Wagtail

'The views, the remote location, and of course the copper bath make this place extra special. It was a welcomed escape for us whilst taking part in The Dirty Reiver at Kielder.

We will be sure to come again but for longer and have already told all our friends about it! The attention to detail and added extras, such as jam, marmalade and homemade flapjack made it extra special. 

Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such an incredible place, we cannot wait to come back!'

"We had such a fantastic stay at Wagtail. From the moment we pulled into the property, we knew it was going to be special. The accommodation is tucked away privately at the back and boasts an incredible view of the hills. There was some really superb taste in decoration/styling (including the deep, copper bathtub) and the personal touches such as home made slice and Easter eggs were very thoughtful. We lucked out with the weather so enjoyed the outdoor barbeque with Prosecco (provided). I was also very fortunate to meet the owners and out of coincidence, one of their cows gave birth only hours prior! This is one of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed in - I highly recommend staying here. We hope to revisit again one day."

"Just wanted to say what a lovely getaway we've had! Waking up to that view every morning was very special. Thank you for all the goodies and making this lovely little hut so cosy and homely. We can't wait to come back!"

"Thank you for a lovely stay. We love coming to this part of the world and the shepherd's hut stay has been the best yet. The lovely bath was amazing. Thank you for the extra little treats which made our stay even more special."

"The most beautiful place. The time we've spent here has meant the world to us. We will carry these memories with us in our dreams for the rest of our lives."

"We've loved it here - a trip away without the kids. So peaceful and a real treat. Thanks for the lovely treats you left too, particularly the flapjack."

"Thank you for a lovely stay in the shepherd's hut. We have really enjoyed a few days relaxing, walking and star-gazing from the farm. The hut has everything we needed and thank you for the baked treats that helped us whilst walking. We will definitely be recommending to our friends!"

"The most heavenly few days escaping the kids and luxuriating at Wagtail. Just the most chilled and calming break - we feel so lucky! Divine bath, delicious and generous treats, star-gazing, wall-walking, and all-round chill in one of the most beautiful holiday cottages. We didn't want to leave but hope to be back one of these days. Thank you for everything!"

"What a fantastic place to escape from everyday life and enjoy some much needed relaxation. The Wagtail was equipped with everything that we could needed, and the homemade treats were divine. Both nights were so lucky that the night skies were clear, and we saw so many stars, it was beautiful. The bath is absolutely incredible and we're obsessed! We'll definitely be recommending this to our friends. Thanks for everything."

"Wagtail - the perfect escape for us to wind down and relax. Wonderfully appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our stay to the full, despite the inclement weather! We got a glimpse of the dark night sky, which was incredible. A walk around Talkin Tarn was nice, as was our visit to Lanercost Abbey, steeped in history. We came here on recommendation, and will certainly recommend to others. Thanks again."

"Our first and certainly not our last trip to Wagtail! We could not have wished for a better trip away to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The weather was not our our side but, if anything, this added to the experience. We sat in the beautiful copper bath sipping on a glass of champagne whilst listening to the pitter-patter of rain after a lovely walk on Hadrian's Wall. It was nothing short of magical. We were very grateful for the homebaked goods and breakfast bits. We are already looking for dates to return!"

"A truly wonderful few nights (mini moon) after our wedding on Saturday. The setting and the hut are spectacular and the owners really have thought of everything. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side so we didn't get to do any stargazing, but that just gives us an excuse to come back!"

"We have stayed in many cottages over the last few years and this is definitely one of the best! The beautiful cabins have been equipped with everything you could ever need and the little gifts when you first get here are such a nice touch. We would definitely come back!"

“Thank you for sharing your gorgeous shepherd’s hut with us in such a beautiful part of the country. We have enjoyed the most relaxing and tranquil autumnal getaway. The hut is absolutely stunning and the attention to detail really made for a luxurious stay. There was everything we could want or need and more. The welcome goodies were also delicious and very much appreciated and enjoyed. We have had such a wonderful time exploring the local area and coming back to this beautiful bolt hole to relax (and soak in that glorious bath!) Thank you, we can’t wait to return!”

“This place is a discovery! Wagtail features some absolutely delicious features, the design is immaculate. Drove up with the stars out the first night – magical views of God’s handiwork! We weren’t able to take advantage of the local walks – but the farm-fresh eggs are legendary! We can’t wait to off-load the children and come back. Also, the marmalade was perfect! Thank you so much!”

“What an absolutely wonderful and refreshing break we’ve had. Wagtail was the perfect escape from the city with such beautiful views morning and night. Waking up to the blue sky and green hills was such a delight. The hut was incredibly homely. Slept soundly each night and every little touch added even more to the modern country vibe. Really makes you want to convert a van and hit the road! The best part would have to be the wonderful host Tanya and Ed. So incredibly helpful and inviting, they truly made our break here so effortless and couldn’t have wished for more friendly people. Definitely highly recommend. We’ve just had a fantastic time in a truly beautiful place. If I could take that bath home I would!”

“I love it here! The setting, the hut, and the animals all combine to make this the best relaxing break – just what I needed. Tanya and Ed are wonderful hosts – nothing is too much trouble for them. They have thought of so many luxurious touches to make Wagtail comfortable and welcoming. Even their dog Molly is a real star. On my last night the clouds cleared – heavens lit with more stars than I have ever seen – if you get a chance, step outside for a 360° view, it’s magical! Wild swimming is also a bonus if you’re brave enough! I would love to return to experience winter in this beautiful, remote place.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Low Tipalt Farm. Wagtail shepherd’s hut is a fantastic place with everything you need, plus lots of extra special touches. Tanya and Ed were great hosts – friendly, approachable and happy to help. Thank you so much, we really enjoyed our stay – had the perfect mix of adventures and relaxation. Five stars from us – would definitely recommend.”
