About this property

This charming Grade II listed stone built cottage lies in the heart of town, just off the market square, well placed for shops, pubs, and restaurants of Allendale. Its very spacious interior is the perfect opportunity for family or friends to come together, a characterful place to spend some quality time. The large farmhouse kitchen boasts stylish units and a grand range cooker, with magnificent log burning stoves occupying both this room, and the lounge. From morning through to evening, you can truly appreciate the blend of modernised living and tradition, a unique twist to a heart-warming stay. A cloakroom finishes the ground floor, and a helpful utility is elevated by a sloping ceiling which rests above. Upstairs, three bedrooms await, the master bedroom features its own en-suite, with two additional rooms offering a comfy haven to relax in as the night approaches. All are beautifully styled, and well-appointed for the very homely family bathroom which also provides a handheld shower. Hexham, Newcastle and Durham to the east and Hadrian's Wall just to the north, are certainly worth a visit, as well as the Scottish Borders. There are lots of walks, cycling opportunities and unspoilt villages in the surrounding North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is an ideal location for exploring the surrounding countryside or travelling further north to the glorious Heritage Coastline. Allendale is home to the New Year tradition of Tar Bar'ls well worth seeing or visiting in the Autumn. An exceptional cottage in a remarkable part of Northumberland.

Allendale was once the centre of a busy lead mining area, and many relics of the mining era remain around the area. Allendale is ideally placed for access to Carlisle to the west, Hexham to the east or the Roman Wall just to the north. There are lots of walks and unspoilt villages in the surrounding North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is an ideal location for exploring the surrounding countryside or travelling further north to the glorious Heritage Coastline.

    The so called back yard with seating was dark and to be fair a bit untidy .The front windows were cracked and also a bit a bit of attention but i have to say we had a great time at the cottage well worth the a visit in a totally unspoilt part of our country the allendales are a part of northumberland well worth visiting

  • Richard

    Huge rooms and huge beds, and a nice welcome pack. We went in Summer so didn't need the fire but in winter that would be lovely. The village is great including one of the oldest Co-ops in the country, run and owned by the village. There's a lovely river walk direct from the property where we spotted two owls on our first night. A great base to explore inland Northumbria, Hadrian's Wall and Hexham.

    Yet again it was so clean and tidy. Everything you need is supplied. We love staying here and it was nice coming earlier in the year and we were so lucky with the weather. The village is great and welcoming. Butchers and Co op have everything you need. Lovely cafes in the village and great Indian within walking distance. Fabulous walks from the doorstep. Brilliant.
