Part of a delightful barn conversion, this stone-built cottage adjoins the owners' home in the rural hamlet of Whitridge, close to the larger hamlet of Longwitton, the village of Scots Gap and just 10 miles from Morpeth. Comfortably furnished and well-appointed throughout, including wooden floors with toasty underfloor heating, this Longwitton cottage is in a perfect spot for exploring Northumberland. This cottage near Scots Gap has two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is a walk-in wet room, making it ideal for the less sprightly. To the front of this Northumberland cottage there is a spacious patio area with furniture and views of the spectacular countryside, a perfect place to sit and plan the day's activities. A real bonus as the cottage is situated at the heart of one ofthe most beautiful parts of rural Northumberland with the surrounding area providing numerous riding, walking and cycling opportunities. The nearby market town of Morpeth is home to the River Wansbeck and provides lovely riverside walks, along with great shops, pubs and restaurants. A lovely Longwitton cottage and an ideal Northumberland destination at any time of year.
The former farming hamlet of Whitridge is situated close to Scots Gap village, offering both a village shop and fantastic country store. Only five miles away from the National Trust property of Wallington Hall - with its associated gift shops, tea rooms and farm shop selling local produce - this lovely little settlement is surrounded by views of the Rothley Craggs. Rothley Folly, another National Trust property is nearby and can be seen from the hamlet. Other historic attractions include the village of Meldon and its thirteenth century church. At only five miles away, this is great place to walk to along pretty country lanes.

Ridge Cottage was amazing, immaculate, lovely welcome basket , cosy and very quiet, My brother and I used it as a base and it was very nice to get back to each day. It has everything you need and more , we had no signal for phone but it meant we had a decent break from jobs . Would highly recommend this and hope to be back , Thanks

What a week it was!! We truly couldnât fault it⦠Firstly, the location is sublime. Very isolated, but in a very good way! Extremely tranquil and beautiful. Fabulous dark skies at night, gives fantastic starry skies above!! The cottage itself is absolutely gorgeous! Spotlessly clean and very welcoming. Vivienne and Lindsey, had left a lovely welcome basket of goodies (with our dogs favourite treat included!). Everything you need for a great week was there in this cottage. Wonderful environment for dogs, too, with lovely walks just outside the door! Our dog, Lady, loved it!! Vivienne was a lovely lady, who took the time to have a few chats. We would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage and we will be returning to see the rest of the beautiful Northumberland countryside!!! Thank you Vivienne and Lindsey!!

Clean, cosy, very well equipped ( probably one if the best we have stayed in and we always use self catering cottages). Hosts are just lovely and live just next door if you need anything. A beautiful location and even bad weather didnât spoil our stay.
