Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests find the cottage spotless and well-presented. However, a few reviews mention issues with cleanliness, such as dirty kitchen cupboards and a shower drainage problem, suggesting room for improvement.

The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, wildlife, and proximity to local attractions like Hadrian's Wall. The remote setting with panoramic views contributes to a restorative and enjoyable stay.

The majority of guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. Some guests mention a desire for more comfortable seating, indicating that while comfort is generally high, there is potential for enhancement.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and clean bedding. However, inaccuracies in listings regarding Wi-Fi and a freezer, along with some maintenance issues, have been noted.

While guests express gratitude for the warm welcome and the helpfulness of the owner and caretaker, there is no consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under this category. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

Beautifully furnished throughout, providing spacious, traditional accommodation over two floors, the cottage is ideal for friends or families who want to spend time together in a stunning, peaceful location.

This is a fabulous space with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and trusses and a feature stone fireplace with woodburning stove. There is also a dining table that comfortably seats six and a spacious and well-equipped kitchen with range cooker. Built on a hillside Humbleton is set out on two levels, a small spiral staircase from the sitting area takes you to the sun room with a desk and chair, French doors lead out to a small patio area where you can sit back and relax and just take in the amazing views of the valley below. Two comfortable bedrooms are on the lower level and both have beautiful floor to ceiling windows making them light, airy and inviting. The large bathroom is also on the lower level and has a spacious corner shower room with travertine tiles and feature basin. To the front of the cottage there is a charming walled garden with lawned area, perfect for alfresco dining or even just relaxing with a good book and enjoying the countryside, as the day draws to a close, take time to sit quietly and gaze at the stars, with little light pollution in the area this is an amazing location to watch the sky come to life. The village of Haydon Bridge, and the market towns of Haltwhistle, Corbridge and Hexham are close to this Northumberland cottage, and are well worth exploring. Just a little further afield are Hadrian's Wall, Kielder Water, Northumberland National Park, Alnwick Castle and gardens, and the magnificent Heritage Coastline. This luxury Northumberland cottage is perfectly located for that peaceful, countryside break.

On the edge of the Northumberland National Park, Haydon Bridge is situated between Hexham and Haltwhistle and is a short drive away from the remains of the Roman Forts on Hadrians Wall, a World Heritage Site. There are many walking trails available- the most popular at Allen Banks- picturesque village of Haydon Bridge dates back to the 14th Century and is situated on both banks of the South Tyne river with an ancient pedestrian bridge over.

  • Anna

    ) Lots of character in the cottage and plenty to explore/visit in the surrounding area.

  • Douglas

    Excellent base for exploring the countryside, walking the wall and visiting the local historical sites. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking, and the patio was a delightful place to dine and chat with the neighboring cows that seemed curious about us.

  • Nathan

    The remote location was fantastic, beautiful rolling countryside and the constant entertainment of Sebastian (the bull in the field next door) and his band of admiring cows! The cottage couldn't be more comfortable and ensured that rain or shine, we always had a lovely relaxing option...whether that be exploring the surrounding countryside or watching the weather roll by, from the comfort of the cottage. We also managed to get the cuckoo clock chiming, sometimes even on time!! Many thanks to our hosts that ensured that everything was taken care of and left a lovely bottle of prosecco upon arrival. Thanks again - The Sayer family.
