This one-bed romantic retreat on a small complex on a working farm is perfect as a bolthole for active holidays. Walk Hadrian’s Wall or just explore this beautiful countryside and nearby North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We know any holiday wouldn’t be the same without your four-legged chum, so take him or her too! Relish the peace and quiet of this unspoilt location with fantastic walkies opportunities. Enjoy a sundowner on the suntrap veranda or, if the weather doesn’t play ball, make full use of the conservatory, enjoying the landscape and watching the trains pass by sporadically in the distance.
This snug cottage offers comfortable accommodation on one level. Converted from a former stable, it retains characterful exposed stone walls inside, with apex ceilings in parts. The lounge offers a TV and cosy wood burner surrounded by soft seating. Head through to a small but perfectly formed and equipped kitchen where you can prepare self-catered feasts to eat on the pine table for two in the light-filled conservatory overlooking the garden. After a long day, sleep soundly in the spacious double bedroom. The private decked area has furniture outside, but guests can also enjoy the shared lawned garden and use the shared hot tub and summerhouse by arrangement.
Leave no stick unfetched with a walk through Miltonrigg Wood (2 miles). This cottage is perfectly placed for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. Why not start out at the former Roman military base at Birdoswald Roman Fort (8 miles) which offers a visitor centre and the longest extant stretch of the wall itself? Stock up on supplies in the vibrant market town, Brampton, (2 miles) or treat yourself to a meal out. The historic cathedral city of Carlisle is 12.5 miles and offers more options.
