1 Bed in Gilsland (oc-h32687)

Tucked away on the edge of the peaceful village of Gilsland, this stone-built barn conversion is perfect for couples looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. Surrounded by sweeping countryside and rolling hills, there’s direct access to scenic footpaths and cycling trails for exploring the stunning borderlands of Cumbria and Northumberland. The property sits where the ancient trees of Kielder Forest meet open countryside, placing you right on the edge of one of Europe’s largest Dark Sky Parks for stargazing nights. By day, follow the historic route of Hadrian’s Wall, which passes right through Gilsland, 2 miles away. For a change of pace, head to the nearby market towns of Brampton (10.5 miles) or Haltwhistle (7.5 miles) – the very centre of Britain. Both towns boast tempting cafes and independent shops, plus access to more rural trails through fields, woodlands and moorlands. For a day by the sea you can head to Whitley Bay or Blyth Beach, both within 57 miles.


Step inside this countryside home and into the bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner area with exposed beams adding character and warmth. The lounge invites you to sink into the comfortable sofa and catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV, while the sleek, well-equipped kitchen makes mealtimes a pleasure, complete with a handy breakfast bar for relaxed morning coffees or casual dining. The property offers a cosy double bedroom with an en-suite shower room for added convenience.


Outside, the open front patio is a wonderful spot to soak up the fresh country air, from morning coffee at sunrise to a peaceful glass of wine at sunset. Enjoy al fresco dining while taking in sweeping views of rolling fields and wild forest beyond. There’s private parking for two cars. Please note that this property is part of a barn conversion comprising of 4 cottages, so dogs must be kept on a lead once outside the cottage.


This property can be booked alongside Two Hoots Cottage to sleep an additional 4 guests, Deer View Cottage to sleep an additional 2 guests, or Forest and Field Cottage to sleep an additional 5 guests.
