About this property
A traditionally furnished stone cottage standing high above Haltwhistle, known as the Centre of Britain. This property is ideally located for walking Hadrian's Wall.
The Coach House is one of three stone built cottages in an elevated spot close to Hadrian’s Wall. A very comfortable 3 bedroom holiday home for 5 people. The open plan living room comes complete with a wood burning stove for the cooler evenings and a TV with Freeview. The kitchen is well equipped with all modern appliances, dining table and chairs. Direct access from the living room onto the shared courtyard through a beautiful original stone archway is a lovely feature and the perfect spot to relax and fire up the barbecue after a day out.
This is an excellent base from which to explore the most interesting sections of Hadrian's Wall. Being midway along the stretch of The Wall, the Roman Forts of Housesteads, Vindolanda and Birdoswald can all be reached within a few minutes by car. Excellent for spotting wildlife, scenery and outdoor pursuits - great for walking and fishing and pony trekking, all available locally. Nearby there’s an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts and the area is well served with a good range of amenities and rail and bus connections. The market town of Hexham with its Saxon abbey is 13 miles east, whilst the Border city of Carlisle is 20 miles west. Easy access to Northumberland National Park, the Lake District, the Dales and the Scottish Borders. Golf, fishing and horse riding locally.
The location is had to beat - perfect for a family or group of friends looking to explore this beautiful region,

Mr George Taylor
We had a lovely holiday, Sue and Dave ( the owners),were very friendly and helpful, the cottage was very clean, cosy and comfortable and in a beautiful spot, very quiet. There is a good Indian restaurant / takeaway, (Zakkis), in the town, and the Ocean chip shop does excellent fish and chips, but beware of the huge portions. There are also various pubs in Haltwhistle that we didn't try. The wonderful scenery and the local accent which is I consider one of the best in Britain, make this a destination I will visit again . Thoroughly recommended.

Very welcoming owners. Helpful and friendly. Our granddaughter loved all the animals and helping feed the chickens and ducks. Hadrian's Wall easily accessible. We had a good, relaxing time.
