Dog friendly The Courtyard, Longtown, Cumbria - Sleeps 4

Longtown 4.7 miles. The Courtyard is a luxurious country retreat for up to four people, in the grounds of Kirklinton Hall - 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 Courtyard created from the Hall’s carriage house, combines many original features with everyday comforts, with stone floors and underfloor heating throughout. Step indoors and be wowed by the open-plan living space, with exposed stonework, original beams and a woodburning stove. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a large breakfast island, along with a dining table to gather around for relaxed evening meals.

Alternatively, sink into the luxurious sofas and either soak up the silence or catch a film on the smart TV. Two beautifully appointed and spacious bedrooms are on offer, a king-size and a twin (zip/link), both complete with luxurious bed linens and plenty of storage, whilst a sleek and elegant bathroom invites you to indulge in a long soak or a refreshing 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.

For an unforgettable stay in a very special property book your next escape at The Courtyard. 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.
