The property is lauded for its peaceful and beautiful countryside setting, though some guests note it is a bit remote, requiring driving to access lakes and other attractions.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, particularly praising the bed and the wood burning stove. A few guests, however, mention the settee being slightly small for two adults.
Facilities are generally well-received, with special mentions of the shower and wood burning stove. However, some guests note that the WiFi is only sufficient for basic use, which slightly impacts the score.

About this property
A charming, recently refurbished sandstone cottage set on a working dairy farm near the market town of Brampton in Cumbria. On the farm there are 20 acres of private ancient woodland, perfect for exploring, bird watching, photography and other activities. There is also 3/4 of a mile of river running through the farm, with associated fishing rights for your enjoyment. Step into the cottage and be welcomed into the delightful, cosy, living dining room, with exposed wooden beams and stone walls along with comfy seating, and a traditional woodburning stove; what better place to sit and relax? The original flagstone flooring takes you to the kitchen which has all the mod cons. However, you may find yourself eschewing the integrated dishwasher in order to watch the calves frolicking in the field whilst you wash up! The beautifully decorated king-size bedroom is cosy and restful, with double doors to the garden. Faraway cottage comes with an extensive private gravelled area, with table and chairs overlooking the open farmland, the perfect spot to enjoy the views, and appreciate the tranquillity. The cottage is in a fantastic secluded location. However, the nearby market town of Brampton is a short drive away, and offers great history as well as an array of cafes, pubs and independent shops for you to enjoy at your leisure. With spectacular scenery on the doorstep, the historic City of Carlisle only ten miles away, and the Lake District an easy drive, you are well placed for an interesting and varied holiday. The cottage offers a fantastic country escape, faraway from life's hustle and bustle.
Longtown is a town in Cumbria that runs alongside the River Esk. It is a base for a holiday as it comes in the centre of four different Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town itself offers shops, pubs and restaurants. There is some beautiful places nearby, offering more places to go and things to do. Brampton and Carlisle are nearby with beautiful buildings. As Longtown comes so close to Scotland, it would be rude not to visit, with the stunning town of Dumfries within easy driving distance.

Lovely quiet place to stay, everything you need for your stay is in the house and there is a couple of nice walks down to the river just out the back of the farm will try to be back some day thanks

Our brief stay was really enjoyable - it is a beautiful little cottage and we lacked for nothing. The view across the fields from the secluded back garden was oh so peaceful. I suspect we will be back.
