Greenyard Cottage

Greenyard Cottage suits couples looking for a quiet base in rural Northumberland. This 1830s stone cottage sits on a small working farm, retaining its character with original beams and a wood-burning stove in the inglenook. The cottage is yours alone: one bedroom with a king bed, a shower room, and downstairs living space with a woodburner and kitchen. Essentials including heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered, plus logs for the stove. The enclosed garden has seating and a sitting area; there is parking for two cars on site and a bike store. The narrow stairs to the bedroom should be considered.

From here, Alnwick Castle lies 15 miles away and Rothbury about 8 miles. The National Trust properties Cragside and Wallington Hall are both within reach, and the Northumberland coast—part of the Heritage Coast and lined with golden beaches—is around 13 miles distant. Kielder Water and its International Dark Sky Park sit further west, while Morpeth town is 9 miles away with shops and restaurants. Newcastle upon Tyne offers culture and dining within easy reach. The cottage is not suitable for children or babies, and smoking is not permitted.
