Facilities
Long Byres Holiday Cottages
Our six specially designed cottages were originally converted by the Dean family from the traditional farm buildings in 1979. Over the years they have evolved and been updated to provide modern facilities, but the fantastic location has remained the biggest attraction with amazing views of the North Pennines and across to the Lake District. The 6 holiday cottages are suitable for big or small groups with the cottages varying in size from one bedroom, capable of accommodating up to two people, to three bedroom cottages, capable of accommodating six people.
For larger groups it is possible to book multiple cottages with our maximum capacity being 24. Dogs are also welcome to stay and can enjoy the spacious shared garden.
Local Area
Approximately 9 miles east of Carlisle is the bustling market town of Brampton, Cumbria. This busy little place is just 2 miles from Hadrian’s Wall and offers plenty to see and do on the outskirts of Carlisle. Conveniently located just off the A69 which connects Brampton to Carlisle and Newcastle, the town dates back to the 7th century where it began life as an Anglican settlement and is now home to a close-knit community with a thriving calendar of local events.
How To Find Us
Exit the M6 at J43 and follow signs to Brampton. Once in Brampton you will pick up the B6413 signposted for Castle Carrock and Talkin Tarn. Follow this road until you see signs for the village of Talkin. Once in Talkin take the road to the left of the Blacksmiths Arms and after 400 yards turn right into a small road signposted Talkin Head. Long Byres is about half a mile along this road.
Visitors arriving from the North East via the A69 please note that the road to Talkin is not accessible from the Brampton by-pass. You should drive into Brampton and then follow signs to Castle Carrock and Talkin Tarn.
