Loose Reins

The cabins were very cute and we loved the rocking chairs on the porch. Unfortunately: 1. The bed was so uncomfortable that we left a night early and have had back pain for a week 2. Check in is too late (4pm) and check out too early (9:30) 3. Shower was either scolding hot or cold 4. When we arrived (5pm) it was dark and even with a torch we struggled to navigate. We spent ages trying to find the name of the cabin which wasn’t ‘to the side of the door’ as described. No one is available at t...

Just came back from a long weekend at Loose Reins, and what a fantastic place! My husband and I stayed with our 1 year old daughter and our dog in one of the wooden cabins. Initial impression we thought it was quite small and was a little unsure how it would work. However, it was excellent. So well appointed and had everything you needed...and more! Once unpacked we easily worked with the space, and really enjoyed the cosiness of it all. We loved the honesty shop and the food was delicious. T...

WOW! We had the best 5 days at Loose Reins. Everything was perfect…a friendly welcome from the team (and animals). The lodge we stayed in had everything we could possibly need! Comfy beds and fluffy towels. We all slept amazingly even our 2 year old. The shop was brill… gorgeous frozen local meals, marshmallows, yummy ice cream and even postcards. Lots of local bits. My eldest attended Buckaroo club with Amber which was her highlight. We cycled the trailway stopping at pubs for lunch. Visited...

Literally one of the best places I’ve ever been. Absolute paradise if you like rolling hills, fresh air, hikes, animals and still a beautiful clean hot shower in the evening. We spent 4 glorious days here in the “Trappers” cabin with our 2 young girls and just had the best time. The girls spent every waking moment following the horses and goats around, and all super safe and fenced in. Loads of national trust type places to visit and hike very close and many great rural pubs!

An absolute oasis! Jeanette & Mark are perfect hosts. Our cabin was gorgeous and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable bed and well equipped bathroom and kitchen - the hot chocolate was delicious. The views are splendid and the quiet and true darkness of the nights are a tonic. We can't wait to return!
