Northumberland

In the middle of the National Park and surrounded by the Coquet Hills, come for dark skies, fabulous walking and a very comfortable cottage

A big dower house and two cottages surrounded by superb gardens, a fishing lake and acres of glorious countryside, a short walk to the coast

High-ceilinged and grand yet relaxing and super-comfortable – in landscaped grounds with lake, tennis court and walled garden
