Overview
Property code: 63025

Enjoy a taste of Northumbrian town life with a stay at this contemporary cottage on a quiet residential road in Rothbury. Accommodating four adults and two children, this beautifully presented property welcomes families and groups of friends for adventures in Northumberland. Spend your days ambling around the scenic market town, roaming picturesque countryside, and exploring the castles and coastline. Then return here to unwind in the sauna and sip wine on the terrace watching the stars in this dark sky zone.

Perched in an elevated spot, this reverse-level property is warm and welcoming with mesmerising views from the windows, balcony and garden. A small set of steps leads down to the front door; inside the accommodation is spread over three floors. The entrance level houses a convenient utility room and separate WC, so you can shrug off boots and deal with any muddy clothes before heading upstairs. Unwind in the spacious lounge/diner, gazing out the panoramic windows or snuggling in front of the wood burner to watch a film. Cook up a storm in the galley-style kitchen, then settle around the dining table or dine alfresco on the lower-level terrace. Double patio doors lead to the balcony, ideal for morning coffee or sipping a glass of wine and stargazing. When night falls, venture down to the lower ground floor. Treat yourself to a sauna, then get cosy in the bedrooms – there are two doubles along with a bunk room that’s perfect for kids (with a door that leads out to the patio and garden). A family bathroom completes the interior, while outside there’s a patio with BBQ, and a mature garden with a stile leading to a footpath to the town centre. There’s private parking for one car and space for a second on the road (subject to availability).

Stroll into the town centre to discover an array of independent shops and eateries or explore Cragside House and Gardens, Britain’s first ‘smart’ home (under 2 miles). With the Simonside Hills, Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park nearby, there are outdoor adventures galore. The Northumberland coast is within 20 miles.

The accommodation truly lives up to its name, the view of the Simonside Hills is magnificent! Everything else was also very good. The location is ideal and you can quickly get to the coast, and Cragside is just a stone's throw away. We definitely plan to come back.

First impressions when you walk into the lounge and see the view is Wow. The property is very comfortable and well equipped. It is well positioned with several pubs / restaurants within a short walk. Communication with owners was excellent. The property is 5 min drive from Cragside, 30 mins Alnwick Gardens, Wallington and 45 mins to Seahouses.

We cannot fault this property. It is very well equipped, comfortable and the views from the living area are sublime. The owner provided a nice welcome pack. We didn't use the sauna as we had young children with us, but it looks very cosy. We liked the location which is on a steep hill, hence the stunning views to the Simonside Ridge, (there's a cluRead moree to the property's name), but it wouldn't be ideal for anybody with mobilty problems, as there are steps down from the road to the entrance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Simonside View. The home is comfortable and welcoming, with glorious views across the valley. We walked into Rothbury town and along the river, and also visited Alnwick, Alnmouth and Warkworth during our stay. We are so glad we decided to stay here, and would highly recommend it others.
