This elevated cottage is situated in the village of Gilsand which is located in Northumberland, on the border of Cumbria in Hadrians 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 others 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 Hadrians 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.

The owners were very welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. All in all a really enjoyable holiday. I would be happy to stay at the house again.

The surrounding area is beautiful. It will be amazing when the local pub re-opens, providing meals a short walk away. The next nearest pub is nice & welcoming and about 5 minutes away, but sadly doesn't do food. Great for a drink after a walk on Hadriens wall though.

The property was really lovely and decorated for Christmas which we appreciated.
