Great accommodation in a wonderful setting. Communication and directions were excellent. The cottage is modern and very clean and the view from the windows is beautiful. We only stayed for a few days, but the most positive feedback I can give is that we have already booked for another week next year. Highly recommended.

What fantastic accommodation in such a marvelous setting. We really enjoyed our stay, and even managed to participate in the Talkin Tarn Park run on the Saturday (for which the house is perfectly placed). The electric car charging facility in the car park was also a game changer in terms of convenience , and very straightforward to download the appRead more and use. Lovely access to some gentle and scenic walks, too. A fully recommended destination. Hide

We have really enjoyed our stay at Tarn End Cottages, the views were amazing, having the lake right outside the back door was lovely, my favourite place was to sit in the window and read. We spent evening walking round the lake and then sitting in the small private area to watch the ducks and swans. The Property itself was clean tidy and so comfortRead moreable. I could not have asked for more. Hide

Great accommodation, superb location and in easy reach of Hadrians Wall and the Lake District if wanting to travel a little further. Brampton is a great little centre a short drive and local pubs with good food. The views out to Talkin Tarn in the mourning and evening are a wonder. Recommend walks around and some star gazing. Ample parking adjacentRead more accommodation. Hide

Probably the most upmarket, well equipped beautiful property we have ever stayed in! Views from all rooms incredible and make even rainy days feel special. Property was lovely and warm, quality bed linen and comphy beds, enjoyed watching Wimbledon from the bath tub! If not feeling adventurous a lovely walk from the door step around the tarn (lake) Read morewith a tea room on the way. Huge outside wicker table with cushioned chairs for alfresco dining with "the best" view of gardens, wildlife and tarn. Hide

We had a fabulous week at this beautiful accommodation with great views over Talkin Tarn. Great location for both local walks from the door, or going further afield, as we did, to Hadrians Wall and the Lake District. Excellent accommodation for four people. Lovely outside space, though bit cool to use in March! Good quality fittings and furnishingsRead more. Felt really at home from the first evening! Fiona was available to answer any queries by phone, and sorted things out quickly. Thank you. Hide
