If you decide to stay amongst the Northumbrian countryside, you will be treated to a raft of wonderful experiences. Explore the various areas of outstanding natural beauty in the county such as Northumberland National Park, Cheviot Hills and the North Pennines; all within a short driving distance from your front door.

Looking for the perfect place to relax after a day searching for wildlife and walking up mountains? Your open plan living room in your holiday home will be there to welcome you and your loved ones back with comforting amenities such as a winter warming wood burner, an array of sofas and a widescreen TV that encourages you to keep watching your favourite boxset. Alternatively, keep the countryside within your very grasp when you unwind on the spacious patio in your lush, green garden.

Rural cottage stays but days out in the bright lights also within reach

Northumberland can also cater for those seeking bright lights and big city life. As one of the UK’s most powerhouse cities, Newcastle is an obvious star attraction, whereas movie enthusiasts will love visiting Alnwick Castle and Gardens which was used as Hogwarts for the Harry Potter films. Prepare for these spellbinding places of interest with a heart-warming cooked breakfast made from the pots and pans in your self-catered kitchen, before returning back from your adventures with a delicious dinner that you and your family can savour around the large oak dining table. All the better when combined with a chilled bottle of wine and laugh out loud moments from your day out and about in Northumberland.  

Enjoy a dark sky evening

Northumberland is known as the place in Britain for dark sky star gazing. Book a secluded holiday cottage, or log cabin in a rural setting and step out into a pitch black night after dark to watch the stars pass by in the Milky Way. This could be a magical experience with the family.

Northumberland sunrises and sunsets are majestic

Staying in Northumberland offers many benefits and these start from the moment that you wake up in your spacious well-lit bedroom. Providing panoramic views, a plenty of your serene surroundings from sunrise to sunset, it’s the perfect start to your time amongst heavenly highlights such as ancient castles, unspoilt beaches and rugged moorlands. Imagine watching the sunset over the North Sea from the patio of your holiay cottage or counting the seals on the beach.
