Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers unanimously commend the property for its spotless condition, highlighting the cleanliness as a significant factor in their enjoyable stay.

The property is appreciated for its peaceful and private setting, conducive to relaxation and inspiration. However, one mention of it being a distance from local amenities slightly impacts the perfect score.

Guests rave about the comfortable beds, underfloor heating, and cosy atmosphere, indicating a high level of comfort throughout their stay.

The property boasts high-spec facilities, well-equipped kitchens, and beautiful grounds. A single query about heating suggests all facilities are well-maintained, but not without occasional questions.

Many guests mention a welcome pack and responsive hosts, reflecting a thoughtful approach to hospitality. While gifts are warmly received, they are a gracious bonus and not a guaranteed amenity.

About this property

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. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1102745 and 1129282, together sleeping up to eight guests.

Kirklinton Hall is also a wedding venue, but no weddings will take place when the cottages are booked for holiday breaks.

A delightful, well-stocked town in northern Cumbria that runs alongside the River Esk. Longtown is a fantastic base for a holiday as it comes in the centre of four Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Solway Coast aonb, the Northumberland National Park, North Pennines aonb and the Lake District National Park.The local area offers a pleasant range of shops, pubs and restaurants for you to choose from. There are some beautiful places nearby, offering even more places to go and things to do. Brampton and Carlisle are nearby with beautiful buildings. As Longtown is so close to Scotland, it would be rude not to visit Dumfries and Galloway. Edinburgh and Glasgow are just over an hours drive away.

    Beautiful property finished to a very high standard. The owners (and their dog!) were very friendly. A very quiet and peaceful location perfectly placed for exploring the local area. I'd highly recommend this property.

  • Peter

    It’s really relaxing, has fantastic fixtures and furnishings with underfloor heating and genuinely has everything you need for a lovely break :-) Will definitely come back :-)

  • Chris

    Peace and tranquility. Spotless accommodation. Very comfortable beds and surroundings, which were spacious and yet cosy. The hosts could not have been better, being very friendly and professional. The private grounds were a major asset especially with being dog owners. There was an unexpected welcome pack of tasty treats. The immediate location is superb. The strategic location is superb being between 4 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We found that we could do as little or as much as we wished. We will definitely be looking to return at the earliest opportunity. Chris and Karen Frost
