretty lights on the building. The hot tub was to die for, Absolutely amazing , different light settings which looked amazing at night time. Roof over the hot tub which helped when it rained the second night I was there. Would 100% go again.
Disliked There was a bench outside which had been broken and we didnt realise until we sat back but it still didnt ruin our stay.

Camping pod (hot tub, two person)
Liked Delighted with our stay. The camping pod was excellent. Lovely staff and the shared lounge/kitchen/toilet/shower facilities were excellent. The WiFi in the pod was very handy as mobile phone signal is weak in the area. Highly recommend.

Ok but luck of the draw with pitches.
Shepherd's hut (hot tub, private bathroom amenities, three person)
Liked The cleanliness and the hot tub.
Disliked The apartment i had on pitch up wasn't the one confirmed by the owners. Pitched up said i had the Cheviot and I was in Herdwick. This was run down the bench was broken and didnt have bunkbed like the photos advertised. This killed the limited floor space and made it even more cramped with the Dog. It was expected to be tight but didnt help. They also did set up the bed and we had to request this after arrival. For the price think a hotel would have been the better choice unless was staying in the Cheviot pitch. It had dated kids toys and the facilities like pool table you have to pay for.

A fantastic site with excellent amenities & wonderful staff.
Shepherd's hut (hot tub, private bathroom amenities, three person)
Liked Offa's Dyke Retreat is situated near the picturesque village of Longtown and surrounded by beautiful countryside. We fell in love with the area soon after arriving. We stayed in a converted railway carriage that came with fantastic amenities, a double bed, kitchenette with fridge freezer, hob and sink, toilet and shower room. It also came with a private hot tub, that was a fantastic way to start the day and would be the perfect end to long day of hiking, for those coming down off the Offa's Dyke Trail.
The site also comes with fire pits and large social areas, both outside and inside. The inside area has a communal fridge and cooking areas, tables and chairs, sofas, a pool table and table football.
The staff were super friendly and amazingly helpful and accommodating. After I accidentally left my key at the wedding we were attending earlier in the day, one of the staff came out after midnight and found a spare for me until the next day.
