About this property
Nestled in a scenic spot within the village of Belford, is this attractive detached home, Rose Bank. With a traditional interior and a peaceful setting, this inviting abode provides the perfect retreat for families and their four-legged friend looking to escape the rush of everyday life. Enter into the bright and airy conservatory where you can relax and admire those picturesque countryside vistas, best accompanied with a well-deserved glass of wine. Rustle up a tasty afternoon snack in the kitchen, before gathering in the dining room to discuss your plans for the evening ahead. Wander into the traditionally styled lounge where you can sit beside the gas fire and ponder on the holiday thus far, or choose a book from the provided selection and lose yourself in a good read. When the night rolls in, there are three wonderful bedrooms to choose from, including a king-size double and two twins, with one twin on the ground-floor. All bedrooms come up with TVs and ample storage space for your convenience, while a shower room on each floor serves the bedrooms. Venture outside and set the dining table for some alfresco dining, ideal on a balmy evening, while your canine companion roams the lawns. When you’re ready to explore the hidden gems of Northumberland, be sure to visit St Cuthbert’s Chapel, or admire the gorgeous sea views as you enjoy a bit of golfing at the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club. Just outside the village is Swinhoe Farm Riding Centre for those equestrians in the party. Take a trip to the Farne Islands to meet the colony of seals who call the island home and learn of the famous Grace Darling, daughter of the Longstone Lighthouse Keeper. Those Harry Potter fans must stop by Alwick Castle and saunter through the grounds of this normal castle that used to film many iconic scenes in the movie. Keen walkers will enjoy strolling through the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, stopping off at Lindisfarn Priory before visiting the Castle and North Shore along the way. Tick off the attractions of Northumberland from this charming dwelling.

It is comfortable and warm unfortunately for us the fire in the living room was not working but the owner said that it would be fixed as soon as she could get somebody to come. We will definitely return there is lots to see and do in the area and the local people are very friendly and welcoming. Can recommend the pubs in the village. Valerie is a great host and responded quickly to any queries we had. Thanks for a great holiday.

Perfect location for visiting Northumberland - the cottage has amazing views over the countryside. Spotlessly clean with comfy beds and everything you would need in the kitchen - the milk and sweet treats were a nice touch. We wouldnât hesitate to recommend and will definitely be back to visit.
