Escape to this exquisite first-floor apartment set in a quiet mews just off the main street in the heart of the picturesque town of Rothbury. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this is the perfect accommodation choice for small families or groups of friends in search of a relaxing bolthole to call home while they discover the magnificent Northumberland countryside. Explore Cragside House, the world's first hydroelectric-powered home, and in the evening, come home to enjoy a glass of wine in the apartment’s pretty courtyard patio while you wait for the stars to come out.
Enter the shared ground-level entrance hall and climb the stairs leading to your apartment door on the first floor. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a spacious hallway leading to the inviting lounge that offers a cosy flame-effect electric fire and large picture windows with views over the village and hillsides. When it’s time to eat, make your way to the sleek open-plan kitchen/dining area to cook up dishes to share at the elegant dining table. After dinner, head out into the pretty courtyard patio and take a seat on the bench to enjoy a glass of something cool and crisp. At the end of the day, there are two beautifully-styled bedrooms waiting for you – a charming super-king-size (can be made up as a twin on request) and a generous double. Completing the layout, you’ll find a sleek family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Spend a happy few hours in the vibrant market town of Alnwick (12 miles), where you can visit Alnwick Castle – it was featured in the Harry Potter movies – and afterwards, browse the town’s friendly shops, pubs and restaurants. Alternatively, pack a picnic and relax on the golden sands of Alnmouth Beach (17 miles), which is a popular haven for birdwatchers.
