Photos and Description of the Northumberland vacation cottage rental

The Longknowe is a comfortable, fully renovated, stone cottage in a magnificent Northumbrian setting. It sits on its own in an isolated valley. It makes a wonderful self catering holiday let for summer or winter. It works well as a peaceful retreat for a couple or small family (with a substantial reduction in rental, except in high season) or it can accommodate several generations or 2 families. At all times you have sole occupancy of the site. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with power showers, an AGA, two small sitting rooms, a large farmhouse kitchen and open fires. You can rent 2 or 4 bedrooms. It is 7 miles to the nearest shop, 15 miles to the open, sandy beaches of North Northumberland and within striking distance of Hadrian's Wall or Edinburgh. The Farne Islands are close by. On a clear night the stars shine brilliantly. You can cycle or walk into the hills from the front door. We are happy to accept one dog by prior agreement.

The Longknowe is a renovated stone cottage sitting in the Northumberland National Park in one of the last great wilderness areas of England. It is a walker's paradise, close to a number of trails, including the Pennine Way, three major iron age hill forts are nearby. The valley itself is home to curlew, red kites, swallows, otters, badgers, hares and deer. It is about 15 miles from the tidal holy island of Lindisfarne, with the rest of the Northumbrian coast nearby, including Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles. It is around 40 minutes from Alnwick Garden and Castle. Hadrians Wall is about 50 miles away and Edinburgh can be reached in under two hours. The nearest country towns are Wooler and Coldstream, both have good shops with fresh local produce. In the immediate area there is gliding at Milfield and horse riding for all levels. There is a steam railway nearby and a working mill. But most of all Longknowe is a place to enjoy open space and tranquillity, whatever the season.
