My partner and I stayed here for a short midweek break in the studio and first impressions we were blown away. We were shown around the facilities first then taken to the studio where we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a breakfast pack of bacon, sausages and eggs which we found was a great touch.
Firstly the whole Garth house, cottage and Studio is in a prime location to Brampton village, away from the main center but just set back enough to the outskirts of the village so you can relax and take in the lovely views with a walk into the center taking only roughly 5mins, here you can find local restaurants, pubs, bars etc, co-op, fish shop, church, information center and many more shops, we visited a few pubs and the locals were warm and welcoming. (Ended up in a dart competition but that story is for another day)
Secondly – The Garth house and attached cottage, studio and grounds are amazing, the owners keep it well maintained and have unbelievable passion in keeping it in tip top condition. We stayed in the studio and found the fixtures & fittings second to none, no expense Spared at all. The owners have thought of everything and we had no problems finding everything we needed, from cooking facilities to the iron and ironing board and a hair dryer. We have stayed in some locations over the years but this has to be up there with one of the best, felt really comfortable and homely.
Thirdly – The owners are absolutely fantastic, nothing was a problem to them. They were always on the end of the phone if we needed advice or if we wanted to use the pool or hot tub anytime it wasn’t a problem, we were lucky as were the only visitors stopping but my partner and I had a feeling they would accommodate and help anyone which was great. Credit to them as they never stop but ultimately make you feel welcome and at home which made us relax better. My partner forgot her flip flops and Gordon brought her some, anything we needed they helped us with.
Fourthly – the facilities such as the pool and hot tub are brilliant, the pool was slightly heated not to warm nor cold, clean tidy and very relaxing, you could book this and use it for an hour or so which we found enough (owners were happy for us to use it longer providing no one else had booked it) the studio had its own hot tub and was easily accessible from the room. The cottage which is situated next to the studio also had its own hot tub and both were private and secluded looking into a lovely view of fields to the rear of the property.
Overhaul 10/10 we booked this on a kind of let’s suck it and see basis and realised we actually found a gem. Would certainly recommend and if you are reading this and are thinking of booking the cottage, all I can say is OMG!! Sleeps up to 6 and it is second to none (grand designs eat your heart out) amazing!!
Don’t hesitate book now you won’t be disappointed!
