    “Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Milford.”

    Lovely traditional stone-built cottage with helpful owners who have clearly spent a lot of time successfully renovating it into a place that felt like a modern home from home. It had absolutely everything we needed, including a fully-equipped kitchen that meant we had the option of eating in (as well as out in the adjacent village), the bonus of a wood-burning stove to warm our feet after our days out, & a very comfy bed. The location is perfect: genuinely rural but with everything you need a ...

    Lovely traditional stone-built cottage with helpful owners who have clearly spent a lot of time successfully renovating it into a place that felt like a modern home from home. It had absolutely everything we needed, including a fully-equipped kitchen that meant we had the option of eating in (as well as out in the adjacent village), the bonus of a wood-burning stove to warm our feet after our days out, & a very comfy bed. The location is perfect: genuinely rural but with everything you need a short drive away. The village itself is quaint with some peaceful riverside paths, quick walk to the local train station that takes you to the centre of historic Carlisle in 9 mins, not far from the North Pennines / Hadrian’s Wall, & less than an hour’s drive to the Lake District. Although shut for renovation during our stay, the inn on the village green is literally around the corner, and the alternative country pub is just 20 mins walk away in Wetheral. We loved our stay. Our dog loved his stay. Strongly recommend.

About the location

WETHERAL

Carlisle 5.3 miles.

The village of Wetheral lies five miles from Carlisle in the north of Cumbria. With great transport links, Wetheral has a quaint village green and is overlooked by a restaurant, pub, village shop and tearooms, along with the Crown Hotel. A short steep walk takes you past the church and remains of the abbey to the River Eden. To the east, the 19th century viaduct towers above the river with some of the best salmon fishing in the country. Further along the river you can view a wonderful waterfall from Corby Castle, and woodland walks lead to the remains of the caves used in the 14th century. Carlisle – the Border City – is the main shopping, commercial and industrial centre in the northern half of Cumbria, with a museum, historic tours, and plenty of entertainment for you to enjoy at your own leisure.
