Kirklinton Gardens - The Pavillion
Cumberland
View on Google MapsPhoto: Alistair Mason
Couples will find The Pavilion a self-contained retreat within the grounds of Kirklinton Hall, a partly ruined 17th-century house set among 14 acres of formal gardens, woodland and meadows. The property sits on the Cumbrian side of the English-Scottish border, in the ancient village of Kirklinton, with enough space to explore on foot without leaving the estate. A beck runs through the grounds and feeds into the River Lyne; the riverside paths offer a straightforward walk for those wanting to stretch their legs without driving anywhere.
The Pavilion itself is a two-storey cottage with one bedroom and one bathroom. Downstairs there is a living and dining room with a wood-burning stove and panelled walls; the kitchen is equipped to cook properly, with electric oven and hob, dishwasher and microwave. Upstairs, the bedroom has a king-sized bed with quality linens, and the shower room includes a heated towel rail. Wi-Fi, electricity, heating and bed linen are all included; parking for one car is on site. The back garden has a patio and furniture for sitting outside.
The location works well for exploring Hadrian's Wall, the Lake District and Northumberland National Park, all within reasonable driving distance. The fortified peel tower that stands on the estate is a reminder of the property's Border Reiver heritage. No smoking inside.

Our Dream Day in Our Dream Venue! We cannot thank Jess and her incredible little team enough for taking our last minute wedding as the last of 2025. Jess is a beautiful person which reflects in her work and Kirklinton itself, being from the wedding industry I had our day planned out to the finest detail and Jess was so accommodating never once making me feel like a wedding coord maniac haha! Vicky coordinated our day and the biggest credit to her for also taking on our timings, requests and total understanding of my OTT planning. Vicky delivered it all with such beautiful ease and enthusiasm she is a credit to Kirklinton. Thank you all for welcoming us and our guests and helping to give us the most magical day ever!

Stayed here in 'The Tower' Guesthouse for 4 nights as part of a holiday. Decorated beautifully and finished to a really high spec. Felt very spoiled inside. You can see just how breathtaking the scenery is from other reviewers' pictures but as a staying guest you obviously get he luxury of having the place to yourself when the cafe goers have left. Couldn't recommend staying here more!

We held our wedding at Kirklinton Hall & Gardens in June 2025 and what an amazing day it was. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, everyone from our guests to our vendors had nothing but amazing compliments for the venue, it really is a hidden gem! Jess and her team went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly and helped make our dream wedding become a reality! From setting up on the morning, helping around during the day to ensure every aspect was accounted for, to helping when the power went out during the evening in sudden heavy down pour, thunder and lightening! Our day absolutely had it all but the team at Kirklinton Hall took it all in their stride. The accomodation is so beautiful, renovated to absolute perfect and very fitting with the romantic atmosphere the venue holds. We can't wait to return in the coming months and years to see how Kirklinton Hall is renovated and the constant improvements Jess & her team are making. The venue is spectacular as is, but will be even more impressive in the coming years under the teams care!

A hidden gem of a cafe, set in a beautiful location. Plenty of free parking and you are given a warm welcome by the owners' Golden retriever. The young lady who served us was polite, friendly, and opentoconversation. The scones were delicious and good value for money. We would definitely return if in the area again.
