Would like to point out that the cottage is very clean and comfortable but it is located on the main road which has a lot of hgv wagons passing, which starts early in the mornings.

We are glad you found the cottage comfortable. The road is an A road and is normally quiet, unfortunately during your stay there was a diversion in place. There is another lovely pub within 1 mile of the cottage.

Powburn is 9 miles from Alnwick and it is very easy to get to Alnwick. Would recommend Crastor for a day trip. We went to Morpeth for an afternoon. Again an easy drive from the cottage. Would stay again bid the opportunity arose again. Very happy with my stay.

“An excellent cottage. Very ...”

An excellent cottage. Very comfortable and centrally located for visiting the Northumberland National Park, coastline and the Border's region of Scotland. The facilities at the cottage were well provided and the overall standard of the cottage was excellent. The only small negative was the road noise from passing traffic, although after a few days it faded into the background.

“The cottage was very comfortable ...”

The cottage was very comfortable with a home from home feeling cooking facilities were very good, utensils all we needed, beds,bed linen and bathroom facilities all very good. In house entertainment with televisions, dvds and PS3 all very good too. In total a lovely cottage in a good location to explore the area. My only very minor disappointment was that there was no wifi available.

The property

A cosy end-terrace property in the rural village of Powburn, nine miles from Alnwick.

This lovely cottage is ideal for couples or small families wanting a countryside break in the heart of the beautiful county of Northumberland.

Set just four miles east of the Northumberland National Park, this property is set over two floors, with one twin and one king-size double bedroom on the first floor, whilst the bathroom is on the ground floor.

The open plan living area is perfect for family holidays; what could be better than preparing supper and chatting around the kitchen table.

On those chillier Northumbrian nights, why not get the woodburner going and curl up and relax with your loved ones?

There is also a small sun room to the front of the cottage which is perfect for storing coats and boots.

There are a number of walks from the doorstep with the Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park tantalisingly close and are just waiting to be explored.

Alnwick Castle and Gardens are just ten miles away whilst a little further afield, the beautiful Heritage Coastline with castles galore will provide a wealth of history and endless beaches.

A perfect cottage for a countryside break.
