Enjoy a getaway to remember in this luxurious holiday home near Brampton in Cumbria. Sleeping six guests and two waggy-tailed companions, it’s the ideal retreat for large families and groups of friends holidaying together, with two lounge areas and a choice of dining spaces both indoors and outside. The property is a fantastic base for keen walkers, located just 3 miles from the Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail and also within easy reach of the remote landscapes of the North Pennines, Lake District, and Solway Coast.

The converted chapel is full of character, with fabulous stained-glass windows and exposed stonework. Enter into a spacious entrance hall, where you can store all your outdoor attire. At the heart of the home is a magnificent lounge/kitchen/diner. The kitchen area has all the equipment and worktop space needed to cater for a large group, and a striking dining table takes centre stage. Relax in the inviting lounge area, watching a movie on the Smart TV as the hounds doze in front of the wood burner. In summer months, open the sliding doors to the lovely garden. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility room. Upstairs, discover a stylish snug area with a second Smart TV. Also on this floor are three stylish king-size bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms. Rounding off this level is a sleek family bathroom. Please note, these rooms are nestled in the eaves, and you may experience restricted head height in some areas. Outside, enjoy al fresco entertaining in the patio garden, which boasts an array of outdoor furniture, a BBQ, and a wood-fired hot tub. This area is fully enclosed for your furry holiday companions. Private parking is available for up to four cars.

The historic market town of Brampton (7 miles) has some excellent paw-friendly eateries, including cosy pubs and friendly cafes. Just outside the town is the fascinating Gelt Woods, where you and the pups can marvel at the Roman quarry used to build Hadrian’s Wall and wander through the impressive, sandstone gorge and ancient woodlands. Alternatively, for a waterside stroll, journey to the beautiful Talkin Tarn Country Park (9 miles), known for its breathtaking glacial lakes and stunning views.

Beautiful stay at Leonelli House for our dads 70th birthday. The house is stunning, pictures don't do it justice. Great location close to shops, pub, restaurants etc although car is required. House is very well maintained, spotlessly clean and everything we could have possibly thought of was provided. We will recommend and would definitely return iRead moren the future. Hide

Such comfortable beds, lovely hot tub, well equipped and fantastic quiet location. Tawny owls in tree out back which is not common. Plenty of instructions given too which is always helpful. Lovely open space and plenty of lighting. Such a wonderful stay

What a great find! Lovely property with plenty of room and comfort. Great location to explore Cumbria and the surrounding areas. The added benefit of the hot tub after a great day out to relax in was a real bonus. Definitely would make a return visit in the future.

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

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
