This beautifully converted stone barn is an excellent choice for solo travellers or couples wanting to explore the North Pennines and further afield. Walking and cycling routes start at the door, and when you return at the end of an exciting day, you’ll have a private patio for relaxing as the stars come out.
Thoughtfully designed to be M2-accessible, the cottage is all on the ground-floor and has underfloor heating throughout. The open-plan living area is bright and inviting, with a wood burner creating a cosy focal point. Sink into the soft seating and make the most of the Smart TV and DVD player for entertainment. The kitchen is arranged with all the facilities you’ll need for holiday cooking, with a washer/dryer for practicality. The super-king-size bedroom is a serene space that is beautifully co-ordinated, and features its own TV for lazy mornings or late-night viewing. An en-suite wet room with grab rails and slip-resistant flooring completes the interior. The private, enclosed patio offers a delightful spot for coffee, drinks or dining in the sunshine. Parking for two cars is available about 10 metres from the cottage (there is a gentle slope), with space directly outside for loading and unloading.
The cottage is set within a collection of award-winning holiday properties on a peaceful farm. Castle Carrock Reservoir is just 0.5 miles away, which has an accessible circular route – listen out for cuckoos, woodpeckers, geese and buzzards as you walk or wheel along. Afterwards, relax in the welcoming pub/restaurant in Castle Carrock village, 1.5 miles away. The charming market town of Brampton is only 4 miles away, while the historic city of Carlisle, home to a majestic castle and iconic cathedral, is 11 miles away. You can reach both the Lake District and the Scottish border within 28 miles.
