A cosy and peaceful property for a family or couples wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle, whilst retaining the convenience of the nearby A69 for exploring the area. This detached holiday home stands in a stunning location, with wonderful views of the Tyne Valley and North Cumbrian fells. Set in the Northumbrian National Park, the location is excellent for exploring the spectacular scenery of the north of England, the Scottish borderland, and the Lake District, which is just an hour away. The cottage is ideally placed for visiting the Roman forts along the World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall, including Housesteads and Vindolanda, or Chesters where you can explore how the Romans lived. After you have finished donning your toga and training to be a centurion, you can retire to modern day comfort of Hadrian’s Garden Villa, relax in front of the wood burner and look out over the beautiful views in the open plan living space with decorative oak plank flooring. As night draws in, it is worth stepping outside onto the south-facing patio, surrounded by planting and including views over the valley, to enjoy the non-light polluted dark skies and be stunned by all the stars. Complete with plenty of seating and a summerhouse.
There is a number of good golf courses within easy reach, including Hexham, which is described as one of the finest in the north of England, and Brampton which is the ‘jewel in the crown’ of Cumbria. There is storage for your bike at the property, so you can make the most of the local rugged landscapes. The landscape is equally good on foot, or to walk your dog, why not take a wander to Sycamore Gap and see the most photographed, iconic tree from the movie ‘Robin Hood’? On the way back, grab a pint or something to eat at the local inn.
Nearby towns include Hexham, a popular, historic market town which boasts a stunning abbey, the oldest gaol in the country, and an abundance of shops, restaurants and pubs. In addition, why not visit the beautiful Roman town of Corbridge or its fort, browse its boutique shops, art galleries and antique shops, or take a stroll along the river. Also within easy reach is Haltwhistle, the ‘Geographic Centre of Britain’, which has a sports centre and outdoor heated swimming pools, and Burn Gorge. Henshaw, ½ mile, and Hexham, 10 miles.

The best holiday house I have ever stayed in. Such thought and care had been put into the place. Every need was catered for and it was very comfortable and clean. Additions such as towelling robes, plenty of towels and a thoughtful welcome box. Loved the open fire and the fact you could buy additional logs. Great recommendations for places to see, walks and nearby pubs and restaurants.

Beautiful cottage in fabulous location, and yet very peaceful. Plenty of space and privacy, that we could enjoy with our 2 dogs.Lovely welcome pack and cottage had information about local amenities, aswell as packed with activities for us to do if we wanted to stay inside.Will definitely be back!

Home from home and more besides! Fabulous views and all the home comforts you could possibly want. If the weather was good then you could sit outside at one of the many seating areas. If it was cooler the Wi-Fi and home entertainment was better than anything we have at home, so a real taste of luxury living. Out and about we did all things Roman - Housesteads, Violanda, Hadrian's Wall itself, Hexham and Corbridge. We also really enjoyed a swim session at the Haltwhistle Lido.All ways round, a thoroughly enjoyable time.
