    “This is a comfortable well laid out, clean and equipped property.”

    Access, parking and facilities are good. We did not meet the owners who live opposite but everything was easy to use inside. There were books, games and DVDs in addition. We appreciated the biscuits, tea and coffee left to use and wood for the stove. There was a lot of useful tourist information left to use. There were some bulbs needed replacing inside.

    Access, parking and facilities are good. We did not meet the owners who live opposite but everything was easy to use inside. There were books, games and DVDs in addition. We appreciated the biscuits, tea and coffee left to use and wood for the stove. There was a lot of useful tourist information left to use. There were some bulbs needed replacing inside. The bedroom curtains let in sunlight in the morning - blackout linings or blind in summer would be appreciated. There was a minor leak from the shower at the side which pooled next to the toilet which is of concern for the integrity of the flooring. This might be a faulty sliding door seal or sealant of the glass panel. The shower base is very slippery and a shower mat would be useful for children and the elderly.

The property

A charming mid-terrace, single-storey cottage, forming part of a former mid-19th century stable block, situated within easy walking distance of the centre of the village of Belford. Recently re-opened (July 2023) after renovation with new kitchen and bathroom. Full of character and comfort, Stable Cottage boasts a fabulous open plan living area with original open roof trusses and cast iron wood-burning stove, along with two cosy bedrooms overlooking a sheltered rear courtyard and lawned garden below. Further down from the lawned area is a small paddock, which is home to the owners’ hens and sometimes sheep too. The village of Belford offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants, while the cottage is also ideally situated for exploring the delightful coastal village of Bamburgh, Northumberland's beautiful Heritage Coast, Holy Island and the Scottish Borders. Newcastle and Edinburgh are easily accessible for day trips. A fantastic base for a truly relaxing holiday.

About the location

BELFORD

Alnwick 15 miles; Berwick-upon-Tweed 15 miles; Bamburgh 5 miles.

The picturesque Northumberland village of Belford lies in the heart of Heritage countryside, midway between the popular walled towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The pretty coastal village of Bamburgh, with its sweeping beaches and dramatic castle, is only a short drive away. Belford itself is an old coaching village with a pleasant square and offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. It is ideally placed for exploring the Northumbrian Coastal Route, Cheviots, the renowned Northumberland Coastline and the Scottish Borders. The opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from nearby Seahouses, is not to be missed. Alternatively check the tide times and cross to Holy Island to visit the historic Lindisfarne Priory.
