Shawdon Hill Cottage is near Glanton in Northumberland. It's a rural spot, off the A697. The cottage itself is from 1833. It's been done up recently so everything is in good order.
It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, one bathroom. There's a king, a double, and a super king that can be twins if you ask beforehand. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over it. There's a separate loo downstairs. We've got a 4 Star rating.
You bring one well behaved dog if you want. The garden is tiered, so it goes up in steps from the house to a raised bit with trees. There's furniture up there to sit and look at the view. The views are south, towards the Cheviot Hills.
Inside, there are two living spaces. The main one is bright with big windows. The second one is smaller, good if people want to watch different things. The kitchen is open plan with the dining area. It leads out to a utility room with a washing machine and a sink.
