About this property
Allendale Town 5.5 miles. Enjoying a rural position within the North Pennines AONB is this characterful, stone-built property, Isaacs Cottage, resting on the outskirts of the bustling town of Hexham. This delightful, countryside retreat is perfect for a family seeking to explore one of the most unspoilt landscapes in the country, carved by heather moorland, breath-taking waterfalls and a number of pretty towns and villages. After soaking up the rolling countryside surroundings, kick off your muddy boots within the porch before relaxing into your evening within the interior of the property, enjoying a blend of character and charm. The kitchen comes well-equipped to fulfil your culinary needs, whether it be packing a picnic for a long walk or rustling up a delicious evening meal that can be enjoyed at the well-presented dining table. After enjoying a delicious meal, venture into the sitting room where an open-fire welcomes you in, creating a truly tranquil setting for unwinding during a winter’s evening. Venture up the staircase to find three elegantly-style bedrooms, comprising of one super king-size bedroom, one king-size and a single bedroom. Each bedroom enjoys a refreshing ambiance, ample storage and views of the surrounding area to admire as you wake up each morning. During a summer’s morning, look forward to enjoying a refreshing coffee upon the small patio area as you soak up the countryside setting further or enjoy a spot of alfresco dining as the sunsets over the hills. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic retreat, venture to the nearby town of Allendale, where you will find a quaint pub and a superb shop for picking up the essentials, there is also a heritage center and a cafe.

Anyone staying here should be aware of the very bumpy track to the property- we have a Landrover so it wasnât an issue for us.

The surrounding area is lovely and we had some great walks with the dogs on the moors. Visited several places on Hadrians Wall, also had a day in the Lake District, about an hour and a half drive to Keswick. We didn't find any walks/footpaths direct from the cottage and the access road to the cottage is a farm track that's quite bumpy, which wasn't made clear in the listing. Would stay at Isaacs Cottage again though.
