"I was warmly welcomed on arrival, the room was clean, spacious, with quality toiletries, a lovely piece of shortbread to accompany my coffee and a beautiful view from the patio doors.."

"My boyfriend booked us a very last minute night away because I have not been able to sleep and it was the best decision we could’ve made - brown rigg’s xl double bed is cosy and comfortable, and staying in the middle of a dark park is bliss; with no light pollution and only noise being from nature I had an incredibly restful night. The rooms themselves have very clearly been thoughtfully curated with solid furniture, plenty of outlets, and little luxuries like ringtons tea and Bayliss and Harding soap. The history of the school buildings is included in a little booklet on the wall which I really appreciated reading through (we stayed in the infirmary) it also included an introduction to the family (human and fury) that run brown rigg which added to a homely feel. We didn’t explore very much of the communal spaces - though you can make a brew in your room which is all I’m fussed about - but I think I would like to see what the games room has to offer upon return as well as meet the horses. I can’t wait to come back for a longer stay, perhaps during the acoustic festival in September, and take part more in the offerings at brown rigg and explore the local towns/ countryside. In the meantime for the location, price, and offering I could not recommend a stay here enough."

"Second stay here and the best so far as we had a great room, jacuzzi with TV. Clean, cosy and friendly with a top breakfast."

"Wonderful trip, clean, beds very comfy and so surprised how good the WiFi was. Stargazing was magical. Super quiet and relaxing our children loved it. Thank you for having us. We cannot wait to come again!"
