Enjoy walking, hiking, and cycling directly from the doorstep, including Kirknewton Hillfort Trail. Ad Gefrin and Yeavering Bell are just a short distance away, look out for the wild Cheviot goats roaming the local hillsides. The attractive market town of Wooler is 5.5 miles where you’ll find a fantastic range of independent shops on the bustling high street, and a great choice of pubs, cafes, and restaurants.

The best dog friendly cottage we have ever stayed at, everything you could ever need and more! Perfectly placed around 30 minutes from all the attractions you could want to visit, which was just perfect for us. Quiet, beautiful garden, super comfy reclining sofas too, it even had an air fryer and slow cooker, a real home from home x
