Directions
Leave the M6 at junction 43 and take the first exit A69 road into Carlisle passing a Land Rover dealership on your left. Go straight for about a mile and take the first right at some traffic lights just after "The Beehive" pub. The road is signed A595 West. Pass Carlisle College on your right. You will shortly come to a T junction at a set of traffic lights, turn right onto a dual carriageway. Get into the left hand lane as you approach the big roundabout. Bear left which will take you on a dual carriage way passing the castle on your right. Get into the right hand lane. Keep straight through a set of traffic lights until you reach another roundabout. Bear right along the B5307/Newtown Road. About 5 miles, 3/4 mile after Moorhouse, pass a bird of prey centre and then immediately go around a right hand bend. Start indicating left as you go around this bend. We are the first drive you come to on the left, discreetly signed "The Lough", with white stones up the side. This is about 50 Metres before the 30 mph speed limit sign going into Thurstonfield village. Once you enter the site, there is a turning to the left, ignore this and go straight parking to the right of the first lodge. Call at the house and we will show you to your lodge.
