Go north to the village of Bellingham, an hour away from Newcastle, and that’s where you’ll find this beautiful, cosy cottage. With a charming colour palette of blue, pink and brown, and natural elements of wood and brick, the aesthetic here is enough to make you want to stay forever. Now imagine an alfresco breakfast at the picnic table outside, followed by a strong coffee whilst you snuggle into the corner sofa with a good book. Imagine games of poker around the dining table – loser cooks dinner  – or a glass of prosecco and a bubble bath. 
 
When you’re not relaxing indoors, do it outdoors by unwinding with a game of golf at the Bellingham Club, or a hike on the Hareshaw Iron Works Trail. There’s a shop nearby where you can stock up on supplies, as well as a number of cafes.

Fox & Wreath

Arguably named for its distinctive colour scheme, Ocean Blue Lodge emanates an air of serenity in an idyllic location nestled in the core of Alnwick. Perfectly tailored for two people looking to break away from it all, this standalone timber lodge places luxury and comfort at its heart. It invites guests to immerse themselves into coziness, catering to every whim within its elegantly designed living area, fully-equipped kitchen, dining portion and snug bedroom. The attached shower room has a tranquil aura that invigorates any weary individual. A fenced, aromatic bark-dusted expanse adjoins the frontal facade of the lodge, further adding to the charm.

Alnwick Haven

Escape to the rural idyll of farmhouse life at this cosy cottage in the Lauderdale Hills. It’s on a working farm, where the sheep have been tended to by the same family for generations and you can ramble across hilltops and country lanes straight from your doorstep. Head to the Carfraemill Hotel for a hearty meal, a three-minute drive or a twenty-minute walk away. Or, take a day trip to Edinburgh, forty minutes by car. The view from the cottage garden is stunning, looking out over the rolling hills and patchwork fields as far as the eye can see. Inside, you’ll find a farmhouse vibe with modern luxuries – a range-style gas cooker in the kitchen and a solid wood dining table for the whole group. The living room is a cosy spot in twilight pink, with an ornamental fireplace. Spacious, pastel bedrooms in the eaves are the perfect end to a day in the countryside.   

Flock Of Sheep

Go back in time to this Georgian country house, only 9 miles from the iconic Alnwick Castle and Garden. As part of a private estate, you'll find lush grounds, a lily pond, and outdoor seating spots. Travelling with kids? There's baby equipment, toys, and old-fashioned lawn games to try out during the summer. Indoors, the characterful rooms are full of authentic features, including a log fire and flagstone flooring. Rothbury awaits 6 miles away, well known for its bakery and charming high-street amenities.

The Golden Chest

This comfortable holiday home sits in Alnmouth, just 4 miles from the medieval market town of Alnwick. It’s a superb base for exploring the Northumberland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whether you want to visit historic castles or stroll the golden sands of the coast. Alnmouth Beach is a thirteen-minute walk away – your four-legged friends will love it. After a busy day spent exploring, you’ll love curling up in the living space, chatting around the dining table, or catching the last of the day’s sunshine in the garden. The conservatory is a great spot for a morning cuppa and countryside views. 

Alnmouth Sanctuary

Immerse yourself in nature with a stay in this classic country cottage, surrounded by lush green fields and picturesque lakes in Belsay, Northumberland. 

As soon as you step inside, you can feel this home wrap you up in its warmth. Cosy furnishings coupled with traditional features such as exposed wooden beams make this a true home-away-from-home. We love the farmhouse-style galley kitchen, perfect for rusting up a traditional English breakfast to put fuel in your belly before embarking on an adventure outdoors. Suitably nourished, pull on your wellies and take a quiet stroll down the leafy lane to your private lake with your four-legged friend at your heel – with walks aplenty in the surrounding area, this is definitely a holiday your dog doesn’t want to miss out on. With the quiet of nature surrounding you and the birds chirping happily in the trees, you’ll struggle to find a more peaceful spot. 

After a few exhilarating hours exploring the local area on foot, return home and in winter months, light the log burner and warm your tired feet in front of the fire. Pour yourself a glass of red, and it’s the perfect way to unwind. This charming country home will have you relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated in no time. 

Casting Stones

A cosy escape to the countryside for a couple or a single traveller, Dorian Grey Cottage has everything you’ll need for a relaxing trip. Nestled into the village of Belford, you’ll be surrounded by rural farms and beautiful hills, perfect for idyllic walks. In fact, staying here means getting the best of both worlds as you are neatly tucked away between the Northumberland coastline and the beautiful wilderness of Northumberland National Park. Spend your days going for long country or coastal walks, visit the nearby town of Bamburgh for its famous castle, or simply sit back in front of the wood-burning stove, read a book and enjoy each other’s company. Weather permitting, we also highly recommend spending some time in the private decking area. Wake up and enjoy your coffee in the morning sun, for example, or end the day with a glass of wine after being out and about all day.

Dorian Grey Cottage

This rustic, 17th-century mill has been turned into a luxury nook in the Scottish Borders. You can see the old but still operating waterwheel, contrasted against the roses and flowering lavender on the old miller's house next door. A wood-burning stove sits are the heart of the home, keeping things cosy warm in winter (your host will leave detailed instructions on how to light it so you’ll become an expert). The classy, aubergine-purple kitchen is well stocked with artisan crockery and everything you need to cook up a holiday meal. The mill’s original mezzanine floor has been converted into a plush bedroom with a roll-top bath. Heading outside, you’ll find a small, private woodland garden with table and chairs. Exploring the rest of the old mill site you might spot owls and hedgehogs in the forest, heron and otters by the millpond and acquaint yourself with the friendly resident sheep. Heading into the small village of Lauder, three miles away, you’ll find a handful of craft shops, coffee shops and a local deli too.  

The Old Mill House

In the heart of the Northumberland countryside, this newly built lodge is packed with style and modern comforts. Amply sized windows show off the views of rolling fields, while the lofty ceilings and open-plan living area create more than enough space for a small group to get comfortable. Sleek and sophisticated, the kitchen has everything you'll need to rustle up hearty breakfasts and Sunday roasts, best enjoyed around the table alongside a bottle of wine and good conversation. Upstairs, the main suite has oodles of room to relax. We love the balcony – the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee in the fresh air – as well as the freestanding bathtub, which beckons for relaxing soaks after a long walk through the country. And even better, guests will have access to the two hot tubs on-site – ideal for bubbling away under the starry night skies.

Make sure to pack your walking shoes as this section of Northumberland is rife for rambling. A ten-minute drive away lies Belsay Hall, Castle & Gardens, while waterfront pubs along the River Tyne are about a twenty-minute drive. But if you'd like to pick up the pace, Newscastle is reachable in thirty minutes by car –  an excellent option for day trips.

By the Light of the Moon

Nestled in Northumberland's medieval market town of Alnwick, surrounded by country fields, traditional pubs and independent shops, this classic cottage is the perfect cosy retreat for two or a small family. Boasting a decked patio, begin the day by sipping your coffee in the crisp morning air, before heading out to explore.

Beyond the charming stone facade, you’ll find a homey living room where comfortable furnishings, soft tones and a wood-burning fireplace keeps things warm and inviting. Plenty of natural light pours in throughout the home, including the dining room. The kitchen continues the cottage feel with its sage green colour palette and cream cupboards. And lastly, the bedrooms are cosy havens, so you'll relish returning home from a busy day spent discovering the local area for a restful night's sleep.

Heart of Stone

Welcome to a nest of comfort nestled in the friendly market town of Alnwick. Imagine an inviting oasis that comfortably hosts four guests, making it perfect for both family relaxation or a joyous gathering of friends. This flat's charm is all-encompassing, offering an open plan for living, dining and cooking, enveloped in homely warmth you'll immediately fall in love with. Adventure seekers and those desiring rest alike find respite here. The two bedrooms offer a restful retreat following a day exploring Alnwick's breath-taking vicinity. For our younger guests or those young at heart, a dedicated game cupboard beckons, offering delightful distraction. When you yearn for some outdoor time, step into the fenced yard outfitted with outdoor furniture, your private haven under perfect Northumberland skies.
