A beautiful, well equipped cottage in a great location for exploring Hadrians Wall, Carlisle, the Solway Coast and Kielder Water. Opportunities for lovely walks and cycling.

A beautiful dwelling converted from an old chapel as seen on "Homes under the hammer" on T.V. Finished to an extremely high standard with huge amounts of space, except perhaps for clothes storage. Plenty of room to relax and a hot tub as well to unwind at the end of a day.

Great cottage, brilliantly presented and most comfiest beds I have stayed in whilst away from home. Everything you would want is provided and the only negative I can give, is that there isn't really a local pub in walking distance, so bring your own.

Stunning property furnished to the highest standard. The photos do not do it justice. Hot tub and log burner were lovely to cosy down after spending the days exploring the area. Beautiful scenery within an hours drive - Ullswater, Scottish Borders, Kielder Forest. Overall had a lovely, relaxing few days away. Thank you.

The cottage has been renovated to an immaculate standard and was very comfortable. We stayed for 2 nights so didn't venture very far from the comfort of the house.

I recently stayed at Leonelli House, it truly stands out with its unique character. The cleanliness was good, making the stay enjoyable. The beds were incredibly comfortable and well sized bedrooms/bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of utensils and cutlery. I had a conversation with the owner regarding a few details that hadn't beeRead moren fixed/sorted from previous guests, and I appreciated their apologetic attitude and advise. A home from home cottage! Thank you! Hide

Lionelli House is a really attractive house, finished to a very high standard. All our family loved it. Great hot tub and enclosed rear garden. Close to Hadrians Wall and lovely Brampton.

Had a great stay after a few small issues at the start, we had asked for single beds in one of the rooms but arrived to find a double. We had to request a bin as we had no where to put rubbish. Phone signal terrible although house does have WiFi. Enclosed garden but not secure. Need a car to travel around nothing within walking distance although weRead more had some lovely days at different locations so wasnt a problem. Overall great stay loved the hot tub. Would highly recommend. Hide
