Myrtle Cottage, Cotehill is a cosy countryside retreat, perfectly placed for discovering the beauty of north Cumbria, Hadrian’s Wall, and the rolling Scottish Borders. Tucked just a short drive from the M6, it’s a welcoming stopover for travellers heading north or south — yet so enchanting you’ll want to linger. Within easy reach are the sparkling waters of Lake Ullswater, the historic city of Carlisle, or even a day trip east to vibrant Newcastle. The cottage is newly refurbished to provide a contemporary home from home. The sunny garden provides a place to relax on an evening with a glass of wine whilst you plan tomorrows adventure. For the days you don’t want to cook, the Greyhound Inn is just over 100 yards away serving up a typically warm Cumbrian welcome and hearty home cooked meals.

Step inside and you’ll find a contemporary hideaway designed with relaxation in mind. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is bathed in natural light from the patio doors, while the plush L-shaped sofa invites you to curl up with a book, share a bottle of wine, or enjoy a cosy film night in front of the smart TV with Netflix and full Sky package including Sky Sports and Sky Cinema. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to prepare a romantic supper for two including an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine, which you can enjoy at the dining table or outside in the garden on warm summer evenings. The hall has ample space for storing walking boots and coats after a day exploring the local countryside and there is a handy ground floor cloakroom.

As night falls, the spacious first-floor bedroom becomes your haven, complete with a sumptuous king size bed for a restful night’s sleep, enjoy lazy mornings in front of the ultra HD Smart TV with a cuppa in bed. Start your mornings with a refreshing shower, then step into the walk-in dressing room to prepare for the day’s adventures. With underfloor heating to keep you snug in winter and a peaceful garden for lazy afternoons in summer, Myrtle Cottage is the perfect year-round escape.

All gas, electricity, bed linen, and towels are included. Private parking for one car. Enclosed garden with patio and table and chairs for al fresco dining.
