This detached holiday home stands in a stunning location, with wonderful views of the Tyne Valley and North Cumbrian fells. Set in the Northumbrian National Park, the location is excellent for exploring the spectacular scenery of the north of England, the Scottish borderland, and the Lake District, which is just an hour away. The cottage is ideally placed for visiting the Roman forts along the World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall, including Housesteads and Vindolanda, or Chesters where you can explore how the Romans lived. After you have finished donning your toga and training to be a centurion, you can retire to modern day comfort of Hadrian’s Garden Villa, relax in front of the wood burner and look out over the beautiful views in the open plan living space with decorative oak plank flooring. As night draws in, it is worth stepping outside onto the south-facing patio, surrounded by planting and including views over the valley, to enjoy the non-light polluted dark skies and be stunned by all the stars. Complete with plenty of seating and a summerhouse.
There is a number of good golf courses within easy reach, including Hexham, which is described as one of the finest in the north of England, and Brampton which is the ‘jewel in the crown’ of Cumbria. There is storage for your bike at the property, so you can make the most of the local rugged landscapes. The landscape is equally good on foot, or to walk your dog, why not take a wander to Sycamore Gap and see the most photographed, iconic tree from the movie ‘Robin Hood’? On the way back, grab a pint or something to eat at the local inn.
Nearby towns include Hexham, a popular, historic market town which boasts a stunning abbey, the oldest gaol in the country, and an abundance of shops, restaurants and pubs. In addition, why not visit the beautiful Roman town of Corbridge or its fort, browse its boutique shops, art galleries and antique shops, or take a stroll along the river. Also within easy reach is Haltwhistle, the ‘Geographic Centre of Britain’, which has a sports centre and outdoor heated swimming pools, and Burn Gorge. Henshaw, ½ mile, and Hexham, 10 miles. Garage/shop ½ mile, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

Home from home and more besides! Fabulous views and all the home comforts you could possibly want. If the weather was good then you could sit outside at one of the many seating areas. If it was cooler the Wi-Fi and home entertainment was better than anything we have at home, so a real taste of luxury living. Out and about we did all things Roman - Housesteads, Violanda, Hadrian's Wall itself, Hexham and Corbridge. We also really enjoyed a swim session at the Haltwhistle Lido.All ways round, a thoroughly enjoyable time.

We had a fantastic stay at Hadrian's Garden Villa. The cottage was immaculately cleaned and there was a lovely welcome pack with wine and treats when we arrived. The cottage was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. All bedrooms were very spacious with comfortable beds and the livingroom / kitchen area was also spacious and relaxing to just chill out with a book. The views over the Northumberland countryside were breathtaking. We have a dog and he had plenty of outside area (paddock) to run around and explore off lead, which was also private and for our exclusive use. The owners provided a lot of information in advance about the surrounding area and about the cottage amenities, which was much appreciated. There was also plenty of information about tourist attractions, pubs, restaurants and the local area in the cottage. There wasn't really anything in walking distance unless you're willing to walk for over 45 minutes, but we were happy driving so not an issue for us.
