Indulge in a peaceful retreat at this stone cottage just outside Belford. Sleeping five people across three bedrooms, it’s perfect for small families or groups of friends who want to exchange the hustle and bustle of everyday life for some tranquil time in the Northumberland countryside. Spend a lovely morning roaming the beach at Bamburgh before you head to its iconic castle for the afternoon. In the evening, return to the cottage to host a fun BBQ feast on the pretty patio.
From your private parking area (there’s room for three cars) head inside this enchanting cottage. Step inside and a spacious hallway leads you to a beautiful farmhouse-style lounge with a cosy wood burner, exposed timber beams and charming furnishings. When it’s time to eat, head to the country-style kitchen/dining area and rustle up some dinner. Alternatively, open the French doors and make your way out into the enclosed patio garden, fire up a BBQ and dine alfresco while you enjoy the country views. After dinner, retire to the lounge to warm your toes by the wood burner. At the end of the day, retreat to one of three stylish bedrooms. The ground-floor bedroom has a versatile super-king zip-and-link bed that can be arranged as a twin on request, along with its own en-suite shower room. Upstairs, you’ll find another zip-and-link super-king-size (can be arranged as a twin by request) and a cosy single – both with far-reaching views and slanted, beamed ceilings. A classic family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout of this lovely escape.
Surround yourself in sweeping golden sands at Bamburgh (6.5 miles). Discover its iconic castle and soak up far-reaching views towards the Farne Islands. Alternatively, cross the tidal causeway to Lindisfarne (15.5 miles) to explore its medieval priory and castle.
