Explore Northumberland from a Comfortable Base
Adjoining the owner's farmhouse, Townfoot Cottage was once an old farm cow byre, now transformed into a charming holiday cottage in Northumberland National Park. Decorated and furnished to high standards, the cottage retains its unique character with rugs over stone-flagged and wooden floors. The modern bathroom features an L-shaped shower bath, providing both a proper shower and a deep bath for relaxation. Enjoy views over Elsdon Burn towards the hills, making it the perfect location for exploring nearby trails such as Hadrian's Wall, coastal paths, and the Cheviot and Simonside hills. Outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in watersports, fishing, and cycling, with secure storage for bikes available.
