About this property
Longtown 4.7 miles. The Pavilion is a unique and luxurious country retreat in the grounds of Kirklinton Hall - a beautiful, atmospheric, and partly ruined country house, dating back to the 17th century, surrounded by 14 acres of formal gardens, woodland and meadows. Just a few miles from the Scottish Border, between the historic market towns of Longtown and Brampton, it is ideally situated for exploring Hadrian’s Wall, the Lake District and Northumberland National Parks, and the Scottish Borders. As you turn through the gates of Kirklinton Hall prepare to be transported to another world. The Pavilion, a two-story residence, is part of the original House, and combines many original and traditional features with the comforts of modern living. Step inside and find yourself in an elegant, well-appointed home. The living/dining room features panelled walls, a traditional stone fireplace and wood burning stove. Stretch out on the luxurious corner sofa and either soak up the silence or catch a film on the smart TV. Rustling up a delicious meal is no problem in the well-equipped kitchen. Alternatively, if you want to eat out you will find some great local pubs and restaurants, including a Michelin star a few miles up the road. The beautiful bedroom is found at the top of the original stone staircase. A romantic French style king-sized bed is complimented by a high-quality mattress and pillows, and luxurious bed linen. 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. For the ultimate romantic escape to Cumbria, you need look no further than The Pavilion. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1129281 and 1129282, together sleeping up to eight guests.
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.

The location was completely unique and every detail had been thought through. Even things like the history of the house (written really well) had been provided in the binder. Everything was pristinely clean and organised and conveniently located. In terms of aesthetics I felt it was completely appropriate and beautifully appointed and I grew up in an historic house with parents who were big geeks about such things. Getting period detail right and allowing the historic features of the place to ring out while also providing discreet modern comforts (beautifully warm for instance) is so unusual and this place nailed it. No complaints at all and will be recommending to anyone interested exploring that part of the country.

It was better than we expected, and was exactly what we needed. We definitely recommend the Pavillion, and would for sure stay again.

Kirklinton is set in beautiful grounds which you can roam around in freely, the ruins of the old buildings are enchanting you feel like you're in your own fairytale. Our accommodation the Pavillion was welcoming and had everything we needed for our very comfortable stay. Our host Jess was lovely she made us feel very welcome. We wouldn't hesitate to book again maybe in a few years when the renovations of the old hall are underway. Kirklinton is centrally located for Carlisle and lots of lovely villages with lots of history.
