STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
Tottergill has 10 luxury cottages which can sleep up to eight people. Each property is beautifully styled and has a wood-burning stove and private gardens, while most have a hot tub. The cottages are set on a 46-acre farm and provide an idyllic place for a break. The cottages also have kitchens which sport everything you need to feel right at home.
SLEEPING MATTERS
The bedrooms are spacious with ensuites. For cottages with hot tubs there are robes and slippers, too, for guests.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
One mile away, the Duke of Cumberland pub serves delicious meals in a friendly atmosphere. Brampton, four miles away, has a bit more to offer. The Howard Arms Hotel is pet-friendly and meals are reasonably priced. There are also a few takeaway shops in the town.
DRINK IN THE SIGHTS
The Duke of Cumberland is a short stroll away, though it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Brampton has several pubs.
NICE TOUCH
On arrival we were welcomed with homemade cake and fresh flowers. For walkers, each cottage has laminated guides of the best walks in the area. Guests also have the use of a private pool in Brampton plus use of the local leisure club. And for those who just want to cosy up in front of
the wood burning stove there are board games and books.
ABOUT THE AREA
The cottages are in the village of Castle Carrock, 11 miles from Carlisle and a 30-minute drive from the edge of the Lake District. Hadrian’s Wall is also nearby.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
