  • "A fantastic find."

    The immediate local area is well served with pubs, shops and eateries. Really friendly and helpful host and locals. It is a place that is ideally situated for walking. We never needed to use our car once all week. The cottage is within rambling distance of Hadrian's Wall and a host of other destinations. The property provides a range of walking guides including 22 local routes detailed in the Haltwhistle Rings series of pamphlets. There is fantastic year round public transport provision (AD 122 bus up and down to all points on the wall) including a well served railway station on the Carlisle to Newcastle line. The cosy cottage is set back from the road and is therefore quiet and secluded, with a small front garden and drive. To the rear of the property is a sheltered terrace overlooking the owners well tended and enclosed garden. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. This is attested to by the many repeat customers detailed in the visitor's book.

  • "Dear Sue and Nick."

    Many thanks for your warm welcome and exceptional hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay in your super cosy cottage, which was a real home from home. Also thanks for your tip regarding the concert at Wallington. Really enjoyed it and it was lovely to see Nick in his element. Should any of our friends and family want to travel to Northumberland in the future we will gladly recommend your place. For now take care until we might meet again. Pascal and Claudia

    Thank you so much for your lovely review of Crescent Cottage, I am so pleased you had such an enjoyable holiday. Nick was delighted you went to Wallington and enjoyed hearing the Northumbrian pipes. Thank you also for your recommendation to friends. We shall be delighted to see you (or them) again sometime. With very best wishes. Sue. Property Owner

    The location was excellent for our needs - digging at Magna and enjoying the shops and walks round the friendly town of Haltwhistle. Such a warm welcome with flowers, lovely scones, cream and home-made jam. The view into the enclosed garden from the kitchen and terrace was a constant pleasure. We plan to return.

    I particularly appreciated the easy parking and access to the garage for my bicycle. The cottage was very quiet but is in the town centre with Sainsbury’s about 4 minutes walk away. The town is well connected with bus services east and west and a surprisingly frequent service in both directions from the railway station. With nearby Hadrian’s wall and pleasant countryside Haltwhistle is great holiday destination. I would definitely recommend.

    It sounded interesting and it didn't disappoint. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable and very well appointed. There was nothing that we thought would have been nice to have but didn't and in fact I had taken several things I didn't need as they were provided. Sue and Nick were excellent hosts. They live next door and so are on hand to help with any problems (though we didn't have any). They are very friendly and willing to help with advice if asked but also give guests the space to enjoy their holiday. Haltwhistle is a great little town with a lot of amenities for its size and good rail and bus links. Its an excellent base for walking or exploring Hadrian's Wall territory. My husband was excavating at Vindolanda and the location of the cottage was perfect for this.

The property

A charming character cottage circa 1750s, offering superb upside down accommodation, in the small market town of Haltwhistle, which offers excellent local shops and a real ale pub.

The scenic Haltwhistle Burn gorge, which leads up to the Roman wall (2 miles away), is just a 3 minute walk from the cottage.

The property has been sympathetically modernised to an extremely high standard, and includes a spacious first floor sitting room with dining area, two comfortable ground floor bedrooms and a sun-trap patio overlooking the owner's walled garden.

An ideal base from which to explore Hadrian's Wall, the North Pennines and Hexham, whilst Kielder Water, Alnwick Castle and the Northumberland coast are further away.

Haltwhistle is also within easy reach of Carlisle, the Lake District and Dumfries and Galloway.

A fabulous property for a relaxing and varied break at any time of year!

About the location

HALTWHISTLE

Hexham 17 miles.

Known as the 'Centre of Britain', this small market town is a great place from which to explore both Northumberland and Cumbria. Haltwhistle boasts a good range of shops and pubs - one of which, The Black Bull, is a real ale pub serving good food! There is an excellent leisure centre with heated open air swimming pool and cycle hire in the town, with pony trekking nearby. One of the best preserved stretches of Hadrian's Wall is only a mile to the north with various museums, forts and milecastles to be seen. There is even an ongoing 'dig' at the nearby site of Vindolanda. This truly is magnificent walking, riding and cycling country, with the Pennine Way and various bridleways and cycle routes passing rivers, forests, castles and of course, Hadrian's Wall. Visitors will enjoy this location in all weather and all seasons – a regular train and bus service from the town to Newcastle, The Metro Centre and Carlisle, means that you can leave the car behind and enjoy!
