The Hayloft, Cumbria

This charming, stone-built, semi-detached barn conversion is one of seven on the owner’s working farm, in the rural hamlet of Milton, just two miles from the bustling market town of Brampton. The Hayloft is bright and cheerful with a thoughtfully-designed interior, ideal for a small family or a group of friends in need of a break away to a rural retreat, excellently situated for exploring the Scottish Borders, Northern Lakes and the Pennines. Inside this lovely property, both bedrooms boast en-suite shower facilities, with one being a luxurious king-size double, perfect for the adults, and the other a twin, ideal for the children. Downstairs you’ll find a cosy sitting room, complete with a three piece suite, an electric fire and French doors opening onto a patio area, a great spot to sit and enjoy a good book and a glass of something cool. The modern fitted kitchen with dining area comes equipped with all you need to prepare a celebratory family dinner, whilst a cloakroom completes the downstairs of the splendid cottage. With plenty to see and do from the doorstep, why not experience some local history and discover the Roman ruins at Birdoswald, Vindolanda and Housesteads? Alternatively, visit Thirlwall Castle and beautiful Talkin Tarn, for watersports and wonderful walks. A little further afield are the stunning Northern Lakes, Eden Valley and the rugged Scottish Borders, all just waiting to be explored. No matter what time of year you decide to holiday, The Hayloft is perfectly positioned for those wishing to explore the Cumbrian countryside and beyond.
