My husband and I stayed at the Strand Cottage at the end of April 2012. We booked this B & B because it was "dog friendly". Brilliant choice. We were given accommodation separate from the main house which was excellent since it gave us the freedom to take the dog out without disturbing anyone else. The room and facilities were... More

My husband and I stayed at the Strand Cottage in May 2012. We wanted to visit Hadrian's wall and this turned out to be the perfect location. If we'd wanted to we could have walked to Vindolanda from the cottage. Instead on the advice of Angela (our very helpful host) we drove to Vindolanda and walked from there to Housesteads... More

Cannot actually rate the accommodation only the host at this accommodation. We booked late in the afternoon and arrived at the b & b shortly after to find the host was out so decided to do some sightseeing. We managed to get hopelessly lost and ended up quite far away north of Carlisle so rang to cancel booking as didn't... More

Although unaware at the time, I wanted to see Vindolanda and this B&B is on a path trail only a few km away so not need to drive and it made a good walk. The breakfast was good, rooms comfortable and hostess very helpful with local knowledge. You... More

We had been recommended Strand Cottage by an acquaintance and we were not disappointed. A friendly welcome and lovely warm room was provided along with lots of information about the area from our very kind hosts Angela and Mike.

We arrived late but all was ready for us on our comfortable family room...good night's sleep & great breakfast to prepare for our Hadrian's Wall odyssey. Ideal location. Great! More

We stayed for one night in a very comfortable room, were welcomed warmly and our hosts very kindly drove us to the nearest pub for supper. Breakfast was also excellent. I can only recommend a stay if you are visiting this beautiful area. More

Good location to explore Hadrian's wall and other attractions. Comfortable room, clean and tidy. Breakfast good. Hosts Angela and Mike really helpful on what to see and where to eat. It is on the main road but we didn't hear any road noise. It's a shame that next year it will be adults only. More

We stayed at Strand Cottage just one night. Our room was upstairs and fairly small and our friends larger room was in the ajacent cottage towards the rear of the house. Both were comfortable rooms. Bathroom was nice. The breakfast was wonderful. Angela was a very helpful host giving us valuable information about the area. We enjoyed talking with her... More
