Longtown Cottages

Longtown nestles on the banks of the River Esk, close to the English/Scottish Border.  Just 3 miles from Gretna with an outlet village, pubs and takeaways, and 6 miles from the border city of Carlisle with shops, bars, restaurants and attractions for all ages and interests.

Historians will love the historic sites within a short drive including the World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall, Carlisle Castle, Lanercost Priory and Gretna Green where couples still flock to be married over the anvil.

Surrounded by rolling countryside, riverside walks and cycle rides can be enjoyed right from the door.

Being a short drive from the M6, Longtown is perfect for those looking for a central base to stop over when travelling north or south or for families and friends travelling from different parts of the country to meet up in a central location.

Days out in the Lake District are only 40 minutes away.
