Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Cheviot foothills of Northumberland National Park, this beautifully presented period cottage sits on a family-run regenerative organic farm, offering the perfect rural getaway. Guests can enjoy rural tranquility while exploring the farm's walking routes, observing wildlife including barn owls, kingfishers, and – if you're lucky – shy otters by the river. The market towns of Wooler and Kelso are easily accessible from this holiday home, offering restaurants, shops, and activities including golf and horse racing, while Bamburgh Castle, the Farne Islands, and Holy Island make excellent day trips.
Enter through the main door into a spacious boot room – perfect for muddy shoes and damp dogs – which leads to a welcoming hallway. The ground floor features a pretty twin bedroom and a contemporary shower room with walk-in shower and WC. The inviting lounge overlooks the open garden and offers comfortable seating around a wood burner (with starter logs provided for a cosy fire), a TV, and well-stocked bookshelves. The bright, tastefully finished self-catering kitchen comes equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. Two comfortable armchairs provide space to chat with the cook, while the dining table seats six. Upstairs in the spacious eaves are two additional bedrooms – a master with super-king-size zip-and-link bed (convertible to twins) and en-suite shower room, plus a king-size bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom featuring a bath, shower attachment, and even a sofa for relaxing.
Outside, the delightful enclosed garden offers a stone patio with garden furniture for alfresco dining, comfortable seating, and a summer house for extending your outdoor time in cooler weather. The lawned area is bordered by attractive plants and trees, creating a peaceful retreat. The property provides off-road parking for up to three cars, with two spaces directly beside the cottage. Animal lovers will appreciate opportunities to meet the farm's friendly dogs and ferrets, collect freshly laid bantam eggs, and – during spring – see lambs and calves close by. This pet-friendly British holiday home is beautifully decorated for Christmas during festive stays.
