As you walk through the door into the open plan living area you are drawn to the wall of windows which perfectly frame the view, the comfy sofa is positioned to admire the tarn and snuggle in front of the electric fire with flame effect and Smart TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to prepare a scrumptious meal including electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. The romantic first floor bedroom has a wall of windows to take in the stunning view, snuggle in the bed and watch the stars twinkling above the water below.

There is free off street parking in the car park opposite which also provides EV charging and a secure bike shed. A private patio area has table and chairs to take in the spectacular view and shared use of the landscaped gardens and jetty. If you wish to arrange your own activities such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, paddle boarding or boating you must first obtain a permit from Talkin Tarn Country Park authority either online or from the boathouse at the tarn. Nestled in an area of natural beauty, with uninterrupted views over the tarn, the 12 cottages have been developed from the former Tarn End Hotel to provide luxurious accommodation in a tranquil setting. Talkin Tarn nestles 9 miles East of Carlisle and 2 miles south of Brampton where there are shops, bars and restaurants. The footpath from your door leads to the village of Talkin, relax with a local ale and meal in the village inn. Wander down to The Boathouse Cafe and Gift Shop, enjoy a coffee and lunch al fresco overlooking the tarn or hire a rowing boat, try your hand at stand up paddle boarding, kayaking or archery. If you prefer a more laid back activity a stroll around the 1.3 mile tarn takes you through the mature woodland, you can fish to your hearts content (subject to licence) from the shores of the tarn or enjoy a round of golf, the course literally overlooks the cottages. Further afield there are numerous historical sites within a short drive including Lanercost Priory and Tea Rooms, Hadrian's Wall and Carlisle Castle. Situated a short drive from the A69 both Carlisle and Newcastle are easily accessible and the shores of Lake Ullswater are just over an hours drive away. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On a lake ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 646 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64460000/64456700/64456629/7cec6ea5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tarn End Cottage 5, Talkin Tarn, Brampton, ideal for a family with activities and historical sites BRAMPTON - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=64456629&PinnedHotelID=64456629&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32927600/32927565/e624c156.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A delightful courtyard setting in the beautiful Eden Valley. near Lazonby - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=32927565&PinnedHotelID=32927565&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90040000/90030300/90030292/02877a85.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waters Edge, a romantic cottage with stunning views of Talkin Tarn Brampton - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=90030292&PinnedHotelID=90030292&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97050000/97041200/97041143/9eeae413.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Converted 1 Bed Barn close to the National Park Carlisle - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=97041143&PinnedHotelID=97041143&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114100000/114092400/114092355/3bc12766.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wellhope View Cottage Alston - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=114092355&PinnedHotelID=114092355&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31010000/31003400/31003330/9cfec982.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 27 Bongate Appleby-in-Westmorland - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 1 review £323 includes taxes & fees 30 Jan - 31 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=31003330&PinnedHotelID=31003330&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78640000/78632700/78632666/33c997f8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tarn End Cottages 12 Brampton - Kitchen - Washing machine - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi £534 includes taxes & fees 25 Jan - 26 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-25&endDate=2026-01-26&selected=78632666&PinnedHotelID=78632666&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71610000/71607900/71607836/fb988e70.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A lovely home from home in a superb location for exploring the town.
