Only a 2-minute walk to a choice of pubs, most serving food and a couple of restaurants and tea rooms.
Cyclists will love that the Sandstone Way Cycle Path runs outside, down from the Scottish Borders to the Peak District, and the cottage provides a space for you to store your bikes. The location is ideal as you can leave your car behind and enjoy the local facilities and indeed, take a walk right from the door up the Simonside Hills.

It is less than a mile to Cragside House and Gardens which sits on the edge of the village, a marvellous National Trust site with something for all ages. No trip to Northumberland would be complete without a day trip up to the Northumbrian Heritage Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where miles of sandy beaches and historic castles await. Or travel over to Hadrian’s Wall and explore the remains of the Roman Forts, the wall itself or visit The Sill. Of course Northumberland also has the fabulous highly acclaimed Dark Sky Park around Kielder, all within easy reach of Rothbury.

We loved our stay at this cute, cozy cottage! It’s beautifully laid out and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need to make home-cooked meals. The patio was a perfect spot to enjoy tea or coffee, and we appreciated that both coffee lovers and tea drinkers are well taken care of here. The location is fantastic—just a short stroll to all the shops and restaurants in Rothbury. Highly recommend for a relaxing and convenient getaway!
