  • Contemporary bungalow, recently converted to a high standard throughout
  • Rolling countryside all around, which you can enjoy from the private BBQ hut or wood-fired hot tub
  • Tech throughout makes for a stylish and relaxing experience
Property code: 94673

For a Cumbrian adventure in a rolling countryside setting, stay at this stunning barn conversion with six friends and two waggy-tailed mates. It's a great base for outdoor antics, before returning home to a wood-fired hot tub and modern features throughout.

After a long day of exploring with your two pups, unlace your walking boots and enter the open-plan lounge. Plush sofas, a Smart TV and a cosy log burner make this the ultimate comfy hideaway, away from the stresses of everyday life. Your faithful hounds are sure to follow you through to the well-equipped, modern kitchen as you begin to rustle up their food while another of the clan pulls open the adjacent French doors and strikes up the BBQ in the hobbit-style hut outside. Lucky pooches can wander the enclosed garden as they please when happy humans are basking in their bubbly hot tub or tucking into alfresco grub on the patio. Say goodnight to four-legged friends and pick from three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, including a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room. All bedrooms boast a Smart TV for those relaxing breakfasts in bed, and there's even a Smart TV in the family bathroom where the mirror doubles as a movie hub!

Hook on the leads and navigate the network of trails from the cottage, including the National Cycle Route that runs straight past the house. Take in the sights of the 1150 Arthuret Church, just 0.5 miles away, or travel slightly further to the epic World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall, 18 miles away. You are also very close to the Scottish border, so why not hop aboard the train from Carlisle (8 miles) and go on an adventure to Glasgow? Closer to home, Solway Coast (19 miles) has historic hamlets, nature reserves and spectacular views to enjoy.

2nd time staying at the cottage and it never fails to please. The location is stunning, quiet and in close proximity of local shops which you can easily walk to. The bbq hut is brilliant and we have used it each time staying there. This time we managed to use the hot tube which was brilliant.

This property was new, well decorated, well equipped and comfortable. The BbQ hut is a great addition but we did not use as not accessible for one of our party. hot tub was disappointing as wood fired and just too much of a faff when you just fancy a quick relax as takes about 3 hours to set it up.

This cottage was lovely, bedrooms were a great size! Kitchen and lounge was lovely and great for a cozy night in. It was clean and very nice little touch of orange and milk on arrival! The hot tub was a great addition along with the bbq hut where we enjoyed a cooked breakfast on one of the mornings! It was in a fab place, Gretna green being just 20Read more minutes away! And we had a drive out to the beach up in Dumfries and Galloway, which was lovely. Hide

The cottage is beautiful and well located. It is well equipped and the location is stunning. The log fire is cosy and easy to use. The bbq hut us fantastic snd we used it over the new year whilst blowing a gale outside hence we didn't use the hot tub. We have already booked a return holiday. You won't be disappointed if you book !

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was finished to a very high standard and was very comfortable and well equipped. Warming the water in the hot tub takes more logs and longer than we expected so start early!

Stunning cottage that is situated in a good location with easy access to Carlisle and Gretna. Beautifully decorated and loved the quirky light settings. The hot tub was amazing but needed a bag of wood to get it going properly. The BBQ hut was our favourite and again loved the little extras of tv, cushions and blankets.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay, the accommodation was to very high standards you couldnt fault it. The bbq hut was brilliant we had the odd rainy evening but that did not stop us from having a bbq due to having this facility. The hot tub is a nice touch too specially after a long walk around the lakes, very relaxing!! Definitely would recommendRead more and I would love to return Hide

Great location! We were recommended this cottage by holiday cottages as our previous booking was cancelled last minute with a different cottage. The main purpose of our trip was to visit Lake District and in fairness wasnt too long of a journey. The owner was easy to contact and helped us set up the hut and jacuzzi.
