Only a 2-minute walk to a choice of pubs, most serving food and a couple of restaurants and tea rooms.
Cyclists will love that the Sandstone Way Cycle Path runs outside, down from the Scottish Borders to the Peak District, and the cottage provides a space for you to store your bikes. The location is ideal as you can leave your car behind and enjoy the local facilities and indeed, take a walk right from the door up the Simonside Hills. Rothbury is only 12 miles from Alnwick making a day trip to the historic town to see the castle, gardens and cobbled streets a short journey away. It is less than a mile to Cragside House and Gardens which sits on the edge of the village, a marvellous National Trust site with something for all ages. No trip to Northumberland would be complete without a day trip up to the Northumbrian Heritage Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where miles of sandy beaches and historic castles await. Or travel over to Hadrian’s Wall and explore the remains of the Roman Forts, the wall itself or visit The Sill. Of course Northumberland also has the fabulous highly acclaimed Dark Sky Park around Kielder, all within easy reach of Rothbury. This friendly and diverse county has been voted ’The best county to visit’ in the 2018 British Travel Awards and you can be sure of a warm welcome around the county. Beach 19¾ miles.

Very well equipped, tidy and clean. Ideal for 2 adults. Good situation, plenty to do within 1/2 hour of car journey, or walk from the doorstep. Only drawback was the narrow parking area, but plenty available in the street.

Great location. Cottage was very clean and very well equipped with everything you’d need for a super break. Beds comfortable and even though the church bells ring every 15 minutes throughout the night we slept well. Parking space a bit tight but free parking in street was easy. Very responsive and considerate owner. Enjoyed our stay very much and would return!
