Park off-road and be welcomed into this quaint cottage. The kitchen diner has many home-from-home amenities and a traditional fireplace beside the dining table housing a woodburning stove to warm you in the cooler months, and here you will also find a beautifully painted wall. There is a utility cupboard to take care of your muddy clothes and a bathroom to soak the countryside chill from your skin before you settle down into either a double or twin bedroom.

Head over to Bellingham and enjoy one of the tasty eateries, or stock up on essentials at the local convenience store, or there is the option to visit Bellingham Castle, the local golf course or enjoy a walk at Hareshaw Linn Waterfall and Hareshaw Iron Works Trail. Further from the property you will find the town of Barrasford and beyond that Hexham. Indulge in the countryside of Northumberland with a stay at Honeysuckle Cottage.
The picturesque Northumberland village of Belford lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the popular walled towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The pretty coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away. Belford itself is an old coaching village with a pleasant square and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is ideally placed for exploring the Northumbrian Coastal Route, Cheviots, the renowned Northumberland Coastline and the Scottish Borders. The opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from nearby Seahouses, is not to be missed. Alternatively check the tide times and cross to Holy Island to visit the historic Lindisfarne Priory.

Its cleanliness and functional attractive furnishings. The internet is hardly worth having its so slow but its pathetic for previous users to complain about it. Who wants to use the internet on a weeks quiet holiday? In any case there was very good 4G coverage to use mobile data for several days and I was able to do some work.

Only quibble was the broadband speed (tortoise-like)

It would have been good to have towels and bedclothes provided, given the cost of staying. We also had to tighten the loose shower head and a saucepan handle which was dangerously loose. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
