Description
The cottage, many years ago a stable has an open fireplace. Great for relaxing by after days out in the national park.
Powburn village is at the foot of Northumberland's Cheviot Hills, very near the turn off for Ingram valley. Both country and coast are easily accessible. Numerous castles on the fabulous Northumberland coastal trail frequented by walkers and cyclists are on your doorstep, as well the large cities of Newcastle (50 mins) and Edinburgh (1hr 30mins). It is a fabulous area for walking cycling or exploring by car. Great cycle and walking routes are accessible straight from the front door. The Alnwick castle made famous by Harry Potter is 8 miles away. Alnwick also has a pool and leisure centre. 5 minutes walk takes you to the nearest shop for provisions, there is even an extensive antiques emporium there as featured on the BBC antiques road trip program. Our property was originally used as a stable and was converted many years ago into a 2 bedroom stone built cottage. The cottage is situated in a gravelled square, away from the road.

“Lovely wee cottage”
Stayed here with my husband and daughter for 3 nights. Matt was there waiting with a warm welcome. Cottage is lovely, clean, cosy and nicely decorated. It's a great base for Alnwick, Bamburgh, Alnmouth etc. I would stay here again and highly recommend.
