Overview
Property code: CN115

Situated in Belford, a quaint village with local shops and dog-friendly pubs, this property is in a great location for you and your furry companions to enjoy a relaxed time away. Being in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, gorgeous views can be enjoyed from this property. Sleeping up to six people, with two double beds and one twin bedroom, the cottage is perfect for a family holiday. The enclosed garden makes this space ideal for children and dogs to play freely.

A few steps take you up to the entrance of this property and through to the lounge area. The room is spacious, with a cosy corner sofa facing towards the TV and electric fireplace. Spend your evenings relaxing here for a chilled family film night. The kitchen has a contemporary theme with an island worktop providing plenty of space to rustle up a home-cooked meal. With French doors leading out to the enclosed outdoor area, it is easy to dine alfresco if the weather suits. With an outdoor table and chairs to seat six, and more than enough space for the children to play, it is the perfect area to unwind with a drink in hand.

Belford is a quiet village which offers plenty of dog-walking routes. Alnwick Castle (15 miles), known for being the setting for both the Harry Potter and the Downton Abbey series, is a must-see. Whilst in the area, be sure to visit Alnwick Gardens (15.5 miles). With its water sculptures and treehouse restaurant with hanging bridges to climb, there is something for everyone to enjoy here. Closer to home, Bamburgh Castle and beach are just 5.5 miles away and offer scenic views out towards the Farne Islands, with plenty of open space for your pup to roam.

This holiday cottage isn't suitable for young families. There was no kids crockery, and nowhere to store their games etc downstairs. In the photos when we booked there was a swing set in the garden but this had been removed, along with all the usual books and old games left in holiday properties.

Very clean, spacious property which was an easy to live in holiday home. The village provided all your needs, both in food provision (pubs, cafe, farm shop, Co-op) and location (quick access to coast on one side and national park the other).
