Close by, discover the village of Corbridge, ideal for stocking up on the essentials at the local shop and excellent butcher or treating your family to some hearty fare at one of several pubs or restaurants found here; for a taste of history, visit the Corbridge Roman Museum or venture to Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. The stunning Hexham Abbey is only a short drive away. If it’s city life you’re seeking, spend the day in Newcastle Upon Tyne boasting a wealth of shopping opportunities. Visit the Great North Museum: Hancock, Tyne Bridge, Newcastle Cathedral, the Angel of the North and St James Park, just a few of the many attractions.

Corbridge, a charming ancient community encircled by gorgeous, unspoiled Northumbrian scenery, has a lot to offer, including specialty stores, historic inns, and a bridge over the river from the 12th century. The market town of Hexham is a few miles distant and is well worth a visit with its small, busy streets, good assortment of shops, and an intriguing abbey boasting 15th-century frescoes and a beautiful Saxon crypt. Hadrian's Wall and Housesteads Fort are close. The Gateshead Metro Centre (one of the biggest retail centres in Europe) is about 20 miles to the east, as are the Border Country, Northumbrian shoreline, Kielder Forest with cycling and watersports, Beamish Open Air Museum, and Durham Cathedral. Locally, there are also excellent opportunities for fly and coarse fishing.

It is so tranquil yet within reach of a lot of interesting places to visit. Regarding previous visitors' feedback, the heating is absolutely fine, the best way to control it is with the living room thermostat. It's true the wifi is flaky as the signal comes from the main house. This cottage is new so I have no doubt they will look to make the wifi even better. Anyway, it's good to get away from it sometimes! There is a very generous welcome pack. Thank you very much. We loved our stay.

I would have liked a comfortable outdoor seating as well as the table and chairs which are great for eating out but not if you want to relax and read. Itâs out of the way, if you want to go out in the evening Someone will need to be designated driver or get taxi but we enjoyed the relaxed feeling of the place. Some lovely villages to visit especially Corbridge. Bamburgh castle and sea houses worth a visit but just over an hour away. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

The heating was very hit or miss - and the internet was largely absent. But the cottage was very comfortable and the people down at the house were lovely. It's a great place to stay if you want to explore the wall .......and Hexham and Corbridge are interesting places to visit in their own right.
