Brown Rigg Guest Rooms

It's a great hotel worth recommending. It's very clean. We arrived late but the host is still very friendly! It is really worth recommending! great place

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.

great location especially if you’re a rambler. quiet. room was cheap , spotless. the owners did their best to be nice. food wasn’t really terribly good, school dinners level but adequate if you can’t be bothered to go out. location reminded me of a ww2 pow camp and indeed it was once used as such in a tv comedy show

Exceptionally clean beautiful bedding extras like a place to put hot items like hair straighter and tv controls were in a new plastic bag to maintain cleanliness. The shared facilities including kitchen were also outstanding. I took my neice to see the Perseids meteor shower as this is a dark sky area, we also saw the Milky Way thousands of stars and the northern lights. Quiet immaculate place in the middle of the countryside in darks sky very beautiful. The only difficulty for us is that we arrived on a very hot day, the room was very warm even with the fan but this was extreme weather! I did love the shutters on the windows though great for keeping the shade if you want. Lovely welcome from the staff and shown around so we knew where facilities were

The location is quiet and pretty. The room and bathroom were immaculate and very comfortable. I liked having the use of a modern shared kitchen and being able to park right outside. We stayed here to break a long journey, and would do so again.

Stayed in the accessible guest room for three nights with my mum. Excellent facilities, large wet room style bathroom, clean and comfortable. Use of the Kitchen was an added bonus. Lovely, quiet setting.
