1 Bedroom Cottage in Brampton

In a rural spot 2 miles from the peaceful village of Gilsland, this cosy retreat makes an ideal base for solo visitors or couples craving nature and a touch of adventure. Sweeping countryside and rolling hills surround the property, with direct access to footpaths and cycling trails leading you through the beautiful borderlands of Cumbria and Northumberland. Ancient Kielder Forest meets open farmland here, and you’re right beside one of Europe’s largest Dark Sky Parks. History lovers will enjoy walking sections of Hadrian’s Wall, which passes through Gilsland. For relaxed afternoons out, the market towns of Haltwhistle (7.5 miles) and Brampton (10.5 miles) are great for a potter – visit independent shops and take pretty moorland and woodland walks before heading for a spot of lunch in a café. Step inside to find a welcoming open-plan living space with a vaulted ceiling, wooden beams and exposed stone walls adding character. The sleek kitchen is well laid out for easy holiday cooking, with a breakfast bar where you can sit for morning coffees and meals together. Wooden furniture and gentle decorative touches contribute to a traditional look and feel. After a day outdoors, settle into the cosy lounge area, which has comfy seating and a Smart TV. The comfortable double bedroom has everything you need for a peaceful night’s sleep, while the modern shower room is finished in a clean, contemporary style. Outside, make the most of the fresh country air on the front patio, where you can sip a glass of wine as the sun sets over rolling fields and woodland beyond. The cottage forms part of a complex of four properties, creating a calm and friendly rural setting. This property can be booked alongside Two Hoots Cottage to sleep an additional 4 guests, House Martin to sleep an additional 2 guests, or Forest and Field Cottage to sleep an additional 5 guests.
