The border city of Carlisle lies 15 miles south. During the summer months, you can make the most of the expansive lawned gardens by playing badminton, boules, or croquet. Once you've built up an appetite, fire up the gas BBQ for a delightful family feast—always a hit on a summer evening. This retreat is perfect year-round; the open fires and wood-burning stoves will keep you warm and cosy while you enjoy a movie from the DVD library or engage in one of the available board games. For the sporty guests, there are tennis courts, fishing spots, and golf courses just a short drive away. If you're seeking a cultural experience, Hadrian's Wall and the historic city of Carlisle, which features a castle and cathedral along with various shops, bars, and restaurants, are both easily accessible. Kirk House is located in a courtyard next to Kirkandrews Tower and has been thoughtfully converted from a barn and two cottages to provide luxurious accommodation for groups of friends or family gatherings. It is also ideal for birthday and anniversary celebrations, stag and hen parties, clubs, and much more. With oil central heating throughout, guests are greeted in the spacious hall, which features a wood-burning stove, a table for either pool or table tennis, and the main staircase leading to the first floor.

The Solway Coast, stretching along both the Cumbrian and Scottish shorelines, offers beaches perfect for family outings. Enjoy the evenings by marveling at the stunning sunsets as the sun dips below the horizon. This area is rich in history; you can explore historical houses and gardens, walk along the World Heritage Hadrian's Wall like a Roman soldier, and visit museums featuring Roman artifacts, or tour Carlisle Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned.
