The Stables

The Stables sits within expansive grounds near Ponteland, where woodland stretches across 200 acres and open countryside surrounds the property. The location works well as a base for exploring Northumberland's coast, Newcastle, and the network of rural walks in the region, while the immediate setting offers peace and space to move around.

This ground-floor cottage sleeps four across one king-size bedroom and a twin, with a bathroom that has both bath and large double shower. The open-plan kitchen comes fully equipped for self-catering, including dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Separate from the kitchen is a generous lounge and dining area with exposed beams, high ceilings, a double-sided woodburner, Smart TV and DVD player. A courtyard with garden furniture provides outdoor sitting space. Parking for two cars is on site, and the essentials—Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels—are included; initial logs for the woodburner are also provided. No smoking throughout.

The property works for families (travel cot and highchair are available on request) and suits guests wanting a rural base without isolation. The grounds are shared with other properties, so it is not completely secluded, though The Stables itself is self-contained.
