At this exceptional location you can enjoy stunning country walks and bike rides right from the doorstep and at night, you can star gaze with no artificial light to hamper the evening view! You have the unusual advantage of being able to see as far as the Cheviot Hills on one side of the property and towards the Northumberland coast on the other, including Beadnell village and even the Farne Islands. Enjoy a day exploring The Alnwick Garden and Castle and you must experience Barter Books, the shops, restaurants and pubs in the town too.

Access to the cottage is via the attractive stone built entrance on the east side of the property, which is adjoined to the original neighbouring house, built in 1800. You come into a spacious fully tiled boot room with plenty of seating and coat hooks where you can leave your outdoor gear and there is a separate WC. A door on the left leads into the main, open plan living area providing a fantastic entertainment space for families and groups to relax and socialise.
