Cheviot View is a former farm workers' cottage set on a working farm two miles north of Alnwick in Northumberland. You reach it along a country lane that runs straight through the farm, past cows, calves and horses. The living room has views west towards the Cheviot Hills, while two of the bedrooms look south over open countryside. This is a quiet spot with a genuine farming backdrop, not a manufactured one.

Northumberland's coast is a short drive away, with sandy beaches dotted along it. Golf and horse riding are both close by if you fancy something active. Shops and pubs sit two miles off in Alnwick. The area has castles and stately homes within easy reach, so a week here gives you plenty of days out without long drives.

The cottage sleeps five across three bedrooms: one double, a twin room and a single with one step up to it. There's one bathroom with a bath and shower over. Downstairs you'll find an open fire in the living room, a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer in the kitchen. Oil central heating keeps things warm through the colder months.

Alnwick Castle, famous for its Harry Potter filming and the Duchess's water gardens are both two miles away (around 10 minutes' drive). The Northumberland coast with its sandy beaches is a short drive further out. Golf courses and horse riding are close by too, both worth a morning out.

Three pet pigs called Prudence, Portia and Primrose live on site and up to three of your own pets can stay free. Cheviot View suits families or groups wanting a proper farm setting with Alnwick Castle on the doorstep. Book today for a break in Northumberland with the whole family, pets included.
