  Situated a couple of miles outside of the main village of Brampton, the cottage is an ideal base to explore all of the delights Brampton has to offer of which there is an abundance!

  Swallow cottage is small but perfectly formed! Well stocked with all of the stuff you need for a long weekend tramping through the woods of Miltonrigg or meandering round the stunning Talkin Tarn lake. After your wander its well worth going into town and visiting the Howard Arms (very dog friendly) service with a smile and the food is great! Also if you just fancy a pint and to soak up a bit of cumbrian atmosphere then Shoulder of Mutton is the place to be (Also dog friendly) most pubs in town are. This place has the best home made pork pies I've ever tasted! Mrs Ackerley is a perfect host who gave us the warmest of welcome's and was a font of knowledge about the area. The garden was perfect for our two Jack Russells who simply did not want to leave! Storm Ciara did unfortunatley gatecrash our holiday but she didn't dampen our spirts. We simply lit the log fire and huddled around the table with a game and some nibbles and had some quality time completely unplugged!. The Hot tub is shared between all 4 properties and in need of some maintenance but once that's sorted it will be a perfect accompaniment to your stay. It's a short walk from the cottages but there is a summer house for you to change into your speedos :) The showers aren't the most powerful but do get the job done, however I would suggest talking your own bath towels as the ones provided are quite small. We really enjoyed our stay at Swallow cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to fellow trampers with furry friends!

  The caravan was lovely nice and clean and comfortable with a lovely leather recliner which really added to the experience for me personally.

  some nice welcome touches including a bottle of wine was really appreciated. the broadband advertised wanted to charge you when inputting the code that maybe one for the owners to review but it didn’t bother me as have plenty of data on phone. we had our dog with us who loves his caravans and I really appreciate the owners adding a gate at short notice thank you. the location is a fantastic base for Keswick and cockermouth if you want to drive 10 mins. there is nothing on the doorstep at all apart from a local social club but lovely for a nice peaceful escape. Only one potential change would be to see if you ca. put van in a sunnier location in the park as the veranda was shaded bu big hill and trees yet others has the sun all day. There seemed to be spaces and I think a south facing veranda would massively enhance the holiday experience. overall lovely holiday thank you

  Rosemary Cottage really is a home from home.

  It is charming on the outside and welcoming on the inside. Well furnished with all the homely touches you could ask for, including books, DVD's, a games console with games, jigsaws and information leaflets. The kitchen is well laid out and has everything you'd ever need. The bedrooms are well appointed with very comfortable beds. The modern bathroom is great with a massive shower and plenty of space. The finishing touch is the lovely garden with a table and chairs, plus a swing seat, for enjoying the views over the adjoining fields while taking in the sun. We also used the large garden shed for storing our mountain bikes, which was very useful. Overall, Rosemary Cottage was a joy to stay in and was a key element in a very enjoyable two week holiday. We would certainly recommend it and feel sure we'll be back.

  The caravan was clean and tidy but did find a couple of things wrong.

  The radiator in the kitchen was hit and miss, some of the utensils on the counter didn't feel clean so had to wash what we were going to use. Not sure if the heating goes off at night because it was quite cold. The fire made it cost enough in the living room. The main issue was the beds as the main bed was very uncomfortable and felt lumpy when laid on it. Ok for my mum as she is slight of frame, so had to buy a blow up and sleep in the living room.The twin beds were only really big enough for a child not an adult so couldn't sleep on them. Due to bed issues and the constant rain we cut our holiday short and came home a day earlier. I only booked this because the reviews on bed comfort was good but unfortunately it wasn't for me.

  Brigham holiday park is a true germ.

  The caravan is exactly as described on the website. Spotlessly clean, spacious enough for our young children to play around and as a self catering apartment, I have to say it was wonderfully equipped. As a precaution, we packed few kitchen bits to help but there was absolutely no need. We literally found everything we needed and more. For the children delight, we even found a DVD reader as well as kids favourite DVD’s. Wonderful caretakers, always ready to help no matter your need. The park witch is just 10 min drive from Keswick town centre, is quiet, safe and a perfect base to visit the beautiful surroundings. We just can’t wait to visit again in a near future.
