About this property
Set in the heart of the charming Northumberland town of Haltwhistle, this lovely end-terrace cottage is conveniently located near a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and provides a perfect base for a family break. Guests will be delighted with the well-equipped kitchen and cosy sitting room with original beams, woodburner and dining area. Upstairs, youll find three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower, and outside is a small courtyard space with garden furniture. Nestled in the heart of Hadrian's Wall Country, which offers excellent walking and fishing, there is also fishing available on the North Tyne, two minutes walk from the property, along with Vindolanda, a fascinating Roman fort lying to the south of Hadrian's Wall. With easy access to the majestic castles and sweeping beaches of the Heritage Coast, or the gardens and castle at Alnwick, Bastle House is a very well-placed base for a family holiday.
Known as the 'Centre of Britain', the small market town of Haltwhistle is a great place from which to explore both Northumberland and Cumbria. One of the best preserved stretches of Hadrian's Wall is only a mile to the north with various museums, forts and milecastles to be seen. This truly is magnificent walking, riding and cycling country, with various bridleways and cycle routes passing rivers, forests, castles and of course, Hadrian's Wall.

The cottage has really good facilities the beds are very comfy and for a 16th century cottage the renovation has been done to a good standard balancing old and new. Whilst other listing mention the lack of parking being literally a 2 minute walk to the council owned so free car park was not too much of a hassle. The location is great for walks from the door and the town centre has all you could need including 5 pubs and 2 supermarkets. We would definitely come back and hopefully in better weather.

The bedrooms were so comfy and the bathroom so lovely for a soak in the bath after a long days walking. Everything was just stunning and we will def be back The kitchen and the living room were fab and we loved the log burner which made the house so cozy at night-it was nice and warm and couldnt fault a thing Only slightly negative thing was parking outside the house was limited to 2 hours but we parked in the sainsburys carpark overnight which is council owned and just fetched the car up when we packed the car back up after our stay which wasnt too much of a problem Adam the host was very helpful and extremely quick to respond to our texts when i sent questions . We really enjoyed the house and Haltwhistle was a lovely sleepy town-can recommend the manor House inn for evening meals and Jerichos cafe for breakfast and cakes

Only thing we didn't like much was the rear of the cottage for letting our dogs out as outside light wasn't working and no torch provided we used our phone torch.we would book again.
