It’s no surprise that Rothbury is a popular hotspot for walkers and nature enthusiasts. The stunning backdrop of rolling countryside and sandstone combined with the friendly pubs and tearooms are an inviting prospect, especially when you choose this attractive property as your comfortable base. Sleeping four guests and a canine companion, this duplex apartment boasts a wood burner for cosy nights and an excellent shared garden for summer evening drinks in the private seating area of the shared garden.
Overlooking the surrounding town and countryside, this first-floor property offers peace and seclusion from the comfort of the lounge, which is kept pleasingly warm thanks to the wood burner-effect electric fire. Enjoy leisurely mealtimes in the thoughtfully equipped kitchen/diner, admiring the feature stone fireplace. There’s a bathroom with a freestanding bath and, upstairs, both bedrooms are comfortable for a restful night’s sleep. On balmy evenings, the shared garden is a welcome treat, and you’ll have sole use of a private seating area to sip your drinks. There is roadside parking subject to availability, and free public car parks are nearby.
The Coquetdale Valley is ripe for adventures, complete with a river that’s renowned for salmon and trout fishing, and the famous Cragside House encircled by gardens and woodland, 1.5 miles away. There is a popular golf course across the river, but the town itself has plenty of eateries and quirky shops to keep you amused if retail therapy is more your cup of tea. The Northumberland National Park can be accessed from the gateway town of Great Tosson, 2.5 miles away, home to the iconic remnants of the historic fortress, Tosson Tower.
