About this property

Nestled in the pretty location of Hallbankgate in Cumbria on the outskirts of the North Pennines AONB, discover this lovely two-bedroom cottage, Stable Cottage. Recently completed Barn Conversion with generous on site parking for two vehicles at the front of the property. There are beautiful views of the Pennine Hills from both bedroom windows. Boasting a well-equipped kitchen, enclosed garden and off-road parking, Stable Cottage welcomes four guests to relish the ultimate escape to Cumbria. After unloading your personal belongings, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, ready to kick back and relax in the homely sitting room as the electric flame-effect stove roars away next to you; allow the designated chef to cook up a storm utilising a range of high-quality appliances before settling down at the dining table to tuck in! If you prefer to dine alfresco, why not step out into the enclosed garden where you can savour a feast as the sun sets in the distance. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to the sleek family shower room to wash away the day and complete your evening routine before choosing from a double or twin bedroom to catch your rest. In the morning, kickstart your itinerary at the Talkin Tarn Country Park, an idyllic location where you can relish a picnic, soak in the views or try your hand at a range of watersports. Close by is also Brampton Golf Club where you can perfect your swing before treating your loved ones to some hearty fare in the centre of Brampton at The Nags Head Hotel or Howard Arms Hotel. Venture into the picturesque surroundings of the North Pennines AONB to enjoy the South Tynedale Railway, Epiacum Roman Fort or to test out several walking, hiking and cycling opportunities or journey further afield to Carlisle to tour the grand 12th -century castle. However you choose to while away the days in Cumbria, do it from the delightful base of Stable Cottage.

The charming village of Hallbankgate is located on the northern border of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Hallbankgate, once a community of coal and lead miners and the location of the illustrious Lord Carlisle's railway, is today a charming vacation spot ensconced in Cumbria's natural beauty, with remarkable limestone quarries laying on its southern end. The Belted Will, a quaint, 17th-century bar named after Lord William Howard of Naworth Castle, is well-liked by the townspeople and is known for its excellent food and helpful service. Additionally, Hallbankgate is home to a convenient grocery where vacationers may stock up on all of their needs. The community backs up to the rspb Geltsdale nature reserve, where hikers and cyclists can roam at their leisure while observing Cumbrian wildlife. Even closer to the hamlet is the well-liked fishing and picnic area of Talkin Tarn Country Park. Before going on to the remnants of Hadrian's Wall, travel farther afield to Lanercost, where history buffs will be happy to find the spectacular ruins of the once-famous Lanercost Priory. Visitors have plenty of options for days out loaded with activities and culture thanks to the accessibility of Brampton and Carlisle. The North Pennines aonb offers additional opportunities for outdoor recreation, and nature lovers can also visit the Lake District National Park for a variety of lakeside activities including watersports.

    It is very well equipped and Eddie is nearby if you need anything. The welcome pack of bread, fruit, cake and chocolate biscuits was a nice touch. Also the Smart TV with Netflix included. Everything is clean and new and I enjoyed relaxing at Stable Cottage after each day walking the Hadrian’s Wall Path. Hope to make a return visit.

    Well placed to explore the surrounding area, with the nearby market town of Brampton full of amenities. The Stable had everything you could need. Low ceiling height upstairs may be an issue if you are 6ft tall!!! Eddie the owner greeted us on arrival and came to check we were warm enough,following a cold snap. Highly recommend The Stable as a holiday home.

    The cottage has everything you could need and is very cosy in every way. Fruit cake, milk, biscuits and a huge bowl of fruit greeted us on arrival. Eddie is a very friendly and helpful caretaker and is just 15metres away if needed. Hallbankgate is a beautiful village with a community cafe and nice pub a very short walk away. The outlook from the cottage is striking with the massive north Pennine hills a few minutes away. I would not hesitate to stay at the cottage again and strongly recommend it.
