“Excellent”

Stayed in the small cottage 'The Stable'

Stayed in the small cottage 'The Stable' 2 adults and dog Excellent little place to stay. The cottage is perfect size for a couple. Clean, warm, well equipped and welcoming. Great location for exploring the area, Gretna 25 mins away, Carlisle 15 mins away, hadrians wall 20 mins away. Will definitely be returning for a break in the summer!

The hot tub didn't work and was cold the main reason we booked the cottage Hot tap in bath worked for a little while and had to fill rest with electric shower

“I absolutely loved my stay at the stable.”

It was really cosy, clean and in the most perfect location for walking through the rspb reserve, gelt woods, talkin tarn etc. However I was without WiFi’s until Tuesday and I had arrived on Friday. It was resolved in the end and the lady did try her best to fix it, I should found it frustrating as I expected to have access to wifi throughout the stay. I didn’t enjoy spending the amount of time I did messing on with box trying to get it working. in addition I felt a few more supplies were needed in the cottage, washing up tablets, tea, coffee, spare batteries for the tv as I had to make extra trips out as these ran out or weren’t available during my stay. But besides the WiFi, the location and other facilities were lovely.

- Miss Livsey, August 2019

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear that you had a lovely time. If the instructions on the link box are followed for the WiFi there are no issues, we have clarified these instructions now so guests are aware. As this is a self catering cottage we do provide limited supplies for guests however there may not be enough for a weeks stay. Sykes owner relations

“The accommodation was outstanding in all ways.”

The comfort was second to none. We enjoyed the peace and tranquil environment which was made better by the log burner in the sitting room. All I can say is Thank you for making our stay so homely. Graham & Tinia Pennie

“Lovely cottage, excellent centre for visiting different areas, Lakes, Hadrians Wall, beautiful countryside all around.”

Great local pubs at Hallbankgate and Talkin. Will definitely go back.

- Mrs Adams, May 2018
“A lovely cottage with great view of sunset from the deck.”

Great walks nearby and a very relaxing quiet location. There is a train track for the little local trains and we found it more interesting than distracting when the "very occasional" little train trundled past. Quite quaint actually. The cottage and buildings are quite lovely and gardens well maintained. Frankly we will go again as it is a perfect base to tour the area. Highly recommend this little cottage. Thank again for the hospitality

- Mr Wood, May 2018
“Very cosy ,,easy to find ,, we would rather have had a washing machine than a dishwasher ( mucky clothes after walking ,wet hills ).”

“Fantastic cottage”

We stayed as a couple in the Stable Cottage in Milton near Brampton, Cumbria for 4 days 3 nights with small dog and use of the hot tub in February 2017. Its was clean, and well kept, very friendly owners, perfect location for Brampton and Carlisle. We had a wonderful time would definitely recommend.

“Beautiful well kept cottage, gorgeous views, lovely owner.”

The owner was very nice woman who was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us around, there was a bundle of leaflets for various attractions and take aways and she showed us how to work the log fire which is lovely but we found doesn't give off that much heat however the hearing was on all the time so we weren't cold. The kitchen is cosy and fully equipped, the bathroom is lovely and large, the bedroom is big but the only quibble was the fridge rattled a bit so took me a while to ignore that on the first night. The lounge is cosy but slightly old fashioned decor. The conservatory is lovely to have a meal in the evening with a gorgeous view. There is a Trainline very close to the house but I only heard it once in a 5 day stay. There is also an outdoor patio area to eat if the weather permits. The hot tub is massive and fits 8 people and easy to use but it's not very private and your sharing it with 2 other cottages adjoined to yours. It was lovely to go in though. The summer house is large and warm and has a large stack of DVDs and a small TV so you can sit in there and relax. There's also a cross trainer in there. I'd definitely come back here again and recommend it to others.

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.
