Area
Ideally placed for exploring northern Cumbria, the hamlet of Milton is close to all of the region's most popular attractions including Hadrians Wall, the Solway Firth coast and the Lake District National Park. The nearby market town of Brampton dates back to the Roman occupation, and shows evidence of attacks from Scottish border raiders and Jacobite uprisings. Apparently, the Scottish Bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton, now a shop. Just a few miles away is Talkin Tarn Country Park, covering 180 acres - 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Slightly further south is Gelt Woods, an ancient forest along the banks of the River Gelt.

Region
Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.

Mabel and her husband were really welcoming and friendly.. The cottage itself was ideally located for either a quiet retreat or access to the wider Cumbria region and beyond. A lovely, clean and cosy little place to stay.

Stopped with the owners about 6 years ago and when I realised they had built the new cottages I was looking forward to stopping.. Great place, surrounded by walks, an hour from scotland, hour from the lakes. Just a great location and the owners are great as usual.

Miss Toor, July 2020

This cottage is a little gem we booked it last minute we were met by Mabel when we arrived who was warm and welcoming everything was very clean and you had everything you needed within the cottage.. You do need a car to visit places as the nearest shop was a couple of miles away there is 7 cottages in total some of the others have gardens which would of made our stay perfect but we did know when we booked there was no enclosed garden but this was the only available cottage for rental. It was nice and clean our dog settled straight away. Highly recommend this cottage for a break away.

Great location and perfect if you have a pet.. Hot tub is to share with others and although not working fully - we still used it. Only downside was we could not find any places in the evening to eat to take the dog. But we would stay again.

This is a warm and welcoming cottage, it provided all the mod cons but cleverly retained many of the original features which made it very easy to live in, and catered for everything.. The owners have thought of everything and provide good quality accommodation, they are very informative about the area and made us very welcome. They even let us help with the lambing which was a pleasure. I would return to the cottage as it is perfectly located for a number of destinations all within an hour which gave us a great flavour of the area. We were able to take our dogs and this made it a great holiday Thank you

Was a one-off holiday when I visited the uk from Australia so prob wouldn't rebook but not due to anything lacking! The property was perfect. Was very convenient to taking off on day drives which is what we wanted to do but prob not if you wanted to walk from the property anywhere. This didn't worry us as we were happy to take off each day. The property was above & beyond our expectations with a full kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful leather lounge suite and a massage chair ... Everything vey thoughtfully considered. Downstairs toilet a very handy extra as both upstairs bedrooms were en suite.
