Located near the confluence of the North and South River Tyne, with wonderful scenery, walking, and cycling opportunities so you can enjoy the flora and fauna and spot some local wildlife. There is a popular pub just half a mile from the doorstep and the nearby market town of Hexham (3 miles) provides a wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants, golf, and river walking routes. Visit Hexham Abbey and enjoy afternoon tea in the courtyard followed by a stroll around scenic Sele Park. Head to The Sill National Landscape Discovery Centre and the Roman forts and museums at Vindolanda and Housesteads, all within 12 miles. Walk sections of Hadrian’s Wall and explore the breath-taking scenery and pretty villages in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

 Access the cottage through the porch/boot room where you can leave your outdoor clothing and boots. The hallway leads you through to the bright and airy kitchen/diner with high ceilings and plenty of natural light flooding in whilst French doors lead out into the garden. The kitchen looks onto the garden and comes with everything you need to make a hearty meal after a day out walking and exploring, including an electric oven and hob, built-in microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. Sit together at the dining table to enjoy sociable meals and plan your activities with the help of a range of ordnance survey maps for reference. The generous twin bedroom is also on the ground floor with a couple of chairs where you could sit with a book for a quiet read and French doors lead out onto the front. There is a shower room off the hallway with a shower and WC. Head upstairs to find the lounge with vaulted ceilings and plenty of character. Unwind on the comfortable sofas in front of the cosy wood burner and enjoy a movie on Smart TV. A glazed door leads onto a small balcony with a bistro table and two chairs where you can sit with a drink admiring the views. Alternatively, head into the cosy sunroom just off the lounge to sit and relax or enjoy a little bird watching and star gazing. The second bedroom is on this floor with a king-size bed and a recess with open hanging space for your belongings.

Although touted as dog friendly, the owners do not allow dogs upstairs. This would be fine, if it was only sleeping quarters upstairs, however the living room is upstairs. I wanted a relaxing long weekend, to take leisurely walks and sit on a couch reading a book with my dog in the room with me, not crying downstairs wondering why I had left him.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely part of the world, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, clean bedding. Totally let down by the overall cleanliness and neglected garden.

The accommodation is comfortable, good lounge and beds with a pleasant garden, though a garden umbrella to provide much needed shade would have been nice. The cleaning of the house is rather neglectful of corners and cobwebs but overall a good stay in a beautiful location. Dogs are not permitted upstairs and the lounge area is on the first floor.

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful area. The building is charming with a unique layout. I particularly liked the small reading/stargazing room which I used for yoga, meditation and drawing. The kitchen is well equipped and the double bed extremely comfortable! The garden - very pretty and is secure if you have brought your dog. The location isRead more handy for Hexham and Corbridge and surrounding areas of interest; Hadrians Wall, various Roman forts, Kielder Forest etc. Hide

Beautiful cottage/ barn conversion. There was everything we needed but most importantly our border collie was very happy in her own very beautiful enclosed garden which was so quiet that she didn't find the need to bark.

The house is in a lovely group of houses down a quiet private lane, but within easy access to the main road and a nice pub. It was originally done up to a high standard and a good layout, but is now a bit tired in places. The garden is a really useful space although a bit neglected. We had a very comfortable stay and a good week.

Very comfortable property in a lovely location. Upstairs bedroom is spacious with a large bathroom but unfortunately the downstairs bathroom was very small and not really suitable for 2 adults. The bedroom downstairs has no storage facilities. Very well equipped and ideal for visiting Northumberland.
