    “An immaculately clean and well-presented cottage.”

    The cottage has all the basic amenities and features that we would require, plus plenty of extras. An example being a smart TV with Netflix and other features available. The cottage’s owner was very friendly and helpful, and we were left a welcome package of food which included a generous fruit bowl. Eddie also popped round with some homegrown tomatoes which were delicious. Whilst not located in one of the honeypot villages of the area, the cottage is located in a village that is well placed ...

The cottage’s owner was very friendly and helpful, and we were left a welcome package of food which included a generous fruit bowl. Eddie also popped round with some homegrown tomatoes which were delicious. Whilst not located in one of the honeypot villages of the area, the cottage is located in a village that is well placed for most of the many local attractions, including walking on Hadrian‘s Wall. There is a pub close by which serves food, and a wonderful local community shop and cafe, the Hallbankgate hub. We would definitely return.

    Many thanks for taking the time to comment on your recent stay Judith. We are so pleased that you had an enjoyable holiday, and thanks for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. Regards to Peter, you will both be welcome any time at Stable Cottage. Best wishes Cath and Eddie. Property Owner

Recently completed Barn Conversion with generous on site parking for two vehicles at the front of the property. There are beautiful views of the Pennine Hills from both bedroom windows. Boasting a well-equipped kitchen, enclosed garden and off-road parking, Stable Cottage welcomes four guests to relish the ultimate escape to Cumbria. After unloading your personal belongings, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, ready to kick back and relax in the homely sitting room as the electric flame-effect stove roars away next to you; allow the designated chef to cook up a storm utilising a range of high-quality appliances before settling down at the dining table to tuck in!

About the location

HALLBANKGATE

Brampton 3.5 miles; Carlisle 12.8 miles; Penrith 22.3 miles.

Situated on the North Westerly edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the picturesque village of Hallbankgate. Once a former coal and lead mining settlement and home to the renowned Lord Carlisle's railway, Hallbankgate is now a lovely holiday destination, nestled amongst the unspoilt scenery of Cumbria with fascinating limestone quarries resting on its southern end. Named after Lord William Howard of Naworth castle, the traditional, 17th century pub of The Belted Will is highly rated amongst the locals and boasts friendly service and great food. Hallbankgate additionally hosts a handy supermarket, where holiday-goers can grab all of their essentials during their stay. The village backs onto the nature reserve of RSPB Geltsdale, where walkers and cyclists can wander through to their heart's content whilst spotting the Cumbrian wildlife. The Talkin Tarn Country Park is even closer to the village and is an extremely popular fishing and picnicking spot. Travel further afield to Lanercost, where history fans will be pleased to discover the stunning ruins of the once-glorious Lanercost Priory, before continuing on to the remains of Hadrian's Wall. With easy access to Brampton and Carlisle, visitors are provided ample opportunity for days out filled with attractions and culture. Nature enthusiasts can venture further into the North Pennines AONB to discover more outdoors activities, or visit the Lake District National Park for a plethora of lakeside fun and watersports to partake in.
