Morpeth Retreats - 15 Chivits

Walk through the door at 15 Chivits and you're in an open-plan ground floor where the living and dining areas flow into the kitchen, all of it oriented towards the garden and hot tub beyond. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge. The living space has a television and Wi-Fi; the patio doors open directly onto the garden.

Upstairs are four bedrooms. The first is a kingsize with an ensuite shower. Two further doubles, each with their own ensuite, occupy the rest of the first floor. A fourth bedroom with bunks completes the layout. There is also a family bathroom. Eight guests can stay here comfortably, with electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi all included.

Outside, the private garden has a hot tub for ten, garden furniture and a barbecue. There is parking for two cars on site. The property does not permit smoking. It suits groups and families looking for space and privacy in rural Northumberland.
