The Dairy, Milton

Stayed in this converted barn for a week with my mate, was great very clean and cosy. The only thing was the Hot tub was not with the barn and you had to share it with about 6/7other cottages and pay about £40 a week to use it. But other than that was a fantastic place to stay would stay again.

We have just returned home from a wonderful family holiday at The Dairy. The cottage is beautiful and spacious with high ceilings and original beams. There is a woodburner that was ready laid, though due to excellent weather was not required. The location is perfect for exploring the Lakes, West Coast and North of the border. Lots of parking spaces and sheep just feet away. Highly recommended.

Just got back had a lovely relaxing few days away. The Dairy is a beautiful cottage the owner was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was lovely, living and kitchen area much bigger than the pictures showed. It is an ideal place for walking with the dog. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. There is a shared use of hot tub to relax in. We hope to go back later in the year.

Fantastic location to get out walking with the dog. Ideally situated to explore Northumberland, north Pennines, the north lakes and Scotland. The owner is very friendly and knowledgable about where to visit and was happy to help when we ran out of firewood (£4 charge per additional bag of logs). The cottage itself was very comfortable and well equipped which made it feel very homely. There is a £40 charge per week for use of the shared hot tub which me and my boyfriend were initially more than to pay as we knew we would be doing lots of walking and it would be a great way to relax after a day out on our feet. However we discovered that very few of the jets actually work and the ones that do work don't seem to be working correctly. We only ended up using the hot tub twice and we felt that at £40 a week, better maintenance of the hot tub wouldn't be too much of an ask. The only other slight annoyance would be that in the ceiling above the main bedroom, there is something nesting in the roof - we were unsure if birds or mice but whatever they were they make a terrible racket early in the morning. This wasn't too much of a problem as we got up early most days anyway but on the couple of days we wanted a lie in (we were on holiday after all!) this was made almost impossible by the noise they were making. Overall we had a brilliant week and we would stay on this site again (albeit in a different cottage and we would leave the hot tub!)

The cottage we stayed in was beautiful! The online photos didn't do it justice! It was a relaxed, peaceful stay. Just what I needed!

The owner was lovely and friendly. Hot tub was a great addition to the cottage and was a fab luxury! Cottage was spotless and we will be back soon!

The Dairy was beautifully furnished, lovely large living area, much bigger than expected, great position to access many local sights, Talkin Tarn country park was fabulous, particularly as it was only the cost to park, great walks for the dog!! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

The hot tub was fantastic and the location was perfect for the nice relaxing holiday that we wanted. It was also pet friendly, the owner was lovely when she met our dog. Would definitely return.

Everything was exceptional! From the amazing surroundings to the beautiful log fire, our friendly hosts to the ease of access. Truly wonderful.

The place exceeded our expectations. Spacious and very clean. Had a lovely family holiday. A good location to explore surrounding areas.

Beautiful location. Friendly welcome, even included bottle of wine. Living area very comfortable and spacious with a wood burning stove.

The Diary was fantastic; we loved everything about it and Amble was very welcoming. We will definitely go back and possibly renting all three cottages as a whole family.

Fantastic welcome, owner there to meet us with the wood burner burning, the cottage felt so warm on a cold and damp day. Lovely cottage, the barn has been converted very tastefully. It has the added bonus of a hot tub which is so welcoming after a day out walking. Although near to a main road it was it did not detract from a lovely stay. Not too far from fabulous walks, owner was happy to suggest places to visit, although lots of leaflets to help. Loved it there and would definitely return.

Good location. Very clean cottage. Nice open plan. Excellent real log fire. We could get the living area and kitchen very warm. The hot tub was a great addition. Very comfortable, big sofas. Easy access to the owners if there were problems.

Excellent accommodation. The owner was extremely helpful and approachable.

Beautiful barn in lovely surroundings. The added bonus was the hot tub in the garden, which was bliss after a day walking! The owner was very friendly and helpful, and had lit the wood burner on our arrival.

The cottage was amazing, and everything we wanted for a nice relaxing weekend. The owners were very welcoming and hospitable.

The cottage was very clean, comfortable & spacious. Hot tub was excellent too.

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely setting. We would stay there again. The hosts were very helpful.

Great cottage with excellent layout. Good location for touring and you could not find better owners!

The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming which made a great first impression and start to our holiday. The standard of the cottage was absolutely fantastic. Not only was the cottage fantastic but the hot tub made it that extra bit special. I would definitely recommend this to anybody.

Well placed to visit various places of interest.

We got a warm welcome at arrival from our host. From the balcony there was a beautiful view of the village and landscape.

We really enjoyed our stay and the owners were great with us - the hot tub is fantastic!

The barn was so comfortable and we were so glad we had a log fire. It was home from home and we shall definitely return. Easy to get to the places of interest too. The owner was so approachable and very friendly.

The accommodation is wonderful! It's cosy, just in the right place, quiet situation - marvellous! Many, many thanks! God willing, we'll be back!

We were at this property last year and enjoyed it so much we re-booked for this year and we weren't disappointed. The owner is very friendly and always happy to help. We will definitely be back.

We wanted a few days away with our 7 month old daughter and our two labradors before I went back to work. The Cottage was lovely and comfy and the woodburner in the open plan living / kitvhen/ dining area was loved by all. The dogs loved Milton Woods and we loved the hot-tub especially as the baby monitor still worked at the bottom of the garden where it is located. The milk and wine on arrival were a lovely touch.

We loved the open plan kitchen/diner/lounge with the woodburner. The owner was friendly and the hot tub was great.

Very beautiful and comfortable cottage in a lovely part of the country. The owner was on hand when we arrived and gave a very warm welcome. My son can't wait to come back to the cottage!

The Dairy provides an excellent location for walking and exploring Hadrian's Wall. The nearby town of Brampton is in easy reach and provides a well stocked mini supermarket. Dinner at Jacobites is recommended and the local taxi company charge was £5 back from town to the cottage. The Dairy was very welcoming, clean and well presented in a lovely farmyard setting. The use of the hot tub was an added bonus and a lovely weekend was had by all! The Dairy provides the perfect venue to arrive, drop your bags, relax and enjoy your stay!

We had everything we could have needed, the property was wonderfully warm and comfortable, and all newly decorated and spotlessly clean.

An excellent cottage all round! Lovely rooms, very comfortable lounge area, comfortable beds, great kitchen facilities, and all set in a lovely location! Great country surroundings and great hospitality given by the owner. What more can any one ask for?!

A warm welcome from the cottage owners. Ideal for a quiet holiday, plenty of walks whether in woodland, the nearby adrian's Wall. Located within easy reach of the North Lakes, The Borders or Northumberland. The cottage had everything we needed including those little extras - tea coffee and milk, and a welcoming bottle of wine. A little more local information would have been appreciated - details of pubs / restaurants.

The location was beautiful, and the house was fantastically clean and tidy. It was lovely for us to spend a weeks holiday with our dog, who loved all of the walks.

A really spacious and well appointed cottage which is easy to find and only a short drive from the local shops and services.

The local amenities and attractions within 40 miles. An attractive proposal as a sleep space for the family. Accommodation quality was very good.

A very clean and nicely presented accommodation, we would go back!

The cottage was exceptionally clean and welcoming and the gift of a bottle of wine, a pint of milk, tea, coffee and sugar made the arrival even more relaxing!

The cottage was in a lovely rural location and was large and comfortably furnished. The owners provided those extra touches which were very much appreciated - tea, coffee, sugar, milk, and a welcoming bottle of wine. They were friendly and polite, and have worked hard on the conversion of the farm buildings and the grounds. I'm sure other holidaymakers will enjoy the addition of the hot-tub.

Very good accommodation within close vicinity to walks along Hadrians Wall. Brampton has a variety of shops and inns, a must visit is the antique centre.
