    “We have returned to the house we absolutely love.”

    A beautiful home and area to stay in. We will definitely return again but there are a few areas which need some tlc. The sofas in the main living room area haven't been changed since our first visit 10 years ago! They are very uncomfortable, basically just a frame with covers in, all the cushioning has gone. Please buy new ones! The tap in the kitchen is leaking all over the work surface, just needs a new washer. The fridge/freezer in the utility room is the same one that was there when we first ...

    A beautiful home and area to stay in. We will definitely return again but there are a few areas which need some tlc. The sofas in the main living room area haven't been changed since our first visit 10 years ago! They are very uncomfortable, basically just a frame with covers in, all the cushioning has gone. Please buy new ones! The tap in the kitchen is leaking all over the work surface, just needs a new washer. The fridge/freezer in the utility room is the same one that was there when we first visited 10 years ago! It has mould around the rubber and isn't working properly, it kept freezing the fridge food, and it just isn't big enough for 10 adults for 2 weeks. Please buy a new American fridge freezer, this would also fix your water issue and we wouldn't need to buy bottled water. There is a roof tile missing above the front door, it has left a hole right through to the ceiling which is causing damp problems in the dining room and on the landing upstairs. There is mould and damp on the carpet around the toilet in the main bathroom caused by condensation dripping. All the carpets upstairs are quite badly stained now in several places, im not sure even an industrial carpet cleaner will get them clean so may need replacing, again the carpets are over 10 years old. The cooker is also over 10 years old and was struggling to stay hot on the left side oven, it is also rusting on the front and the 5th burner on the hob isn't working properly, another appliance that really requires updating now. Toilet in the main bedroom isn't screwed into the floor properly so moves when you sit on it, the toilet seat in the furthest bedroom needs screwing on properly as it kept falling off. The bed in the furthest bedroom just needs tightening up with allen keys, as do both single beds in the twin room, we couldn't find any otherwise we'd have done it. The twin room also really needs a wardrobe, there is plenty of room for one. Everywhere could do with a fresh lick of paint now. With all these things I've raised i must say we would still return. The beds are comfortable, the layout of the house is beautiful, the outside space is well looked after and the dog kennels are so handy. It is a beautiful home and we fell in love with it fir the first time over 10 years ago and have frequently returned, so im raising the above issues because I love the house so much and I know unless issues are raised they can be easily missed so I'd rather help keep the house beautiful like it was when we first visited, it just needs some tickets maintenance and a few things replacing which can easily be done. We look forward to visiting again next year

The property

New House is an impressive original Cumbrian farm house incorporating a modern extension for today’s 21C lifestyles.

Originally built in 1909, with commanding views of the Scottish Borders and rolling farmland it is set in its own 2 acres of gardens.

This charming house has been thoughtfully extended to create a welcoming, peaceful, rural retreat, ideal for a group of friends or a large family gathering. Comfortably furnished throughout, the house incorporates many original features in the rooms at the front, housing a sitting room with inglenook fireplace and warming woodburner, and a separate formal dining room, perfect for a celebration dinner, along with a snug to put your feet up and relax in.

The dining room leads to a spacious open plan extension with well-equipped kitchen, island unit, comfy sofas, multi-fuel stove and large family breakfast area, offering a great social space where the whole party can congregate together, some warming their toes by the fire whilst the nominated chef prepares a culinary delight for the evening ahead.

In the summer months walk through to the patio area with a stunning vista and wonderful sunsets.

On the first floor, five large comfortable bedrooms, two with en-suite facilities, provide flexible sleeping arrangements. Set in a large, beautifully tended garden, there's plenty of space around this holiday cottage for the whole family to enjoy; take a seat on the patio and take in the lovely views over The Flatt, Blackpool Gate and the Scottish Borders. Locally, explore the ruins of Bewcastle and St Cuthbert’s Church with the 7th century Bewcastle Cross, or simply don your wellies, call the dogs and stride out from the doorstep to discover the wealth of footpaths interweaving the rich surrounding pastureland. A little further afield, why not spend the day exploring Kielder Forest, take a trip to Carlisle, discover the beautiful Solway Coast or enjoy a visit to Hadrian's Wall? Perhaps head north, visiting the Dumfries & Galloway coastline, or the famous Scottish Borders with all their Border Reiver history? Or to go south, the Lake District and Northern Lakes are reachable within the hour, enabling you to walk some Lakeland Fells. There are many attractions to choose from, from fascinating historic sites to interesting towns and forest parks. The perfect destination for that long-awaited family get together.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
