Bulrush Cabin, Netherby is a stylish countryside retreat where contemporary comfort, peaceful surroundings and a touch of luxury come together to create the perfect escape for couples. Overlooking a picturesque mill pond within the grounds of the owner’s Grade II listed mill house, this beautifully presented cabin is ideal for a romantic getaway or two couples looking to relax and spend quality time together.
Tucked away in the Cumbrian countryside near Longtown, the all ground floor cabin feels wonderfully secluded, yet is perfectly positioned for exploring the Lake District, Hadrian’s Wall, Carlisle and the Scottish Borders. Wake to birdsong, watch wildlife around the water and, at the end of the day, slip into the private hot tub and enjoy the tranquillity of this very special setting.
A few steps lead into the cabin and the contemporary kitchen, stylishly finished and equipped with everything needed for your stay, including an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, air fryer, washing machine and breakfast bar. Whether preparing a leisurely breakfast before a day exploring or opening a bottle of wine and cooking dinner together, everything is close at hand.
The spacious dining lounge is filled with natural light from large windows overlooking the garden and pond. Sink into the comfortable sofa, curl up in the statement egg chair and catch up on a favourite film on the Smart TV, or gather around the dining table for long, relaxed dinners. A piano adds further character to this sociable living space.
When it is time to retire, two individually styled double bedrooms provide inviting sanctuaries in which to unwind. Warm timber finishes complement the cabin's natural surroundings, creating a cosy yet contemporary atmosphere. The larger bedroom benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room and patio doors opening directly towards the garden and pond, with the luxurious hot tub just outside – perfect for a late-night dip beneath the Cumbrian skies. Freshen up in the family bathroom.
Outside, the peaceful setting really comes into its own. The mill pond attracts an abundance of wildlife and provides an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. Relax with a morning coffee, enjoy a glass of something chilled as evening falls or simply switch off and listen to the sounds of the countryside.
All gas, electric, bed linen and towels provided. Private parking for 2 cars. Garden with seating and hot tub and front garden with views across the mill pond.
Despite its tranquil position, Bulrush Cabin is ideally located for days out in both Cumbria and southern Scotland. Longtown, approximately 3.4 miles away, provides local amenities, while historic Carlisle offers independent shops, restaurants, Carlisle Cathedral and the impressive Carlisle Castle.
Cross the border into Scotland to discover famous Gretna Green and its historic Blacksmiths Shop, or spend a leisurely afternoon browsing the nearby designer outlet. For beautiful countryside closer to home, Brampton and Talkin Tarn offer picturesque walks, while Hadrian's Wall and the surrounding countryside are waiting to be explored.
The northern Lake District is also within easy reach, making days beside the lakes, walking in the fells or discovering traditional Cumbrian villages an effortless addition to your stay.
Whether you're planning a romantic escape for two, celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a luxurious break with friends, Bulrush Cabin offers a peaceful hideaway where you can slow down, reconnect and enjoy the best of Cumbria and the Scottish Borders.
