    “We recently stayed at Waters Edge and had a fantastic holiday.”

    The surroundings were beautiful, with lovely walks and amazing views from the cottage. The cottage itself was perfect for a relaxing and romantic getaway, offering all the amenities we needed. The scenic walks around the lake were delightful, and the charming village of Brampton was just a short distance away. It’s a great base for exploring the Lakes, Scotland, and Northumberland. We left feeling completely relaxed and would definitely return to this amazing place.

The property

Brampton 2.4 miles. Waters Edge is a charming, contemporary lodge settled into the countryside of Talkin near Brampton, with views across the Talkin Tarn and off-road parking. Waters Edge is an ideal base for a couple looking for a beautifully presented base in Cumbria. Park off-road and make your way over to this fantastic lodge, nestled into the grounds of the former Tarn End Hotel, and with views across the garden and towards a lake shrouded in mature trees; fall in love with the care taken to create this opulent abode. With cathedral ceilings threaded with wooden beams, wooden flooring throughout and natural hues within the décor, this tasteful open-plan living space urges guests to recline in the sitting area with a coffee and plan the day ahead of them in the ambient glow of the woodburning stove. Here, guests can rustle up a storm in the amply fitted kitchen, with blue cupboards and stylish white work tops, and your meal can be enjoyed as a romantic dinner for two at the glass dining table. The patio doors open up onto a patio and the garden beyond, affording a stunning view of the tranquil countryside as you enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage in the evening as the sun sets.

About the location

BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA

Carlisle 10 miles.

The market town of Brampton is the ideal base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. The town boasts a rich and colourful history going back to the Roman occupation, Border reivers from Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings, plus bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton. In the centre of the town is Moot Hall, which was built in 1817, and now houses the Tourist Information Centre, and there is a large motte to the east of the town, which is 135 feet high and has the statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle on it. A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 120 acres of farmland and woodland, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, which is an ancient woodland and RSPB nature reserve and has the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is a wonderful base for exploring this historic and scenic area.
