Nestled in the pretty village of Haydon Bridge, between Northumberland National Park and North Pennines AONB, is 3 Shaftoe Street. With access to Muckle Moss National Nature Reserve and Hadrian's Wall right on the doorstep, enjoy a restful break with your family and friends. This stone cottage oozes character from the open-plan living room, right up to the second floor bedroom resting under the eaves. It offers exposed beams, painted stone walls and period-style furnishings. The kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances in an unusual style. There is a Welsh dresser housing the crockery and a multi-fuel stove filling the home with warmth on a chilly winter's night. Relax and unwind on the plush sofas in the sitting area and take in the pretty surroundings. The first floor plays host to three double bedrooms, one boasting its very own en-suite shower room, whilst the high-class bathroom comes with a bath and shower over. Up on the top floor you have another double with Velux windows drawing in the natural light and traditional furniture and beams, adding character to the space. Outside you have a seating area and off-road parking for one vehicle. Haydon Bridge has a railway station, riverside walks, pubs, shops and a tourist information centre.

Cross the Tyne Bridge to Gateshead for more shops, pubs and the Shipley Art Gallery. Keilder Forest can also be easily reached by car, home to northern Europe's largest man-made lake. With so much to see and do in the surrounding area, how can you miss an opportunity at this delightful getaway.
