This is a very special place for a romantic escape, where you can enjoy fantastic walking and hiking routes from the property explore Gelt Woods which is an ancient woodland or enjoy a trip to Talkin Tarn Country Park for water sports such as canoeing and wild swimming (both within 8 miles).

You are just 4.5 miles from the picturesque market town of Brampton, within 20 miles of the Lake District National Park and only 12 miles from the world famous Gretna Green on the Scottish border. The local area also has some lovely country pubs serving great food.

The breakfast bar offers a great place to enjoy a coffee while chatting with the designated chef.
