    “All I can say is Herdwick Cottage, was more than I'd expected.”

    I'd had a Lovely time, with my Dad, and had enjoyed my 62nd Birthday on Saturday 8th Feb, in the Market Town I'b been born in. We managed to Visit Dads sister Winnie, 3 times over the Week (She is suffering Dementia, and will not remember her brother in the near future). We also Visited, My Mums side of the families Niece Jill. I'd contacted Sally, to let her know I'd Left her a Sheep Themed Thank You Present, and afew other items, for the Cottage.

    I'd had a Lovely time, with my Dad, and had enjoyed my 62nd Birthday on Saturday 8th Feb, in the Market Town I'b been born in. We managed to Visit Dads sister Winnie, 3 times over the Week (She is suffering Dementia, and will not remember her brother in the near future). We also Visited, My Mums side of the families Niece Jill. I'd contacted Sally, to let her know I'd Left her a Sheep Themed Thank You Present, and afew other items, for the Cottage. I had issues with The Sofas being too low, but solved the issue, by sitting on The Puffey, That brought me up to the level of getting up off the low level sofa. (Ironically, it was Dad that surgested the use of the puffey, to give me the height, I needed to get up off the sofa, without struggling). The Welcome pack was well liked, Dad eat the Sweets in 2 Days. lol. The Weather was colder than Dad, had remembered, thankfully I'd brought some thermal gear with me, and he was a lot more warmer and happier. Both me and Dad are smokers (we was good boys and smoked outside). A small Awing, that we could of opened, for when it was raining, would of been nice, (Ibought 2 umbrellas, from a Charity shop). Almost everthing that was in The Cottage, including the left over coffees,tea bags,etc, was very much appreciated. I left my half of Hot Chocolate, for any other future guest, that would like it. and I left a big cup and some butter knives. (Some of the few items, I'd given towards the Cottage). I will be booking from Sally again, next time I need to come up to Cumbria, from Kent. As I got 7 days there, for the Price of 3 nights in a Hotel, and we felt more at home, which made the trip a lot more enjoyable than we'd even hoped for). On the Way home, I went to My Son's (Nr Wigan). To see my New Grand Child Number 14, called Renesmae, who Arrived on 12th Feb. (and she slept the whole time, but considering - She wasn't due until 3rd of March.) lol. You are welcome to use my aka Delstuart1963. (my first name and middle name combined).

The property

Nestled in the market town of Brampton in Cumbria on the fringes of the Lake District National Park and close to Hadrian’s Wall Path is Herdwick Cottage.

This beautifully presented cottage is just a five-minute stroll into the centre of Brampton and is an ideal base for walkers and families exploring Cumbria and the Scottish Borders.

After a busy day hiking, cycling, or wandering, kick off your walking boots before sinking into one of the plush velvet green sofas and flicking on the Smart TV; give your feet a rest and unwind here before preparing dinner in the fully equipped kitchen/diner.

The rustic wooden dining table is a good space for five to dine together, maybe with a glass of wine or perhaps wander onto the patio surrounded by a pretty garden with the sound of the church clock of St Martin’s.

When sleep calls, retire to any of the bedrooms: there is a king size double, a twin and a single room all serviced by a sleek modern bathroom.

Brampton offers a range of amenities including friendly pubs, Berry’s Tearoom, Cranston’s Foodhall, farm shop and gift shops.

Spend the day exploring the historic and beautiful Lanercost Priory close to Hadrian’s Wall; walk around the stunning Talkin Tarn; visit some of the many historic sites such as Birdoswald Roman Fort, or maybe wander in the beautiful and ancient Miltonrigg Woods.

All these are within a ten-mile radius of Brampton.

The Pennine Way is an amazing long-distance trail only half an hour’s drive away within the North Pennines AONB and The Lake District National Park is filled with walks and trails where you can experience yet more breath-taking countryside of Cumbria.

Choose Herdwick Cottage as your base for a relaxing countryside retreat to Brampton, Cumbria.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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.
