  • "Beautiful barn, spotlessly clean."

    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.

  • "There was only one tea towel for the whole week, no long handled sweeping brush only a small brush and dustpan and no hoover which made it impossible to leave the property as we found it as is the norm."

    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.

    Fire and jacuzzi provided exactly what we needed/ wanted for a relaxing few days away :). Only things missing in the kitchen were chopping boards and perhaps salt & pepper. Also a sweeping brush would have been handy for the mud that came off our boots once dried. The 'only one shower' at a time situation was highlighted and was fine for us but I imagine some people wouldn't like it. Overall a lovely place to stay. Thank you.

  • "A comfortable base to explore the local area, back door to garden can be difficult to shut without slightly lifting."

    Patio slabs could do with relaying as potential tip hazard. Hot tub was an added bonus. Good food from the food court in Brampton and the for eating out The Duke of Cumberland in Castle Carrock was excellent, booking recommended. Just a shame we could only use 1 shower at a time or they would cut out. Only BBC1 and 2 available on the tv. Could do with a comprehensive guest information book. Some white goods manuals but the hob manual wasn’t there. Hoover needed a good clean out and clothes airer was broken when tried to put up. For enjoyable walks and local interest especially Vindolanda Fort, lovely cafe and Talkin Tarn for a choice of 3 walks around the lake plus cafe for coffee reward after your walk. Sorry but won’t be back to this property. Could do with a comprehensive booklet

    Unfortunately the barn wasn’t as clean as I would have liked with someone’s sock left in a drawer and a baby dummy found down the back of the bed . We didn’t hear from the owner all week and I had to call for instructions when leaving property. The hot tub was a lovely addition but there was no ph testing kit and no chlorine tablets and both my children have developed a rash which the gp says was due to the hot tub not being properly maintained The barn was fine for a few days but not worth the price tag I’m afraid to say

    We had a lovely peaceful stay, people were friendly and let us have a look round the farm. The accommodation was big and comfortable and clean. The only real issues that we had were that we all used showers after the hot tub and tripped the electrics, then spent an age trying to get them back on. We also had a rash, we believe from the hottub. Almost a year on though and the kids still have fond memories. They've mentioned several times about going back, and it's on our list to revisit at somepoint!

    Everything you need is in the barn, tea towels, plates etc. all rooms were clean and tidy and were a great size. As we took our dog, there were some great woods nearby which we walked through daily and the farmer kindly let us run our dog on their back field. The farmer also allowed our children to look at the cows and puppy sell dogs which they loved. The hot tub was a bonus, although the weather was cold it was great. Only downside is it didn’t have a shelter over it but we still used it. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will be returning again in the future.

  • "Nice cottage in a quiet location."

    Cottage itself was clean and comfortable, however was very disappointed with the hottub as the jets didn't work very well and it was questionable as to whether the water had been changed prior to our arrival as the water turned murky and started smelling by day 3 so we were unable to continue using it.

    Reviewed by Tracy4.1Jul 2022

  • "The property itself was set in a lovely location and the space of the property was good."

    The property definitely needed some TLC; Doors to the garden were broken and difficult to operate and there seemed to be a very large leak coming from the door frame when it rained, we tried to catch this in a pan however were unable to capture everything which led to the carpet being drenched. The owner had said this happened during last winter’s storms, however looking back on previous reviews it seems the door has been broken since 2019. The power to the hot tub was hanging off from the wall and seemed unsafe, the cover for the hot tub was broken, and the hot tub was not well kept as on the day of arrival there were lots of particles in the water and grit on the seats/floor. The hot tub definitely could have done with some sort of awning so that you could use it in all weathers… The patio in the garden was not level and most of the slabs were not secured down which caused one of our party to trip several times The gate to the garden and fencing were broken/leaning so it was not secure for the dog and at one point we had a random dog wander into our garden The tap in the kitchen was broken which meant when you turned it on water sprayed all over and also the cupboard door to the washing machine was broken so protruded out The cot that we were provided with also had a broken side so we had to engineer it to work Cleanliness could have been better- there were lots of cobwebs around and the carpet in the lounge area wasn’t great! For the price of the house I feel as though a few little bare necessities could have been provided such as cooking oil or salt and a welcome booklet with an explanation of the property would have been welcomed- especially if you didn’t know how to use the hot tub or are unfamiliar with the area. Also not enough towels provided and they are very small so I would definitely consider bringing your own.

  • "Whilst the property was adequate for our needs,there are a few issues I would like to raise."

    The property was listed as 'Dog friendly'....it was not. The garden fence was falling down and both gates were literally hanging off the hinges. We had to secure both gates with the garden chairs to ensure the dog and my young daughter couldn't escape. When we arrived at the property there was a leak in the living room and master bedroom, causing the carpets to be sodden. When I called the owner to advise her, she apologised but said they had tried to fix it several times and to use pans to collect the water as she didn't have any buckets. Later in the week, the leak got worse but nothing was done about it. We found several piles of dog pooh in the garden from the previous occupiers. Absolutely disgusting that this was left in the first place, but clear that the owner hadn't checked the property before the next rental. No hand sanitizer in the property which in my opinion should be standard given the pandemic we have just lived through. There was no welcome pack in the property to advise on instructions for the hot tub,local area information etc. The kettle broke during our stay and the owner was great and brought a replacement almost immediately. Newspaper was used in the gaps in the brick work on the stairs which caused a constant draft. A nice property but needs some serious attention!

    Light shades in main bedroom very shoddy and en-suite shower needs some updating. I think for the price we paid not all that satisfactory. Perhaps the cost goes to heating the hot tub but as we didn’t use it it seemed a waste. I resent having to strip beds, etc and in future Covid wont be an excuse for a ‘do it yourself’ holiday.

  • "When we arrived we were met by the owner who was very friendly."

    She didn’t want to come in the house “because of COVID” so she just really left us to it. Apart from some instructions for kitchen appliances that we found in a drawer there was absolutely no information about the cottage or the surrounding area. We discovered that the lid on the hot tub was broken but there was no mention of this. On the Sunday we tried to use the tiny and ancient dishwasher but it was clear that the control panel was broken and had been for some time. We reported this to the owner who said she would get someone in to look at it. This happened at 5 15 pm on the Friday-the last night of the holiday! The repair man confirmed that the dishwasher needed a new control panel or replacing altogether and that he would report this to the owners. Just after this at 6pm we discovered that the gas bottle for the bbq was empty-just as we were about to cook four very expensive steaks. The owners didn’t have a spare one. The shower in the main bathroom stopped working on our second day and the owner told us there was an isolation switch in the bedroom and that should do the trick. It did, although the switch seemed a little dodgy. Bath towels are the old traditional size rather than bath sheets so quite tiny. I would say bring your own. Plus points were the generous supply of toilet rolls (4 in each bathroom), the friendly owners and their son who rescued our frisbee from a very high barn roof. We just feel that the cottage was a bit tired and needs sprucing up in some areas. For the price we paid we didn’t expect to have to wash up for the entire week and would welcome an offer of compensation for this major inconvenience.

The property

A fabulous, terraced barn conversion on the owner’s 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.

About the location

MILTON

Brampton 2 miles; Hadrian's Wall 7 miles; Carlisle 11 miles.

The small rural village of Milton is ideally placed for exploring northern Cumbria, including not-to-be-missed Hadrian's Wall, the lovely coastline of the Solway Firth and the dramatic northern Lake District National Park. The nearby market town of Brampton has a rich and colourful history going back to the Roman occupation, Border raiders from Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings. Bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton, which is now a shop. A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 180 acres, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Further south is Gelt Woods which is an ancient woodland with the River Gelt running through. A superb base for exploring this historic and scenically beautiful area.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Last minute
  • Christmas
