Carrock House is a fabulous converted stone cottage. It offers incredible panoramic countryside vistas and luxuries such as a hot tub where you can soak and appreciate the Eden Valley in all its glory. With three luxury, sumptuous bedrooms, this delightful holiday home sleeps up to six guests together with two furry friends.
Within easy reach of Carlisle, Carrock House is nestled between Brampton and Haltwhistle, close to Hadrian’s Wall and overlooking Castle Carrock Reservoir. This is countryside living and England’s last wilderness at its best.
The smart restored exterior brickwork of this charming cottage hints at the immaculate, comfortable design within. The soft greys and warm pine of the modern kitchen, the warm wooden floor of the dining area and the muted wall tones all make this a lovely, welcoming home. You will immediately feel at home. You can sink back into the plush leather sofas, gazing at the extraordinary vistas in front of you. Bi-fold doors open fully to enjoy the countryside scenery and allow you to soak in the hot tub. How to choose? Hot tub with views or black leather sofa with views? Your wonderful glass enclosed terrace is perfectly placed and brilliant for alfresco dining with a view.
The chef within your party will enjoy cooking in this modern kitchen with its range cooker and plentiful worksurface. Everything is so smart! The dining area is lovely and flows beautifully through to the lounge with its atmospheric wood-burning stove. Interesting art decorates the walls.
Carrock House boasts three superb bedrooms on the first floor. The master bedroom has a super king-size bed and is decorated with gold and honey tones, so warming. It offers an en-suite shower room and the remaining two delightful bedrooms share the immaculate family bathroom. Another of the bedrooms enjoys a king-size bed and the final room has zip and link beds that can either be set up as a super king or as twins. This cottage is extremely comfortable.
Sitting in the beautiful Eden Valley, Carrock House is a hidden gem and perfect for walking, mountain biking and horse riding fans. The stunning views are extraordinary and brilliant to wake up to.
Hadrian’s Wall was built to guard the world northern frontier of the Roman Empire in AD122, sprawling almost 80 miles from the North Sea to the Irish Sea. The building of the wall required vision and an outstanding level of engineering skill. Set amongst the wild beauty of the Cumbrian and Northumbrian landscapes, it remains ever popular for hiking. Carrock House boasts the perfect location to enjoy some of it, especially as the section near Haltwhistle is almost intact.
Nearby Haltwhistle is an attractive market town with stone-built houses. It is one of two settlements in Great Britain which claim to be in the exact geographic centre of the country. This Northumberland town is home to woodland, quirky independent shops and a variety of restaurants. It is also home to Northumberland’s only open air swimming pool. Skirted by the Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines range, Haltwhistle is ideal for activity and family holidays, walking, cycling, fishing and climbing. It is very close to where the North and South Tynes meet with pretty villages sprinkled along both river valleys. There are more than 20 excellent walks in and around Haltwhistle and the surrounding area. The Roman Army museums of Vindolanda, Housesteads, Chesters, Birdoswald and Caroran are all nearby. The Haltwhistle Walking Festival is held twice a year, in the spring and autumn with week-long programmes of walks.
There are dozens of outstanding cycle trails nearby, whatever your ability or passion. Four of the most famous cycle routes in the country run through Northumberland, Hadrian’s Cycleway, The Coast and Castles, Pennine Cycleway and the Sea to Sea (C2C).
The National Trust’s Bellister Castle is close by. It is a Grade I listed building that stands on a mound. Although it is not open to the public, the castle can be viewed from public footpaths that run through the adjoining woods.
Golf fans will appreciate the excellent club just down the road and watersports lovers can canoe, sail or fish on the reservoir. This cottage is definitely for those that love the outdoors!
