Located in the picturesque AONB village of Melmerby on the edge of the Lake District National Park this property has all you need for a romantic getaway. Melmerby itself has many walks right from your door, along with a local village bakery/café and pub. It is also located right at the start of the Hartside Pass route, which is very popular with cyclists. A short drive away is Ullswater, where you can take a boat trip or the steamer across the lake, stopping off to explore this amazing region. The eclectic market town of Penrith is also nearby, with an array of shops, pubs, and restaurants to choose from.

This cottage truly is the ideal romantic getaway. The fabulously large lounge has the wow factor, with original range fireplace with wood burner, vaulted ceilings and old beams. This is the hub of the house with amazing views over to the fells from the sunroom through floor-to-ceiling windows. There is an original stone set fireplace, two large sofas including a Chesterfield, and a huge wall-mounted Smart TV. The sunroom boasts comfort as well, with an additional corner sofa and dining table and chairs to enjoy those views and watch the llamas, alpacas and even an emu whilst dining! The country-cottage style kitchen exudes charm and character, with beamed, vaulted ceilings, a large electric range-style oven and hob, microwave, fridge, and double sink. The gorgeous bedroom has a double bed with a brass frame and features an old stone fireplace that houses a wall-mounted TV. The en-suite bathroom oozes relaxation, with a slipper bath and WC.

The garden has all you need for your getaway, including a patio area with seating and a private hot tub with stunning views; it’s a dreamy spot for relaxing under starry skies (no light pollution) with a loved one.

We had an amazing time at Coachmans Cottage. It's quirky but fun. Ideal location to view many attractions. The hot tub was great for stargazing after a day out sight seeing. Graham and Mark were very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and happy to chat whenever we saw them.

We visited in late January 2024. Coachman's Cottage is one of three buildings. The Big House was originally the Rectory for the nearby church and the cottage was used for servant accommodation. It's located about 17 miles north east of Penrith and is delightfully isolated. The cottage is well equipped. Everything is properly maintained and all workRead mores perfectly. Underfloor heating throughout has to be turned right down if you fire up the log burner, it gets very warm otherwise. Hide

Excellent property, wonderful holiday, 10/10! This was a beautiful cottage, much bigger than it looks on the photos too. The view is just gorgeous, sitting in the hot tub or on the sun loungers looking at that is wonderful. The owners are extremely lovely and made sure we had everything we needed; we ended up chatting for about an hour and having aRead more tour of the manor!
