Brampton Garden

Brampton is a working market town with a railway station on its doorstep, pubs and cafés within walking distance, and Talkin Tarn just a short drive away for walks and water sports. From here you can reach Carlisle, Newcastle or the Scottish Borders without fighting Lake District traffic, or simply explore rural Cumberland on foot. The town itself has the everyday shops and restaurants you need, plus the kind of local pubs that serve proper food.

Brampton Garden is a modern semi-detached house with two bedrooms—a king and a twin—and a bathroom with shower. The lounge has an electric fire and Smart TV; the kitchen is equipped for self-catering; the conservatory overlooks the enclosed garden, which is safely fenced for children to play in. Bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi are included. One dog is welcome. You have private parking for two cars.

This suits couples or families who want to base themselves somewhere quieter than the Lake District honeypots but still within reach of proper days out. The enclosed garden works well if you're travelling with young children, and the railway station means you can leave the car behind if you choose.
