Coldburn Cottage is a former shepherd's house set in the village of Coldburn near Wooler, Northumberland. This stone cottage sleeps four and offers sublime views across Northumberland and the Cheviots. It's a quiet spot, well away from the crowds, with a cosy feel that comes from the open fire in the lounge.

This part of Northumberland is walking country. Guest Louise mentions loving the College Valley and says she managed a full week without using her car once, walking straight from the door instead. Yeavering Bell Hill Fort is just 5.5 miles away and forms part of a 4-mile circular route through ancient sites, with panoramic views over the Cheviots. Wooler itself, 10 miles off, has independent shops, cafes and three Grade II-listed churches.

The cottage has one double and one twin bedroom, both with vaulted ceilings and dormer windows, sleeping four in total. Downstairs there's a bathroom with a bath and separate WC. The kitchen diner has a dual-fuel gas range cooker and a farmhouse table that seats six, while the lounge has an open fire, sofa, armchairs and a widescreen Smart TV. Outside, a large enclosed garden with a stream and stone walls gives dogs (up to three allowed) plenty of room to roam and there's a dedicated kennel area in one of the outbuildings.

Holy Island and Lindisfarne Castle are 25 miles away, Bamburgh Castle 26 miles and Kimmerston Riding Centre offers horse riding to Holy Island just 12 miles from the door. Berwick-upon-Tweed's beaches sit 23 miles out.

This is the place for walkers, dog owners and anyone wanting proper peace and quiet in the Cheviots. One guest was on her second stay and had already booked a third. Coldburn Cottage delivers on views, space and stillness in equal measure. Check your dates and book your Northumberland break today.
