Serious walkers can amble over to the Simonside Hills. Rothbury is known as the capital of Coquetdale and is ideally located for exploring the nearby villages.

Our second visits excellent accommodation in a wonderful setting. Bird watchers would love the location. Very steep drive in case anyone has mobility problems.Spotlessly clean and everything we could wish for from a self catering point of view. So many places to visit in the location. We shall certainly book again.

Lovely comfy cottage, beautiful surroundings, very peaceful, But very steep roads to drive to cottage, in front of cottage and walking down into town. Ok if you fit or a dog but we are in early 70s so bit of a struggle.
