Experience a walking retreat at the foothill of the Cheviot Hills, staying in this cosy stone cottage in a quiet village location. Although remote, the village is well-connected with the eclectic market town of Wooler offering shops, pubs and restaurants 5.5 miles away. Further walking opportunities can be found in the Northumberland Coast AONB (13 miles) with amazing beaches and spectacular island views. Laid out with four guests in mind, the cottage itself is a fantastic bolthole with a wood burner-equipped interior space for cool evenings and a sunny lawned garden for warmer weather stays.

This single-storey accommodation choice features everything you need with an open-plan living space at its centre. The lounge/kitchen/diner creates a sociable space for relaxing in the morning and cooking, dining and resting in the evenings. There are comfortable sofas positioned around a Smart TV and the wood burner for added warmth and ambience. Two bedrooms can be found along the hallway, one a spacious king-size and the other an appealing twin with feature wallpaper. Both rooms are served by a family bathroom with a walk-in shower. To complete the property, an enclosed courtyard with furniture and exceptional views awaits.

Take in views of the Cheviot Hills and other surrounding spectacles when enjoying walks from the doorstep. Venture out towards the village of Ford to admire the splendid Routin Lynn Waterfall (4 miles) or explore the Ford Moss Nature Reserve (3.5 miles) to spot wildlife as you go. Further impressive wildlife is to be found off the coastline, with Northumberland famous for its seal and puffin residents. Head to Seahouses (23 miles) to embark on a boat trip out to the Farne Islands, a famed puffin colony, or take a trip across the causeway to Holy Island (15 miles) on a sunny day.

The cottage is quietly situated with lots of birds in the fields around. Short walk to the Red Bull pub and the Maelmin cafe. We found the cottage rather disappointing. No 5-star quality!

The cottage was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped. It was comfortable and very quiet despite being a short distance from the road. The location was ideal for visiting the area. The cafe opposite is well worth a visit as it also sells essentials. The pub is a short walk along the pavement. There was a lovely welcome pack too. I would recomRead moremend the cottage and would definitely book again if we were holidaying in the area. Hide

We had a lovely 4 night break here. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The location was good for getting out and about in this area and we also played golf a couple of days with one of the courses only about 5 miles from the house. The food in the cafe across the road was very tasty as was the food in The ReRead mored Lion. Hide
