Set within a beautiful and bustling hotel and wedding venue, Derwent Cottage Two is one of four attractive stone houses in a beautifully restored terraced row. The hotel complex itself covers 20 acres and is at the heart of the Northumberland countryside, where you will find plenty of things to do.
There is much on offer within the area, from fishing at the nearby Derwent Reservoir to playing golf at championship standard courses, or simply discovering the unspoiled, surrounding countryside. The cottage is a stone’s throw from the historic cathedral city of Durham and only 15 miles from the bustling metropolis of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is the perfect base for a rural getaway and for enjoying great days out in Northumberland and County Durham.
Whether it’s a bit of Hogwarts magic at Alnwick Castle you are looking for, a trip down memory lane at Beamish, the North of England Open Air Museum, or a just a day out shopping at the Metro Centre, you can unwind on your return using the onsite amenities. Leisure facilities at the hotel are shared by residents and include an indoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a relaxing sauna. There is a fantastically well-equipped gym available and the shared grounds are perfect for al fresco dining.
The cottage is accessed via a tree-lined driveway where a stone frontage hides a neat and contemporary interior with neutral tones and mostly wooden floors. There is a king-size bedroom and a zip-and-link twin (that can be made into a king-size upon request). The large shower room contains a walk-in shower and a sleek and modern sink and WC. The open-plan lounge/diner has a TV and DVD, and the kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven/hob, a fridge with an ice box, a dishwasher and a handy microwave if you decide to eat in.
Other amenities include ample parking. Bed-linen, towels, electricity, central heating and Wi-Fi are all-inclusive and access to Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and grounds.
There is a lively bar and restaurant on site and the local pubs, cafes and restaurants are only three miles away. If you need anything extra, such as a high chair, reception is on hand to help. Arrival is 4pm.
