Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Bellingham, Northumberland

A quaint and cosy cottage in a beautiful location with plenty of outside space. With two bedrooms, sleeping up to four people, guests will love a stay here with so many walks, cycle trails and other local attractions to see. When returning from exploring the area on a day out, guests can relax in the garden with private wood fired hot tub, pergola and BBQ.

The cottage itself is set out over a single-storey with a kitchen and diner which enjoys views out to the pretty garden. For the times you are not enjoying food at a local restaurant, the kitchen has everything you need to cater for your group. You can choose to eat indoors at the kitchen table, or outside under the pergola on the deck.

If you’re tired from a day out exploring, the lounge is a great place to relax in front of a cosy wood burner set in a stone, inglenook fireplace. There are yet more views from this room, but also a TV. The property’s two bedrooms are both doubles.

One even has a four-poster bed. They too have views of the surrounding countryside, while a family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside the lovely garden surrounds the cottage on three sides.

At the front, there is a picnic-style table and seating. To the rear, you will discover the private wood-fired hot tub, perfect for soothing those achy limps after a day of activities. There is a raised area with garden furniture placed under the pagoda with fairy lights and a charcoal BBQ for fun, alfresco dining, and drinks or a lazy evening gazing at the stars.

Within 2 miles of the cottage is the village of Bellingham. It has a wide range of shops, pubs and cafes, which are great for discovering while on holiday. There are so many tranquil walks right from the cottage’s doorstep - particularly along the River Rede.

A walk to Hareshaw Linn to see the stunning waterfall is a must see, and can be started from Bellingham. Kielder Water and Forest Park is 10 miles away which has a plethora of outdoor activities.
