The Gables

About this property

The Gables is a charming lodge near Chatton in Northumberland. Enjoying countryside views, an enclosed garden and a location within easy reach of Northumberland National Park, sleeping three guests across two bedrooms, this inviting retreat is ideal for a small family, couple or friends looking to discover Northumberland's landscapes, heritage and coastline. Arrive at The Gables and make use of the off-road parking before stepping into the attractive surroundings. The enclosed rear garden immediately sets the scene for a relaxing stay, with a lawn, decking, pergola and sun loungers offering plenty of opportunities to sit back and admire the surrounding countryside.

Enter through the stable door into the kitchen, where you'll find everything needed to prepare family meals and picnic lunches for days out exploring the county. Start the morning with coffee and toast before gathering plans for the day around the dining table. From here, move through to the sitting room, where the multi-fuel stove creates a welcoming focal point for cooler evenings. Settle down with a film on the TV, share stories from the day's adventures, or curl up beside the flickering flames with your favourite book. Upstairs, two well-presented bedrooms await, comprising a king-size room and a single room, both offering a restful place to recharge after a day spent outdoors.

Completing the interior is the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a refreshing shower before setting out or unwind with a leisurely soak at the end of the day. Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides an excellent extension of the living space. Stretch out on the sun loungers with a good book, enjoy alfresco drinks beneath the pergola, or let your four-legged companion explore the lawn while you take in the far-reaching countryside views. A shop and pub are located a short drive away, making it easy to pick up essentials or enjoy a meal out. The market town of Wooler is within easy reach and offers access to walking routes through the Cheviot Hills, independent shops and welcoming tearooms.

Alnwick makes an excellent day out, home to the magnificent Alnwick Castle, the impressive displays of Alnwick Garden and the town's historic streets lined with independent businesses. Northumberland National Park is also nearby, where scenic walking trails, ancient hillforts and renowned dark skies create memorable experiences throughout the year. For those wishing to explore the coast, Bamburgh offers a dramatic castle, sweeping sandy beaches and stunning views across the North Sea. Whether you're exploring the national park, discovering Northumberland's historic towns or simply unwinding in the garden, The Gables is a delightful base for your next countryside escape.

The peaceful Northumberland village of Chatton is situated in the midst of wonderful scenic countryside. Consisting of a cluster of stone-built houses surrounding its small village green, the village has a shop including a Post Office, an art gallery and an excellent pub The Percy Arms known for its good food and beer.
