Nestling within 120 acres of peaceful farmland, these four pretty and very comfortable cottages are ideally situated for exploring the unspoilt treasures of England's northerly counties.

Attractions as diverse as Northumberland's glorious coastline, Beamish Open Air Museum and Gateshead's Metro Centre shopping lie within easy reach and Durham city, with its magnificent castle and cathedral, is just 9 miles.

Wonderful walks start from the door and the coast to coast cycle track is nearby as are golf, fishing and riding.
