This stunning property, situated in the historic city of Carlisle just 1.5 miles from the castle, is perfect for you and your guests. Sleeping four across two peaceful bedrooms, this apartment is ideal for friends or two couples looking to explore the Scottish Borders, Cumbria and the Lake District. Spend the day in Gretna Green (13 miles) to see the wedding anvil and enjoy some outlet shopping before returning home for dinner, dining at the table in the open-plan living area in front of the window. The property, which is located on the second floor of a converted Victorian townhouse, is contemporary and comfortable. The open-plan living area features high ceilings and decor that offers a bright and airy feel during the day but transitions to cosy and inviting in the evenings; snuggle up on the sofa in front of the TV after a long day out exploring. Get ready for bed in the luxurious bathroom; take a sumptuous soak or a refreshing shower among stunning marble tiles. The bedrooms, a double and a king-size, both have gorgeous wood-panelled feature walls and peaceful tones to help you drift off to sleep. In the morning, cook up a hearty breakfast in the large, glossy kitchen to set you up for the day. Make sure you visit Alston, the town that claims to be the highest market settlement in England, and take a ride on the South Tynedale Railway. If it’s walks you’re after, you could take the route from the town to Epiacum Roman Fort, 3 miles from the centre. The charming Ullswater Steamers on the lake are well worth a ride; climb aboard at Pooley Bridge (25 miles) and stop at Aira Force (31.5 miles by road) for views of the waterfall and the Victorian arboretum.
