This lovingly restored house is in a pretty village in Northumberland’s North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with views of open countryside and access to many local attractions as well as scenic walking and cycling trails and is perfect for family and friends looking for a memorable place to stay. The picturesque town of Allendale (1.5 miles) has a range of shops, pubs, restaurants and interesting walking routes. Hadrian’s Wall Country offers walking, cycling and Roman history. Spend time at the forts and museums of Vindolanda and Housesteads, and discover The Sill (all within 12 miles). Visit beautiful Hexham Abbey (9 miles) and enjoy strolling by the river and Sele Park, or have lunch in the Roman town Corbridge (15 miles) and stock up in the lovely food shops. Head to the coast for a day and pop to the Lake District, both about an hour’s drive.

Access this beautiful house via the conservatory where you can sit with your morning coffee looking out onto the patio and garden. Step into the spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which offers the perfect space for relaxed family gatherings. After a day of exploring the area, you can rest and unwind on the comfortable seating in the lounge. The stone inglenook fireplace houses a large wood burner (first basket of logs provided) for cosy evenings, and you can enjoy a movie night watching the Smart TV. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make your meals, including a range-style multi-burner gas hob and double electric oven, a large fridge with freezer drawers, a microwave and a dishwasher. There is a small breakfast bar with a couple of bar stools and a comfortable sofa where you can sit with a drink to chat while dinner is being prepared. The large dining table can easily seat everyone for sociable mealtimes, plus a couple of spare chairs for guests. An archway leads to the hallway where two steps lead down to a shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. Another door leads into the spacious utility room with a washing machine and a storage area for outdoor clothing and walking boots, as well as bikes. The door from this room takes you back to the front garden and parking area. Head upstairs to the bright landing to find the four beautifully presented bedrooms, each with zip-and-link beds which can be made up as twin beds on request.

This is the best holiday house we've ever stayed in, and we've stayed in many over the years. It was well equipped (we like to cook), clean, spacious & the decor felt fresh. The beds were very comfortable. It was also in a perfect rural location in beautiful Allendale, whether enjoying the birds in the garden, walks from the door (including river wRead morealk & discovering the local brewery shop nearby!) or exploring further afield. Shopping by car was easy - a 20min attractive car ride to Hexham for large supermarkets or 4mins to nearby Allentown for morning papers & top ups. Hide

Vine House is an exceptional holiday home. It has a huge enclosed garden, which is extremely handy for boisterous puppies and young children. The facilities are immaculate with comfortable beds, fantastic showers and kitchen equipment which is home from home. A large utility area and conservatory meant no cluttering of living space with shoes andRead more coats and the supply of a dog crate and stair gate was an added bonus. There is plenty of space within the home for 8 to holiday comfortably. We had much fun and laughter here and so glad we found it for our birthday and surprise engagement celebrations. The hosts were very helpful pre arrival and happy to help with queries on local amenities and places to visit. Highly recommended Hide

Excellent property in a great location. It was very well appointed with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The house was clean, comfortable, homely and warm. The dogs loved the secure garden and the dog cages provided by the owner were a great boon, never had that before. All in all we would really recommend this property

WOW! An absolutely stunning property - we had an amazing time (4 adults, 3 kids - 4, 8 & 10 - and a Labrador). Plenty of space throughout and a big garden. George & Lou have thought of everything and the beautiful welcome basket was the cherry on top! Would definitely recommend this property & we hope to get back next year again.
