The property enjoys a tranquil location in a truly stunning area in the national park, in the small village of Byrness. This is an idyllic choice for walkers, hikers, runners, cyclists, explorers and outdoors enthusiasts of all levels looking for fresh air and inspiration. Surrounded by forest, there is a lovely walk from the cottage, perfect for a dog walk. Neighbouring Kielder Forest (14 miles) and Reservoir (15.5 miles) offer a myriad of walking and cycling trails ranging in distance. Cross into Scotland at Carter Bar in the Cheviot Hills (5.5 miles). Explore Otterburn in the Redesdale Valley (10 miles) with shops, pubs and restaurants, historic Jedburgh (16 miles), and Rothbury for Cragside House and Gardens (25.5 miles).
This lovely, welcoming cottage is packed with thoughtful touches from the owners. It has been renovated to a high standard and with great attention to detail to ensure you have a comfortable holiday. Step into the hallway where you can hang outdoor clothing and store your walking boots. Walk through to the open-plan snug/kitchen/diner with a cosy wood burner and a couple of comfortable chairs – a perfect spot to relax and chat while the family cook prepares dinner. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Spend time together sitting at the dining table enjoying your meals and planning your daily adventures. A door from the kitchen leads to the useful downstairs WC, and the back door of the property opens onto the enclosed garden. After dinner, head to the lounge just off the hallway to unwind on the comfortable seating. There is a Smart TV, books, games and modern electric flame-effect fire which adds to the relaxing ambience. The three bedrooms are on the first floor, all with views towards the nearby forest. The king-size has a sleigh-style bed, a TV, and an en-suite walk-in shower and WC. The twin bedroom has 2'6" zip-and-link beds which can be made up as a king-size on request, and there is a generous single bedroom. The family bathroom comprises a shower over the bath and a WC.
Outside, the fully enclosed garden at the rear of the property has a patio outside the back door, a lawned area, and a raised patio with garden furniture. Relax with your morning coffee listening to the visiting birdlife, dine alfresco in the warmer months and gaze up at the Milky Way all year round.
