    “This property is probably the best we have stayed in.”

    Its location enabled us to have a peaceful and relaxing holiday but at the same time it is not far from places of interest including Hadrian’s Wall, Northern Lakes, Carlisle, Hexham and Scotland. Locally Brampton and Lanercost Priory are worth a visit. Some lovely pubs and walks including Talkin Tarn and the Blacksmiths pub in Talkin village.

    Its location enabled us to have a peaceful and relaxing holiday but at the same time it is not far from places of interest including Hadrian’s Wall, Northern Lakes, Carlisle, Hexham and Scotland. Locally Brampton and Lanercost Priory are worth a visit. Some lovely pubs and walks including Talkin Tarn and the Blacksmiths pub in Talkin village. The cottage was lovely with beautiful bedding and comfy beds, thick towels and excellent showers and all necessary equipment in the well designed kitchen area. The patio was a pretty place to sit in even cushions and throws supplied. We were most pleasantly surprised at the welcome gifts that had been left and the extra gifts in upstairs. What a delightful touch. A special thank you to the owners who made our holiday something to remember and hopefully we will be able to revisit.

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.
