Description

Welcome to our Award winning AA Five Star accommodation near Carlisle. A warm welcome with a taste of Cumbrian luxury awaits you in our beautiful, bed and breakfast.

Bessiestown is a luxurious retreat, in the heart of Border Reiver country - the Debatable Lands - a relaxing and refreshing base from which to explore some of the most beautiful countryside in northern England. The Border City of Carlisle, the Lake District and Hadrian’s Wall as well as Gretna Green, famous the world over for romantic weddings and the Borders of Scotland are all in easy reach. The landscape on the doorstep is well worth exploring too.

Choose from our spacious Dove Cote honeymoon suite or one of five luxurious guest bedrooms on a bed and breakfast basis and make the most of local produce, with a Cumbrian breakfast that will keep you going all day. You may book a delicious evening meal which shares the same focus on high quality ingredients, traditional recipes and exceptional home cooking.

Bed and Breakfast
Bessiestown offers five luxury bedrooms and is renowned for one of the best breakfasts in Cumbria – we are proud of our hospitality and we have been awarded both the AA 5 Star recommendation and the Visit Britain 5 Star Gold Award for our excellent accommodation and food with a local flavour.
Special touches
Each bedroom has a beautiful, newly-refurbished en-suite bathroom with either a double shower or a bath with shower over it. We offer all the facilities that you would expect as well as special touches that are typical of Bessiestown: each room not only has a colour television and a radio but also a fridge with fresh milk and chilled water; not only are there toiletries and a hairdryer but also large fluffy towels and an extra heater, ensuring your comfort at all times.

Everything is in place to make your stay extra special.

Our indoor heated swimming pool is open from mid-May to September. The pool measures 32’ by 20’ and from just less than 3’ to 6’ 6” deep.

Local Attractions
Just north of Carlisle and within easy driving distance of both the M6 and M74, Bessiestown Farm is an ideal base for exploring the Lake District, the Borderlands and Southern Scotland and the Solway and Galloway coasts.
Carlisle, Keilder Water and the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site are all a short drive away and Gretna Green is close by for the romantics among our guests.

Add to this the idyllic surrounding countryside and birdlife, quiet lanes for cycling and tremendous choice of walking opportunities and Bessiestown Farm could be just the location you need for a holiday break.

“(The ten of us) were all surprised by the variety of things to interest in the area and all agreed that the walking was superb. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time to explore this very scenic area. One of our favourite walks was right from your door and we also enjoyed the walk you recommended on the Solway Firth and our trip to Hadrian’s Wall. We are certainly glad we chose to come for a longer stay.”
Diane and Bill.

We offer a farm trail of about 2 miles which takes you through our beautiful meadows, woodland and local lanes to see something of the scenery and wildlife that surrounds Bessiestown. There are also plenty of other walks, from family rambles to more strenuous hikes, and there are experts available if you prefer an accompanied walk with a knowledgeable local guide.
 

Location
You will find Bessiestown Farm in a magnificent rural setting in Catlowdy, a small hamlet midway between Gretna Green and Hadrian’s Wall, just north of Carlisle and within easy driving distance of both the M6 and M74. If you are planning a holiday in this area or if you are on your way to or from Scotland, Bessiestown is ideally placed – convenient for the main routes but also set amidst idyllic countryside.

Bessiestown is only a short drive from Longtown and the M6/M74 motorways and the route is straightforward and well-signposted.

• From the south – take Junction 44 from the M6 motorway and follow the A7 to Longtown.
• From the north – take Junction 22 from the M74 and follow the A6071 to Longtown.
• Travelling east and west, follow the A6071 to Longtown.

From Longtown, take the road by the Bush Hotel, signposted for Catlowdy. After just over 6 miles you come to a T-junction at the Bridge Inn. Take the right hand turn (B6318) for a mile and a half to Catlowdy and Bessiestown is the first drive on the left.
