The Milking Parlour Brompton

The Milking Parlour is in Brompton, North Yorkshire. It's a two bedroom barn conversion, sleeps four. There's one bathroom. We're rated 3 Star, so it's comfortable and clean, not posh.

It's an old building, so it's got character. The ceilings are quite low in the living area, tall people need to watch their heads. The layout is open plan, kitchen and living room together. There's a wood burning stove. We'll have logs for you to use.

The property's behind our main house, but it's private. You get your own little sitting area outside. You also share a hot tub with the two neighbouring cottages.

You can bring one dog. There's parking on site. There's a washing machine. Bedding and towels are all included.

Brompton is a village. There's a local shop and a pub about a mile away in Alston. Alston itself is a proper little market town. It has cobbled streets and tea rooms. The Pennine Way footpath runs right past the property, so you can start walking from the door.

Within about half an hour's drive, you've got the North Pennines. For Roman stuff, there's Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall. Barnard Castle is worth a trip. If you fancy going further, the edge of the Lake District, Newcastle, and Durham are all about an hour away.

If you're looking for more information on walks or days out, the North Pennines AONB and National Trust Yorkshire websites are good.
