Property code: OC-80611

This five-bedroom property is located above a village pub and boasts views across the Vale of Whittingham. With plenty of space and a south-facing garden, it’s the perfect holiday home for a family gathering or reunion of friends plus two dogs looking to explore the surrounding countryside and Pennine Cycle Route 68. The interior is full of charm with exposed stone features and a lovely, large kitchen/diner and garden for sociable gatherings indoor or out.

The spacious interior is welcoming in design and furnished with comfort in mind. After a day exploring the countryside, climb the stairs to the first floor and kick off boots in the lovely hallway. The light-filled lounge is a relaxing space with sofas that invite you to sit and unwind with a film on the TV. At mealtime, step through to the open-plan kitchen and rustle up a favourite dinner. The kitchen opens out onto the dining area where you’ll find two sociable dining tables with huge windows offering up glorious countryside views. As the day draws to an end, take your pick from five en-suite bedrooms featuring twin beds and a double bedroom with an additional single-bed annexe. All the rooms are light, adorned with simple understated furnishings, and have charming features. Outside, an extensive south-facing garden is the perfect place for basking in the sun or dining alfresco. Let children and the dog play on the enclosed lawn while you soak in the views.

Enjoy countryside walks straight from the door or hop on a bicycle and discover the Pennine Cycle Route 68 (within 1 mile of the property). Alternatively, head 7 miles to the market town of Alnwick and stroll along the cobbled streets, browse the shops, and visit the 11th-century castle. Back at the property, stop for a drink in the friendly pub before heading upstairs.
