Overview
Property code: 78643

Beautifully presented romantic cottage with a gorgeous garden and seating area, ideal for visiting the countryside and coast. Perfect for a couple or two friends using both bedrooms.

Sitting between the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Northumberland National Park, this cottage offers a perfect base from which to explore. Sleeping four guests across two bedrooms, sneak away for a romantic retreat or bundle the family off for an escape from the hustle and bustle. Exuding country charm and character, this gorgeous abode is a welcoming home to return to after days in the great outdoors. Spend balmy evenings lapping up the last of the sun outside and sit beneath the pretty pergola.

Follow the shrub-lined path to the front door and step up and inside to make yourselves at home. The bright, open-plan living space invites you to sink into the comfortable sofas and relax a while in front of the TV. After unwinding, wander over to the kitchen area where there is all you need to rustle up a delicious meal which can be plated up either inside at the table, with the wood burner warming the space, or outside for an al fresco feast. After dinner, enjoy a soak in the tub in the first-floor family bathroom or freshen up with a shower before hitting the pillow to rest your head. The master bedroom has a lovely, fresh ambience and a king-size bed for a peaceful night’s sleep, whilst the twin bedroom is great for younger guests or a couple of friends. There is off-road parking at this property.

Wonderfully located for adventurous guests, pack up a picnic and head out for the day to explore your superb surroundings. Spend a day on the sand at Alnmouth (11.5 miles) or head to Warkworth (13.5 miles) for a sea swim, and visit the majestic castle. For a day of inland adventures, travel 21 miles to The Cheviot, the highest point in the Northumberland National Park, where your climb is rewarded with panoramic, far-reaching views. Just 16.5 miles away, Wooler is known as the gateway to The Cheviots and is a great place to begin your walk.

The cottage was in very good order and clean when we arrived. A decent supply of wood for the stove was provided. We found the heavy duvet too hot, but this was easily rectified by using other blankets provided. Its location was convenient for travelling to the nearby towns of Rothbury and Alnwick, but was isolated despite being by a main road. ThiRead mores suited us fine, but may not suit everyone. As it was wet and windy much of the time (we stayed over Christmas) we didn't use the outdoor seating. Hide

This was our 3rd visit to Clematis Cottage. It is ideal for our needs being located within driving distance of all of the attractions Northumberland has to offer. The cottage garden is a real gem and great to sit out at the end of the day. There is some road noise but not a real problem. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Absolutely fabulous holiday in Northumberland. The cottage is fantastic, very well equipped and quirky and a perfect base for exploring this wonderful county. The garden is amazing, really tranquil with a gazebo allowing us to sit outside despite some poor weather. We will definitely be visiting again

Idyllic little cottage. Small, but very comfortable and in a perfect location for visiting the many sites of interest Northumberland has to offer. We were a little concerned about some reviews mentioning road noise, but surprisingly for us (we live in a quiet rural village ourselves) it caused us no bother at all. The only downside I can think of iRead mores the very slow broadband. At less than 1Mbps, use of the internet is very restricted. Hide

Enchanting cottage furnished with stylish decor many items from a time gone by. Fantastic summer house in a stunning cottage garden frequented by many birds. Quiet setting even though it is just off a main road which makes the many attractions in the area very accessible. Possibly the best National Trust property in the area only 4 miles away. 5 StRead morear. Hide

This cottage is very well placed for touring Northumberland. It is very well equipped and spotlessly kept. The garden is idyllic, including a comfortable sheltered zone to sit and enjoy the planting and the afternoon/evening sunshine. Bird life abounds. Plenty of information is provided by its thoughtful owner. Parking is private and convenient.

Lovely cottage, well situated for visiting Northumberland. Cottage had everything you needed. Wi-Fi a bit frustrating as not great. It is on a main road but it did not bother us at all. Lovely little garden, loved watching the birds coming down to feeders. Would definitely return.

The cottage was very well equipped and the beds were beautifully comfortable. As it was October the duvets were very warm and the bed linen was clean and crisp. We used the log burner every night, which gave heat and a lovely warm glow. Even though the cottage was situated on a crossroads, we never really noticed the traffic noise. We were well basRead moreed to visit many of the Castles, especially Chillingham , which was not well publicized, but a fantastic find. Had a lovely week here. Sure to return. Hide
