    “We had a 3 night stay in Swinhope View.”

    The listing on Sykes website was accurate. The steps up to the cottage from the road were ok for us as it was dry throughout our stay, but can imagine it might be tricky if wet as last “step” to road was just grass. This would become muddy in the rain making it difficult. Inside the cottage, the steps to kitchen are deep, as described, and need care. Maybe a hand rail on one side might help?

    The listing on Sykes website was accurate. The steps up to the cottage from the road were ok for us as it was dry throughout our stay, but can imagine it might be tricky if wet as last “step” to road was just grass. This would become muddy in the rain making it difficult. Inside the cottage, the steps to kitchen are deep, as described, and need care. Maybe a hand rail on one side might help? Having got the “negatives” out of the way, we had a fantastic stay. The cottage is set in a most idyllic spot with amazing views from the front. Inside is comfortable and you will find the basics you need. Both beds were very comfortable and the shower was good too. We drove to Alston one day and then onto Middleton on Teesdale. The scenery was beautiful, a lovely route. The following day was spent at the cottage, relaxing, watching the rabbits playing on the field opposite. We were also visited by a hare (we think, as he was much bigger), who came and sat outside the kitchen window for ages. We really had to drag ourselves away from this cottage, and its environs, and would love to go back again for a longer stay. Thank you.

The property

Allendale 6.1 miles.

Swinhope View, a quaint, two-bedroom cottage settled in the rural village of Sparty Lea a few miles from Allendale, Northumberland.

Sporting a well-presented interior with off-road parking and a myriad of scenic walks from the door, Swinhope View is an excellent base for families or two couples eager to escape everyday life and discover what Northumberland has to offer.

Enter into the sitting room, complete with beams and a woodburning stove for a gentle warmth in the winter months, TV.

Move into the kitchen, well-appointed to assist with home-cooked meals, to be enjoyed at the dining table.

Find comfort in either of the bedrooms, both offering double beds and situated upstairs and downstairs, whilst the shower room is the place for a freshen up.

Enjoy a cup of tea as you sit on the garden bench, gazing over the idyllic fields to soon be explored.

If its some hearty grub and ales you're after, just three miles away lies the Allenheads Inn, whilst your closest supermarket can be found in Allendale, six miles north.

Head to Allendale Brewery and sample a range of local ales, whilst those keen golfers will find an excellent course nearby, plus there are many places of historic interest including Hadrian’s Wall just to the north.

Make your way to the bustling city of Newcastle and discover the Newcastle Castle, the Stephenson Steam Railway, and the Discovery Museum.

If you’d prefer to stay closer to home, lace up your walking boots and explore the surrounding footpaths and walkways.

However you choose to spend your time, a break at Swinhope View has everything for a rural retreat to Northumberland.

About the location

HEXHAM

Newcastle 22 miles.

A bustling little market town, Hexham has several antique shops and is popular with tourists visiting nearby Hadrian’s Wall. Beautiful old Hexham Abbey dates back to the 7th century and has a superb Saxon crypt. Shoppers flock to colourful stalls in The Shambles in the Market Place on Tuesday and close by is the 14th century Moot Hall, now an art gallery. The town boasts plenty of open spaces, particularly the Sele next to the abbey, which is now a lovely public park. Nearby is Tyne Green - a riverside country park - and Hexham Race Course is just to the south of the town.
