Holiday Cottages Northumberland

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our Northumberland cottages.

The ideal location for a holiday based in one of our holiday cottages Northumberland features historic sites aplenty, spanning the history of England. Roman remains abound along the World Heritage site of Hadrian's Wall. Sitting just off the coast, accessible via a causeway, is the cradle of Christianity - Lindisfarne, the Holy Island. Also there are many impressive medieval castles, some occupied such as majestic Bamburgh or the eerie ruins of Dunstanburgh a few miles down the coast. If you are looking for holiday cottages Northumberland is a great location for a get-together with family or friends, with plenty to do for everyone. The coastline offers mile after mile of uncrowded sandy beaches, dotted with pretty coastal villages such as Craster, famous for its kippers and Alnmouth sitting between the sea and the mouth of the River Aln. From Seahouses boats trips leave for the Farne Islands, a group of low-lying, uninhabited islands are home to millions of seabirds including puffins, shags and guillemots as well as colonies of seals.

If you are staying at any of our Northumbria cottages a visit to Alnwick Castle is recommended. Known as 'the Windsor of the North' it boasts one of the most impressive gardens in the country and Chillingham is home to the only remaining herd of wild cattle which now roam tranquil parkland. To the north lie the bare and lonely Cheviot Hills which form a natural barrier between England and Scotland, offering fantastic opportunities for walkers and mountain bikers. To the west lies the empty countryside of the Pennines, a wilderness landscape which forms the Northumbria National Park, with Kielder Water at its heart. This is Europe's largest man-made lake and is the perfect location for watersports from water-skiing to fishing. If you are thinking of holidaying in Northumberland cottages offer the perfect base for exploring the natural beauty and dramatic history of this county.
