Explore the World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall from your base in this charming stone cottage. The cosy, country-style property, close to the market town of Haltwhistle, sleeps six guests and up to three canine companions. Picturesque Haltwhistle is perfectly placed for walking alongside the most intact, central section of Hadrian’s Wall and you are just 2 miles from the wild fells, valleys and rivers of the beautiful Northumberland National Park. A shop and pub are within 0.5 miles.

Comfortable seating and a wood burner in the spacious, ground floor, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner create a lovely, homely feel. The compact kitchen runs along one wall, with a dining area opposite, and a glass door framed by an original stone archway that opens onto the garden.

Absolutely beautiful cottage and in a beautiful location, the owners were so kind, helpful and lovely to meet and speak to they truly couldn't do enough for us. The added bonus was the amimals on the grounds of the cottages, these were great to watch on our days in and a beautiful sight to wake up to in the morning and the doggies that live on sitRead moree are beautiful and were so friendly. Although the weather was hit and miss we managed to get to a few places in the area like the towns, Hadrians wall, National trust places and nature trails and we had an amazing time. We definitely highly recommend and will be visiting again, a few time hopefully! I have already recommended to my friends and family Hide

Amazing holiday in a really comfy little cottage in the countryside. We found loads to keep us entertained locally - haltwhistle, hadrians wall, horse riding and stargazing. The dogs enjoyed the walks and we were really lucky with the weather. We would all love to return.
