Shaftoe Mews
Description
Shaftoe Mews is a gorgeous and characterful cottage nestled in the pretty village of Haydon Bridge, between Northumberland National Park and North Pennines AONB.
With access to Muckle Moss National Nature Reserve and Hadrian's Wall right on the doorstep, enjoy a quaint break with your family and friends.
This stone cottage oozes character from the open-plan living room, right up to the second-floor bedroom resting under the eaves.
It offers exposed beams, painted stone walls, and period-style furnishings.
The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances in an unusual style.
There is a Welsh dresser housing the crockery and a multi-fuel stove filling the home with warmth on a chilly winter's night.
Relax and unwind on the plush sofas in the sitting area and take in the pretty surroundings.
The first floor plays host to three double bedrooms, one boasting its very own en-suite shower room, whilst the bathroom comes with a bath and a shower over.
On the top floor, you have another double with Velux windows drawing in the natural light and traditional furniture and beams, adding character to the space.
Outside, you have a seating area and off-road parking for one vehicle.
Haydon Bridge has a railway station, riverside walks, pubs, shops, and a tourist information centre.
You have access to the cities of Carlisle and Newcastle via the A69 from the village, where you can explore a variety of attractions, as well as shops, pubs, restaurants, and a thriving nightlife.
Visit Carlisle Castle, its racecourse and cathedral, along with the Life Science Centre and Discovery Museum at Newcastle.
Cross the Tyne Bridge to Gateshead for more shops, pubs, and the Shipley Art Gallery.
Kielder Forest can also be easily reached by car, home to northern Europe's largest man-made lake.
With so much to see and do in the surrounding area, how can you miss an opportunity to stay at Shaftoe Mews.

What guests are saying
Shaftoe Mews is very pretty.
The property was clean and comfortable and the owner was friendly. There were a couple of issues but these were sorted quickly. Our only real gripe was the lack of heating. For the beginning of October it would have been nice for the radiators to have been on, if only to dry the towels in the bathrooms. There were 2 heaters downstairs which took the chill off the room, but no more. There is a log fire, but that was expensive to use. The property is well placed for sightseeing.
An excellent base for exploring the area.
Initially a little difficult to find as it is through a narrow arch & there is only parking space for 1 medium sized car. The cottage was spotless. Not really suitable for children but it was very comfortable for adults. We had some problems with one of the toilets which would only flush after being left overnight but we solved this with a pan of water.
Shaftoe Mews was a comfortable and well equipped base, situated in prime position for exploring, either, in our case, by car or train.
For those interested in our history you are spoilt for choice. Seeing and touching Hadrian's Wall a highlight of our visit, especially for grandson studying history. Being met on arrival by the property owner was a bonus not usually experienced. Thank you from the Bailey family.
