Description

Enveloped by open countryside, near the village of Ponteland in a superb region of Northumberland, is Fenwick Lodge, a Grade ll Listed Building, the former gatehouse to Matfen Hall.

Head through the church-style entrance hall, which has an exquisite tiled floor, arched windows and the original front door welcoming you inside.
You can fully relax within the cosy sitting area on return from one of your many adventures, the open-plan living room is rather spacious with everything you could possibly need in a self-catering holiday let.
Cook up a romantic meal in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy a candlelit dinner at the dining table before climbing up to bed later in the evening.
When you have finished dining, why not take the opportunity to gaze up to the stars?

What guests are saying
This is a beautiful property in a lovely location, well equipped for self catering and extremely comfortable.
The location is perfect for visiting Northumberland and we managed to do everything we wanted to. The hosts are very responsive to guests’ needs, present when you need them to be but not intrusive. Highly recommended.
The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped.
It was a bit isolated and to eat out was a minimum of a 15 minute car journey each way as were local supermarkets. This wasn’t made clear in the Sykes description.
Fenwick Retreat is a very comfortable base for exploring Northumberland.
The owners, although on site, were discreet but always available if needed. The house had everything we expected. I would rate it 4.9 out of 5.
