Healey Farm Cottage

About this property

Tucked away on the outskirts of Rothbury in Northumberland, is this beautiful, detached cottage, Healey Farm Cottage. Enjoying a superb, elevated position atop a hillside overlooking the Simonside Hills and out towards the National Trust's Craigside, Healey Farm Cottage is an idyllic base for couples or a family of four seeking a rural retreat. Step into the well-equipped kitchen, featuring a dishwasher, where you can whip up delicious meals ready to tuck-into at the dining table for four. Just off the kitchen is a handy utility room housing a fridge/freezer and washing machine. On warmer days, why not make dinner an alfresco affair out in your own private garden? After a day of exploring, gather your loved ones in the sitting room where you can relax on the plush seating in front of the Smart TV, as the multi fuel stove crackles nearby. Pour in the bubbles and indulge in a soothing soak in the bath or freshen up with a shower before choosing from two well-appointed bedrooms to catch your rest in, a king-size with Smart TV and a twin, ahead of a day of adventure. Acquaint yourself with the local town, where you can dine out with loved ones at The Queens Head or The Narrow Nick, ideal for those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking. There is also a fish and chip takeaway for when you fancy ordering in and a well-stocked convenience store for picking up fresh produce. The keen putters in your party will delight at the excellent Rothbury Golf Club, or if that isn’t your thing, explore the exceptional rural mansion of Craigside featuring gadget displays and expansive gardens. Fantastic walking and cycling opportunities await at the nearby Northumberland National Park, as well as the Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre, the imposing peak of Cheviot and the English Heritage site of Black Middens Bastle House. Continue onto Alnwick, famed for its castle with poison garden and the attractions Bailiffgate Museum, Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland, Alnwick Golf Club and the Alnwick Playhouse. Adventure awaits with a stay at Healey Farm Cottage.

Rothbury is the capital of Coquetdale and is dominated by the heather-clad Simonside Hills. It is located on the north bank of the famous salmon and trout river, the Coquet. It's a charming tiny market town with good local walking because to its proximity to Northumberland's National Park. The town's steep main streets are lined with stone homes typical of the region, and there is a good selection of stores. This beautiful location has plenty to offer, with a golf course, public tennis courts, and cycle hire close by, as well as a selection of great buildings and gardens to explore, including Cragside, Alnwick Castle (seat of the Duke of Northumberland), Wallington Hall, and a number of other notable castles. Hadrian's Wall, Kielder Reservoir and Forest, as well as the coast's sandy beaches and dunes, are all easily accessible by car.
