From the Guestbook

Wish we were there longer! Beautiful cottage; well-equipped, clean, warm with stunning grounds. Short drive to the Bosk/Breamish valley spa and the running fox at Powburn. Will definitely book again.

Lovely cosy cottage, well equipped and very clean. A fantastic place to get away from it all. The log burner was a bonus after cold, blustery days out walking. The gardens are stunning and felt so lucky to be able to explore them, especially the walled garden.

Thank you Alice, you have a beautiful property, it was an absolute pleasure to spend time there, it is such a welcoming and comfortable place. A very pretty private garden and amazing to be allowed to walk around the walled garden and woodland.

September 2025

Glanton Pyke is a truly magical home, combining splendour with warmth. Roaring fires, elegant drawing rooms and cosy bedrooms create a welcoming atmosphere. The gardens enchant year-round, with sweeping views, woodland, meadows and a secret walled garden that feels like another world. Inside, the beautiful décor, artwork and furnishings make every corner a delight, while the inviting sofas and beds ensure your stay feels like a true sanctuary and escape.

We stayed at Stable Cottage for a week of R+R after a busy few weeks and it did not disappoint . The cottage itself is beautiful and the gardens and views soothe the soul. Alice and Charles it was lovely to meet you and your dogs and thank you for making us feel so welcome. I can certainly see myself staying here again, wishing you all the best.
