The Bothy

About this property

An unusual timber clad cottage on the edge of the Northumberland National Park. There is an abundance of local footpaths nearby, making this the ideal cosy retreat for walkers and mountain bikers. The small town of Wooler is 1 mile away.

Follow in the Vikings footsteps… there are not many properties with that claim to fame! But, this former gardeners’ bothy sits in the grounds of an historic property which reputedly dates back to the era.

Today, this timber clad lodge is a lovely family holiday home for 4 people with 2 bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and living area with wood burning stove, TV and bathroom with roll top bath. The Bothy is a great option if you’re planning a walking holiday… in fact, there’s a stile at the bottom of the garden with direct access onto footpaths which criss cross the fells at the foothills of the Cheviots.

The historic market town of Wooler is just 1 mile away from the cottage and offers a good range of amenities within the Northumberland National Park. The magnificent Northumberland coast is within easy reach. There are numerous castles, stately homes and historic sites within striking distance - Berwick with its Elizabethan fortifications and Alnwick with the impressive castle and gardens. The beautiful Harthope Valley is just up the road with access to Cheviot itself, to the east is the attractive Till Valley. Chillingham Castle is 8 miles and the coast is just 20 minutes by car. Golf, horse riding and bike hire nearby.
