Welcome to Northumberland Cottage

You have found a jewel in a secret kingdom: a beautiful holiday cottage in the tranquil hamlet of Branton, Northumberland, two miles from the National Park Visitors' Centre in Ingram.

STOP PRESS STOP PRESS! Special offer for two week break between Saturday 12th July and Saturday 26th July 2008: £50 off the normal two week holiday rate (currently £890) meaning total holiday price of only £840.

Situated on a national cycle route (no 68) which meanders up the Breamish Valley into Northumberland National Park, this luxury 3-bedroom stone-built former farm cottage is set in idyllic walking and cycling country, a mile from a village pub, half a mile from the River Breamish, and only 10 miles from Alnwick. The property is beautifully refurbished, and furnished with charming antique pieces sourced from nearby Cheviot Antiques. It has an Inglenook fireplace with log bunring stove, Jerusalem Stone floored kitchen, sash windows, quality antique pine furniture and luxurious bedding and linen.

Whether you are dedicated ramblers, professionals escaping the rat-race, or parents with babies, toddlers, tweenies or teenagers, Northumberland Cottage is the perfect choice for a holiday in the countryside. Catering for those of you with twins is no problem! See Reviews to get an idea of what people say about the cottage.

These and the other items listed on our inventory are all included in the cost of rental. There are no hidden charges! You don't even need to buy a guide book: we have compiled a list of our favourite excursions which you will find at the cottage when you arrive!
