Offa's Dyke Retreat

Μου άρεσε: The cleanliness and the hot tub.

Δεν μου άρεσε: 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.

Μου άρεσε: 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.

Μου άρεσε: Great area with lovely views, fairly private but not yet fully and in a quiet area the host wasn't there on welcoming due to us getting there later on in the evening but didn't have to much properlys finding where we needed to be or how to get into our stay but had clear communication with them prior to arranging, hot tub was great lovely a hot/warm for us on arrival and ready to jump in with all amenities ready for use even one's we had forgotten which was a plus over all great layout site with fair good lighting along the main pathway, local pub was lovely a friendly great for a nice beer and food

Δεν μου άρεσε: More recommendations then dislikes but as an disabled person this could help go along way for future stays.
Lighting from the main pathway to the cabin was solar lighting and wasn't on when we arrived so was abit different seeing where to go could do with a light system that's on a timer based relay or powered sensor.
Hot tub area could do with a bit more privately from the side that was viewable from the next cabin (trees just need to grow more) but in mean time could benefit from a screen or something to give it that privately while the greeny grows fully, would highly recommend hooks and shower curtain to go across the window for that extra bit of privacy (personal) but apart from that was great overall is an upcoming site and can see this being alot better as the site develops in the future

Μου άρεσε: Hut was cosy and bed very comfy and sheltered from the wind. Loved the fact you had your own little garden space. The shared facilities were amazing and we spent the evening chatting to other guests, cooking pizza and playing some of the board games and table football. Only came for one night but would definitely return for longer. Lovely location. Sampled the local for a quick pint and my kind of local, proper pub. All at a very reasonable price. Next time I want a hot tub!

Μου άρεσε: It is in a lovely spot. The roads aren’t very easy. My son and I were touring Wales to give him time driving getting ready for his driving test. We only stayed at the Offas Dyke Retreat one night.
The local shop has a great range of local and general groceries.
The communal space has a range cooker with 6 halogen hot plates and 3 good ovens. There is a large fridge/freezer all of which makes up for the hot plate and microwave in the shepherds huts. There are also several excellent family bathrooms for those huts that don’t have their own.

Δεν μου άρεσε: The cookware is thin aluminium which never has a flat base after its first use and doesn’t work well on standard electric hot plates.
The single bed is transverse above the head of the double bed. That’s life in a small space. For almost all self catering places you need to travel with some of your own kit like your favourite saucepan, knife and pillow.

Μου άρεσε: Lovely quiet place to stay with our 7 year old and 2 dogs.
Clean communal spaces- fully equipped kitchen area was perfect!
Hot tub was well looked after and perfect for a cold autumn evening.
Joey was happy to supply us with some wood for the fire pit which our son loved as he was able to roast marshmallows.
Pub within walking distance was ideal!

Δεν μου άρεσε: The local pub was very quiet and has limited opening hours so lacked a bit of atmosphere but it was within walking distance which was a plus!
