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.

We really enjoyed our weekend at the villa and wished it had been for a longer stay. When I made the booking, Stan the owner was really helpful. Sending over lots of useful information before we arrived. We were impressed by the villa. It had everything we needed and more to make our stay memorable! Very clean and well furnished villa with a generous welcome gift. Super comfy bed and great showers. Handy for visiting Hadrians Wall and other areas as there’s good connection via A69. There is tons of information on hand in the villa with a huge selection of tourist leaflets available. The massive patio area receives the sun all day and has so many different sitting areas! Including some around the edge of the property. We felt the garden was very safe for children and dogs and our dog loved the paddock behind the house. We were able to walk to the Sill and to the Twice Brewed pub next door. Both really worth a visit. Love this area. So much to see and do!Highly recommended. We would love to return. Thank you Stan.
