Located less than half a mile from the friendly shops, bars and restaurants of Rothbury, you can leave the car and walk into town taking the Jacob s Ladder steps down to the bridge and across the River Coquet. Play golf or enjoy a picturesque river walk and picnic, spotting the birds and local wildlife. Spend time at magnificent Cragside House and Gardens (1.5 miles), climb the local Simonside Hills to enjoy fabulous views from the top, and explore the walking and cycling trails around the Northumberland National Park. Visit Alnwick s market town, stunning Castle and Gardens (12 miles) and stroll on Alnmouth s sandy beach. Step through the front door and into the hallway where you can leave your outdoor clothing and walking boots.
