The Tower, Longtown, Cumbria - Sleeps 2

Longtown 4.7 miles. The Tower is a luxurious country retreat for up to two people, in the grounds of Kirklinton Hall in Cumbria - a beautiful, atmospheric, and partly ruined country house, dating back to the 17th century, all surrounded by 14 acres of formal gardens, woodland and meadows. As you turn through the gates of Kirklinton Hall, prepare to be transported to another world as the impressive remains of Kirklinton Hall come into full view.

The Tower created from part of the Hall’s peel tower, combines many original features with everyday comforts, with stone floors and underfloor heating throughout. Step indoors and be wowed by the quirky living space, with an open-plan kitchen and dining area and a cosy sitting room. A mezzanine floor has been added to accommodate the bedroom with lovely views over the old cobbled courtyard.

The kitchen is fully equipped, along with a dining table for relaxed evening meals. Alternatively, sink into the luxurious sofas and either soak up the silence or catch a film on the smart TV. A beautifully appointed bedroom is on offer, a king-size complete with luxurious bed linens and plenty of storage, whilst a sleek and elegant bathroom invites you to indulge in a long shower.

Outside you will have access to formal gardens and woodland surrounding the property. Relax in the total tranquillity of the gardens or take a woodland riverside walk, following the tumbling beck until it finally joins a curve of the River Lyne. If you can tear yourself away, you are just a few miles from the Scottish border, and ideally situated for exploring Hadrian’s Wall, the Lake District and Northumberland National Parks, and the Scottish Borders.

The Tower, Longtown - Property Amenities

Other things to note. Kirklinton Hall is a historic ruin undergoing a long term restoration programme, so there may be occasional restoration work taking place during your stay. We always do our best to keep any disruption to a minimum. The estate is also home to two other holiday cottages and the owners’ accommodation. Please note that our two Golden Retrievers have free roam of the estate. They are extremely friendly, very sociable and love saying hello to guests. If you are uncomfortable around dogs, or have allergies, this is something to bear in mind before booking.
