Dove Cottage is a snug 3-star retreat on a working farm in Milton, right near the Northumberland-Cumbria border. This single-level cottage sits in the foothills of the North Pennines. Perfect for couples who want countryside without isolation - Brampton's just 2 miles away with shops and cafes, while Carlisle is only 10 miles off.
The area is brilliant for walkers. Wild fells and knockout views surround you in every direction. Hadrian's Wall is about 8 miles away - worth the trip even if history isn't usually your thing. And after a day tramping the hills, you'll appreciate that hot tub even more.
The cottage itself is all on one level with an open-plan living space.
