Photos and Description of the Northumberland vacation rental One bedroom cottage in peaceful rural setting, surrounded by farmland.

Common House Farm commands spectacular elevated south facing views over the South Tyne Valley in the heart of Hadrian's Wall country, surrounded by farmland and on the edge of Northumberland National Park. The river South Tyne is amongst the best salmon rivers in the country and there are top-class golf courses nearby. Situated on the edge of Northumberland National Park and within of the North Pennine AONB, we are perfectly placed for exploring one of the least populated counties in England - Northumberland. Getting away from it all must have been invented with Common House Farm in mind, where our winning combination of wild spectacular scenery and superb accommodation sets us apart. Our customers return year after year. We are fully equipped for year round holidays and short breaks. With modern kitchens, double glazing and unrestricted hot water and heating courtesy of our environmentally friendly bio-mass boiler, you are guaranteed a warm and comfortable stay.

The Wallace Arms is ideally located within easy cycling distance along the South Tyne trail and it is possible to walk across the fields from your cottage to the Twice Brewed Inn.

Further details for this vacation rental in Northumberland, United Kingdom

Whilst only a little over half an hour along the A69 from Carlisle (M6) and Newcastle (A1), Common House Farm feels a world away from the stresses of modern life. A mile's walk away from one of the best preserved sections of Hadrian's Wall and with beautiful rural walks along the Tyne Valley or into Kielder Forest, where better to escape and unwind? Our cottage is warm and well equipped - it has recently been fitted with modern oak-effect double glazing and the views from the lounge mean that whatever the time of year, it is possible to relax and enjoy your holiday here in comfort. Depending upon the season, young lambs can be seen in the field in front of the cottages; curlew, the symbol of Northumberland National park, are to be heard calling accross the valley; heather turns the North Pennine Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty purple on the hillside opposite. Even watching the weather blowing up the valley can be exciting from the cosy shelter of your cottage.

Our nearest shops are approximately 2 miles away in the market town of Haltwhistle, whilst slightly further afield is the abbey town of Hexham; for the more dedicated shopper, Newcastle and the Metro Centre are a short drive or train ride away. Should you feel inclined to explore beyond our immediate vicinity, the Lake District, the dramatic Northumberland coast and the Scottish borders are all within an hour's drive.
