Linhope

About this property

Resting on the outskirts of the breath-taking Northumberland National Park in the town of Wooler is Linhope. This idyllic barn conversion benefits from a bright and airy open-plan living space with Smart TV, off-road parking in the nearby car park and a well-appointed super-king-size bedroom perfect for couples seeking a romantic retreat in Northumberland. After exploring the encompassing countryside, cross the threshold and unwind on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV while your partner pampers you with a romantic meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together at the intimate dining table before stepping through the patio doors to toast your getaway outside; on colder evenings snuggle up in front of your favourite film. When sleep calls, climb the stairs to wash off the day in the en-suite shower room before sloping off to sleep in the super-king-size bed. Linhope lies paces away from the amenities of Wooler, stock up on necessities at the town’s local store or enjoy date night at pubs such as the Tankerville Arms Hotel, the Angel Inn, or the Italian restaurant Milan. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element as Northumberland National Park is easily accessible and houses a myriad of walks and trails rewarding guests with breath-taking views across England and the Scottish border. History is woven throughout the surrounding countryside, explore the 14th century Etal Castle, marvel over the Scottish border at Twizel Castle or meander through Berrick-upon-Tweed, England’s most northern town where you can admire the 13th century Castle as well as the intact town wall. Be sure to check the tides before heading to the coast to traverse the historic Holy Island which houses Lindisfarne Castle and Lindisfarne Priory. The market town of Alnwick is just a short drive away, spend the day admiring its mediaeval castle, variety of museums and the beautiful Alnwick Garden home to a tree house cafe and the unique poison garden which runs guided tours through its deadly plants. Explore the wonders of Northumberland at Linhope.

In the Cheviot foothills, which are a part of the Pennine Way, Wooler is a charming, historic market town on the banks of the River Till, one of the Tweed's tributaries. Wooler, often known as "The Gateway to The Cheviots," is a charming town with a variety of lodging options and dining establishments that makes it the ideal starting point for trips around Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. A short drive from the historic town of Alnwick with its renowned Castle and Gardens and the well-preserved Garrison town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is Wooler, which is located on the fringe of the Northumberland National Park. A short journey will also take you to Chillingham Castle, home to an illustrious herd of wild white cattle, and Coldstream, located just outside the Scottish border.
