“Very clean, well maintained cottage in a magical location.”
The owners were friendly and welcoming. The farm is teeming with domesticated and wild animals, lovely walks from the front door and a river nearby. If our children were a bit older we'd have attempted Yeavering Bell which is right in front of the cottage. The nearest village, Wooler, is sweet and had everything we needed. This part of Northumbria is very unspoiled, but there's lots to do.

The property
Croft Cottage, a former stone barn, is part of a most attractive range of farm buildings which has been skilfully converted to retain its charm and character. It is peacefully situated on a working farm in Yeavering, 4 miles from the historic town of Wooler, within the Northumberland National Park. There are splendid views all round and the River Glen close by provides excellent fishing. Visitors are welcome to walk round the farm, where a wealth of wildlife is to be seen whilst the numerous footpaths and old drove roads in the area provide for outstanding walking, horse riding and mountain biking. The wonderful Northumberland coast is within easy reach. Horse riding and mountain bike hire is available locally.

About the location
WOOLER
Berwick-upon-Tweed 16 miles; Bamburgh 15 miles; Alnwick 18 miles.
Wooler is a delightful, historic market town on the banks of the River Till, one of the tributaries of the Tweed, nestling in the foothills of the Cheviots which form part of the Pennine Way. Known locally as 'The Gateway to The Cheviots', Wooler has a selection of hotels and eating places and offers a magnificent location for exploring the whole of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Situated on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, Wooler is just a short drive away from the historic town of Alnwick with its famous Castle and Gardens, and the well preserved Garrison town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Chillingham Castle with its ancient herd of wild white cattle and Coldstream, just over the Scottish border, are also a short drive away.
