Excellent, tranquil spot for a few days R&R
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Drake’s Rest. The property is well-equipped and delightfully furnished and decorated.
We met the on-site host a couple of times, who was very helpful and friendly without being “omni-present” at all.
The situation, in the Borderlands area, is idyllic. Close to the Lakes and Hadrian’s Wall country, but delightfully quiet. Ideal for running, walking, cycling - or just enjoy the rural environment.
Would definitely return..!
