Enjoying a superb location at the foothills of the Cheviots and with easy access to the popular town of Alnwick, Grange Cottages is a fantastic choice for couples or a family of four seeking the very best of Northumberland’s coast and countryside. Stone-built and charmingly renovated, Grange Cottages invites you inside via a stable door which leads through to a kitchen/dining area. The breakfast bar is perfect for an early start, and the dining table is nicely set-up for some family time in the evening. Relax in the sitting room, home to a woodburning stove, TV with Freeview and a plush sofa, providing a haven to return to after an adventure filled day. From here, choose from two well-presented, first-floor bedrooms, each beautifully presented, with the master suite offering a sleek shower room. A fabulous family bathroom is well-appointed for all guests to freshen up ahead of a day of adventures, completing the interior. Outside, make the most of the enclosed garden space and countryside surroundings with your morning coffee or evening wine. When it’s time to explore, enjoy your rural surroundings with some delightful countryside walks, or head into the nearby towns and villages for restaurants and attractions. Continue onto Alnwick, where you can picnic in Hulne Park, enjoy leisurely strolls around the renowned Alnwick Gardens, catch a live performance at The Alnwick Playhouse, refuel at Bay Leaf Lounge, Caffe Tirreno, The Dirty Bottles, and tour the Bailiffgate Museum. For a day along the coast, check out Alnmouth, home to a gorgeous beach, Scotts of Alnmouth, an excellent golf club and coastal hiking trails leading to Amble and Bamburgh. The Northumberland National Park is within easy reach where you can find an abundance of walking and cycling opportunities. For a memorable day out Northumberland Country Zoo rests just a few miles southeast, sure to be a hit with the whole family. Experience all Northumberland has to offer with a stay at Grange Cottages.
Glanton is a little gem of a village that lies at the foot of the Cheviots and is in some of the most picturesque countryside that Northumberland has to offer. Glanton has a village store and a public house, but for a wider range of shops and other amenities, the busy town of Alnwick is only nine miles away. Alnwick is also famous for its Castle and gardens, which are well worth a visit.

Some nice touches to the property which was very well equipped and everything was of a good quality. Lovely area and lots to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but feel the hot hub should be advertised as not adjacent to the property and that you have to walk past the neighbouring house to get there. However once at the hot tub area it is private with a beautifully decorated summer house. The only other issue we had was getting woken up EVERY morning at 4.30am by a nearby cockeral which is the last thing you want on holiday!! However we do realise this is outwith your control.

The cottage itself was very well maintained and also very clean, with the added bonus of the hot tub. The location was good, a little further out from things but still very accessible by car, meaning that towns like Alnwick and even more coastal towns were a short drive away. Overall, would definitely recommend!

So clean and welcoming. A lovely hamper was left for ourselves and the pooches. The children enjoyed all the extra board games. The nice little thoughts of extra towels, fluffy blankets and a few provisions go to show how thoughtful people can be! Thank you for going that extra mile for our holiday!
