    “Our second visit to Shepherds Burn and just as good.”

    The property is very spacious with comfortable furnishings, comfy bed and high quality bedding. It was super clean and well maintained, with a well equipped kitchen and a large enclosed rear garden. It is remote but so very peaceful and a lovely place to relax and unwind. You can walk from the door or pleasant riverside walks from nearby Bellingham. The ‘Tea Train’ cafe well worth a visit. The owner Simon is friendly but not intrusive and thumbs up to Jess the cleaner.

About the location

BELLINGHAM

Kielder Water 7 miles; Hadrian's Wall 12 miles; Corbridge 18 miles; Hexham 19 miles.

Known as the ‘capital’ of the North Tyne Valley, this delightful town of natural stone houses nestles close to the banks of the River North Tyne. Said to be sited on a Roman station, the charming market town has much of interest, including a 12th century church, heritage centre and 30ft waterfall, just to the north. It’s also on the edge of the Northumberland National Park and is just a short drive from Hadrian’s Wall and Kielder Water and Forest. Suitable for year-round holidays, this unspoilt area with its fishing, horse riding, abundant wildlife and superb walking country is a nature lover’s dream. There is a superb golf course close by and the area has abundant historical sites, stately homes and famous gardens.

Note: Due to river on site, children must be supervised at all times.

Note: This property does NOT have an electric vehicle charging point. If you wish to charge your electric vehicle via a three-pin domestic plug socket, permission will need to be granted in advance by the owner and a supplementary charge of £35.00 will need to be paid in advance of your arrival.
