Myrtle Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Tucked away along a quiet lane, Myrtle Cottage is a tranquil 2-bed cottage enjoying a wonderfully private setting with sweeping views over beautiful countryside. Perfect for a family escape or precious time spent with friends, it’s a place where the pace slows, the air feels fresher and the surrounding countryside offers a calm that is instantly restorative.

Inside, Grade II-listed Myrtle Cottage is brimming to its beams with character, offering a glimpse into its 250-year history. The living room, with its beautiful wood-panelled walls and a crackling wood-burning stove, is a cosy retreat after a busy day exploring the region’s ancient forests.

The kitchen, full of rustic charm, sits at the heart of the home and is the perfect place for hearty breakfasts before setting out or leisurely indulgent dinners. Upstairs, the bedrooms are elegant and restful, each with lovely king-size beds and thoughtful touches.

Outside, a garden with fantastic views invites you to relax and watch the changing light over the hills. The outdoor dining area is perfectly placed to enjoy an al fresco feast together on a summer’s evening. From the doorstep are numerous scenic walks, such as the Wysis Way, leading through picturesque woodlands and open countryside, while nearby villages and cosy pubs promise plenty to explore and enjoy.
