  • "What a lovely cottage."

    View from the lounge was wonderful. Beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed and was well stocked with all little extras such as soap and toilet roll etc. lovely to have a welcome bottle of Prosecco and box of chocolates! The only thing was the garden wasn’t enclosed as stated. We luckily found a metal gate in the shed that we could use on the steps to stop our small dog escaping. The field was lovely but again not enclosed for a small dog as the fences had large gaps he could fit through. We were able to manage this by keeping our dog on a long lead. But overall a wonderful stay. Thank you.

    Thank you very much for your nice review. I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay . Thank you for your feedback back regarding the paddock . I will have a look at any gaps a small dog could get through and put some extra fencing in place . Best wishes and thanks for choosing Stanley Barn for your holiday . Property Owner

    A really lovely, comfortable home for us all for the week with everything we needed! Gorgeous views from the living room to start and end every day, the house is beautifully furnished and well equipped. The dogs loved having the field to run around in and the dog wash room was a blessing with so much muddy country side for us to explore around the area.

    Beautiful barn. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Beds very comfy and we all slept well after busy days out. Garden lovely and Tracey gave us some gates to put across the steps as we were worried nova would try to escape( she didn’t ) she loved running around the field which was secure. We went to a lovely pub called the Duke of Cumberland in castle cannock to meet up with family and we highly recommend this pub which does excellent food. The cottage is right on Hadrian’s wall. Good place for walkers. Went to birdoswolds English heritage site which was fab and worth a visit. Lanercost priory just down the road was interesting also EH. Carlisle about 35 mins ,Gretna green 30 mins and Keswick 1 hr, all worth a visit. We had a wonderful stay here and the views from the cottage were lovely. Peaceful area and cows and sheep in field opposite. 2 donkeys up the road were very sweet and always came to say hello. Thank you Tracey we all loved your cottage and would love to come back one day.

  • "We absolutely loved this property."

    It was our first time staying in a cottage we would usually book a caravan and we must say we will definitely be booking again. The facilities and decor are fantastic a real cosy home from home. It’s remote enough to offer peace and quiet yet everywhere is easily accessible. We managed to get out and see 4 of the big lakes during our stay. Dog friendly lovely enclosed field and driveway. This place will always hold a special place for us and we used it as our base to get married. Gretna Green is only a short car ride away so it really was perfect for us. There was a lovely hamper full of goodies for when we arrived which was a real personal touch. Thank You for having us and we will definitely be back to stay at Stanley Barn again Sarah and family

    Everything you need is there, comfortable surroundings, very well maintained and clean. Perfect for a dog, the enclosed field was great for exercise and the pooch parlour was a great addition. Lovely welcome pack and away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to lots of areas of interest.

    The Cottage had everything wr needed for a relaxing break and the addition of the field meant our dog had plenty of space to run. We had our elderly mum with us and she had a lovely birthday afternoon tea at a place less than 3 miles away. I would highly recommend Sanley Barn and give it 5 stars.

Just wish the holiday had been longer! Thank you, and we hope to be back before too long.

The property

Brampton 3.9 miles.

Perfectly positioned amidst the Cumbrian countryside and nestled between the Scottish borders and the North Pennines AONB is Stanley Barn, a beautifully appointed conversion on the outskirts of Brampton.

With its tranquil rural setting and a boutique interior design, Stanley Barn is a rare find for families or groups of six to call home as they enjoy the delights of Cumbria and beyond.

Enter into the striking stone-built barn and be welcomed into the kitchen/diner, where the modern kitchen suite, containing all the modern touches and integrated appliances one would expect balances the traditional features of the period property.

Adjoining the kitchen space is the dining table, surrounded by a quaint décor, which is complemented by the electric fire, sitting within a stone-built reveal; the focal point of this room.

Slip through the door to discover the sitting room, styled with a seamless blend of contemporary and charm, with the plush L-shape sofa inviting you in to tune into the TV or bask in the sunshine beaming in through the large patio doors, with the feature stone windows echoing the property's past.

Concluding the ground floor is the elegantly appointed double bedroom, boating refreshing hues of yellow and quality linens to ensure that sleep comes easy at the end of a bracing day.

The master bedroom can be found on the first floor, where exposed beams frame the plush double bed, piled with gorgeous cushions and the archway provides access to the en-suite, where Victorian-style tiling lies beneath an elegant roll-top bath and a spacious walk-in shower.

The third and final bedroom is made up of two single beds, good storage space and the beams again highlight the history of this magnificent property.

At Stanley Barn, the garden has been designed to be an extension of the house itself, where you can look forward to spending sunny afternoons on the large stone paved terrace outside the sitting room, as you savour the sunshine from the outdoor furniture and your canine companions roam the large lawn area freely!

If you can tear yourself away from this rural oasis, venture into the nearby market town of Brampton, where you will find a plethora of shops to explore, as well as pubs and tearooms to enjoy meals after a bracing day of the exploring the surrounding area.

Talkin Tarn Country Park is also nearby, where you and your loved ones can look forward to discovering the 65-acre lake set amid 120-acres of farmland and woodland or you could visit Gelt Woods for more gentle walking opportunities with a RSPB nature reserve to also enjoy.

Of course, Hadrian’s Wall is not to be missed whilst here, walk along this historic landmark and discover an array of ruins scattered along the way including turrets, castles and forts.

Other attractions include visiting the Solway Aviation Museum, the Walby Farm Park, The Cricket club which has a bar and the Lanercost Priory & Tea Rooms, offering something for all ages and tastes.

More outdoor adventure can be found slightly further afield in the scenic North Pennines AONB, where you can take on the challenge of climbing the peaks of Cold Fell, Great Blacklaw Hill, Pike Rigg and Black Fell, alternatively, you could head in the other direction to visit Gretna Green in Scotland for a unique day out.

With all of this to enjoy and much more, secure your stay at Stanley Barn for a fun-filled holiday.

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.
