Stretch furry legs on exhilarating walks through Northumberland when you stay at this welcoming cottage. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, stone hideaway is set in scenic countryside, 6 miles from Haltwhistle, and 3 miles from the magnificent North Pennines. It is also just 2 miles from Hadrian's Wall where you can stride out on the long-distance footpath beside the historic landmark.

Check for muddy paws on the stone doorstep then take your chum into the kitchen/diner. Dine at the table and perhaps watch your favourite show on the Smart TV before moving through to the lounge where there is a soft rug for your happy hound to flop onto. Recline in comfort yourselves on the soft seating, play a game or listen to music. There is also another Smart TV in here. Fire up the wood burner to toast chilly paws and feet during the colder season. Say goodnight to your four-pawed pal then head off to bed. A double bedroom, which is connected to a Jack and Jill shower room, is located on the ground floor. The other two bedrooms, a king-size, with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin, with an en-suite shower room, are upstairs. Take your chum for a quick country stroll in the morning then return to soak up the sunshine at the table in front of the south-facing cottage. There is private, off-road parking for three cars.

Venture straight outside to find scenic footpaths through the Northumberland National Park. Take your furry walking companion with you to explore Housesteads Roman Fort, 2.5 miles away, and set on the dramatic Whin Sill escarpment.

A lovely house in an idyllic position, and it was a privilege as well as a pleasure to stay right next to the Vindolanda fort and see at close hand the preservation and archaeological survey work which continues apace. Walks in stunning scenery are close at hand and we hardly needed the car at all during the week. We must also mention the superbly Read morewelcome from EVERYONE we met from the Vindolanda team but wed especially like to mention Ian (a volunteer) and the thrush who sang to us all day, every day.

A perfect peaceful cottage with views of the fort and a babbling brook out front. Cottage was cosy and was plenty big enough for the five of us to spread out. A great place to explore all things Roman around Hadrian's Wall.

This cottage is perfect all round. It is spacious, clean and well equipped. The location is perfect for exploring Hadrians Wall and the gem that is Vindolanda, within the added bonus of free entry which we made great use of. The house is in a peaceful green area steeped in Roman history. Its by far the best cottage we have stayed in.
