Drybeck Farm  

Out on the edge of Carlisle (about 14 km from the city centre), Drybeck Farm is a pet-friendly farm stay and holiday park. You're near St Mary's Church and Saint Nicholas, with Lacy's Caves and Talkin Tarn Country Park close by.

Small and relaxed with just five guestrooms that double as self-catering boltholes — each room features a kitchen and shower. Expect garden views and a spa tub on the grounds for easy, unwind-at-your-pace evenings.

Stand-out perks include free self-parking, a barbecue area, garden vistas and a communal spa tub. Pet-friendly and great for self-catering stays — simple, rural comforts with quick access to nearby country walks.

Rooms come with kitchens for self-catering and there's a barbecue area for al fresco meals. Ideal for easy breakfasts, DIY dinners and relaxed outdoor grilling.
