Cottage in Northumberland

About this property

Romantic retreat, ideally located in a friendly village in the heart of Northumberland, a perfect getaway for a couple and a comfortable base for exploring the whole of the county.

The location of this property makes it ideal for trips to seaside towns and unspoilt beaches like Alnmouth, as well as beautiful country villages and historic market towns and castles, like Rothbury and Alnwick. Walk to the village pub for a drink and a meal, with themed dining most days, and the village shop stocks just about everything you need. Enjoy breakfast or afternoon tea at the renowned restaurant/bakery in nearby Longframlington. Head to Druridge Beach and Country Park to stroll around the lake. Visit Amble s fishing port for excellent seafood and Warkworth s medieval castle. Morpeth has a good range of shops, restaurants and beautiful river walks and Newcastle s bustling city life is an easy drive away. Delightful cottage for two where the open plan living space has been well set out, vaulted ceilings add to the sense of space and light, and thoughtful touches from the owner fill every corner.
