Here is what our guests have to say about us:
"Amanda and Gareth were absolutely fabulous. Their farm house is a calm relaxing home in the beautiful countryside - just the R&R we needed! The house is lovely - underfloor heating, all the amenities, such a comfy bed! Very kind hosts were the cherry on top. Can not recommend more."
From Oxford, United Kingdom ·
"Our place had an amazing view of the hills and valley. It was very homey and comfortable. Our only regret was that we didn't book a few nights to just unwind and watch the scenery. We will definitely be booking again the next time we pass through. Amanda and Gareth were extremely friendly. The best kind of hosts. For other wheelchair users, the apartment is quite open and accessible."

Summary: My wife & I spent three nights here during our UK vacation. Very well maintained and equipped property, beautiful scenery, good location.

Stephen B. May 25, 2024 07:32:43 PM

Summary: It is a great property in a lovely rural location, yet only a mile or so from Alston. Furnished to a high standard the cottage had all you could need for a comfortable stay (even though we picked a very wet 2-3 days). We enjoyed our all-to-brief stay, and look forward to returning, hopefully when the weather is better and we can enjoy the outside patio area with it's wonderful views.

Summary: Relaxing, peaceful time. Just what we needed

Mrs. Willy v. Oct 9, 2023 02:01:31 PM

Summary: We spend a short week at the Watergreens Farm Cottage. A compact, but cosy cottage. Great views, and with everything you need for a nice comfortable stay. The area is beautiful. We made a couple of car trips and walks around. A lot of information and tips where to go to available. The hosts were good in quick response for check in and out, and in between, when needed. Coming from abroad we experience different recycling systems in every area in the UK and completely different from where we come from…..not easy to get the hang of that….. We choose this location travelling from Scotland to the ferry in Newcastle, it was a beautiful spot to spend time to experience the area. For walkers it is a nice area, lots of opportunities. We will certainly come back to stay again.

Summary: The cottage is appointed to a very high standard and well equipped for all your needs. It is situated just a few miles from the lovely market town of Alston and has stunning views across the valley. This was our first visit to the North Pennines area and we loved it. The area is much less busy than the Lakes but is just as pretty with lots of good walks around. Many thanks to Gareth and Amanda for making our stay so enjoyable.

Summary: There should really be a bonus star that we can award! We enjoyed our stay so, so much. From the moment we arrived, with such a warm welcome, to the moment we left, with heavy hearts and a tear in the eye. Amanda & Gareth were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much for them, but they allowed us plenty of privacy too. We enjoyed their company immensely though, so were happy to have long chats. The fact they shared their beautiful dogs with us only increased our enjoyment. We'll miss them all. The barn is a delight - well presented and with everything you could need - very comfortable. The location is amazing - far reaching, magnificent, pastoral views. It's a beautiful area with lovely towns and lots of historical interest. You could not do better than choose Owl Retreat for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Many, many thanks to Amanda, Gareth, Pip and Lottie for a wonderful week. Paul & Martin.
