This barn-style stone cottage looks rustic from the outside but offers wonderful open-plan interiors with modern design and comforts inside. With two versatile bedrooms, it works well for a family, friends or one or two couples to get out and explore Hadrian’s Wall Path, within 50 metres of this cottage. Situated in the countryside, 3.5 miles from Brampton, its beautiful, secluded location offers fantastic views and wonderful walks that your furry friends will adore. Or just listen to the birdsong and watch the clouds drift by while taking it easy in the large private garden.
The spacious living area boasts characterful features like exposed stone walls, a double staircase, wooden floorboards (great with dogs in tow!), an apex roof with beams and a mezzanine gallery. It makes an impressive space but is also welcoming, with French doors opening onto the patio. The lounge area is arranged around the wood burner and there’s a dining table for four. The compact kitchen is well-equipped for catering for your party. The two twin bedrooms (one can be a king-size bedroom by arrangement) are at opposite ends of the property, up separate wooden staircases. There’s also a small mezzanine gallery with a sofa bed for time out. Enjoy a BBQ eaten on the pretty furnished patio as you watch the dogs (and any kids) run around the large lawned garden.
Hadrian’s Wall Path runs nearby, so that is an easy option for entertainment that will set tails wagging. If two wheels work better for you, The Roman Way cycle path is also nearby. Delve deeper into Roman history and culture at the Birdoswald Roman Fort visitor centre (5 miles), once a significant base for centurions. Stock up on supplies and check out the sights of historic Carlisle (13.5 miles), including its 12th-century castle, cathedral and semi-intact city walls.
