About Richard Wood
We bought the Hotspur apartment in 2007 so we could use it ourselves as well as offer it as a holiday let. We fell in love with the Northumberland area over the following years as we explored it more and more, so much so that we moved (from Leeds) to Rothbury in 2012. The countryside, coast, towns and villages are beautiful and so varied we never tire of it. There is something for everybody here, whether you enjoy walking, cycling, beach activities, castles, culture, Farne Islands, National Trust and English heritage properties, wildlife and most of all - peace and tranquility!

Lovely, cosy but spacious apartment in an excellent location.
The Hotspur apartment was a fabulous place to stay and wonderful to come home to after a day sight-seeing. It was full of character, yet had lots of modern touches too. Just a 5 minute walk to Alnwick Castle and plenty of food and drink options on your doorstep. We really enjoyed the drive across to the coast to visit both Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh Castles. Would highly recommend to others.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are so pleased you & your family enjoyed your stay in our apartment. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Kind regards,
Julia and Richard
