About this property

A charming character cottage circa 1750s, offering superb upside down accommodation, in the small market town of Haltwhistle, which offers excellent local shops and a real ale pub. The scenic Haltwhistle Burn gorge, which leads up to the Roman wall (2 miles away), is just a 3 minute walk from the cottage. The property has been sympathetically modernised to an extremely high standard, and includes a spacious first floor sitting room with dining area, two comfortable ground floor bedrooms and a sun-trap patio overlooking the owner's walled garden. An ideal base from which to explore Hadrian's Wall, the North Pennines and Hexham, whilst Kielder Water, Alnwick Castle and the Northumberland coast are further away. Haltwhistle is also within easy reach of Carlisle, the Lake District and Dumfries and Galloway. A fabulous property for a relaxing and varied break at any time of year!

Known as the 'Centre of Britain' this small market town is well served by a range of local shop and excellent pubs. There are 3 castles within a few miles of Haltwhistle; Blenkinsop and Bellister are ruins, but the 14th Century Thirlwall Castle is well-preserved and worth a visit. Five miles away is Housteads Roman Fort, the best preserved Roman camp on Hadrian's Wall. Nearby, the parish church of Holy Cross is ancient building, which may date to the 9th century, and within it is a preserved 7th century water stoup thought to have been used by St Paulinus. Haltwhistle was granted a royal charter to hold a market in 1306 and the market is still held today. The town prides itself on being 'The Centre of Britain' and it makes a fantastic location from which to explore Hadrian's Wall country.

    A warm and welcoming home from home, we lacked for nothing. We especially enjoyed the fresh scones and a hot drink after our long journey. Sue and Nick were available should the need arise both for conversation and suggestions. It’s a great base for visiting many places; a walk along the burn is a must!

    The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. The wifi is good There is an attractive sitting out area. Parking is easy. The "upside down" layout works very well. The cottage is very close to the town centre, but at the same time very quiet and private. Haltwhistle is at the centre of beautiful countryside and other attractions, including of course the best sections of Hadrian's Wall, and with good roads in all directions
