Ancrum House is delightful and it was the perfect choice for our stay. Tracey was an exceptional host and gave us great recommendations for restaurants & bars locally and in Carlisle.

The property is stunning and finished to a very high standard. It has everything you need for a break away and the owner has thought of everything. This was our second visit to this property and is one of the best we have stayed at. The host, Tracey is lovely and very friendly. The garden and hot tub are great, it's very private. We were lucky to have great weather so we spent most of the time outside. We travelled as a group of eight and we all had a fantastic weekend. Thanks again Tracey

The house was amazing - a fabulous base for our mini break. Great location, all the amenities we could ask for, and the hot tub was the icing on the cake.Tracey was great - very responsive and very helpful. She even dropped by to check on the chlorine levels in the hot tub. And she made us a wee video showing how to use the heating and the hot tub.Cant recommend this property enough.

An absolutely brilliant house with so much space and excellent accommodation. Fab hot tub and garden

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. Tracey was amazing, her attention to detail was really appreciated. The house was really well placed to visit some of the local attractions nearby. We had a party of 7, including kids and adults, and everyone had a really relaxing, fun break in Ancrum House. The hot tub was great and the house had everything we needed.

Really wish I could give you more than 5*

What can I say. From the moment of booking, Tracey has been amazing. Communication is 10/10 even with the moving of our stay due to covid, there were no issues. Upon arrival, the house was spotless and I mean spotless. Fresh, clean, decor was flawless. Tracey explained how the hot tub worked, what items we had in the house and showed us how to work the heating. An array of information was provided in a booklet and was a much needed help! Communication over the stay was amazing, Tracey came daily to check the hot tub had the right chemicals and was working correctly, she cleared leaves, moved rubbish and asked if we needed any new towels or bedding. We even broke plates and a cup, again this was no issue and they were replaced the next day with no issue. Honestly this house is a little gem. Tracey Tou should be massively proud of the Ancrum house... It's the house of dreams! I could go on, but if anyone reading this is thinking of booking a stay, don't think just do it! We will be back!

Great Stay, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

We had a fabulous stay at Ancrum House, the house is stunning and the most perfect house for a lovely get together with family or friends. Great location if you’re attending a wedding at Gretna, literally 3 minute walk from the house!! We mostly stayed in and cooked making the most of the house and the hot tub! The hot tub was a top of the range hot tub and Tracey checked it every day. The house was Absolutely immaculate and everything in it is well thought out and user friendly. Thanks again for a great stay and your friendliness in all our dealings with you, most appreciated.
