Set in a beautiful rural location on the edge of the peaceful village of Gilsland, this charming cottage provides a perfect retreat for couples and families seeking a break from everyday life. Surrounded by stunning countryside, the area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with numerous walking and cycling routes starting right from the doorstep. Gilsland lies along Hadrian’s Wall on the Cumbria–Northumberland border and, just 2 miles away, offers delightful local walks through striking scenery. The nearby market town of Brampton, 10.5 miles away, is home to an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, and eateries, with scenic footpaths and bridleways extending into woodland, farmland, and open moorland. Haltwhistle, known as the geographical centre of Britain, is also easily reached within 7.5 miles.

Step inside and discover a beautifully presented open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, where striking exposed beams showcase the cottage’s heritage while contemporary furnishings create a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, perfect for preparing delicious meals using locally sourced produce, while the comfortable lounge area, complete with a Smart TV, invites you to unwind after long days spent exploring the countryside. The cottage offers three restful bedrooms to choose from. On the ground floor, a handy twin bedroom sits alongside a modern shower room. Upstairs, you’ll find a welcoming double bedroom, a cosy single bedroom, and a second stylish shower room.

Outside, the open front patio is a peaceful haven. It’s ideal for leisurely al fresco dining or relaxing with a morning coffee or evening drink while enjoying sweeping views over the surrounding countryside and the wild forest beyond.

Very comfortable, cosy cottage, supplied with everything you could possibly need or want. Very tranquil, fantastic dawn chorus. And so close to Hadrians wall for walks and sightseeing. Highly recommend staying, the owners live next to the cottage and are always on hand for help and guidance. Delicious welcome pack too!!
