Description

With a twin room and a double bedroom, this is an ideal property for a small family, a group of friends or two couples to enjoy a few days of walking and sight seeing. One medium sized well behaved dog is welcome.Set in an isolated position on the edge of the Northumberland National Park is this charming, stone built cottage, just three miles from Otterburn and seven miles from Bellingham. This wonderful, single-storey property is peacefully located in the surrounding countryside whilst the open-plan living area and delightful lawned garden with patio are the perfect accommodation for a relaxing break. Amenities include fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There are great facilities for fishing, horse riding and golf nearby, as well as Hadrian's Wall and a variety of beautiful National Trust homes and gardens.

Amenities: Oil heating with electric fire. Gas cooker, microwave, fridge/ freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, TV with Freeview, DVD, radio/cassette/CD. All fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Cot and highchair available. Off road parking for 2 cars. Large lawned garden with pond, patio and garden furniture. Lockable bike storage. Sorry, no smoking. Shop 3 miles, pub 1 mile. Note: There is an unfenced pond at the property so please ensure children are supervised.

Region: Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.

Town: The delightful village of Otterburn is an incredibly tranquil little place, but this was once the site of the famous 1388 Scottish victory over the English. As the former home of a thriving weaving industry, the town was once known for the world famous Otterburn Mill, an integral part of the settlement's past. Close to the banks of the River Rede and situated between the hills and moors of the North Tyne Valley there are numerous excellent walking facilities in the area as well as a popular Coast-to-Coast route for cyclists. The beautiful Kielder Forest and Waters are close by as is the Roman construction of Hadrian's Wall, both of which are worth visiting. The area also provides fantastic fishing, horse riding and nature watching amidst superb, tranquil countryside.
