The lounge boasts the friendly comfort of a wood burning stove making this property suitable in all seasons. In summer, cushions for the outside chairs are provided. In addition there is a small enclosed garden to the side of which is a living willow dome.
It is a lovely easy walk into nearby Rothbury either on the footpath on the roadside or using a public right of way over the field. The property enjoys a tranquil rural aspect; the Simonside Hills are to the rear with views toward Cragside to the front. The property is also on the edge of the national park close to the designated Dark Sky’s area. As well as providing miles upon miles of walking routes and cycle paths the park is the first of its kind in England to be designated as a Dark Sky Park. The award winning Kielder Observatory in Kielder Water is THE place to go to gaze at the stars after dark. In addition to the Simonside Hills to the rear of the cottage you have views toward Cragside from the front and the glorious coast is a short drive away as is Alnwick and Alnwick Castle.

A complete delight, the thick stone walls providing a lovely sense of safety and security, the scent
A complete delight, the thick stone walls providing a lovely sense of safety and security, the scent of wood burning again, adding 'snug' in mid winter. Everything I could think of needing had been thought of. The area is of course a hidden gem. I look forward to another visit soon.

A very well equipped cottage with everything you need and in a peaceful setting.
A very well equipped cottage with everything you need and in a peaceful setting. It's near to the shops in Rothbury, (down a very steep field - if you decide to walk!), of which there are a good number and variety for the size of the place. It's also a good base for exploring that area of Northumberland. We walked part of Hadrian's Wall, also Lord Armstrong's carriageway and up to and along the ridge of Simonside Hills. We also had walks in Kielder Forest, from Beadnell to the Ship Inn in Low Newton and along the beach from Bamburgh to Seahouses. We'd previously visited Crag Side a couple of times but that is very near and well worth a visit.
