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 & 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

Nice comfortable stay, good location

Ms D,

Lovely cottage, nice lounge, kitchen/ diner. Bonus to have dishwasher as well as washing machine. Large double room with great storage makes up for lack of storage in twin room. Comfy beds. Excellent location, we travelled easily to Lakes and Alnwick. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Miss D,

The Byre is a spacious bungalow with all the required facilities to enjoy a holiday. Access from the parking area is 3 steps to a gravelled path then 5 steps to the front patio area about 20 metres. My wife and I are reasonably fit octogenarians and only suffered breathlessness after unloading our belongings, anyone with mobility problems may struggle somewhat.

Mr G,

The Byre provided us with our main needs during a relatively short (4 nights) stay, the location was perfect for the section of Hadrian's wall that we wanted to explore. Having an enclosed garden was ideal as we had a dog with us.

Mr G,

I booked this for my daughter and new husband's honeymoon break. The owners were very helpful when I asked about a few extras. The newlyweds thoroughly enjoyed their time there. Thank you.

Mrs E,
