About this property

Otterburn 3 miles. A charming, stone-built cottage, in an isolated position, on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, 3 miles from Otterburn and 7 miles from Bellingham. Peacefully located, this fabulous, single-storey property is well equipped and comfortable throughout, and boasts a spacious, open plan living area and delightful lawned garden and patio, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. There are excellent walking, fishing and cycling opportunities from the doorstep, towards Hadrian's Wall and Kielder Forest, and a highly regarded golf course is within easy reach. Visit the many National Trust homes within easy reach, such as the magnificent Cragside house and Wallington Hall. The historic market town of Alnwick, with its majestic castle and splendid gardens, is just a 40 minute drive away, making this an excellent base for an all year round enjoyable holiday.

The delightful village of Otterburn is an incredibly tranquil little place, but this was once the site of the famous 1388 Scottish victory over the English. As the former home of a thriving weaving industry, the town was once known for the world famous Otterburn Mill, an integral part of the settlement's past. Close to the banks of the River Rede and situated between the hills and moors of the North Tyne Valley there are numerous excellent walking facilities in the area as well as a popular Coast-to-Coast route for cyclists. The beautiful Kielder Forest and Waters are close by as is the Roman construction of Hadrian's Wall, both of which are worth visiting. The area also provides fantastic fishing, horse riding and nature watching amidst superb, tranquil countryside.

    Lovely sites nearby and lots to do. Great for our family of four. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Would really love to go back. Highly recommended.

  • Sarah

    The listing does mention this but be aware that there is no soap and it's worth also bringing cooking oil and salt and extra toilet roll. There was also no tea or coffee, which we found unusual but milk and biscuits were provided. Overall, it's a very solid choice with a friendly host but it lacks some comforts that other cottages provide.

  • Katharine

    A great base for exploring wild Northumberland, great dark skies and star gazing opportunities. Fantastic walking close by and kielder water was definitely worth a visit. A fantastic cottage for a couple or family with loads to do close by. Definitely recommend, 5 star.
