This charming stone-built cottage in picturesque Northumberland is perfect for those looking for a peaceful getaway. The spacious sitting room features a wood-burning stove, ideal for cosying up on cooler evenings, while the well-equipped kitchen and separate snug area make this cottage feel like a home away from home. Outside, guests can enjoy a sunny patio with garden table and chairs, plus there’s a stone outbuilding for storing bikes. Exploring the area, Bamburgh is a twelve-minute drive away (or a half-hour cycle) and the closest pub is three miles away.
