  Wow, what can I say about The Tower?

  It is absolutely stunning and decorated to such a high standard with so much thoughtfulness put into everything. Comfort and the feeling of being spoilt was the whole atmosphere, from the incredibly warm welcome to the luxury welcome basket and ridiculously comfortable furnishings throughout. Not only that, but it is the perfect base to explore everywhere from across the border into Scotland, Hadrians Wall, North Penines and the Lake District. So much history at Kirklinton Hall and Gardens and so much history in the surrounding areas. I will 100% be back and would recommend to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for such a fantastic week.

  This is a wonderful place for cycling, friendly hosts and the roses are as gorgeous as in the photos.

  I also really liked the quality of bedding, soaps and carpet. The tap water is good too, not as soft as where I am but tasted nice. It's in the welcome guidance book but not here online that there is no / very patchy mobile signal, I think wifi is through starlink? So most people with a smartphone will be fine. And I did get signal better from one windowsill, texts came through ok. If I were to visit again I'd try and call ahead with Susan's Farm Shop for local food or find a local market day. But Houghton Garden Centre has everything you could need, including local honey. Tourist Info at Carlisle were helpful.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , the tower was amazing comfortable ,spotlessly clean, modern top spec fittings throughout .

  The old building was an inspired blend of old and new . A thoughtful welcome basket was waiting us on arrival . The gardens and hall itself were beautiful . Can’t wait to see it fully restored . The history of the hall itself is an interesting read . All this led to what we were looking for a peaceful , relaxing , calming break in unique surroundings thank you we will definitely return x

  We really needed a few days just to relax before returning home from visiting family and we had a lovely time at the cottage.

  The gardens and the Hall were all beautiful and it would be nice to return at a different time of year to see the gardens again. We would like to have had an afternoon tea but hadn't realised we could until we had to leave so we will definitely come back to try one. The whole place had a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

  In an absolutely unique setting, The Tower is a cosy retreat, within the remains of a once stately home which offers all the peace & quiet one could want.

  The underfloor heating downstairs was very effective & the furnishings & bed were very comfortable. It would make a perfect base for anyone wanting to explore the border region & is less than half an hour from the nearest substantial sections of Hadrian’s Wall. Thoroughly recommended.
