Overview
Property code: 83597

In the heart of Rothbury's charming market town, this distinctive holiday home offers a perfect romantic getaway for couples or small families with up to three dogs welcome in this pet-friendly retreat. The property provides an ideal base to explore the 'Northumberland 250', a unique 402.34 km route across landscapes of dark skies, remote hills, and spectacular coastlines. Enjoy the convenience of local independent shops, restaurants, cafes, and pubs all without needing your car. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate strolling along the River Coquet, while history buffs can visit the nearby historic Cragside House with its beautiful gardens and varied walking routes. The Simonside Hills offer excellent circular walks, and Northumberland National Park provides endless walking and cycling opportunities. Alnwick Castle and Gardens are must-visit attractions, with the sandy coastline just a 40-minute drive away.

The stylish interior begins with a welcoming hallway leading to a wooden staircase. The two bedrooms include a bright double with open storage and a charming single bedroom perfect for a child, featuring a high ceiling that creates a sense of space and light. The contemporary bathroom offers a shower over the bath. The heart of the property is the inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where the well-equipped kitchen includes an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge with icebox, and dishwasher. Relax in the comfortable lounge area with its cosy wood burner and Smart TV. Two steps up lead to an orangery-style summer house with dining furniture and a breakfast bar overlooking the garden, plus a concealed washing machine for convenience.

The enclosed west-facing patio garden captures afternoon  and evening sunsets, offering a raised lawned area for outdoor enjoyment. A chiminea provides warmth all year, while a park-style bench and bistro set create perfect spots for reading or al-fresco dining. The garden is accessible both from the summer house and via exterior stone stairs. Free roadside parking is available on the main street in front of the mews (subject to availability), with an additional free car park located 400 metres from the cottage.

Quirky home in a perfect location. Restaurants, cafes and shops on your doorstep and great base for exploring other areas of Northumberland. Stairs to main living quarters could be a problem for someone with mobility issues. Small enclosed garden area for dog.

Amazing little place. Great location manages to be quiet and relaxing but still with amazing pubs restaurants and take aways (definitely recommend little Italy for a takeout). Perfect dog walks on the doorstep and just a short drive to the coast. The addition of the little dog welcome hamper with a few toys, balls and treats was great.

What an absolutely delightful little hideaway in the centre of Rothbury. Tucked away behind the main street it gives easy access to all, parking on street was easy. The house itself is well laid out and beautifully converted and the logburner keeps it tropical.....even during the coldest temperatures ( we stayed when it barely got over 3 deg all weRead moreek!) As a couple with 2 dogs it was ideal with its own secure garden but it will take 3 people. Would we use it again....definitely! Hide

The hide was absolutely amazing! So lovely and snug. The rooms were lovely and clean and the little extras (a bar of soap/milk/coffee/tea) were perfect. We went with our doggy and little girl and it was the perfect size. We loved the location too right on the high street next to everything with a lovely riverside walk and a play ground next to it.
