Set in a group of nine holiday properties on a secluded farm, the cottage is located within the stunning North Pennines National Landscape. Perfect for large families or groups of friends, it offers a choice of walks and cycle routes from the door, including the gentle, 2-mile stroll around Castle Carrock Reservoir – with the village pub just 1.5 miles away to relax in afterwards. Discover the beauty of RSPB Geltsdale (7 miles), or head to Talkin Tarn Country Park (2 miles), where you can walk, try some water sports, or enjoy a cake in the tea room while watching the red squirrels. History lovers won’t want to miss the chance to visit Hadrian’s Wall, which is only 2.5 miles away. The northern edge of the Lake District is just 27 miles away, while Gretna and the Scottish border can be reached in 20 miles and Carlisle is 11 miles away.
This stunning, two-storey stone cottage is full of character, with beautiful features including exposed beams, internal steps and an impressive water wheel on one of the exterior walls. Inside, it boasts an elegant, open-plan living space, in which a choice of comfortable seating surrounds a wood burner, perfect for warming up after days in the open air. As you relax, you can enjoy some music on the Bluetooth-enabled sound system, or stream a favourite movie on the Smart TV. The charming kitchen includes everything you’ll need to create delicious holiday meals, with a dishwasher to help clean up, and there’s a useful washer/dryer, too. The four lovely bedrooms are styled beautifully for a dreamy night’s sleep: pick between two doubles, one twin and one bunk bedroom. Wash up in either of the two bathrooms (each with a shower over the bath) – one on each floor. Another lovely bonus is the bath robes and slippers provided, perfect when you’re heading out to the hot tub.
As well as the enclosed, lawned garden (on a slope), a spacious deck boasts sun loungers, dining furniture and a hot tub in an elevated position that enjoys the incredible views of the Lake District fells. Making arrivals and departures easy, you’ll have parking for three cars.
