Nestled on a working farm, Drake’s Rest, Kirklinton is a beautifully converted, character-filled haven designed for couples seeking an idyllic and romantic escape. This charming retreat promises a tranquil sanctuary where you can truly disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with each other, offering a perfect setting for rejuvenation at any time of year.

Imagine waking up to picturesque views of the northern Lake District fells from your private garden, a serene backdrop for your romantic getaway. As evening descends, indulge in the ultimate relaxation by sinking into your private hot tub, gazing up at a canopy of twinkling stars – a truly magical experience.

The owners' meticulous attention to detail ensures a pampered and utterly relaxing stay, with every thoughtful amenity provided for your comfort. Inside, the cottage exudes a cosy ambiance with its open-plan living area. Sink into plush seating arranged around a Smart TV and a welcoming wood-burning stove, perfect for snuggling up together while enjoying a movie or simply basking in the warmth. The well-equipped kitchen, featuring an electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer compartment and microwave, invites you to create intimate meals to be savoured at the dining table, perhaps with a glass of wine as you plan your next day's adventures.

As night beckons, retreat to the inviting bedroom, offering lovely views of the fells (please note the bedroom is accessed by 2 steps). A comfortable double bed and a TV provide the perfect setting for leisurely mornings or relaxed evenings. The modern shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, offers a refreshing start to your day.

All gas, electric, bed linen and towels are provided. Private parking for two car ensures convenience, and a cot can be arranged upon request. One small well behaved dog is also welcome to share in your romantic escape. The garden area is a private oasis, featuring a patio with comfortable outdoor seating and the inviting hot tub, all set against the stunning backdrop of the northern Lake District fells.

Kirklinton’s prime location offers the best of both worlds: it's midway between the market towns of Longtown and Brampton, providing easy access to local amenities. The historic Border city of Carlisle, with its wealth of attractions, is just a short drive south. To the north, the romantic allure of the Scottish Borders and Gretna Green, famous for its anvil weddings, is within easy reach, as is the Gretna Gateway shopping outlet. For those craving adventure, the stunning Lake District, with its opportunities for watersports and fell walks, is just over an hour away. Beach days along the Solway Coast are also within an hour's drive, and the vibrant city of Newcastle, with its theatres and shopping centre, is easily accessible for a day trip, making this a perfect year-round destination.
