Sky Cottage West Highberries

An exceptional, rural hideaway, this enticing getaway nestles in beautiful Cumbrian countryside. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat enjoys a peaceful setting, 6 miles from Longtown and 5 miles from Brampton.

It is in an ideal location for visiting Hadrian’s Wall (Banks East Turret) and striking out along the footpath beside the historic landmark. Discover other picturesque places to walk, such as Gelt Woods, 11 miles away, and Talkin Tarn Country Park, 10 miles away, where you can also take to the water on your own canoe or paddle board.

Head into Brampton or venture into bustling Carlisle, 8 miles away, to shop or dine out. Travel 8 miles to Gretna Green, into Scotland, with its shops, eateries and marriage-themed activities.

Pack a picnic and drive 15 miles to the fringes of the North Pennines or 21 miles to the scenic Lake District. Step inside this luxurious, charm-laden cottage.

From the entrance hall, where you will find the convenient ground-floor WC and laundry area, head on through to discover high-quality accommodation that blends original and contemporary features beautifully. Emerge in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where rustic, exposed stone and timberwork add a sense of history and warmth.

Take a seat on the sumptuous sofa to flick through the channels on the Smart TV. Stoke up the wood burner in here on autumn and winter evenings or open the patio doors to the garden in the warmer months.

The generous kitchen/diner area also has an elegant country appeal. Here you can prepare the fresh Cumbrian produce you have bought in town, then sit down to dine in style.

When you are ready to close your eyes for the night, make your way up to the first floor of the cottage, where you will find your impressive bedrooms, both with chic en-suite shower rooms, plenty of storage, and Smart TVs. There is a king-size and a super-king-size room to choose from, each with a beautiful view.
