Description

Situated on a working farm in the village of Milton close to the Northumbrian and Cumbrian border, nestling in the foothills of the North Pennines, The Stable, The Byre and The Dairy are a row of three stone built cottages and Swallow, Swift, The Barn and The Hayloft Cottages are all skilfully converted from farm buildings and an old dairy. During the restoration many original features like beamed ceilings and exposed stonework have been carefully retained. The cottages provide a superb base from which to explore this region. Here you will find wild fells, stunning views and peaceful walks under big skies. Hadrian's Wall is nearby with the forts of Birdoswald, Housesteads and Vindolanda all within a short drive. The North Pennines are equally accessible, this area is justly described as "England's Last Wilderness" and righty designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Part of this area is the RSPB Geltsdale Reserve, it is home to black grouse, birds of prey and breeding wading birds. It is ideal for walking with 4 way-marked trails, a parking area and a visitor centre. The market town of Brampton is just 2 miles with a good range of shops and amenities, whilst the Border City of Carlisle is just 10 miles. There are many footpaths and bridleways nearby including Gelt Woods and Talkin Tarn Country Park just 3 miles where you can enjoy sailing, rowing, fishing or relax with a picnic.

Reviews

I would love to give this property a good review. The location is lovely with easy access to the North Pennines and Hadrian's wall, and the North Lakes and Solway coast a short drive away. The owners are friendly and the property is comfortable. But there are so many defects in the equipment that I cannot recommend. I have given the owners a list, but several of these problems have been mentioned in previous reviews this year. To describe the property as having an enclosed garden is not correct, and the private patio is actually in the car park. There are lots of places nearby to walk dogs, but no enclosed area at the cottage itself.

Mr G,

The location is excellent for exploring the area and many outdoor activities. The cottage is cosy comfortable and well equipped and the outdoor chairs catch the sun most of the day.

Mrs F,

Lovely cottage, well appointed and spotlessly clean. As it was during the Christmas/New Year period the little touches such as the Christmas tree and other decorations made it feel very cosy and us very welcome. The greeting on arrival put us at ease straight away. The bed was extremely comfortable. Had a thoroughly enjoyable mini break and would most definitely come again.

Mr G,

Everything about the holiday was good, except the weather but nobody could do anything about that. The property was clean and comfortable and well equipped and the owners very friendly and helpfull. We had a lovely week.

Mr George T,
