In a nutshell: Pet friendly, enclosed gardens, games room, three bathrooms, short drive to beach. Our featured Northumberland cottages include Brandies Barn, just a few miles from one of Northumberland's hidden gems - the Ford and Etal estates. Centred around these two picturesque villages, the estate has a number of attractions including a castle, a world famous battlefield and even a steam light railway. The estate is in the heart of border country with magnificent views across northern Northumberland and nearby lies Flodden Battlefield, site of a particularly bloody conflict between the English and Scottish armies in 1513. For walkers there are many footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes criss-crossing the estate. Natural history enthusiasts will find nearby Ford Moss Nature Reserve a fascinating visit. You can also spend an hour or two admiring the stunning murals at Lady Waterford Hall or visit the restored 19th-century Heatherslaw Cornmill to buy mouth-watering cakes.
