    “Contacted the owner after my mother was rushed to A&E, very understanding as it delayed our start but we arrived two days later.”

    Meet on arrival by Danielle and our situation was acknowledged and genuine, really appreciated that. The property is fantastic, spacious, the windows in the living room, the bathroom and the bedroom were pure bliss, the comfort we couldn't of been happier. We really needed to get away into peace and nature and everything that comes with it and we achieved this at the Heronry. We stay in the UK alot and this is definately one of our top places.

    Meet on arrival by Danielle and our situation was acknowledged and genuine, really appreciated that. The property is fantastic, spacious, the windows in the living room, the bathroom and the bedroom were pure bliss, the comfort we couldn't of been happier. We really needed to get away into peace and nature and everything that comes with it and we achieved this at the Heronry. We stay in the UK alot and this is definately one of our top places. If you really want to get away this is the place to go. If you want fast wifi and telephone signals maybe not. A great place and we will be back when we need to switch off again so it may be very soon.

About the location

LONGTOWN

Gretna Green 7.7 miles; Carlisle 8.5 miles; Brampton 11 miles; Dumfries 27.5 miles

A delightful, well-stocked town in northern Cumbria that runs alongside the River Esk. Longtown is a fantastic base for a holiday as it comes in the centre of four Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Solway Coast AONB, the Northumberland National Park, North Pennines AONB and the Lake District National Park.The local area offers a pleasant range of shops, pubs and restaurants for you to choose from. There are some beautiful places nearby, offering even more places to go and things to do. Brampton and Carlisle are nearby with beautiful buildings. As Longtown is so close to Scotland, it would be rude not to visit Dumfries and Galloway. Edinburgh and Glasgow are just over an hours drive away.

Please note as the hot tub is emptied, cleaned and re filled between each booking it may not be at the optimum temperature for your arrival.
