A stick’s throw from the peaceful village of Gilsland, this stone-built retreat is perfect for couples looking to reconnect with nature by exploring the magnificent borderlands of Cumbria and Northumberland with their four-pawed third wheel.
At the end of a long walkies, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that welcomes you is brimming with stunning features that’ll set tails wagging; exposed beams and homely touches add character and plenty of warmth. Whip up some tasty treats with your fabulous local produce in the contemporary kitchen before unwinding weary walking muscles on the plush sofa that’s perfectly positioned to catch up on your favourite programme on the Smart TV. Take the lead to the twin bedroom, to enjoy a peaceful rest before kick-starting your next adventure with a refreshing shower in the sleek, contemporary en-suite shower room. While the beds aren’t zip-and-link, they can be positioned together on request. Outside, the open front patio is a wonderful spot to soak up the sweeping views of rolling fields. Please note that dogs should be kept on a lead once outside the cottage. There’s private parking for two cars at the property.
Surrounded by rolling countryside, there’s direct access to scenic footpaths and cycling trails along the borderlands of Cumbria and Northumberland beginning from the doorstep. Situated on Hadrian’s Wall, the sleepy village of Gilsland, 2 miles away, offers some wonderful walks around the village and through its breathtaking scenery to discover with your four-legged friend in tow. Take the lead to the pretty market town of Brampton, 10.5 miles away, to sniff out some wonderful local produce from its fabulous selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants before finding plenty of sticks to fetch along the surrounding footpaths and bridleways that weave through woods, fields and moorlands.
