About this property

Nestled in the rural village of Longhorsley you will find The Forge. Beautifully renovated to a high standard, this delightful ground-floor dwelling is perfect for a couple travelling with their canine companions who seek an escape to the Northumberland countryside. Step inside this attractive abode and be welcomed into a bright and airy open-plan living space, decorated with hushed pink tones and pretty white furnishings, together creating a calming environment where you can relax and unwind. Take to the stylish and contemporary kitchen, complete with all the essential appliances and utensils needed to prepare a hearty home-cooked dinner including a sleek electric oven and hob, and a spacious fridge/freezer for storing all of your ingredients. Indulge with a romantic dinner for two at the white wood dining table, before taking the evening out into the garden and enjoying a refreshing glass of bubbly as the sun sets on another fantastic day in Northumberland. Settle down for the evening in the inviting king-size bedroom, complete with designer wallpaper and a handy en-suite shower where you can freshen up for the day that lies ahead. In the local area, there is a pub and a village shop (selling newspapers, general store goods and sandwiches) within a two minutes walk, as well as a fish and chip van and a pizza van that park nearby on Thursday and Friday evenings. Grab your walking boots and venture deep into the Northumberland National Park for a scenic stroll through Simonside or a hike in Kielder Water & Forest Park. Explore the well-kept grounds of Brinkburn Priory and Manor House or wander the halls of the imposing mansion of Cragside, once home to Victorian Inventor Lord Armstrong. Travel to Alnwick to see the iconic castle and gardens used as a backdrop in the world-famous Harry Potter series, or spend the day spotting exotic creatures at the Northumberland Country Zoo. Head to the coast to admire vast views of the North Sea, stopping off at vibrant seaside towns and peaceful beaches along the way. Make wonderful memories with your significant other on a romantic retreat to The Forge.

Tucked away in the rolling Northumberland countryside, Felton is a charming and quaint village, home to a well-stocked convenience store and a bustling local pub. Perfectly positioned within reaching distance of both the Northumberland National Park and magnificent coast, there is so much for visitors to see and do in the area. Explore soft sandy beaches and imposing clifftops as you enjoy a scenic stroll along the vast coastline, or be at one with nature with easy-going hike along the Hereshaw Iron Works Trail and through Kielder Water & Forest Park, a pleasant car ride away. Venture into the nearby cities Newcastle upon Tyne to discover captivating museums and fabulous art galleries, or spend your day soaking up the local history with trips to Alnwick Castle and Hadrian's Wall.

    It provides a warm, comfortable place to stay and despite being close to a busy shop and road we did not feel overlooked. Most places we visited in the area were dog friendly and there were excellent walks nearby. The small garden is also secure so there were no worries about our dogs running further than they should. We would definitely recommend The Forge to couples with or without dogs wanting to visit the area.

    And ideal spot for getting around

  • Ian

    The national park and coast being only short drives away. The village The cottage is in is quiet, with a cracking deli type shop across the road. Even better that I could take my 4 dogs too. All types of fishing nearby. This is my second stay at the forge, I would certainly stay again.
