About this property
A fabulous, terraced barn conversion on the owner’s working farm in the pretty hamlet of Milton, just a short drive from Brampton. Lovingly converted, the interior of The Barn has been well-thought-out to provide maximum comfort for guests. The sitting room has a warming woodburner and sumptuous sofas, the large windows overlook the enclosed garden and French doors lead to the patio area. This is an ideal spot for letting the dogs safely stretch their legs or just relaxing and watching the sun descend behind the Tindle Fells to the West. On frosty evenings what would be better than battening down the hatches, and relaxing in front of the woodburner whilst watching a film on the 50" Smart TV!
The adjoining kitchen/diner has a large table, ideal for those family meals or a spot of Monopoly. The Barn is ideal for a large family or couples, with two en-suite bedrooms and a family bathroom for the third bedroom. Perfectly positioned for visiting the Scottish Borders, Northern Lakes and Pennines, this is a wonderful place for a Cumbrian break at any time of year. Note: This cottage is next to Refs. 3738, 3739, 4585, 917515, 922499 and 941220, 949797, together they sleep 30.
Ideally placed for exploring northern Cumbria, the hamlet of Milton is close to all of the region's most popular attractions including Hadrians Wall, the Solway Firth coast and the Lake District National Park. The nearby market town of Brampton dates back to the Roman occupation, and shows evidence of attacks from Scottish border raiders and Jacobite uprisings.

Very welcoming owners. Some minor detailsâ¦no instructions re- waste bins. Curtains in main bedroom didnât meet to cover whole window. Perhaps a small welcome pack? However, we had a great weekend and would recommend,

The beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was great and the location perfect. We ventured out every day to the many sights and activities in the wider location. Overall a memorable week with the family. Oh and our dogs loved it too!!!
