Set in the centre of the small hamlet of Newton-on-the-Moor, a short walk from an award-winning pub, Hazel Cottage is perfect for couples or a small family. It has a lovely feel throughout, and the cosy wood burner, set in an original inglenook fireplace, is perfect to sit in front of during nights in. The smaller second living room is the ideal place for reading and relaxing in, and offers an extra bit of space. Built in the 19th century, the cottage oozes charm, and the owner has carefully restored the property whilst paying attention to the smallest details.
Set at the end of a little terrace with private parking to the rear, the cottage is wonderfully located only 2 minutes from the A1, ensuring that it is easy to explore this fabulous county. Voted as the best county to visit in 2018 in the British Tourism Awards, you will be spoilt for choice whatever direction you wish to travel. The heritage coastline, stretching up to Berwick-on-Tweed, is practically on the doorstep, and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with miles of golden beaches and castles. Nearby Rothbury, only 11 miles away, is also well worth a day trip, and is home to the National Trust’s Cragside Hall. The famous castle in Alnwick is only 6 miles from Hazel Cottage, and the enchanting water gardens, along with the cobbled streets in Alnwick, make for a great day out.
