Long Byres at Talkin Head offers superb self-catering accommodation in a picturesque, isolated location on a hill farm in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 10 miles east of Carlisle and 3 miles south of Brampton. Owner Mrs Harriet Sykes has overseen the conversion of old farm buildings into seven self-contained cottages with 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. They feature quarry-tiled floors, exposed beams and pine panelling, and fittings include a gas cooker, toaster, fridge, teletext TV and shared laundry facilities.

The two largest cottages, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, have recently been completely refurbished to an impressively high standard. All are available throughout the year, and central heating and double glazing keeps things cosy and peaceful at all times. Guests can meet the cows and ponies that live on the farm, and while strolling around they might spot red squirrels, badgers, hares and foxes. This is great walking and nearby attractions include golf, riding, the RSPB Reserve at Geltsdale and the many activities for all the family at Talkin Tarn.
