About this property

This elevated cottage is situated in the village of Gilsand which is located in Northumberland, on the border of Cumbria in Hadrian’s Wall land which is steeped in history close to the Northumberland National Park. On entering this cottage you will immediately notice the beautiful presentation throughout. The open plan living area includes a generous well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, a spacious dining area and a sitting area with sumptuous leather sofas, a lovely space for friends and family to relax and enjoy each other’s company during your holiday.

There are four well-presented bedrooms consisting of three doubles, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, as well as a single bedroom, and all offer countryside views. For those keen walkers and cyclists you are spoilt for choice and in fact Hadrian’s Wall, now a World Heritage Site is literally yards from this cottage with the Pennine Way also close by. Locally there are many historical monuments to explore including Birdoswald Roman Fort, and the area has plenty of castles to explore such as Naworth and Featherstone, whilst you can also explore the ruins of Blenkinsopp, Thirlwall, Bellister and Bewcastle. Why not visit the Gilsland Spa set in 140 acres of grounds and where legend has it Sir Walter Scott asked his beau to marry him at the Popping Stone? The small market towns of Brampton and Haltwhistle are easily reached and offer a good selection of cafés, shops, pubs and restaurants. This is an attractive area steeped in history and is perfect for exploring the North Pennines, Eden Valley and the Scottish Borders yet is also very accessible for a day trip to the to the stunning Lake District. This cottage is in a great location for enjoying the stunning scenery and fascinating history that this area has to offer.

Gilsland is a small village with a country inn and most of its houses in Northumberland, but the edges spill over into Cumbria. It is situated on Hadrian's Wall and is ideal for exploring the north Pennines, Eden Valley, the Scottish Borders and even as far south west as the Lake District National Park.
