    “The cottage was lovely, clean and modern inside and was also a good base for exploring Northumberland.”

    However the only issues I experienced were when the village shop is open people are parking their cars directly outside the cottage gates which makes it very difficult to access the driveway. Also on the Friday a fish n chip van parked on the front and again this made accessing the driveway very difficult because of pedestrians and cars. You could also hear the engine running constantly from inside the cottage even without the windows/doors open.

Beautifully renovated to a high standard, this delightful ground-floor dwelling is perfect for a couple travelling with their canine companions who seek an escape to the Northumberland countryside. Step inside this attractive abode and be welcomed into a bright and airy open-plan living space, decorated with hushed pink tones and pretty white furnishings, together creating a calming environment where you can relax and unwind. Take to the stylish and contemporary kitchen, complete with all the essential appliances and utensils needed to prepare a hearty home-cooked dinner including a sleek electric oven and hob, and a spacious fridge/freezer for storing all of your ingredients. Indulge with a romantic dinner for two at the white wood dining table, before taking the evening out into the garden and enjoying a refreshing glass of bubbly as the sun sets on another fantastic day in Northumberland. Settle down for the evening in the inviting king-size bedroom, complete with designer wallpaper and a handy en-suite shower where you can freshen up for the day that lies ahead. In the local area, there is a pub and a village shop (selling newspapers, general store goods and sandwiches) within a two minutes walk, as well as a fish and chip van and a pizza van that park nearby on Thursday and Friday evenings. Grab your walking boots and venture deep into the Northumberland National Park for a scenic stroll through Simonside or a hike in Kielder Water & Forest Park. Explore the well-kept grounds of Brinkburn Priory and Manor House or wander the halls of the imposing mansion of Cragside, once home to Victorian Inventor Lord Armstrong.

Head to the coast to admire vast views of the North Sea, stopping off at vibrant seaside towns and peaceful beaches along the way.

The delightful village of Felton is set in rural Northumberland, between Morpeth to the south and Alnwick to the north. The village has a shop with a post office, coffee shop, pub and restaurant, and is just 10 miles from Alnwick, with its Castle and now famous Garden, which features Europe's largest cascading water feature, an enormous tree house, a rose garden and an ornamental walled garden. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the "Harry Potter" films! Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby.
