    “This is a nice, basic little cottage.”

    We felt that the kitchen would be more accurately labelled a kitchenette. Very basic facilities, a kettle, microwave, toaster and a single halogen ring, tucked into a very tiny space. The cottage is situated at the end of a very long gravel drive, miles from the nearest shop and it should have been made clear, a) to do your shopping before you arrive, and b), no cooking facilities.

    We felt that the kitchen would be more accurately labelled a kitchenette. Very basic facilities, a kettle, microwave, toaster and a single halogen ring, tucked into a very tiny space. The cottage is situated at the end of a very long gravel drive, miles from the nearest shop and it should have been made clear, a) to do your shopping before you arrive, and b), no cooking facilities. It would have been nice to have a chair outside but the cottage opens directly onto the owner's drive and farmyard. We are holiday cottage owners and would like our comments to be thought of as constructive not criticism.

About the location

BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA

Carlisle 10 miles.

The market town of Brampton is the ideal base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. The town boasts a rich and colourful history going back to the Roman occupation, Border reivers from Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings, plus bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton. In the centre of the town is Moot Hall, which was built in 1817, and now houses the Tourist Information Centre, and there is a large motte to the east of the town, which is 135 feet high and has the statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle on it. A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 120 acres of farmland and woodland, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, which is an ancient woodland and RSPB nature reserve and has the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is a wonderful base for exploring this historic and scenic area.

Please note: Two well-behaved dogs welcome - any additional pets would need to be requested and may incur a pet charge. Please avoid having pets on bedding or furniture; pets must be kept on lead as it is a working farm.
