Overview

Located on East Liburn Farm in the heart of Northumberland, this romantic cottage offers the perfect base for a couple's getaway while exploring historic sites and natural landscapes. Within 20 miles, history enthusiasts can discover five magnificent ancient attractions including Chillingham Castle, Bamburgh Castle, National Trust's Cragside, Alnwick Castle and Gardens, and Dunstanburgh Castle—each with fascinating storeys of royalty and intrigue. Walking routes begin directly from the doorstep, with the Northumberland National Park providing spectacular views, particularly from Cheviot summit where the Lake District can be glimpsed on clear days. The beautiful Northumberland coastline at Bamburgh and Seahouses is within easy reach, with watersports available at Beadnell Bay just 15 miles away—ideal for an active holiday.

Step inside to find a welcoming hallway with hooks for walking gear and a convenient downstairs WC. The cosy lounge features a comfortable sofa positioned around a warming wood burner—perfect for romantic evenings during your vacation. Unwind after a day of exploration by watching your favourite shows on the TV with Firestick. The charming countryside-themed kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine, plus a large dining table ideal for sharing meals and planning adventures. Upstairs, the spacious super-king-size bedroom with zip-and-link beds (which can be made up as twins upon request) provides a restful retreat for any couple, while the bathroom offers both a bathtub for long, relaxing soaks and a separate shower with WC.

Outside, a bench seat at the front of the property creates a pleasant spot to enjoy morning coffee before setting off on countryside walks. There's also a bench in the stable yard where guests can watch the mare and other horses coming and going (dogs must be kept on leads in this area). The cottage benefits from private off-road parking for two cars, and while there is no dedicated garden space, the surrounding countryside is accessible directly from the doorstep. For stargazers, the dark skies of Northumberland offer spectacular night-time viewing during your holiday getaway. Shops can be found 4 miles away, with pubs at 6 miles and the coast at 15 miles.
