Holiday Cottage Description

Located next to the 12th Century Lanercost Priory and just 400 yards from the World Heritage site of Hadrian’s Wall these magnificent self catering cottages were developed in 2009 by the Howard family of Naworth Castle. All the cottages have the “wow factor” with many period featured remaining coupled together with contemporary styling. en-suite facilities, finished and furnished to an exceptionally high standard. There is a highly acclaimed tearoom serving excellent food, farm and gift shop and an art gallery featuring work created by local artists on site. Lanercost is situated in the tranquil Irthing Valley and is an exceptionally important historic site its focal point being the 1169 Augustine Priory. The Romans lived there. William Wallace burnt it down. A dying Edward 1st, the hammer of the Scots, stayed for 6 months in 1306/7 in what turned out to be his last campaign, bringing with him the seals of England which technically made it the capital of England. The priory grew under the patronage of the Dacre family of Naworth until the Dissolution of the Monastries in 1539. The monastic ruins still exist and the site, run by English Heritage, can be visited. In 1859, George Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle instructed the architect Antony Salvin to construct a brand new Abbey Farm steading around two large courtyards. It is these buildings that have been transformed, by a descendant and present owner of Naworth, into this wonderful destination. Lanercost is located 13 miles northeast of the Border town of Carlisle and 5 minutes drive from the pretty cobbled market town of Brampton. The town has a good selection of shops selling locally produced food, bakeries, antiques, distinctive crafts, old fashioned pubs, cafes and a wine bar. These state of the art cottages are perfectly situated to explore the north of England and the south of Scotland.
