Serious walkers can amble over to the Simonside Hills. Rothbury is known as the capital of Coquetdale and is ideally located for exploring the nearby villages. Set on the edge of the National Park it is within easy access of the Northumberland Heritage Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and only 12 miles from Alnwick famed for the castle used in some Harry Potter film scenes. The National Park can be easily reached and Kielder has a host of water sports. The drive along the lake is pretty spectacular and the dark skies at night are a big visitor attraction.

A clean, cosy, well-presented bungalow, with everything we needed. Just on the outskirts of a quiet no-through road. Friendly locals. Town is a 10-15 min walk downhill, a bit more coming back up! A good choice of shops and eateries in town. A good base for exploring this lovely area of Northumberland, with plenty of walks on the doorstep. The dog towels came in handy. 360 degree wrap around the property. Lovely seated area in the back garden which catches the sun. Beautiful sunrises from the lounge, and super dark at night so you can see the many stars. We didn’t have our dog in the back garden as there’s a small drop from the lawn to the path, but he enjoyed mooching at the front. Thanks for the goodies. Top marks to Louisa the caretaker, before and after our holiday.
