About this property
A fabulous, terraced barn conversion on the owners 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.

Also when using the oven, when you opened the oven door the heat sensor in the kitchen always went off, very loud too. We had one very windy day while we were there and were smoked out of the living room when we lit the log burner, there was no information anywhere that this could happen. The slabs in the patio are very, very uneven and should be completely relaid. They are very dangerous to walk on. There was no guest book with general information about the property and surrounding area although there were leaflets in the cabinet. On a plus, the beds were really comfortable.

A real home from home. The owners were wonderful hosts, did not interfere but were around if they were needed. Loved waking to the sound of the cockerels every morning & watching them wonder around the farm. The hot tub was an added bonus & very well maintained. We had a really relaxing holiday & would definitely return. Thank you.
