Gypsy Palace

I’d go back. The cottage is very comfortable and warm and its history is very interesting. The kitchen is well equipped and there’s a good shower in the bathroom. It’s perfect for a dog because it has a back door and stone floor. The garden is fully fenced in, but won’t keep in a smaller dog. There’s a lovely sun house. It’s situated on the Pennine Way, and there’s a hotel close by serving food, so there’s no need to be driving a lot.

The Palace

Getting booking! The Palace is just the most delightful, quirky and charming cottage. We loved our stay. Brought bikes which we could store in the outbuilding and did some glorious rides direct from Kirk Yetholm. Highly recommend this place.
