Rose Cottage (Elsdon)

About this property

Resting in the unspoilt country village of Elsdon in Northumberland, Rose Cottage is an attractive wood-clad cottage with accommodation spread over one floor, making it the perfect setting for a family holiday. The sitting room offers a beautiful introduction to the property with a comfy seating area arranged around an original range fire with breath-taking views providing a stunning backdrop. The spacious kitchen/diner is fully fitted with all that is required to make sure your guests don’t go hungry and when it’s time to serve up guests can step into the stunning dining area where you will find exposed ceiling beams and enormous feature windows, offering more glimpses of the simply sublime countryside views. French doors open onto the attractive gardens at the rear of the property where there are lawns and a patio area which are just perfect for the children to run around in and for the adults to chill out in. All that fresh country air will no doubt have tired everyone out so when it’s time for bed, guests can make their way to either the elegant double or the cool bunk bedroom which has a double bed on the bottom and a single on the top, so whatever combination of guests in the holiday party there will be a bed to suit. In the morning, it doesn’t get much better than waking up to the sound of birds singing and the trees swaying in the Northumberland breeze, so getting out and about is a must. The property is set in the heart of the stunning Cheviots, on the edge of the Northumberland National Park and boasts beautiful fells, rolling moorland and woodlands. The area is steeped in history, and has numerous listed sites within the Parish, dominated by the fortified Pele Tower. The village of Elsdon has been described as the perfect Northumbrian village, with an ancient parish church, an extensive village green and the remains of a Motte and Bailey Castle, as well as the famous gibbet at the summit of Gallow Hill, with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. There is a good range of shops in the small but attractive market town of Rothbury which is within easy driving distance, and with the National Cycle Route (No 68) running close by, this is spectacular walking and cycling country. Rose Cottage is a quaint and stylish cottage in a stunning rural location.
