    “A very comfortable, spacious cottage with charm and character, well fitted-out with all you’d need for a great holiday.”

    A very rural location on a working arable farm, but only a few miles from the village of Ponteland, where there are good shops, restaurants and pubs. The city of Newcastle is easily accessible too, but the real draw is the natural beauty of the Northumberland coast and the unspoiled countryside of the Tyne Valley, Kielder Forest and Water, and the Northumberland National Park, rich in history and castles. Del, the host, was very helpful and friendly, and for us it was a fantastic holiday ...
