A very well equipped cottage with everything you need and in a peaceful setting. It's near to the shops in Rothbury, (down a very steep field - if you decide to walk!), of which there are a good number and variety for the size of the place. It's also a good base for exploring that area of Northumberland. We walked part of Hadrian's Wall, also Lord Armstrong's carriageway and up to and along the ridge of Simonside Hills. We also had walks in Kielder Forest, from Beadnell to the Ship Inn in Low Newton and along the beach from Bamburgh to Seahouses. We'd previously visited Crag Side a couple of times but that is very near and well worth a visit.
