  • "Incredible place to stay, the Shepard's pie was delicious."

    Friendly people and amazing views

  • "Great facility to get away for a few days."

    Maintenance: Only thing I would suggest sorting out is adding some clear or white silicone sealant to the back of the sink to prevent water damage to the back of the cupboard. Suggestion: One additional toilet roll might be worth adding in the storage cupboard especially as Sunday was a "no go" day with the high winds and rain plus that unexpected "time of month". Travel: There were no shops nearby to get those essential supplies baring in mind we did not have transport. It took an hour and fifty minutes to walk to the BP station on A69, the first day, and one hour to Hayton village on our way home where there may have been some essentials on offer. It was closed on the Monday so we didnt find out. By car, a doddle so don't be put off. For information: the route to Hayton takes you to the A69 and a bus stop to get to Brampton or Carlisle via the 635 bus. This is closer than to the BP garage where the Spar is. Hot tub a must. With dressing gowns and slippers provided, an evening outside is even more relaxing. Unless you have transport, this holiday is for the keen walker. We related to both. Owners were exceptionally helpful and provided some excellent help and advice. Thank you Claire. I rarely return to places as I love travelling but I would return here. It is slightly on the pricey side but with the place to yourself in the middle of nowhere it's worth it. Overall a very cosy place with great outlook. Well equipped for such a small space but used effectively there is plenty of space.

  • "This is truly a little gem, not only from the delights of the surroundings, the shepherds hut was just perfect every little detail well thought off, I worried before arrival about the size as some I have stayed in that look big on the pictures but are quite small, but this was one of the larger huts we've stayed in, the jacuzzi was very private, never seen any other guests."

    a lovely gesture of delicious shepherds pie and a bottle of fizz which was a lovely welcome gift, I would highly recommend, and we are already planning our next trip back. If I could make one small change and it would be small, may I suggest removing the customer signs and the be replaced with guest.

  • "We were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived, he was very kind and already had the hot tub ready for us!"

    The lodge was very cosy and clean, the lighting of the lodge made it very warm and romantic, with fairy lights both inside and outside. There were shepherd's pies already waiting for us in the fridge with a bottle of sparkling; we've never tasted shepherd's pie as good as them! There is also a very nice pub less than 10 mins walk away. Overall, a very pleasant stay, and highly recommend to anyone, especially couples who want a cosy getaway!

  • "Really lovely stay."

    Peaceful and relaxing location/plot. Close to local pubs which were very welcoming to us and our dog! The fence surrounding the hut had wide gaps and with sheep being nearby there was a slight concern the dog might get into mischief - we brought a dog gate which fitted perfectly so problem solved! I think considering the pricepoint some charcoal for the bbq could have come for free rather than additional cost on arrival and some local recommendations may have come in handy from the hosts - we bumped into some locals who happily obliged us though so no worries there!

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

    The views and the grounds were well kept and all you can hear is the bird song and sheep. The bed was so comfortable with beautiful linen. The hot tub was amazing with all the fairy lights and under cover. The garden needs a gate to stop your dog getting out on the driveway. Sitting on the raised balcony eating our complimentary shepherds pie and sipping our pisecco what more do you need. Would recommend to everyone,well worth the money.we will be back. Our golden retriever slept like a log and so did we. The owners were friendly and there if you needed anything. Sunrise is a credit to them.

  • "The property was great."

    Lovely, clean and comfortable place to relax. The only reason we wouldn’t score 10 would be that the fence allowed the dog to potentially get through to the sheep, so he couldn’t roam free without worrying. Also, the bathroom was on the small side for a 6ft 3 man.

    First of all the place is just so beautiful it really makes you appreciate life and the world we live in. It's idyllic, the wildlife is amazing. Upon arrival we had prossecco in the fridge along with the most delicious shepards pie you would have ever tasted. The huts are just perfect kitted out with everything you need, the hot tub had lights and 2 jet settings, on a night time there was lights all around the hut it was so romantic. Hats off to the owners you have created a wonderful escape for those who need to slow down, take a breather and rejuvenate. We can not wait to return!

    Brilliant clean facilities with everything you need. The autumnal weather and rain didn’t matter as the hot tub was undercover and the radiator keeps the hut really warm. There was a log fire too but we didn’t need it. Bed was really comfy too. The perfect get away for that rural feel with a gorgeous view of the pond. If you do venture out there’s a great pub down the road with amazing food too. The shepherds pie and bottle of fizz in the fridge was an added bonus. Be prepared that there is no internet or service there so you really get that “off grid” feel. We will definitely be back!

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.
