About this property
A charming barn conversion on the owners working farm in the rural hamlet of Milton, just two miles from the bustling town of Brampton.
Dove Cottage is the ideal destination for a couple wishing to spend some peaceful time together in the countryside. The cottage is all on the ground floor and has been furnished throughout with comfort in mind. The bedroom features quality bed linen and a comfortable bed with the next door bathroom having floor to ceiling tiles and a welcoming bath. The open plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen and dining table with plump sofas and a woodburner, making it nice and cosy to relax in front of at the end of the day. French doors lead out to the enclosed garden, which is perfect for letting doggies out to stretch their legs, whilst enjoying some alfresco dining yourselves. With plenty to see and do from the doorstep and some lovely countryside, you could end up being spoilt for choice. Experience some local history and discover the Roman ruins at Birdoswald, Vindolanda and Housesteads or alternatively visit Thirlwall Castle for a day out. For the more adventurous, why not take a trip to Talkin Tarn Country Park, for watersports such as canoeing and open water swimming as well as plenty of walking through the mature woodlands? A little further afield are the stunning Northern Lakes, Eden Valley and the rugged Scottish Borders, all just waiting to be explored.

The small rural village of Milton is ideally placed for exploring northern Cumbria, including not-to-be-missed Hadrian's Wall, and the dramatic northern Lake District National Park.

We had taken our dog with us and the enclosed garden was a treat. Some beautiful woodland walks, just two minutes away. On arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to our cottage which had gorgeous views. As we had arrived in the middle of lambing season our hosts were obviously up at all hours but still had time for a chat and invited us to see the lambs.

! as it was tired looking wasnât that clean and in need of maintenance/repairs. It had a very grubby rug in front of fire in the small sitting area which smelt, patio door lock not working (bolts fitted instead) curtain tie backs hanging from badly repaired holes, plates and mugs chipped, shower screen and shower hose dirty, electric cable hanging approx foot off ground on patio (isnât this illegal?) no vacuum supplied and whilst a washing machine is no clothes airer supplied which with electric storage heaters makes it difficult to dry any washing! Photoâs were taken if required for viewing. Very disappointing and not what we expect or experienced from this Sykes rating so would NOT recommend.
