Overview
Property code: OC-CN205

If you are looking for a traditional, romantic cottage for two, then look no further! The Old Stable is located next to the church in the pretty village of Eglingham with a great pub and is steeped in 18th Century history and has recently undergone a beautiful, internal refurbishment at the loving hands of the cottage’s owners, to allow their guests to enjoy the very best of both worlds; a range of modern facilities alongside original features and character a-plenty!

The Old Stable and coach house was originally built for the local vicar in around 1706, who also happened to be the Archdeacon of Lindisfarne! The cottage is snug and warm and still retains all of its old-world charm. The typically warm colour of the Northumberland stone and the former stable windows and other features retain the essence of the true nature of the building, while the many new facilities, such as free guest Wi-Fi, a cosy, wood burning stove, dishwasher, washing machine, off-road parking and a large, enclosed garden make this a luxurious, little retreat.

The Tankerville Arms pub in the village can offer you a friendly place to enjoy a drink and a meal and from Eglingham, you are only 15 minutes drive from iconic Alnwick Castle and the world famous horticultural treat that is The Alnwick Gardens. Alnwick is a market town and has a wide range of independent shops, bars and restaurants. Barter Books is a must visit, as is The Treehouse Restaurant located in the Alnwick Gardens and there is so much more to see and do here!

Wooler has a great range of independent shops too and affords access to the foothills of The Cheviot Hills about 25 minutes from the cottage while the glorious Northumberland coastline, Bamburgh beach and castle and Seahouses beach, harbour and trips to The Farne Islands is less than half an hour away.

The Old Stable welcomes one well behaved dog.

This is an outstanding cottage in a fabulous setting next to a beautiful church. The interior is without doubt full of character and charm as well as being very comfortable and spacious. We loved the ease with which you could park the car right outside the front door and that you felt immediately immersed in a tranquil setting with wildlife in abunRead moredance. The garden was idyllic and well tended with numerous features to enjoy from every angle. At every point in the day there are sunny spots to sit and relax. We didnt have a dog but I can safely say it is a very secure garden with plenty of space to run around. There was a constant supply of hot water for those wanting a bath and the bed and sofas were very comfortable. Almost everything was supplied by the owners to make your stay as comfortable as possible and lots of thought have gone into making it a wonderful place to stay. Its location is in a quiet village so a car is needed to reach local attractions but the nearest town of Alnwick is only a 15-20 mins drive away. The Tankersville Arms pub is only a two minute walk from the property and it is a lovely place to eat and dog friendly too. We highly recommend this cottage if you want to have total relaxation and peace. Hide

A really comfortable, spacious well equipped cottage with a beautiful garden, in a quiet position. Everything thought about. We especially liked the availability of a summer duvet, the first time we've had this in a holiday cottage.

A lovely cottage to stay with your dog. Spotlessly clean, facilities were of very good quality, enclosed garden. From the door Moorland walks, and a short drive away for Forrest and beach walks. The Tankerville Arms is 1 min walk from the cottage and serves good food in a friendly atmosphere. Parking is off road, outside the cottage.

Beautifully furnished, decorated and characterful cottage. We loved the garden ( as did our dog!) and appreciated all the different sitting areas and the gentle sound of the church bells which did not bother us in the least! We hope to come back to this perfect cottage to explore the natural beauty of Northumbria further.

A cosy cottage tucked away in a cul-de-sac by the church is this ideally located village. The cottage is equipped with all you need to make your stay. The garden is very pretty and we love all the garden birds.
