Over the years many of our guests have left comments in the guest books in each holiday cottage. Below are some recent examples of what people say and why they visit Tottergill Farm..
Thank you for an ultimate stay. We will always remember your friendliness, hospitality and beautiful surroundings. The cottage is extremely the best. We will definately come again! God bless!
The Rossouw family, S.Africa & Musselburgh, Scotland (Watson Cottage) 31st July 2010
Thank you for the fudge, scones and jam and the flowers. the fudge was yummy and the cottage was cosy and warm. We also enjoyed having use of the pool. Charlotte aged 9.
Thank you for a wonderful week, the view and setting is spectacular with plenty to se and do locally. Torn between telling everyone how wonderful it is here or keeping it all to ourselves!!!
Mark, Sue, & Charlotte Bates, Cramlington, Northumberland (Gill Cottage) 30th July 2010
A perfect cottage in a perfect locaton. Incredible views. The cottage has everything we could ask for.
The Thorp family, Ilkley (Garth Cottage) 30th July 2010
Thankyou so much for a lovely stay; superb accommodation, a very warm and friendly welcome and....THE VIEW!! I was sat here last night watching the sun go down and I felt I'd seen a small piece of heaven! We will return, hopefully in the autumn, but definately next spring. Thankyou!
Paul, Collette, Natasha & Jack Rossington & Neil Pickersgill, Denton, Manchester (Low Barn) 26th July 2010
I am sitting at the patio table after breakfast taking a last look at the Cumbrian hills and the sun bathed plain below. Blue tits, Goldfinches, Great tits, Nuthatches and Greater Spotted Woodpeckers visit the regularly stocked feeder to my left (thanks for providing the bird spotting book by the way). Never having been to this corner of England before we expected it to be a good base to visit 'the lakes', how wrong we were. Everything here is a true delight and this is where we spent most of our time. The location is fantastic. If Stephen & Joyce could have controlled the weather, it too would have been impecable. "A half empty reservoir was full by Tuesday. We did visit 'the lakes' on Monday when the rain was heaviest - even that had its own majesty as we saw waterfalls that did not even exist the day before. The weather also gave me a chance to use the log burner, I had forgotten how good it feels to make a fire. Dear Stephen & Joyce - we are determined to come and see you again and we will try to bring all the family and dogs next time. All the best.
Graeme, Sue, Marie & Darcey, Bottesford, Lincs (Low Barn) 23rd July 2010
OK - the weather has at times been a bit grim, but we have managed to get out and about to Lakes, Carlisle, Allen Banks, Hexham etc. We still love the cottages and views - wish you could bottle Tottergill. Thanks to you both, we hope to return. Keep up the good work. Good luck for the next awards - you deserve recognition.
Susan & Nigel Crick, Barnsley (Garth Cottage) 23rd July 2010
Wonderful welcome, wonderful stay. We certainly got the max out of it & didn't spend much time in bed. Extra large woodpecker obviously likes it here too.
Ann & Freda, Lancashire (Gill Cottage) 19th July 2010
Our breath was taken away when we found ourselves here last Friday. The views, the peace and quiet and what a lovely cottage with all the extra touches to make it feel like home.
Carlos has loved watching the birds at the feeders., Alex trying to avoid the sheep with the football Ana the games in the cupboard and the use of the local leisure club. As for me - I'm feeling quite relaxed and city life seems a million miles away. I'm sure it's only 'hast luego' and not 'adios'.
Alison, Carlos, Alex & Ana, Madrid, Spain 15th July 2010 (Garth Cottage)
Our fourth visit to Tottergill. As ever, the warmest of welcomes extended and hospitality second to none. This has been and will continue to be our annual event only next time we look forward to staying in the new Watson Cottage as the children are growing too quickly! All the new and enhanced improvements in the cottage are first class. See you next year.
Paul, Patricia, Charis, Christopher & Michael (Gelt Cottage) 16th July 2010
This is a lovely house with great views. I loved it because there was a TV in every room...that's not the only good bit, the hot tub was awesome...we spent hours in there. The sound on the main TV was wicked...over all an awsomely awesome house. I had a great time.
The Rapinet Family, Sussex & Berkshire (Watson Cottage) 16th July 2010
We loved it, fantastic and great.

Steven & Allison, Leeds (Watson Cottage) 12th July 2010
Thank you for the nice welcome and for the homemade Mars bar cake, fudge and the roses. Enjoyed celebrating Mum & Dads 49th wedding anniversary in beautiful surroundings. Cottage lovely and spotlessly clean. A well deserved award.

John, Joanne & Lianne (Gill Cottage) 9th July 2010
Enjoyed it immensely. Liked the woodpecker, sheep, cows, rabbits and especially the 'Fairy Doors'.
Aidan, Pauline, Roisin and Donna, Dublin (Low Barn) 5th July 2010
What a fantastic place to spend our honeymoon! The cottage is just quality throughout and all the little touches make it even more special from the welcome tray to sitting watching the woodpeckers whilst having breakfast. We can't wait for our next visit.
Mr. & Mrs Mitchell & Family, Driffield (Watson Cottage) 2nd July 2010
We have had a lovely relaxing break, the weather has been kind to us. Loved watching the wild life. Read the story of the farm, it was really interesting to read about how it has changed to what it is today. Thank you for a warm welcome and a lovely barn conversion to stay in.
Noreen & Arthur Woodhead, Northallerton (Low Barn) 2nd July 2010
Cosy, peaceful and a chilled out place to be. Stunning views from the cottage and sitting in the garden in the early morning made you feel as if you had died and gone to heaven. Surrounding area also superb. Amazing place which helps you relax and unwind. Superb.
Graham & Janet Dickie & Meg, Fife (Gill Cottage) 2nd July 2010
From the wonderful views to the 'extra little touches' in the cottage, this has been a wonderful place to chill out, relax and explore the beautiful surroundings. Thank you.

We were here for a wedding in the village and had a wonderful weekend break. It was so relaxing to stay here and we really enjoyed the hot tub.

The Cummings Family, Gateshead (Watson Cottage) 20th June 2010
A fabulous cottage in great surroundings...will come back soon. So relaxing and hot tub - great. Had great meal at the Duke of Cumberland and The weary. Everything to do with this break was of a high standard and very relaxing. Thank you to Stephen & Joyce.
Hollingsworth & Harris Families, Durham (Watson Cottage 18th June 2010
Absolutely breathtaking scenery, fantastic facilites (especially the hot tub) and very friendly people. We had a stressful few days prior to our visit, this has been a tonic - will definately be back!

Jo & Bob, Preston (Low Barn) 18th June 2010
We feel really refreshed, batteries re - charged! Thank you, it has been a lovely fortnight. Only one day when we didnt go out, so very misty, but we had a wonderful day in front of a log fire!! So many lovely birds on the feeders. Thank you Joyce & Stephen, we hope to be back in the autumn.
Kath & Cliff Whittingham, Derby ( Gelt Cottage) 18th of June 2010
Our second fabulous stay! There must be few more wonderful places to go to relax, unwind, & sloww down. Dreaming of a big lottery win in the hope of making an offer that Stephen & Joyce couldn't refuse!! Thank you and see you again soon.
Darren & Cathie Stokes, Huddersfield (Gill Cottage) 18th of June 2010
We have enjoyed our stay at Watson Cottage, the bed was big enough for 6 people, so we had a good rest.
Watson, Skegness (Watson Cottage) 14th June 2010
The hardest thing to do in this cottageis to leave, it is like home, very comfortable, everything you need. Having used it for a base for walking Hadrians Wall Path, the hot tub was invaluable, that with the alcohol managed to ease the pain each night. The views are stunning, the countryside is beautiful! Only complaint, where was the sun, it is supposed to be June! Thank you for everything, you deserve your award, we most definately will be back. Tim & Liz.
I'd like to add an extra thanks to those of Tim. Nigel & I have enjoyed a delightful break here and despite the blisters & aching legs, thoroughly enjoyed walking Hadrians Wall too. The hot tub was a great bonus at the end of the day& eased us into comfortable beds for much needed sleep. We will recommend you to friends & family & hopefully return to walk more of this beautiful part of England. Susie.
Tim & Liz Cook, Nigel & Susuie Palmer, Norah & Desmond Harper, Catherine Bate & Suki the black lab, Cornwall, Hampshire, Berkshire & Yarm (Mill Barn) 11th June 2010
A lovely, peaceful place in a most beautiful setting. Walking Hadrians Wall over the last five days has been amazing but left us little time to enjoy this wonderful cottage - apart from resting weary limbs in the evening. I am sure we will return to explore the area more. Thank you.
Tricia & Geoff Meads, Hampshire (Garth Cottage) 11th June 2010
Lovely, peaceful setting. The cake, fudge and essential provisions were very welcome - thank you. Dotty loved ot too. Access to the internet was very useful, I was pleased this was available. Will recommend and most likely will be back again.
Jean Whewell, Hampshire (Gill Cottage) 11th June 2010
What a beautiful peaceful and picturesque retreat. We've thouroughly enjoyed our perfectly situated cottage with its views, sheep and walks / cycle routes literally from our doorstep. Thank you.
Richard, Angela, Rachel & Mathew, Co. Durham (Garth Cottage) 4th June 2010
Beautiful restfull spot, just the place to unwind and recharge. The view is wonderful even on a wet gloomy day. Thank you Stephen and Joyce for the warm welcome and for the dog gate at the bottom of the hill, brilliant!
Bernie & Maureen Smith, Harrogate (Gill Cottage) 4th June 2010
Fabulous location, accommodation great. Especially enjoyed the area around Lanercost Priory - very peaceful. Duke of Cumberland - very good 'pub' grub and The Weary more expensive but good. A very nice break & the dog loved it.
Paul, Pam, Alison & James, Newcastle (Mill Barn) 5th June 2010
'Far from the maddening crowd' a bit of heaven, sums thos lovely place up!! Kielder water and walks around Hadrian's Wall fantastic. Thank You.
Joyce & Jeff, West Midlands (Gill Cottage) 28th May 2010
Another very restful enjoyable break our 7th here. Weather somewhat chilly but lovely views as ever. Visited Old Brampton church - what a lovely place, off the beaten track, also other landmarks featured on a map of Brampton footpaths. Had a meal at The Duke of Cumberland in Castle Carrock, re opened after 12 years and enjoyed it.
Johnny & Sarah Wilson, Northumberland (Garth Cottage) 28th May 2010
We had an amazing time and the hot tub is fabulous.....Stephen & Joyce were extremely approachable and friendly and provided the perfect setting for our friends hen party - chill, relax, have fun and befriend sheep - BAA! We can't thank Stephen & Joyce enough for letting us stay in the beautiful cottage.
Ros, Nicola, Angela, Nat, Rosie & Louise, Wigan (Mill Barn)
Lovely stay - a special way to celebrate my Dad's 50th birthday, views amazing! Can't wait to come back!

A superb holiday. Lovely comfortable cottage - spectacular views & great weather into the bargain. Thank you.
Janet Fraser, Jean & Una Hamilton, Inverness (Garth Cottage) 21st May 2010
Thank you for making our 10th wedding anniversary so special, expecially the bottle of champagne, flowers and welcome gift. We have both had such a relaxing holiday which is all thanks to the beautiful cottage, scenery and weather. The hot tub is a wonderful treat after a long day. We have been made so welcome by Stephen & Joyce and cannot wait to return to Mill Barn in the future. Thank you once again.
Kevin, Kerry & Gizmo - the dog, West Midlands (Mill Barn) 14th May 2010

Pauline, Cathy + Jaya (Alaskan Malamute), Fife, Scotland (Gill Cottage) 12th May 2010

Wonderful way to spend our 30's! Cottage was fantastic - we'll be back for our 40's.
Kirsten, Jill, Hilary & Emma, Preston & Glasgow (Gelt Cottage) 3rd May 2010
Last here (Mill Barn) in 2001 and it's even better! Due to the amazing welcome, flowers, cakes etc from Stephen & Joyce, we also noticed many improvements. Details like filling the bird feeders when required make a holiday into a special one. Definately will be returning, hopefully to Mill Barn with our family and Watson (it's amazing!) with friends. Will definately recommend!
Jack & Joan Dixon, Scholes Nr. Leeds (Low Barn) 30th April 2010
What a great week we have had. It's been like stepping back in time. We have loved the tranquility and laid back life style. It's been wonderful to sit back and drink in the Creator's handiwork.
Alan & Joan Dix, Sunderland (Gill Cottage) 30th April 2010
Our second and certainly not our last visit. A great time and lovely weather and extremely comfortable cottage. Can recommend The Fantails Restaurant in Weatheral - excellent food and good atmosphere. Local walks are good.
Tom & Margaret Graham (Garth Cottage) 25th April 2010
We've had a fantastic week here. Weather has been very good the best we've ever had in Cumbria. Enjoyed bird watching through the window and also enjoyed the fantastic views. Thank you for tiffin cakes and fudge.
Jim & Joy Lush, Somerset (Gill Cottage) 23rd April 2010
Thank you for the excellent service and provision, and for the welcoming touches and kindness.
Martin & Vanessa Mason, Aston-le-Walls, Northants (Garth Cottage) 19th April 2010
Had a lovely weekend. Children enjoyed and so did we. Thanks again xx
Reshma, Akshay, Rigel Sule & Friends, Cheshire (Gelt Cottage) 19th April 2010
What a truly great week we have had here! The cottage is top quality, extremely clean and what a nice welcome - biscuits, fudge and flowers. We have come on holiday with our 22 month old boy Jack and we are extremely impressed with the facilities provided for a baby/toddler. Jack has loved waking up to the ''sheepies'' every morning and Walby Farm is a must-do for those with kids. We all spent a fab day there. So sad to be going home tomorrow, but going home in the knowledge we are already planning our next trip here. Had a comfortable, relaxing stay in lovely surroundings. Thank you!
Russell, Sarah & Jack Herdis, Edinburgh (Gelt Cottage) 16th April 2010
A first visit to Tottergill for us, hopefully not the last. Weather very kind to us; a week of dry days - several of them sunny! - meant that we got to fully appreciate the fabulous views, descriptions of which could barely do them justice. We combined days out (Hadrian's Wall, Caerlaverock & Carlisle) with more local excursions (Talkin Tarn, Brampton) and the walks around the reservoir and up the fell. The birds in the garden were fantastic, also the ducks/geese on the reservoir and the treecreeper down the drive. Very comfortable cottage... almost regret that it wasn't cold enough to need the fire! Thank you for a super relaxing break.
Philip, Helen, Sophie & Isabel Clements, Lancashire (Garth Cottage) 16th April 2010
Lovely week - went far too quickly! Weather was great and enjoyed sitting out on decking and watching the sun go down. Hot tub a real treat and an opportunity for family discussion and debate. No one argues in the hot tub! Would love to come again.
Rob, Fiona, Matthew, Ewan & Isobel, Durham (Mill Barn) 16th April 2010
Wow!! What a wonderful place, cottage lovely, views fantastic. Had a great break here, even though weather could have been better. Will certainly come back here. Thank you for the easter eggs - a lovely touch
Debbie, Glyn, Beth & Riley, Derbyshire (Gill Cottage) 9th April 2010
What a lovely place... everything is such high standard - a real pleasure to holiday here. Thank you x. If anything, hooks by the hot tub may be useful for towels - just an observation, not a criticism!
David & Grace Metcalfe, Ingleton, North Yorks. (Watson Cottage) 9th April 2010
We had a very comfortable, enjoyable week here - lots of great cycling and tasty food stops en route. Thank you for the easter eggs also - a very generous touch. A lovely part of the world to visit. Thanks.
Mark, Gillian, Corrie & Hannah & Dougal the dog, Pitlochry (Low Barn) 9th April 2010
I've lost count of the times we have stayed at ''Totters''! Thank you Stephen & Joyce. Again we have had a great holiday here visiting all our friends in Cumbria. Very much looking forward to seeing you again in August!
Moira, John, Maddy & Liv, Leamington Spa (Mill Barn) 2nd April
Beautiful setting and such cozy and lovely cottages. Thank you!

Fantastic! Our 6th stay here.
Christie & Keith Huffman, Great Falls, VA, USA (Garth Cottage) 1st April 2010
One of many of our visits to Tottergill, the place just gets better. Made up our minds to come this weekend at 5.20pm Friday, by six was on the road and coming north. The food at 'The Duke' (Castle Carrock) is cooking with passion by a young female chef. Probably the best Ploughman's I have ever had.
Mike & Jan Brimacombe & Dogs, Gloucestershire (Gill Cottage) 28th March 2010
We must hold the world record for staying at Tottergill - 7 weeks since November '09! There is a reason: it became our temporary home following flooding of our house at the same time as the Cockermouth deluge. We are returning to our home today and are sad to be leaving the calm and tranquility and the kindness of Joyce and Stephen.
Susan & Michael Fox, Carlisle (Gelt Cottage) 26th March 2010
Lovely to be back, had a lovely week, weather has not been too bad and enjoyed a relaxing break, thanks to Stephen and Joyce for the lovely welcome as usual, we'll be back again next year as we love coming here. Thanks for having us.
Pat and Jim Hawkyard, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Low Barn) 26th March 2010
Thank you again for another lovely visit. The cottage never disappoints - so warm & comfortable. The weather was mixed but the log burner such a delight that it doesn't matter - we hope to be back again soon.
Pam & Arthur Olson, Nottingham (Garth Cottage) 22nd March 2010
Fabulous weekend birthday - full of suprises one after the other. Jacuzzi brilliant. Accommodation excellent especially welcoming package. Lottie loved the walks. Would definitely like to come back sometime. Thank you xx
Yvonne & Derek Clarke, Alison & Rich Bump & Lottie, Suzanne & Phil, North Wales. (Mill Barn) 21st March 2010
Lovely cottage, lovely views, lovely people. Enjoyed watching the birds, phesants and woodpeckers. Monty especially enjoyed chasing the phesants. Thank you Stephen & Joyce for allowing us to share your home!
Michael & Julie Fearnley & ''Monty'' the dog (Sheltie) Bridlington, Yorkshire (Gill Cottage) 18th March 2010
Just want to say a big thankyou, it's been the perfect weekend break, myself and Helen have enjoyed the birthday suprise, thankyou for the champagne, it's such a perfect place and the best surroundings. We will be back xx
Mark & Sarah, Helen & Rick, Cheshire (Mill Barn) 15th March 2010
We have had the best weather, the cottage was great, a bit of Old World charm. Cheers from the Jones'
Gary & Lisa Jones, Queensland, Australia (Garth Cottage) 15th March 2010
Our first visit to this part of Cumbria - what a well-kept secret! We thought the cottage was excellent and so peaceful in this stunning locality. We had fantastic weather to sample the lovely local walks and Daisy really enjoyed romping about in your feilds. Thank you so much for your welcoming manner, we really enjoyed our break and would love to return.
Janet and Adam Ion & Wheaten Terrier 'Daisy', Ellesmere, Shropshire (Low Barn Cottage) 11th March 2010
Another relaxing week and the weather has been fantastic, snow and sun!! We'll definately be back. Thanks.
Jon and Carole Hall & Joker, Sheffield, S.Yorkshire (Gill Cottage) 6th March 2010
Had a lovely weekend, great cottage and very peaceful. Thank you.
Gary and Helen, Nottigham (Gelt Cottage) 1st March 2010
What a wonderful weekend we have had. The cottage is beautiful, providing us with everything we needed and more. What better way to end the day than in the fantastic hot tub, looking up at the stars. The homemade cakes were delicious and just the energy booster we needed during our walk in the Lake District. We can't wait to come back, in fact we are already planning a return visit next year. (to celebrate Anna's 41st birthday, but sshhh, don't tell her I said that, she tells everyone she's 28!)
Jenny Wright & Co. Derbyshire/Staffordshire (Mill Barn) 21st Febraury 2010
Had a wonderful weekend away!! Would definately reccommend the cottages to our friends and family, as they are top quality. Thank you, Adam & Hannah.
Hannah Hairsine & Adam Robinson, Rudston, Yorkshire (Gelt Cottage) 21st February 2010
Lovely to see a Great Spotted Woodpecker, also we saw a pheasant. We made a mistake and went down a mud trail and rescued by Stephen who luckily had a tractor and pulled us out. And had a fantastic time running around the field with Yasmine. Definately be back some time soon x
Mike, Tess, Olivia, Jonathan & Yasmine. Wilmslow, Cheshire (Low Barn) 21st February 2010
We have had the best cottage holiday so far here! Spectacular views from the living and bedrooms to wake up to. The children said you "were the best ever." The bird feeders were fantastic and really made it for us as we loved seeing gold finches and woodpeackers and the pheasant with his harem. All the lovely touches in the cottage meant we had to bring nothing extra from home! Brilliant. We look forward to another visit!
Fiona & Paul, Alexander & Ciara Charlton. Manchester (Garth Cottage) 20th February 2010
We've had a lovely relaxing old fashioned family holiday...lots of walks in the hills, cosy nights in by the fire, good meals and played lots of board games... we've even baked cakes! The cottage is wonderful - with everything you could need for a perfect holiday...The welcome biscuits and flowers were just the icing on the cake...Thank you for a wonderfil holiday x
Caroline, Mark, Luke and Kate (Low Barn) 19th February 2010
Well we're back whilst a boiler was installed and some electrical work started. No plastering or kitchen in sight so we'll be back soon. Thank goodness for Tottergill!
Susan & Mike Fox, Carlisle (Gill Cottage) 19th February 2010
Had a lovely time once again...See you again, Joyce and Steve - thank you!
Simon, Michelle, Adam, Julian & Nathan Green (Gelt Cottage) 17th February 2010
Thank you for a lovely weekend. We particularly enjoyed a full day's walk, from Housesteads along the wall to Twice Brewed for lunch, then back to the car via the Vindolanda. We ate at The Weary (pretty good), at The Phesant (great home cooking, lovely fire and service) and had a good value carvery Sunday lunch at the Blacksmith's at Talkin. P.S We too want out own HOT TUB now.
The Bunney Family, St. Andrews, Scotland (Mill Barn) 15th February 2010
1st time at Mill Barn, what a great weekend. Fantastic welcome from Joyce & Steve, lovely accommodation. Fantastic group of friends, a weekend to remember. We will definately be back and would highly recommend. Karen & Mark Drew.
The Drews, The Skeltons, The Baileys (Mill Barn) 8th February 2010
This is our first visit to Tottergill and it has been a very memorable stay, our son's wedding in Comlogoncastle, and then back to the cottage to rewind and find out just how tired we all were. We never needed for anything as it is like home all mod cons and comfort. We would like to thank Joyce and Steve for a lovely holiday and plan to come back again with Millie our dog.
Phil and Mary Rymes, Shepton Mallet, Somerset (Low Barn) 5th February 2010.
Another relaxing few days at Tottergill, what a lovely place. Thank you and see you again soon!
Harriet & Carola Barber, Kingskerswell, Devon (Garth Cottage) 5th February 2010
Thank you for a wonderful stay, some nice walks and cosy nights in by the fire. "Thankyou" Stephen & Joyce for making the festive season so special and to top it all off THE SNOW! We look forward to another stay with you and wishing you every success with your new cottages.
Karl & Dianne Skaife, Lincolnshire (Low Barn) 4th January 2010
Fantastic time, cosy accomodation and lovely to see you. Trust 2010 is a great year for you. God Bless. Love Bernard & Chris.
We have enjoyed these few days in your cottage very much. Nice and cosy even though it is so cold outside. Daniel wants us to buy it off you so we will live nearer to them and so they can come and visit. Chris x
We enjoyed sledging and the beds are really comfortable. Daniel : )
We have really enjoyed these past few days, it was fun watching Daniel and Dad sledging. Kathy.
We have enjoyed our time and thank you and watching the sledging. James.
Bernard & Chris, Wallingford and Kathy, James & Daniel, Hawick. (Gelt Cottage) 1st January 2010
2nd time at Mill Barn, 1st in the summer and this time over Christmas. Can't remember the last time looking out to snow on Christmas Day. Felt at home in about 5 minutes. Thanks Stephen & Joyce for the warm welcome. Everyday sledging, fantastic!
The Shreeve Family & Moore Family, Gt. Yarmouth, Norfolk (Mill Barn) 30th December 2009
It's lovely to see Stephen and Joyce again and we have had another great Christmas at Tottergill, especially with the snow making it a winter wonderland this year. Thank you.
Simon, Tracey & Oliver Wiles, Sheffield, S.Yorks (Garth Cottage) 28th December 2009
We have had a wonderful Christmas here. A lovely warm welcome from Stephen and Joyce (in fact from all the Wightman family). Everything has been provided to make our stay a memorable one. Lovely to have the snow and the sledges to use on it. A really perfect winter wonderland.
Sue Hargreaves, Les Hortensias, France. (Gill Cottage) 27th December 2009
Extremely nice hosts. Couldn't do enough for us - especially gritting the road every day. Excellent cottage, very comfortable and everything provided. The shortbread and flapjacks were an excellent touch. Sledging was also great, despite the bumps and bruises. Many thanks. Jane and Vincent.
Jane, Vincent & Emma, Brighton, E. Sussex (Low Barn Cottage) 27th December 2009
Not so much a holiday - more a refuge from our flooded house. However, with the view, the tranquility and cosy cottage, it soon became a relaxing break. Back to a stripped house!
Susan & Mike Fox, Carlisle. (Gill Cottage) 18th December 2009
Marie and Frances told me about Totergill and we came for Christmas Shopping. When they explain about here they can not do justice to the beautiful, breathtaking views, old buildings and of course frances's "oak tree." Stephen and Joyce have got it right. The cottages are perfect, welcoming and homely and they are fantastic hosts. I have had a wonderful stay and will be back, same place, same time, next year. Thank you!
June, Ellesmere Port, Wirral (Garth Cottage) 11th December 2009
Third visit this year - not much time spent at the cottage this time - Christmas Shopping - Steve and I will be back next year, hope to get some walks in next time. Thanks Joyce and Steve for the usual high standard and the flowers and ''goodies'' on arrival. God bless you both and family xxx
Steve and Angela Lamb, Heysham, Lancs (Gelt Cottage) 9th December 2009
1st time at Tottergill, very nice location. Lovely cottage and cakes on arrival. Thanks Steve & Joyce.
Naomi & Ian Pierpoint, Heysham, Lancs (Gelt Cottage) 9th December 2009
This is our fifth stay, and you know we will be back soon. It is definitely just like home for us now. The proximity to our daughter and her family is wonderful. The views and accommodation are fantastic. We always feel happily welcomed.
Christie and Keith Huffman, Great Falls, VA, USA (Garth Cottage) 4th December 2009

Gorgeous cottage, just so relaxing. Had everything we needed. Weather was wet but that made it even better as we got to spend so much time enjoying the log fire. Will definitely be back and telling our friends about your place.
Dan, Lee-Ann, Floyd (black lab) and The Bump (due in April), Wiltshire (Low Barn) 6th November 2009
Our first visit to Tottergill, and we will definitely be back. The photos on the website dont do the place justice. Weather was cold and raining but that just made the log fire all the better after a nice walk. The Weary is worth a visit for a nice meal. See you soon.

Our second time in Tottergill, first in cosy little Gill Cottage. Like everyone else we love the peace, the views, the huge skies, the birds and the welcome from Stephen & Joyce. We've tried all 3 walks in the cottage book plus Talkin Tarn and a long one along the Pennine Way from Alston - all delightful in different ways. A beautiful area. Thank you. (We loved the cakes too!)
Stella & Norman, Cardiff, Wales (Gill Cottage) - 3rd October 2009
This is our 2nd visit to Tottergill (Low Barn Cottage) we first visited in May for my birthday, and we have looked forward to returning since. Again we have had a wonderful time met with a lovely welcome from Stephen & Joyce.
We visited Hadrian's Wall again this time Northumberland National Park (Housesteads Roman Fort) where we took a guided tour, we had a great time & the dogs loved it too. Thirlwall Castle was interesting. We visited Talkin Tarn again and enjoyed a pastry or two : ). We enjoyed a bargain at the Cumwhitton Festival. What a treat when we spotted two deer grazing in the field at Tottergill!
The tranquility, the wildlife, the beautiful cottages, we will most definitely be back.
P.S The home made Cappuccino cupcakes left for our welcome at Low Barn Cottage were very tasty!
P.P.S the lyrics game is brill!

The Metcalfs & Asberry's Staffs and Leicester (Mill Barn)- 28th September 2009
For us this has been a superb location with views, walks, tranquility - so difficult to leave such a wonderful part of the UK. So much to discover within a short distance - Hadrian's Wall, Eden Valley, Geltdale, Gelt Woods - we didn't have time to go to the Lakes!!! despite being here for 2 weeks. Found some fantastic tearooms - try Wetheral & Lanercost Priory, Megs Tearoom. Accommodation - so homely and had everything and more than we expected "5 STAR"! We really hope to come back.
Julie & Chris Lawrence, Lichfield, Staffs (Gelt Cottage)- 25th September 2009

Norman & Colette Aldrich, Co. Durham (Garth Cottage)- 25th September 2009

David & Rosemary Ketley (& Meg), Sharington, Cheshire (Low Barn) - 25th September 2009

Kathryn, James and Jack, Wellington, Somerset. (Gill Cottage) - 22nd September 2009
We have had the most relaxing week here in Low Barn. The weather has been fantastic (not a drop of rain!) and the views, in particular the sunsets have been beautiful. We have enjoyed walks around 'Talkin Tarn' and alongside the river at Armathwaite and Coombs Wood. Brampton supplied us with all the goodies we needed for our cosy nights in in front of the fire! Thank you so much, we will be back!
Carolyn & Nigel, Bolton, Lancashire. (Low Barn Cottage) - 18th September 2009
Just wanted to say 'thank you' for such a lovely week! Loved the cottage, was great. I needed to be dragged away especially from the log fire.

Melissa & David Seabridge, Abingdon, Oxford. (Garth Cottage) - 18th September 2009

John, Pauline & Fiz, Cheshire. (Gill Cottage) - 18th Septemebr 2009
Lush place, great home comforts, beautiful surroundings and all in all super place. Came for pals 40th birthday retreat and we were all massively made up. The place met and exceeded our expectations.

Penny & Gordon Wren & Nell. N.Yorks. (Low Barn) - 11th September 2009
A wonderful week. Weather during the first weekend did not deter us from what we wanted to do. So many things to do and see. Only drawback was that we didn't see Red Squirrels despite several concentrated attempts to sight them. It was like being at home for a week with added extras in the form of wildlife and varied things to do. Excellent accommodation. Well set out and organised. Hope to return next year. Cannot fault anything. The pastries and welcome pack was a wonderful touch. Will recommend the area to many people when we return home and certainly recommend Tottergill for it's charm and friendly and helpful advice and thoughtfulness.
Paul & Linda Pickett, Graham & Denise Wheatley. Peterborough. (Garth Cottage) - 11th September 2009
Lovely cottage, great holiday, amazing views, wonderful Rocky Road!, hedge-eating sheep, woodpecker on nuts (& pheasant!) Thank you!! Didn't want to leave, dogs grew quite attached to the place - as did we; would like to come back again. (Enjoyed the lyrics game aswell, lots of fun!) The week went too fast! xxx
John, Jo, Lianne & Hadleigh (Moppet & Pippin). Coxbench, Derbyshire (Low Barn) - 4th September 2009
A very comfortable and well equipped cottage - every requirement has been anticipated. We loved the fabulous views - our only regret is that we did not have the weather to sit out and enjoy them. Although we did manage to use the hot tub on our one fine evening and it was a fantastic experience. The weather did not prevent us getting out and about and we found the cottage well situated for following Reiver history and tracking down our ancestors. In fact there is so mcuh to do here we may have to come back for another visit! - hopefully with some sunshine. Thanks for a memorable holiday.
I liked the water wheel. - Daniel, Age 7

Keith, June and Finlay. Tranent, East Lothian (Gelt Cottage) - 4th September, 2009

Ian, Jenny and 'Sandy' Wilkinson, Hertfordshire - 29th May 2009 (Low Barn)
If I ever doubted the existence of God, my week spent here has totally changed that. Watching the clouds changing second by second and the sun shining through and then disappearing has been absolutely awesome. Added to this, the wonderful display of bird activity and beauty have been a joy to watch. And then the wonderful sight and sounds of the sheep and lambs bleeting. A wonderful and spiritual experience, A holiday to be remembered forever. P.S. I'm going to miss the woodpecker so much!
David, Barbara, Sarah & Kizzy, Middlesbrough - 29th May 2009 (Gill Cottage)

This holiday has been one of the nicest holidays i have had - and that's saying something! I wish I dont have to leave, but unfortunately the saying too much of a good thing comes to mind. Thank you, Stephen & Joyce.
Jim, Jenny, Mathew & Poppy, Sandbach, Cheshire - 22nd may 2009 (Low Barn)
A dream cottage with breathtaking views. Dog friendly with lots of lovely walks. Talkin Tarn 3 miles away is beautiful, with lovely lake and delicious pastries. A very warm welcome, with homemade Apple & Almond Sweetbread, with blackberry preserve (scrumptious!) Fantastic start to a wonderful break. A wonderful birthday treat! Thank you! We look forward to coming back soon. Thank you Stephen & Joyce. P.S. Dogs had a fantastic time and are now worn out.

The Steensons - 18th May 2009 (Mill Barn)
Our first time at Tottergill and it wont be the last. Views are wonderful and loved watching the lambs and birds (the lambs are so comical and kept us entertained after a long day out). The cottage is lovely - everything you could wish for - very cosy and great to come home to. Weather perfect as well (apart from Friday but who cares, it's still heaven). Thanks Stephen & Joyce - see you again soon.
David & Tracy Walsh, Staffordshire - 16th May 2009 (Garth cottage)

David & Rosemary Ketley, Cheshire - 8th May 2009 (Low Barn)
Fantastic, could not have wished for more, very welcoming, the cottage was beautiful, and the log fire was a welcome change to the electric one at home, many hours spent in the jacuzzi looking over a sensational view.
We were here to celebrate my partners 50th, we had three cottages in total so there were fourteen of us, we partied all weekend and enjoyed the local activities, paintballing, shooting, golf, horse riding and even went to the local car show. Weather was fab, sunny with a little wind. All in all it was the best weekend for all and such a memorable 50th for Ian. many thanks, I will recomend to all.
Ian, Paula, Jole, Daryl, Adrian and Luke, Manchester, Portsmouth & Southampton - 4th May 2009 (Mill Barn)
What a wonderful location! Haven't slept so well in ages. Gelt wood is great for walks and Talkin tarn for a leisurely stroll. The team at New mills Trout Fishery were great - but closed Mondays. Good chance we will be back in the winter.
Paul & Laurette, Brentwood, Essex - 25th April 2009 (Gill cottage)
Another great few days, the perfect wind down location. You always make us so welcome and the cottage is short of nothing. We will be back soon I hope!
Lesley & Michael Saxon, Cheshire - 24th April 2009 (Low Barn)
Wow! What a wonderful cottage, location & company. the lambs and sheep outside kept the family amused for the duration! the cottage was beautiful, and could not be any better equipped! The morning view is magnificent, puts a smile on your face all day long! The jacuzzi was brilliant....sitting under the stars at night is a perfect way to end the day!
Of all the places / cottages I looked for to celebrate my Mums 50th birthday, I could not have picked a more perfect place! She was thrilled to be here, and could only have wished we stayed for a further 5 days.
We have visited Nenthead mines which was a great / cold & wet but funny experience, and we also recommend 'The Weary' for food, the bar lady was very kind. Well done Stephen & Joyce. Thank you. Kayleigh.
Elaine, Greg, Michael, Kieran, Kayleigh, Amy, Abigail, Georgina & Dibbles (the dog), Caterham & Warlingham, Surrey - 23rd of April 2009 (Mill Barn)
Our 9th and certainly not last visit to Tottergill, everything we need is here to recharge our batteries. Excellent cottages with every home comfort, extra touches like fudge make all the difference.

We went down Nenthead Mines, we went to the beach and it was really really windy, we went to Walby Farm Park and it was great . We fed the lambs milk, saw day old chicks and ducklings, we held one of the kittens. The hot tub at night was a wonderful sight, saw loads of stars and the great bear. Would love to come back. By Amy (age 7).

What a wonderful part of the world. We loved staying in your cottage and only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for providing the garden birds book.

The Dyer family, Pennsylvania, USA - 10th April 2009 (Garth cottage)
We have had a wonderful time staying here. We have done some long walks and we went to high force waterfall. It was a huge waterfall. We also went for a nice meal at 'The blacksmiths Arms' in Talkin. The food was superb. Also we enjoyed watching the new born lambs, they were so funny and cute. We also swam in the leisure centre everyday and the pool was fab. We really enjoyed our stay and we hope we can come again.

What a wonderful place to spend our golden Wedding. After a longish journey how lovely to walk into such a cosy comfortable cotage and lovely furnishings. Thank you Joyce & Stephen for the welcome tray, fresh flowers and what a surprise when I opened the fridge - a bottle of Champagne!! The views here are stunning, love the place, with such a variety of birds and thrilled to see a couple of Deer in the field just over the cottage fence. Visited Houghton Hall garden centre and the miniture museum, displaying room sets of beautiful furniture at 1/12th scale of originals. The craftsmanship and skill is awsome - spent a whole day there - it's a must see place.Have been to the Lake District and other places - easy reach from 'Tottergill'. Will certainly recommend Tottergill Farm to our friends, and intend coming back to Gelt cottage. Thank you Joyce & Stephen for letting us enjoy our Golden Wedding in such a lovely, peaceful place.

Barry & Di French, Dover, Kent - 14th March 2009 (Gill cottage)
We could not have been further from the heat and fired of Melbourne.

Vicky, Bobby & 1 year old Niall, Wirrall - 7th February 2009 (Low Barn)
Had a very enjoyable and relaxing 9 days, plenty of walks, and coming back to a log fire was idyllic. Cottage very cosy, the views brilliant - managed to see the deer, grouse, pheasant and hares up on the moors.
Trip out to High Force - through Alston - over the high fells in snow made a couple of pensioners very happy sliding about in the snow!

Simon, Tracy & Oliver Wiles, Sheffield - 28th December 2008 (Low Barn)
As we walked into the cottage after a long journey, it was heavenly to see the fire burning and the Christmas tree twinkling, with homemade mince pies and a lovely cup of tea to refresh us.
We had a great week with lots of walking. Highlights were the carol service at Carlisle cathedral on Christmas eve, and wathing the red squirrels at Talkin Tarn Country Park on Christmas day and Boxing day as they jumped from branch to branch in the sunshine!
Alan & Helen Nicholson, Suffolk - 27th December 2008 (Garth cottage)
Lovely stay again and a great Christmas, no stress, no hassel. the cottage once again spotless and inviting, surrounded by wonderful countryside, and peace and calm. Just what we needed - thank you.
Adine & Eddie Halliwell, Leicester - 27th December 2008 (Gelt cottage)
Enjoyed romantic nights in front of the wood burner with only the sound of the wind and rain to keep us company. A charming rustic cottage surrounded by spectacular mountain views, capped with snow and sprinkled with a glistening frost - this place is serenity personified! An idyllic Christmas retreat before the chaos ensues and a perfect place to spend our first anniversary. Enjoyed the silence! With thanks for your generosity.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable cottages - we'll be back. Just one complaint.....time passes too quickly! Thank you Stephen & Joyce.

The Pearce & Smith families, Bourton on the Water and Swindon - 15th November 2008 (Mill Barn)
Excellent location, great accommodation, delightful walks nearby, we have had a great short break. 'Gelt woods' is a walk to die for and within minutes of the cottage. 'The Weary' provides great food and if arranged on booking will drive you home. Stephen & Joyce are natural hosts - thank you.

Wanted some chill out time and achieved that. Had a lovely time, comfortable and quiet cottage accesible to the Lakes and Hadrian's Wall. The leisure club was a must and was reason we chose this cottage. We visited about 6 times and had 3 treatments as well. Lovely.
The Perry family, Edingburgh - 26th October 2008 (Gelt cottage)

Donald, Elizabeth & Susie Coates & Garry, Newcastle & Clitheroe - 18th October 2008 (Garth cottage)
Brilliant week of just "chilling out". Looking out on the great views, I kept thinking I was down at the lakes. The sunsets and night lights accross the Eden Valley & Solway are spectacular!! Lovely hosts, lovely cottage - a lovely week! Thank you. Why travel to other shores when this is on your door step!
Mark & Kathy Knight, Carlisle, Cumbria & Brisbane, Australia - 17th October 2008 (Gill cottage)
Our 12th visit - but only our second in Low Barn. Still lovely - wish we could bottle the view & take it home. Fairly good weather for autumn - managed some walks. Thanks again for a lovely break - feel sure we will return!!
Susan & Nigel Crick, Barnsley - 16th October 2008 (Low Barn)

Pat & Jim Hawkyard, Newcastle upon Tyne - 10th October 2008 (Gelt Cottage)
Many thanks to Stephen & Joyce. We've had a great week in a beautiful part of the country.

Have really enjoyed watching the birds in the garden every morning, especially the woodpeckers. Might even bring our dog next time - she'd love it!
Paul & Sue Edmunds, Lincoln - 10th October 2008 (Low Barn)
Did not know what to expect when we drove here, windy roads, nothing around apart from the rabbits running along the road! I have to say this has been the most memorable weekend, the accommodation was fabulous, surroundings outstanding, people friendly. Definately one to recommend...or not hmm!!! Thank you very much. P.S. The champagne and cake was a lovely touch and what can I say about the hot tub! It was enjoyed by all especially Ruby & Jake. A very special birthday surprise.
The Heywood Family, Penwortham - 6th October 2008 Mill Barn

Helen & Alan Nicholson, Suffolk - 27th September 2008 (Garth Cottage)
Our third visit to Tottergill and it is as lovely as ever. We never want to leave. Thanks to Stephen & Joyce for your warm welcome.

Carolyn & Marshall Hawes with Charlie the Border Terrier, Tiverton, Devon - 26th September 2008 (Gill Cottage)
Enjoyed our short break in this comfortable cottage. Would recommend 'early doors' meals at 'The Weary'. Hope to return in the spring.
Jim & Jenny Abbott, Sandbach, Cheshire - 25th September 2008 (Low Barn)
Once again worth the long drive for the view, birds and peace and quiet. Well equipped comfortable accommodation. Loads of places to visit, whatever the weather. Never enough days to fit it all in. Hoping to return. A strange place to visit on holiday but Houghton Hall Garden Centre on the outskirts of Carlisle is worth a visit, if only for the restaurant and farm shop. Have seen woodpeckers, nuthatches, pheasants, red squirrel, swans on the road and a hare in the field.
Marian & Geoff Day, Ipswich, Suffolk - 20th September 2008 (Garth Cottage)
A lovely week, time passed too quickly! Helvellyn finally conquered - shame it was misty at the top. Love the area - we will be back sometime! Thank you.
P.S. Sunday evening meal at Fantails in Wetheral was a bargain!!

Cosy cottage in a gorgeous setting. Very relaxing week. Loved the woodburner, scones on arrival, flowers. Lovely touches which makes it extra special. Thank you!

Despite the weather, we enjoyed our second stay here and I am sure we will return. 'A room with a VIEW!'
Richard & Heather Bowman, Bristol - 12th September 2008 (Gill Cottage)
Loved our ime here. The views are fantastic and although not bird watchers by nature, you can't help but be fascinated by the antics of the woodpeckers, pheasants and if I am not mistaken a grouse! Anybody looking for a nice place to eat, we had some great food from the bar menu at 'The Weary'. We won't hesitate in recommending 'Tottergill' as a good holiday destination.
Anita, Gary & Daniel Pitts - 5th September 2008 (Garth Cottage)
We have had a fantastic holiday here at 'Totters'. A fortnight of activities, we've had a ball! Looking forward to next year - our third here! Thank you Stephen & Joyce.

Beautiful surroundings and cottage.

The long journey here was definately worth it. A lovely well-equipped cottage which we have been thrilled to return to after each of our very full and exhausting days out.
Dave, Joe & Mathew Cocker, Fareham, Hants - 23rd August 2008 (Garth Cottage)
Well worth the long drive from the south coast. Never visited the 'Lakes' before - and glad we did! The cottage was great - cosy, homely, peaceful and the views were lovely. Locally we enjoyed Talkin Tarn (rowing on the lake, feeding the ducks etc.) and the pub in Talkin provided good grub and at reasonable prices. Hope other guests enjoy it as much as us!
The Miles family, Southampton - 23rd August 2008 (Mill Barn)
Lovely cottage with all that you could need. Great info, really helpful. Gorgeous setting, the children loved the freedom and the sheep. All in all a great week. Thank you.
Ireally enjoyed being here and had so much fun I wanted to stay but I have got to go home, I hope I can come again. Gorgeous scenery and cottage (and if Joyce is reading this, thank you!) and EVERYTHING!! Emma P.S. by everything I ment everything was beautiful.
The Thornber Family, Wirral - 22nd August 2008 (Gelt cottage)
Cumbria is so under rated - what a beautiful county with Tottergill boasting one of the best views of all!! The housekeeping standards in the cottage were excellent. Loved the cosy fire, quality bedding, flowers and yummy fudge. Thank you, keep up the great work.
Vincent, Alexandra & Baby Cormac, Roker, Sunderland - 20th August 2008 (Gill cottage)
We had a great time in this lovely cottage despite the dreadful weather! A lovely area with lots to explore. The leisure club was a bonus and we used the swimming pool, squash courts and gym during our stay. Talkin Tarn was one of our favourites and great for the dog. Our boys really enjoyed the fishing at New Mills Trout Farm and provided us with tea! Our little one enjoyed Walby Farm Park. A great house in a great location!
The Boyd family & Sparkie the dog, York - 16th August 2008 (Mill Barn)
We were really overwhelmed with the surroundings and the overall standard of the cottage. The 'impotant information' was very useful, it certainly made us make the most of our week. We visited Hadrian's Wall, Gretna Green, Brampton, Carlisle, Keswick, Ullswater Lake, Wetherall and of course Castle Carrock. We swam at the Crown Hotel 3 times and found the staff and facilities first rate. We had lunch 3 times at the Weary Sportsman in Castle Carrock and were really impressed by the food and excellent service on each occasion. In particular we found our hosts Stephen & Joyce very warm and friendly and Tottergill Farm very welcoming. It was a very special holiday for us as it was our first as a family and Finlay took his first steps in the cottage aged 1 year & 1 week. Thank you once again Tottergill Farm for a lovely holiday!
Tony, Jo, Bradley & Finlay Barrett, Taunton, Somerset - 15th August 2008 (Gelt cottage)
Our 2nd visit, had another fantastic time. Went to Ullswater, Windermere, Grasmere, St. Bees and went swimming a couple of times at the Crown Hotel at Wetheral. Lovely cottage. Thank you.
Rebecca, Ian, Tom & Claire, Huddersfield - 15th August 2008 (Low barn)
Lovely cottage, beautiful countryside views. We really enjoyed our stay & hope to come again. James really loved the birds in the garden, particularly the woodpecker & pheasants. We have been to the area many times but we think this is the best with everything provided. James wanted to stay! Hope to visit again.
June, Derek & James, Barnsley - 9th August 2008 (Garth cottage)
Spectacular location, stunning scenery and ideally placed for visits to the lakes, the north east & scotland. Also all the local sites of interest. The cottage is beautiful and the use of the local club an added bonus. We enjoyed the wildlife - birds & red squirrels and even listening to and watching the sheep. We hope to be back with the rest of the family. Thanks Angela & Mark.
Mark, Angela & Jonathan Elling, Salisbury - 8th August 2008 (Gelt cottage)

What an amazing place! 360degree views, great for the soul! Cottage very comfortable - didn't need the heating on though! Lots of lovely touches. Home from home. Great walks from the cottage. Children loved watching the sheep & birds. Lambley viaduct well worth a visit, used The Blacksmiths Arms, atmosphere great, friendly staff, good food, beer great. Can't wait to come back.

Heather & Paul, Jake & Sally Anne, Alexandria, Scotland - 11th July 2008 (Gill cottage)

The Burkes, Banks & Taylors, Durham & Manchester - 7th July 2008 (Mill Barn)

Thoroughly enjoyable family holiday spent in first class, well equipped accommodation enhanced by the welcoming touches provided by Joyce and Stephen. Picturesque situation, surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the country-side. Hope we might be able to return at some date in the future.
The Hendry family, Aberdeen - 14th June 2008 (Mill Barn)
A spectacular place to stay for beautiful views and well equipped to a high standard, comfortable cottage. We notice many improvements to the grounds since our last visit and appreciate the wooden garden furniture and the digital TV, but most of all the new bird feeders have given us hours of entertainment watching the great variety of birds.
Roger & Elizabeth Pikett, Billericay, Essex - 14th June 2008 (Low Barn)
Our 11th visit to Tottergill - been coming since 1996. We love it here, this visit we have had amazing weather - warm at the start - then cooling off - but we have always been comfortable in the cottage. We have particularly enjoyed the birds on the feeders and the lovely skies. We no doubt will be back. Thank you both - keep up the good work.
Susan & Nigel Crick, Barnsley - 14th June 2008 (Garth Cottage)
We all really enjoyed our week's stay at Tottergill Farm. Five of our party of 12 completed the Hadrian's Wall Path during the week - 84 miles in 5 days - and I'm sure we wouldn't have managed it without the hot showers and comfy beds to return to each night. The rest of the party spent their time on more gentle walks along the Wall - and doing some serious quality-checking on local cream teas! One thing at Toittergill that suited us really well was that we were able to put together several tables in one of the units, so that we could all 12 of us eat together at one long table each night! Everyone reckoned Tottergill was a great place, and I'm sure you'll get some repeat bookings. We also learning that a week is far too short a time to explore the Tyne and Eden Valleys.
The Marsden party, Buckinghamshire - 7th June 2008 (Low Barn, Garth & Gelt cottages)
We had a wonderful time, the cottages were very nice to stay in. We would all love to visit again.
Freddie, Anne, & Cyrus Billimoria, Swindon - 7th June 2008 (Gill Cottage)
After reading the other comments here, what more is there to say?! We are first - timers, but we can already say we'll be back! A fantastic set of cottages, all so well equipped and flexible accommodation. We are part of a larger party sharing 4 cottages & we have been able to eat together each evening, and enjoy drinks in the gardens. The sunsets have been fabulous and the fact that they go on well past 11 pm is another bonus. We have enjoyed spotting the Wabbits by the wall and the stubborn sheep who own the road. Thank you for a lovely week, the best part being able to come back from our latest leg of Hadrian's Wall to a hot shower & a chilled glass of wine , and on some nights a roaring fire too! Thanks Hazel & Mark.
Hazel Marsden & Mark Hughes, St. Albans, Herts - 7th June 2008 (Garth Cottage)
A special family gathering in a great place. Everything just perfect - fantastic location. Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
Jim & Irene Turnbull, Fife; The Yates family, Sheffield; Mark & Susan Walker, Glasgow - 6th June 2008 (Mill Barn)
Had nice week, leisure facilities are fantastic, the pub - 'The Queen Inn' in Great Corby is brilliant. The property is nice but the thing that stands out is the view you get from the balcony of the reservoir.
When you're here you must go to 'The Crown Hotel' to go swimming because there is a mini pool, a large pool, a jacuzzi and a sauna all new and fully functioning. I want to come back but it depends on whether my parents can get the time off work. Great. Ewan Hill (age 12)
It was brilliant. Isobel Hill (age 9)
It has been very very good, I am glad I came! Mathew Hill (age 18)

Another wonderful holiday. Thanks for all the extras and improvements - the freezer is extremely useful. We are so pleased you are encouraging the birds and red squirrels. We saw a Redstart on our second day and the Woodpecker has kept John amused trying to get a decent photograph! No red squirrels seen this holiday unfortunately but I did see a deer in the field and a very large hare also in the field and up on the fell behind Tottergill. Hope to visit again soon.

Adine & Eddie Halliwell, Ashby-de-la-Zouche - 28th December 2007 (Gelt cottage)

The woodpecker & pheasants out the back door have kept us very amused. You never know, we may just be back for next xmas!
The Taylors, York & The Wirral - 28th December (Mill Barn)
Just bidding a (very) reluctant farewell to Gill Cottage - we shall return! Stunning location with ever changing views, great walks and fascinating wildlife.

A lovely cottage - very cosy and warm. Delightful area to explore. Thank you.
The Watchorn family, Stroud - 22nd December 2007 (Low Barn)
What a beautiful place! Pheasants in the garden, wonderfulcolours over the fields and trees in the morning sun. Lovely to sit by the log fire (poetic license - wood burning stove) and listen to the wind blowing outside. I drove into Carlisle and found my way out (with a little help from an AA man!). Reccommend Talkin Tarn & Houghton Hall garden centre - especially the food hall. Would love to come back in the autumn. I bet it's spectacular.
Joyce Winstone, Aldershot - 16th December 2007 (Garth cottage)
We will be back soon - lovely cottageand beautiful views - especially love the bird feeders - proximity to our daughter is fantastic.

Joe & Ryan, Rotherham - 23rd November 2007 (Gelt cottage)
We first came to Tottergill ten years ago & upon returning we realised we had obviously forgotten how lovely it is or we'd have been back much sooner. Had a good chill out weekend just watching the fire & the rain - one of the quieter parts of my 40th birthday celebrations! Enjoyed watching all the birds, especially the woodpeckers. Had a fantastic meal at 'The Weary' - good recommendation, felt like a swish city restaurant in the heart of the countryside - fab food + fab service +decor. Still didn't manage to walk round the lake - the fire was just too inviting...maybe next time! Forgot our swim things, so we are looking forward to trying out the leisure club too. Really enjoyable, peaceful & relaxing break in lovely countryside. See you soon.
Kathy & Marcus Dale, Frodsham - 18th November 2007 (Gelt cottage)

Our second visit was just as wonderful as the first, so much so in fact that we are planning to move to Cumbria soon! We shall be back! Thank you for the warm welcome - the flowers & choclates are a lovely thought.

Another wonderful family get together. Lost count now of the number of times Tottergill has welcomed us! Thank you Stephen & Joyce for the lovely touches and your friendly faces. We will be back next year.
Charles & Tricia Fraser, Cambridge - 27th October 2007 (Garth cottage)
Another regular visit, loved the shower. Brought the cloud and rain with me again! Will be back next year again hoping for sun. Conquered Hellvellyn in the cloud, will have to do it again in good weather to see what we climbed. Ate at the Pheasant Inn as per 'Improtant Info' book, we enjoyed it and recommend to anyone.
Pierre & Rachel, Richmond, Surrey - 27th October 2007 (Garth cottage)
Stephen & Joyce - a lovely welcome on our 10th visit to Tottergill. We have had a great week once again, visiting friends and relations and generally 'getting together' . God willing see you again next year if not sooner. Many thanks.
John & Gill Pearman, Porthcawl - 27th October 2007 (Low barn)
We have had a fantastic week with lovely weather. We have been animal spotting, lots of long walks every day, dinners in 'The Weary' & 'Blacksmiths', pony trecking near Ullswater, Hadrian's Wall visit. We are all exhausted but have had a great time. Thank you Stephen & Joyce for your hospitality; we have enjoyed meeting you & hope to return again next year. Tottergill is fantastic!
The Savage family, Surrey - 27th October 2007 (Mill barn)
After a long journey it was so lovely to get into the cottage at 11.45 pm to be greeted by a blazing fire, cups & saucers ready and goodies in the fridge. Thank you for this Joyce & Stephen. We've had a fab holiday, very reluctant to leave, but looking forward to coming back. Saw red squirrel at Talkin tarn, enjoyed the wildlife, visited the pub in Talkin - lovely meal. Girls have loved every minute, we went to Beamish which was worth a visit, travelled to the lakes, Rheged centre, Birdoswald, drove around Newcastle at night, Crown Hotel was great - lovely pool & jacuzzi - thanks again. The Martins. Bethanie is 8 today so we're off to Beatrix Potter country!
Beccy, Steve, Lucy & Bethanie Martin, Worcestershire - 26th October 2007 (Gelt cottage)
Another lovely week, this is our third visit to Tottergill and just as enjoyable as the first. We'll be back. Thanks to Joyce & Stephen for the welcome.
Pat & Jim Hawkyard, Newcastle upon Tyne - 20th October 2007 (Low barn)
Great house. Lovely holiday. First time in this area and we will definately come again. Seen woodpeckers, red squirrels, nuthatches, deer & a hare - all just near the house.
Gorner & Claphams & Boars, Edingburgh & British Columbia Canada - 19th October 2007 (Mill Barn)
Steve & Joyce, Thank you so much for all the little details..... This is our first time to this area and we are totally hooked, so close to many places of interest and yet so remote to be able to relax by the fire and enjoythe beautiful surroundings. We felt very much at home here, Joshi doesn't want to go home, he loved to be able to see sheep out of his window lying in bed. We will definately be back next year (already planning when to come) The cottage is absolutely lovely and so clean which makes all the difference! Love The Gallions. x
Michael, Susanne & Joshi (age 3), Warwick - 19th October 2007 (Gelt cottage)
This has been one of the enjoyable holidays especially having a little boy with us, it was important for us to find a proper place to stay and play around. Tompkin obviously enjoyed the company of many animals - such as sheep, squirrels, rabbits etc and also for us, very relaxing and comfy. Not to mention about the friendly hosts, Joyce + Stephen. We would like to say thank you, 'vielen dank' + 'auf wieder sehen'.
Robert and Julietta with Tomkin (aged 2) Bremmen, Germany - 19th October 2007 (Gill cotage)
Thanks to both of you for a much needed and much appreciated break from telephone, taps and talking! ....singing your praises will not be hard. May God bless all you do.
Bill & Lynn Bradley, Carnforth - 15th October 2007 (Gelt cottage)
Lovely holiday in a lovely location. Will tell our friends and family. Places visited - Carlisle city, Lanercost Priory & Birdoswald - all good. Walk around 'Talkin Tarn' a must and best food we found was at 'Blacksmiths' in Talkin village.
Barbara & Dave Cotton, Wirral - 13th October 2007 (Low Barn)
We have discovered a lovely part of the UK, with the ideal holiday location, superb view from the patio window.
Doug & Gina, Stratford-upon-Avon - 12th October 2007 (Gill cottage)
Our 10th visit to Tottergill - and for October - we have had a good week - weather wise. Mild, so some mist but also three lovely sunny days. Still beautiful, and I feel sure we will be back. Thank you Joyce & Stephen for a lovely cottage.
Susan & Nigel Crick, Barnsley - 12th October 2007 (Gelt cottage)
Incredible weather for the end of September. We first stayed at Tottergill in 1977!! It was wonderful then & it is still. Thankyou for the welcome roses which are as good now as when we came.
