Treat yourself to a peaceful break away at this quaint single-level stone cottage in Lowick. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s perfect for small families or groups of friends in search of a stylish cottage to call home while they discover the Northumberland countryside together. Spend a happy few hours exploring the charming villages of the Ford and Etal Estate, where you can ride the vintage steam train. In the evening, come home to enjoy a BBQ feast on your cottage’s pretty patio.
Step inside your rural retreat and you’ll find a spacious hallway where you can store all your outdoor gear. Make your way to the bright and cheerful open-plan lounge/diner and you’ll find plenty of seating surrounding a welcoming wood burner. Exposed beams and a dedicated music corner with a record player add to the charm. When it’s time to eat, head to the sleek kitchen to whip up some of your favourite dishes to share in the conservatory, where the views over the garden are lovely. Alternatively, head out onto the enclosed garden, fire up a BBQ and enjoy a fun al fresco dinner on the patio. Afterwards, head back to the lounge area to catch up on your favourite TV shows by the glowing wood burner. At the end of the day, there are two beautifully-styled bedrooms to choose from – a generous double and a charming twin. A stylish family shower room completes the layout.
Discover the wide sands of Goswick Beach (7 miles) where the long, peaceful shoreline invites you to build sandcastles and fly kites. Or head to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne (8.5 miles), a tidal island accessed at low tide that’s renowned for its early Christian heritage and the beautiful ruins of its medieval priory.
