With so much to enjoy in the outdoors, wrap up and take a stroll around beautiful woodland, open fields and riverside walks. A short stroll will bring you to the River Tyne and a pathway takes you amidst stunning countryside as you walk along its banks. A steep pathway rises behind the cabin, and care must be taken, but the view from above across to the river is well worth the climb. Salmon fishing is particularly good in this part of the region, the owner himself being a keen fisherman. The lodge is a perfect place to stay for such an occasion and passes for the river fishing can be bought both online and locally. Out and about, this is a fabulous place to explore with so much to see and do. Set on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, the location is excellent for exploring the spectacular scenery of the north of England, the Scottish borderland and the Lake District National Park, which is just an hour away.

Here you can discover the Vindolanda Roman Fort, The Sill Landscape Discovery Centre and the world famous Sycamore Gap on Hadrian’s Wall. Also within a short walk is the pretty town of Haltwhistle, which is the geographic centre of Britain, here there is a sports centre and outdoor heated swimming pool, as well as Burn Gorge, also a selection of shops, bars and eateries. A must on the list to visit is the historic market town of Hexham, which boasts a stunning abbey, the oldest gaol in the country, and an abundance of eclectic shops, restaurants and pubs. Continue on to the beautiful Roman town of Corbridge, and meander round its boutique shops, art galleries and antique shops, or stop for a coffee after taking a stroll along the river. The Newcastle/Carlisle railway line, runs in front of the cabin. You can catch a train from nearby Bardon Mill station with a stopping service in each direction every 2 hours. The A69 is within easy reach giving easy opportunities to explore this historic region and onwards to Scotland by car. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Very good, 15 min walk into Haltwhistle for an evening out. Log cabin was great- clean and cosy. Hot tub was a bonus after a long day walking. David contacted us the night before with full details of check in and how to use hot tub, log burner etc. Highly recommend

Our stay at the cabin was fantastic. I’m still amazed at the decor. The owners were great at giving us tips on where to visit and places to eat. Me and my family will definitely be back again.

We spent 7 wonderful nights at the Cabin. On arrival, we were greeted with a bottle of fizzy and box of chocolates. It's in a beautiful location and there are many places to visit. The cabin is full of quirky features and has a lovely garden area with plenty of seating around the cabin. After a day of exploring the area it was great to relax and unwind in the hot tub! The hosts are AMAZING and so so helpful. They call the night before to give you directions, keycode etc. If you needed anything, you just call them. They made our stay so wonderful and I would 100% recommend a stay at the cabin.
