About this property

Haydon Bridge 4.8 miles. Curlew Cottage is a delightful, detached cottage surrounded by farmland within the grounds of the owner's home in Langley-on-Tyne near Haydon Bridge, Northumberland. Upon the cusp of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a short distance from the Northumberland National Park, Curlew Cottage has been tastefully decorated with charm and style to provide welcoming, bright, and airy accommodation for up to four guests. Complete with two bedrooms, including a double and a twin, both also benefit from private en-suites, making them ideal for families, friends, and couples alike. The open-plan living space is fully equipped, where you can rustle up and enjoy meals, and relax in front of the electric fire, whilst the external utility offers even further conveniences, including a washing machine and tumble dryer. Outside there is a garden and patio area, which boasts views of the surrounding countryside, ideal for warm summer evenings, dining alfresco. From this Northumberland cottage there is excellent walking opportunities, across the likes of the National Trust Nature Reserve of Allen Banks and Staward Gorge, plus fishing and golf are available nearby, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Historic sites are also in abundance, where you can tour Langley Castle, Featherstone Castle and even the Housesteads Roman Fort – Vercovicium, an English Heritage Site. The village of Haydon Bridge, with its hub of amenities, and the market towns of Haltwhistle, the centre of Britain, and Hexham are close and worth visiting, where you can stock up on the essentials and dine out. Just a little further afield are Hadrian's Wall, the delights of Kielder Water, Alnwick Castle and Gardens, and the magnificent Heritage Coast, offering something for all types of visitors. Enjoy rural Northumberland from Curlew Cottage.

The attractive village of Haydon Bridge is situated between the market town of Hexham and Haltwhistle, close to the A69, on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, and only a short drive away from the magnificent remains of the Roman Forts on Hadrians Wall, a World Heritage Site. There are some delightful walks in the area, but perhaps the loveliest are at Allen Banks - 194 acres of woodland and riverside paths just 3 miles from Haydon Bridge. The picturesque village of Haydon Bridge dates back to the 14th Century and is situated on both banks of the South Tyne river with an ancient pedestrian bridge over. Amenities in the village include a railway station, a variety of shops, pubs, a local tourist information centre, churches and riverside walks. Haydon Bridge is a great base for exploring Northumbria!
