About this property
Hexham 6 miles; Blanchland 4 miles. An immaculate stone-built cottage situated in the rural hamlet of Slaley and close to the conservation village of Blanchland. The property is only a short drive from many of Northumbria's attractions including Hadrian's Wall, the popular market town of Hexham and the Northumberland National Park. The cottage adjoins the owners' 150-year old farmhouse and offers accommodation of a particularly high standard. From the doorstep there are forest tracks and country lanes for walkers and mountain bikers. Alternatively, just relax and soak in the tranquillity of the area, in the private lawned garden!
Hexham is a lively little market town packed with fascinating antique shops. There are many attractions and amenities for visitors, and here you will find the attractive old Hexham Abbey which dates back to the 7th Century and its amazing Saxon crypt; the colourful stalls of The Shambles in the Market Place on Tuesdays, and the 14th Century Moot Hall, now an art gallery. Hexham is very popular with tourists visiting Hadrian's Wall, located nearby. There are many lovely open spaces, including the Sele, a public park next to the Abbey, and the riverside country park of Tyne Green. Horse racing enthusiasts will enjoy a day out at Hexham Race Course which is located south of Hexham.

The cottage looked lovely and festive on arrival and had a cute Christmas tree and little bits of decorations everywhere. The cottage was clean and had absolutely everything you could need or want. Whilst the cottage is compact, with patience you can happily manage to make a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings for five people and whack up a good buffet. Gordon was lovely and hospitable and made it was clear he was on hand if needed.We lead very full busy lives, so this was a fabulous way to unwind and spend our christmas break. We really hope to visit again soon. Thankyou Gordon
