Hadrian's Wall and Lake District Holiday Cottage

We are Alan and Shirley Jones and have lived in the Brampton area all our lives. In 2022 we started our small independent business and have successfully managed, maintained and cleaned the cottage ourselves ever since.

All bookings are initially provisional with no payment required for 48 hours. A 15% deposit is only required to hold your booking, with full payment due 6 weeks before your stay. You can book securely online through our website or over the phone if preferred.

No. Unlike large agencies, when you book direct through this website you do not pay any extra fees or commission. The price you see is the price you pay. You will be asked for a £100 refundable security/breakage deposit, which is standard practice and clearly shown before you submit your provisional booking. We aim to refund your security deposit within 7 days after your holiday.

Payments are taken securely online via Stripe, a leading payment provider, or over the phone if preferred. We use Bookalet, a professional booking platform, so you can clearly see availability and prices with no hidden charges.
