Guests say

Stanley Barn is highly praised for its cosy, well-presented interiors and beautiful location. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches, including a welcome hamper. The property is dog-friendly, with a pooch parlour and secure outdoor spaces. It's ideal for exploring Hadrian's Wall and the surrounding countryside.

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'well presented', 'very clean', and 'spotless'. One minor issue was reported but promptly addressed, maintaining the high standard.

The location is frequently highlighted for its beauty and proximity to local attractions like Hadrian's Wall. It's described as peaceful and perfect for both relaxation and exploration.

Reviews often mention the comfort of the cottage, with comfortable beds and furnishings. One negative comment about bed comfort was noted, but this appears to be an isolated view.

Facilities are highly regarded, with special mentions of the welcome hamper, dog facilities, and well-maintained garden. A suggestion for improvement in one bedroom was made, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs excellently.

The thoughtfulness of the host is evident in the welcome hamper and personal touches. While these are greatly appreciated, it's important to note that such gestures, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Brampton 3.9 miles. Perfectly positioned amidst the Cumbrian countryside and nestled between the Scottish borders and the North Pennines AONB is Stanley Barn, a beautifully appointed conversion on the outskirts of Brampton. With its tranquil rural setting and a boutique interior design, Stanley Barn is a rare find for families or groups of six to call home as they enjoy the delights of Cumbria and beyond. Enter into the striking stone-built barn and be welcomed into the kitchen/diner, where the modern kitchen suite, containing all the modern touches and integrated appliances one would expect balances the traditional features of the period property. Adjoining the kitchen space is the dining table, surrounded by a quaint décor, which is complemented by the electric fire, sitting within a stone-built reveal; the focal point of this room. Slip through the door to discover the sitting room, styled with a seamless blend of contemporary and charm, with the plush L-shape sofa inviting you in to tune into the TV or bask in the sunshine beaming in through the large patio doors, with the feature stone windows echoing the property's past. Concluding the ground floor is the elegantly appointed double bedroom, boating refreshing hues of yellow and quality linens to ensure that sleep comes easy at the end of a bracing day. The master bedroom can be found on the first floor, where exposed beams frame the plush double bed, piled with gorgeous cushions and the archway provides access to the en-suite, where Victorian-style tiling lies beneath an elegant roll-top bath and a spacious walk-in shower. The third and final bedroom is made up of two single beds, good storage space and the beams again highlight the history of this magnificent property. At Stanley Barn, the garden has been designed to be an extension of the house itself, where you can look forward to spending sunny afternoons on the large stone paved terrace outside the sitting room, as you savour the sunshine from the outdoor furniture and your canine companions roam the large lawn area freely! If you can tear yourself away from this rural oasis, venture into the nearby market town of Brampton, where you will find a plethora of shops to explore, as well as pubs and tearooms to enjoy meals after a bracing day of the exploring the surrounding area. Talkin Tarn Country Park is also nearby, where you and your loved ones can look forward to discovering the 65-acre lake set amid 120-acres of farmland and woodland or you could visit Gelt Woods for more gentle walking opportunities with a RSPB nature reserve to also enjoy. Of course, Hadrian’s Wall is not to be missed whilst here, walk along this historic landmark and discover an array of ruins scattered along the way including turrets, castles and forts. Other attractions include visiting the Solway Aviation Museum, the Walby Farm Park, The Cricket club which has a bar and the Lanercost Priory & Tea Rooms, offering something for all ages and tastes. More outdoor adventure can be found slightly further afield in the scenic North Pennines AONB, where you can take on the challenge of climbing the peaks of Cold Fell, Great Blacklaw Hill, Pike Rigg and Black Fell, alternatively, you could head in the other direction to visit Gretna Green in Scotland for a unique day out. With all of this to enjoy and much more, secure your stay at Stanley Barn for a fun-filled holiday.

Brampton is a small market town within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria. The town is close to the historical landmark of Hadrian’s Wall and the town itself plays host to a varied history dating back to the Roman occupation.

    Good facilities, and lovely welcome pack.

  • Claire

    View from the lounge was wonderful. Beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed and was well stocked with all little extras such as soap and toilet roll etc. lovely to have a welcome bottle of Prosecco and box of chocolates! The only thing was the garden wasn’t enclosed as stated. We luckily found a metal gate in the shed that we could use on the steps to stop our small dog escaping. The field was lovely but again not enclosed for a small dog as the fences had large gaps he could fit through. We were able to manage this by keeping our dog on a long lead. But overall a wonderful stay. Thank you.

    We absolutely loved it here and so did our dog on her first break away. Lovely and clean, beautiful furnishings and decor. Thank you for the little touches of the toiletries and prosecco and biscuits. We would highly recommend and stay here again
