Hexham 2 miles. A superb stone-built, Grade II listed wing of a former Bastle house, attached to the owners home in the sleepy little hamlet of Beaufront Woodhead, two miles from Hexham, Corbridge and Hadrian's Wall.

Tastefully refurbished to provide a cosy retreat, this lovely cottage is accessed via an impressive front door which leads to the open plan living area; the small but well-equipped kitchen has all you need to rustle up a tasty meal and what could be nicer than curling up with a nightcap in front of the woodburning stove.

The owners had gone above expectations providing a lovely welcome hamper and very pretty Christmas decorations. The accommodation was perfect for us as a couple with a small dog and the location is excellent for visiting Hadrianâs Wall and wider Northumberland and Cumbria.
