The Elm

1400 feet above the Coquet valley floor and surrounded by acres of grasslands, heather-covered moors and forests, this is just the ticket for walkers, nature lovers and peace seekers. Back at your timber-clad cottage you’ll find an unfussy, calming vibe with a spacious living room, view-filled bedroom and a kitchen with plenty of bells and whistles. On cooler days you can light the wood-burner and snuggle down to watch a film while delving into the welcome hamper – chocolate, biscuits, fizz and more.

Views from your bed are stunning, through sliding doors and over the Cheviot Hills to Simonside. Outside is your own patio leading to a grassed area and newly planted trees. Lovely to sit out here and listen to the sound of birds, sheep and the wind in the trees. Better still, you can slide into your covered outdoor Shanti bath and soak in some Penhaligon’s bubbles.

Extras include holistic treatments and a stargazing pack for stunning skies.
