    “A well-equipped country cottage with scenic views immediately across a country road from the village public house and restaurant called The Crown.”

    (The Crown is only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and we took advantage of their menu, beer and wines. We would say to anyone thinking of holidaying at 'Skohaven' cottage in Catton, that the accommodation is comfortable and equipped with most utensils/items that would be needed for a holiday away from the "madding crowds" The Bathroom in particular has all anyone needs with bath and shower.

    (The Crown is only open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and we took advantage of their menu, beer and wines. We would say to anyone thinking of holidaying at 'Skohaven' cottage in Catton, that the accommodation is comfortable and equipped with most utensils/items that would be needed for a holiday away from the "madding crowds" The Bathroom in particular has all anyone needs with bath and shower. The special gift by the owner of fresh farm eggs, biscuits, bread and milk was gratefully received by us. 'Skohaven' is located quite central to Carlisle in the West and Newcastle/Whitley Bay eastwards. Therefore we found it an easy journey both ways to visit various villages and towns such as Corbridge and then onto Houseteads Fort (Roman settlement) plus Hexham - a countryside town that has almost everything; both for shopping and sightseeing. Hexham Abbey is worth visiting and has it's own cafe .It retains it's own Country park which sits alongside the river Tyne. Southwards from Catton is Allendale Village (quaint but pubs only open Friday/Saturday. Hexham has many cafe's and restaurants to visit and it is only approximately 8 miles away. We visited Derwent Water Reservoir. All in all I would recommend 'Skohaven' cottage if you are wishing for a 'get-away-from-it-all' restful holiday. P.S. The locals are so kind, informative and helpful

The property

A homely cottage with a fabulous interior situated in the village of Catton, a lovely location with a sense of charm. Ideal for couples or friends, this retreat is a comfortable base to return to after a day of adventure with your loved ones. Upon entering, you will arrive into a freshly designed kitchen, elevated by its excellent features and marble effect which graces the worktops. After preparing your favourite meals wander into the lounge/diner, a wonderful spot to relax on the deep coloured sofas or at the table which seats up to four people. With the addition of a woodburner, you can enjoy the warm ambience all-year-round. The next floor leads up to a modern bathroom tied together with a freestanding bath and a separate shower, so you can get ready in the way that suits you. Choose from two bedrooms for a peaceful night’s sleep, two doubles are classically presented with a splash of colour. The first includes hanging space for clothes, whilst the second benefits from a wardrobe, set of drawers and a modern desk for you to make use of. After enjoying the interior, why not take a moment to rest on the furniture outside and appreciate your location, or wander into the village, which houses a charming pub serving the finest food. Catton is ideally placed for access to Carlisle to the West, Hexham to the East or the Roman Wall just to the North. There are lots of walks and unspoilt villages in the surrounding North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, turning this into an exceptional holiday experience.

About the location

CATTON

Allendale 1.5 miles; Hexham 9 miles; Allenheads 9 miles; Newcastle 32 miles.

The village of Catton, with a pub that serves food, is situated less than two miles from the town of Allendale in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town of Allendale was once the centre of a busy lead mining area, and many relics of the mining era remain around the area. Catton is ideally placed for access to Carlisle to the west, Hexham to the east or the Roman Wall just to the north. There are lots of walks and unspoilt villages in the surrounding North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is an ideal location for exploring the surrounding countryside or travelling further north to the glorious Heritage Coastline.

Note: pets to be kept downstairs.
