Brampton 2.4 miles.
Waters Edge is a charming, contemporary lodge settled into the countryside of Talkin near Brampton, with views across the Talkin Tarn and off-road parking.
Waters Edge is an ideal base for a couple looking for a beautifully presented base in Cumbria.
Park off-road and make your way over to this fantastic lodge, nestled into the grounds of the former Tarn End Hotel, and with views across the garden and towards a lake shrouded in mature trees; fall in love with the care taken to create this opulent abode.
With cathedral ceilings threaded with wooden beams, wooden flooring throughout and natural hues within the décor, this tasteful open-plan living space urges guests to recline in the sitting area with a coffee and plan the day ahead of them in the ambient glow of the woodburning stove.
Here, guests can rustle up a storm in the amply fitted kitchen, with blue cupboards and stylish white work tops, and your meal can be enjoyed as a romantic dinner for two at the glass dining table.
The patio doors open up onto a patio and the garden beyond, affording a stunning view of the tranquil countryside as you enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage in the evening as the sun sets.
When sleep calls, freshen up in a beautiful green bathroom, with a quirky roll-top copper bath, a shower, and well thought out furniture.
The opulence of the property continues into the stunning bedroom, also outfitted with green décor, and with plenty of space for your belongings.
This dreamy property is sure to inspire you to head outdoors, so follow the path from the property where guests can enjoy a slice of cake and a fresh coffee from Talkin Tarn Tea Rooms, browse the gift shops, and hire a kayak or canoe to explore Talkin Tarn.
Windsurfing, sailing, paddle boarding and mountain biking are also available within the local area, as well as walks around the tarn itself, ideal for birdwatching.
For more amenities, dine out at the Blacksmiths Arms pub in Talkin, or head over to Brampton, where there is a selection of convenience stores for all of your holiday essentials, as well as local pubs and eateries including the Nags Head Hotel, and guests can try out a game or two at Brampton Golf Club.
Head out into the countryside to discover the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, ideal for hiking and mountain biking, with trails including Cross Fell and Thack Moor.
Visit the Kilder Forest Park, Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or the lake District National Park, with walks at Scafell Pike and Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve.
Discover fascinating sites such as Lanercost Priory, Hadrian’s Wall, Thirlwall Castle, and Carlisle Castle.
There is so much to be explored with a stay at the incredible Waters Edge.

Fantastic
Great location and cosy cottage

Gillian Harper , Mar 2026
A super cottage with everything you could want for a relaxing break. The location is great, with amazing views across the tarn. Most people look at the tarn rather than the cottage, so you don’t feel like you are in a goldfish bowl.

This is an amazing place to relax and unwind in comfort and luxury. There is everything you need in this holiday home to enjoy your stay and loads of local resources to make your stay what you want. The paths to explore around the tarn are perfect for a short walk and there are many longer ones nearby. Brampton is a great town to explore and collect some supplies, further Carlisle is a treat too
Excellent Cottage
