The property

Thimble is a Grade II listed, single-storey property that offers a romantic country life experience that has the most spectacular quirky interior design, portraying each room as a unique masterpiece.

With peacocks wandering nearby and red squirrel and deer in the woods Thimble is perfectly suited to couples who like the style and feel of a traditional countryside lodge.

Each room has been lovingly styled and guests can look forward to staying in an authentic countryside lodge setting.

Quirky features abound with wood panelling, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring and mullioned windows helping to create a wonderfully traditional vibe.

The stylish sitting room is tastefully furnished and with the addition of the woodburning stove offers a really relaxing and welcoming ambience.

The kitchen is just as well-presented with soft blues and bright reds combining together to make the room equally inviting.

The designated chef will be more than happy to spend time here whipping up food for that special someone with an elegant dining area located here too, where you can imagine pulling up a chair for a delicious, intimate meal for two.

Outside, there is a patio table and chairs all ready for you to spend time alfresco while soaking up the simply sublime views over the country estate.

When it’s time for bed, make your way to the opulent master bedroom decorated in period hues and with the addition of an open fire and a wall-mounted TV is the perfect spot for chilling out together.

The stylish bathroom boasts an impressive roll-top bath, so make sure to find time for a rejuvenating soak while you’re here.

Get out and about exploring the Lemmington Hall estate while you’re staying at Thimble and you’ll be rewarded with some fantastic views of open countryside and lush woodlands.

The town of Alnwick is nearby and is dominated by its stunning castle and gardens which boasts Europe’s largest cascading water feature.

The castle’s other claim to fame is that it was the setting for Hogwarts School as featured in the Harry Potter films.

The town also has a good selection of shops and amenities as well as miles of beaches to explore.

Nearby coastal towns worth visiting include Alnmouth, Seahouses, Warkworth and Beadnell with trips to Farne Islands popular where you can look out for unusual birds and even seals.

Other attractions include Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland Country Zoo and Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery.

If you want to get active then have a go at golf at Alnmouth Golf Course, horse-riding at Slate Hall Riding Centre or surfing at Bamburgh Castle Beach, or just head out for a hike anywhere along the Heritage Coastline and you won’t be disappointed.

Thimble offers unique and charming accommodation making it the perfect destination for a romantic getaway for you and your loved one.

About the location

ALNWICK

  • Alnmouth 4 miles
  • Bamburgh 15 miles
  • Rothbury 10 miles

The attractive and historic market town of Alnwick is dominated by Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland. The Castle Gardens, opened in 2002, are home to Europe's largest cascading water feature, a fabulous (and enormous) treehouse, a delightful rose garden and a beautiful, walled ornamental garden, which will delight novice and experienced gardeners alike. The castle is also famous as the setting for Hogwarts School featured in the Harry Potter films! The town's narrow streets have seen little change since the days when the London to Edinburgh stage coach passed through and the Market Place, with its stone cross, is still the central feature and the ideal venue for the weekly Saturday market. Alnwick offers a good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat and there is plenty to see and do, with miles of golden sandy beaches, numerous castles and boat trips to the famous Farne Islands all available nearby. Altogether a superb location for exploring Northumberland and its stunning Heritage Coastline.
