“The accomodation is lovely and ...”

The accomodation is lovely and clean and in a great rural location for exploring the countryside on foot. It has everything you would need for a relaxing and very secluded break from the world.

“A thoroughly enjoyable break.”

A thoroughly enjoyable break. Location was excellent for getting along the wall and a good diversion for my husband who is having cancer treatment. A joy not to have a phone signal for anyone to bug us. Would recommend to anyone as warm and comfortable. Thanks for the wonderful break

“nice place overall”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and is compact enought for 2 people. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is comfy. The only issue I had was the power from the shower is really low to the point of an almost dribble and it was really cold in the cottage and took a long time to heat up. Other than those minor niggles it is a great little cottage and good spot for getting out and about

About the location

GILSLAND

Haltwhistle 6 miles; Brampton 9 miles.

Gilsland is a small village with two pubs and a tea room on the Northumberland, Cumbria border. It is situated on Hadrian's Wall and is ideal for exploring the north Pennines, Eden Valley, the Scottish Borders and even as far south west as the Lake District National Park. Gilsland lies within 10 miles of Housesteads Roman Fort and Vindolanda, famous for the Roman parchment letters and settlement reconstruction. There are numerous castle ruins close by, including Blenkinsopp, Thirlwall, Bellister and Bewcastle, and the pretty market town of Brampton is within a 15-minute drive and Carlisle is just 30 minutes away. For a great day trip, visit the Lake District National Park, or spend a day in Cumbria. The scenery in this area is stunning, with wide panoramic vistas looking out on the Roman Wall which follows the Whin Sill escarpment, making this quiet corner of England a walker's and cyclist's delight.
