    “Lovely cottage and setting and on arrival the cottage seemed nice, cosy and clean.”

    However their were a few things needed a bit of extra cleaning. The extractor fan in the bathroom was full of dust and the bottom of the shower seal was mouldy (I have photos). The bed mattress was very roll together, the skirtings needed a clean. On the plus side it was lovely and warm. The kitchen was well equipped and the sitting room lovely and cosy. The setting was beautiful. I would have liked more information on the cottage. When was it built, what did it used to be, who painted and why ...

The setting was beautiful. I would have liked more information on the cottage. When was it built, what did it used to be, who painted and why the mural. Also possibly lights at the end of the lane to the main road. We drove past it twice in the dark. Just a few little tweaks and it would have got the extra smiley face.

About the location

WARK

Bellingham 6 miles; Hexham 10 miles; Corbridge 14 miles; Kielder Water 20 miles.

Wark is a delightful village surrounded by beautiful unspoilt Northumbrian countryside, on the edge of the National Park. Wark offers much of interest, including shops, a gothic style church and good quality restaurants. Hadrian’s Wall and Housesteads Fort are nearby, whilst the market town of Hexham is a ten mile drive and is well worth a visit, with its narrow bustling streets, good selection of shops and a fascinating abbey boasting 15th century paintings and a fine Saxon crypt. The Border Country, Northumbrian coast, Kielder Forest with cycling and watersports, Beamish Open Air Museum and Durham Cathedral are all within easy motoring distance, while the Gateshead Metro Centre (one of the largest shopping centres in Europe) can be reached within an hour. Suitable for year-round holidays, this unspoilt area with its fishing, horse riding, abundant wildlife and superb walking country is a nature lover’s dream. Superb golf courses are close by and the area has abundant historical sites, stately homes and famous gardens.
