About this property
A charming, stone-built, semi-detached cottage on the owner’s working farm in the rural hamlet of Milton, two miles from the Cumbrian market town of Brampton.

On chillier nights, stoke up the woodburner, curl up and watch the stars from the windows whilst those who enjoy the cooking can rustle up a tasty treat in the kitchen behind.

The cottage was very well set out with plenty of space for us all. The wifi worked well. The kitchen was well set up with plenty of storage space and a fridge-freezer big enough for a week's shop. Lots of power points and really good heaters for a cosy stay. Also, the log fire was lovely and the owner provided plenty of logs for our stay. Private patio area and garden which was useful. Just a few minor maintenance issues that didn't interfere with our enjoyment. Overall, a very quiet and peaceful stay. Highly recommended.

It had everything you need to stay to make your stay enjoyable, the toaster needs replacing though you have to stand and hold the button down and when you are trying to do breakfasts for a family it's not ideal , for the price of a new one it's a little thing that just needs replacing. Overall a lovely little quiet , tranquil place and the owners are lovely
