A cosy country Northumbrian cottage offering a tranquil retreat for rest and relaxation.

Tucked away off the beaten track, yet just 3 miles from the picturesque village of Corbridge, this two bedroom cottage sits in a prime spot for soaking up the scenery and history of this area.

The Northumbrian stone cottage exterior opens up into a classic two down, two up configuration which is wonderfully toasty, heated by an efficient sustainable ground source heat pump.

The sitting room has a cosy country feel, with warm furnishings in tweed and linen, framed by a traditional stone inglenook fireplace with a large wood burning stove for those lazy days when throwing another log on the fire sounds like a good plan.

This leads into a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, extending into a sunroom to the rear of the cottage which is ideal for snoozing dogs or a crisp evening Prosecco when the temperature starts to rise.

Upstairs, the cottage has two bedrooms, one with king size bed and the other a twin bedroom with zip and link beds for added flexibility for adults and families, along with a shared family bathroom. Both bedrooms benefit from wonderful front-facing views towards the fortified manor house of Aydon Castle.

The cottage is semi-detached with an enclosed lawned garden to the front and the side of the property.  Aydon Castle, owned by English Heritage, sits directly opposite for a fascinating insight into its rich history, while the walled orchard offers a perfect spot for a summer picnic. Aydon Castle also welcomes dogs which is an added bonus, while a tranquil countryside trail will lead you into the pretty village of Corbridge when an afternoon of fresh country air beckons.

Aydon Castle Cottage

Corbridge, Northumberland

“We had a wonderful holiday at Ayden Castle Cottage. The property was beautifully presented with everything that we needed. We very much enjoyed being in the grounds of the castle and sitting in the lovely garden. The cottage was warm and cosy to return to after a day out. The position of the cottage provides very easy access to the stunning Northumbrian countryside and beaches. We all enjoyed our time very much and will definitely re-book.”
