Bruno’s Bothy is detached and set in a peaceful location on a working farm in the heart of beautiful Cumbria.
Renovated to an exacting standard and beautifully decorated with beamed high ceilings, wood burner, a delightful sun room overlooking the garden, not to mention the hot tub - you just might not want to venture further afield. If you can tear yourself away, Cumbria and the Lake District National Park is one of the most beautiful regions in the UK. The area has something to offer all visitors, from those seeking adventure, to those seeking peace and quiet. Not only is the Lake District National Park a short drive away, but from here it’s also easy to explore the great border city of Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and Scotland. Shop 4 miles, pub with restaurant 100 yards.

The cottage was excellent, in that everything that you could possibly want was there. It was warm, and comfortable, even on wet days.Being beside a very good pub, was a bonus too.Down side for us was that dog walks were not nearby, but attractive towns were within a short drive in all directions.

Bruno's Bothy is an absolute gem of a holiday cottage. Every little detail has been thought out and presented beautifully. The hooks by the hot tub for the dressing gowns (and the fact that dressing gowns were provided) was a particularly nice touch.The home feels private, spacious and had a garden that was filled with birds.We had the most wonderful stay.
