Set on a working farm, Burn Bungalow, Longtown offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside. Just 5 miles from the M6/M74 and 1 mile from the A7, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring Cumbria, the Lake District, and the Scottish Borders.

Recently refurbished, the bungalow is spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed to feel like a home away from home. Whether you're stopping over on a longer journey north or south, or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, it's an ideal base surrounded by beautiful rolling landscapes.

The enclosed garden is perfect for relaxing summer days and has a charcoal BBQ for guests to enjoy. For added convenience, a self-service continental breakfast can be provided, featuring locally sourced produce such as cereals, croissants, bread, orange juice, milk, coffee and eggs for a small additional charge.

The bungalow is kept warm and inviting with oil-fired central heating. Natural light fills the lounge through large windows that frame peaceful countryside views. Comfortable sofas are arranged around a Smart TV—perfect for relaxing evenings catching up on your favourite Netflix shows. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is fully equipped for preparing everything from quick breakfasts to hearty family meals. Amenities include an electric oven and hob, air fryer, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and a Nespresso coffee machine with milk frother. A separate utility room provides a washing machine and tumble dryer for added convenience. Enjoy your meals at the dining table or take your time over a morning coffee while planning the day ahead. As night falls, three well-appointed bedrooms ensure a restful night’s sleep. The master double features a modern en-suite with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. The twin and childs single bedroom is served by an adjacent shower room.

All oil, electric, bed linen, and towels are included. A cot and highchair are available. There is ample private parking (please note: due to the rural setting, a car is essential).
