  • "The tap in the bathroom was very noisy and banging."

    Wood was supplied for the fire however they asked you not to use wood ??? The house was very cold when we arrived. It took 4 days to get it warm, totally get it was storage heating but leaving windows open during a very cold period, we had snow and ice.

  • "Lovely cottage in a lovely location perfect for our week away"

  • "Lovely cottage in a lovely place."

    The cottage was beautiful and very cosy. The property was very dog friendly with an enclosed garden. The Lion House in Allendale is really good for a Sunday dinner. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful trip away, nice villages close by and Hexham is also close. The cottage has good facilities for cooking and it was really nice to have a working fire.

  • "The cottage itself was a beautiful Property and has been Lovingly preserved by ..."

    The cottage itself was a beautiful Property and has been Lovingly preserved by its owners whom we read it has been in the family for generations, The surroundings are also a delight and a bonus for dog owners and Walkers, Unfortunately we did not experience a quiet and relaxing stay whatsoever due to the adjoining neighbour having obviously ongoing building works done, this caused noise from Monday to the Friday, and terrible dust in the kitchen if we dared to open the door, this same neighbour has two dogs, one is constantly barking you can hear it though the walls day and night, and it's ready and waiting for you to dare open the back door, we tried to creep out many times with no luck Bearing in mind the building works going on the property shouldn't have been let out at the current time , Also it's worth noting that the property on the left side of the cottage is derelict, so not the desired kerb appeal we expected what with building bags and vans on the other side We have brought these matters to the attention of sykes and because the building work wasn't being undertaken in the property that we rented they where pretty unhelpful, The owner should be fully aware of these issues, as we did not on any level enjoy the peaceful holiday that we paid for

  • "This was our second visit to Englewood and it won't be the last."

    Lovely relaxing week in a fantastic location. Our two labs love the enclosed garden which is a big bonus.

  • "This was our second stay at Englewood Cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed it once again."

    The cottage is lovely - cosy, well-equipped and very dog friendly. The surrounding area is beautiful, perfect for relaxing walks and the neighbours are friendly and welcoming. A peaceful getaway in a great location. We’d definitely recommend it and hope to return again soon!

The property

Englewood Cottage has been successfully available with Sykes Cottages for over 32 years and is a welcoming pet-friendly cottage in Allenheads, Northumberland.

Ideal for families this pet-friendly abode features a multi-fuel stove, lovely rural views and enclosed garden.

Parking the car just outside Englewood Cottage, the atmosphere immediately feels calm and open, with wide moorland rolling away in every direction and the quiet of the Allenheads landscape settling in around you, while the stone-built terrace sits comfortably within its surroundings, hinting at its long history and the slower pace of life you’re stepping into.

Entering the cottage, the sense of heritage is clear, with thick stone walls and well-proportioned rooms reflecting its 1854 origins, inviting you to set bags down, open a window to the fresh moorland air, and begin to unwind as the day softens around you.

Moving through the accommodation, the spaces feel generous and easy to live in, allowing you to cook, gather, and relax together without effort, with original charm woven naturally into everyday moments and the furnishings supporting comfort rather than competing with the setting.

To the rear, a shared pathway leads you gently out of the cottage and towards the private garden, creating a gradual transition from indoors to open space, where the garden runs down towards a small stream whose gentle movement brings a constant, soothing soundtrack.

This is a place to step out with a morning drink, wander down towards the water, or pause as the light shifts across the surrounding moorland, with the cultivated garden blending seamlessly into the wider landscape beyond.

Days out within easy reach offer memorable experiences for families and friends alike, from Killhope Lead Mining Museum where you can explore historic buildings, walk the open hills around the site, and gain a hands-on sense of the area’s industrial past, to the market town of Hexham where independent shops line the streets, the abbey rises quietly at the centre, and riverside walks offer space to stretch your legs, while Hadrian’s Wall invites you to walk along ancient stone remains, take in sweeping views across open countryside, and imagine the lives once lived along the edge of the Roman world.

Englewood Cottage is a place to slow down and soak it all in.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
