Property code: 90310

This quaint and traditional stone-built cottage is ideal for a small family or group of friends happy to share rooms. It is jam-packed with character thanks to being sympathetically renovated to retain many of its original features. With wood-beamed, vaulted ceilings in the bedroom and a cosy wood burner in the lounge, it creates a cosy and homely feel while being perfectly located to make the most of Northumberland’s most popular parts.

When you make your way inside, you’ll go through a handy porch and boot room where you can store any muddy wellies or outerwear. From there, go through to the cottage’s open-plan living area which comprises the lounge, kitchen and dining room in one. There’s comfortable seating arranged around the wood burner, in addition to a Smart TV for lazy days indoors. The kitchen has everything you need to cater easily whilst on holiday, and the long farmhouse-style dining table means there’s space for all guests for sociable mealtimes. The downstairs accommodation is completed with a charming family bathroom. Upstairs, the property’s two bedrooms are set in the eaves. One has a king-size bed, and one has a double. Outside, to the front, you can sit at a bistro table with a morning coffee before starting your day.

When you’re ready to leave the property, you’ll find that Powburn village is a great place to start exploring the wider area. For instance, Northumberland’s National Park is only 4 miles away, or you could head to Alnwick Castle and Gardens which is just 10 miles distant. The town of Wooler is well worth a visit, with its shops, galleries, pubs and restaurants. It’s 8 miles away and you can also start many popular walking and cycle routes there too.

We have just got back from a lovely week in this beautiful cottage, we are a family of 4 with 2 children aged 6 and 3. The cottage is spacious and well laid out with everything you need in the kitchen along with a welcome basket. The location is in perfect reach of all the beautiful coastal places with each one been 20-30 minutes drive. Play park aRead more few doors away which the kids loved and walking distance to a petrol station/convenience store. We have had a great week and would highly recommend. Hide

A lovely cosy cottage in a very convenient location. It would be even better if had a few upgrades eg; bathroom showing it's age and a window blind in the kitchen! The cottage backs on to a main road . There is some traffic noise, however the road is very quiet overnight.
