Cheviot Reviews

Brenice
We have just enjoyed a lovely stay here for Valentines break. Lovely lodge, lovely peaceful location. The hot tub is perfect and we enjoyed a lovely walk. Thankyou again to the fantastic host we would definitely return. Brenice&Dean
Vanessa
My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at the Cheviot and we couldnt recommend it more! Theres plenty of things to do around the area and we will be thinking of rebooking sometime in the future! The Cheviot itself was comfortable, cosy, and had everything you could need. I wish we couldve stayed longer
My mother, our dog Rosie, and I stayed at the Cheviot Shepherd Hut from the 26th to the 28th of September for a girls' getaway. From start to finish, we loved every moment of our stay. The local walks were full of striking views, and the shepherds hut itself was fantastic! Everything felt effortless, and the absolute icing on the cake was waking up each morning to find the hot tub already prepared and waiting for us. Rosie particularly love watching the sheep on the field nearby and the garden space at the front of the shepherds hut provided her with her own free space to roam without us needing to worry. Thank you so muchwell definitely be looking to book again!
Yasmin
Amazing place to stay! ! The views were amazing especially watching the sun set and rise.
Fantastic accommodation in beautiful location. The hut was the perfect place for a stress free and relaxing weekend. Will definitely be revisiting!
Amanda
Lovely, peaceful location with wonderful views. Very clean, and quality accomodation, with everything you need. The hot tub was very inviting & relaxing. My elderly dog loved pottering around the outdoor secure space. Making plans to return.
Communication from the owners was brilliant, the place was spotless with all the amenities you would need. The surrounding area is amazing and the information provided in the welcome for local stuff to do is great! Thank you for a great holiday!
Michael
Just brilliant. Cheviot was picture perfect and we had the best week staying there. Beautifully presented with everything you could need for a short break. The bed was large and comfortable, there was good storage for our belongings, the kitchen had quality appliances and the shower was superb. We especially enjoyed having a secure fenced garden for our dog so he had some freedom whilst we were soaking in the hot tub!
Steven
