“Wonderful two weeks in this superb cottage.”

And the scenery was stunning too.

And the scenery was stunning too.

Sarah August 2024

“Absolutely fabulous property.”

Excellent facilities, and spotlessly clean. Beautiful setting. Had two minor queries which the owner sorted immediately. Many thanks for a wonderful stay. Only downside was the rather late entry time to the cottage of 5pm, and very early departure time of 9am.

Justine May 2024

“Lovely property with a superb kitchen/diner and log burner.”

Very spacious bedrooms all tastefully decorated. No private garden but acres of estate from your doorstep to explore and enjoy. Everyone we met was very helpful and friendly. We loved waking up to all the birds tweeting, seeing the pheasants strutting around and the gorgeous and very inquisitive Guinea fowl making their presence known! Beautiful and peaceful location within easy drive to all the key sites of local interest. Would thoroughly recommend.

Joanne September 2023

“A gorgeous property with loads of space inside and outside.”

With the lounge being upstairs elderly or less mobile people may struggle to keep going up and down stairs. Everywhere was very clean and it had everything you needed. Fitted out to a very high standard. Would highly recommend, but it is a bit remote if you prefer to have loads of facilities on your doorstep. A great getaway property to escape to.

- Joanne, September 2023
Ann May 2023

“We had such a lovely holiday!”

The accommodation is superb - very clean, well equipped and the most comfortable beds. Would highly recommend and would love to return.

“We loved Gardeners Cottage.”

All the rooms were lovely and well planned. There was a luxurious feel to the whole cottage. The beds were so big and comfy. The surrounding area was stunning. We loved watching the Guinea fowl and other birds in the garden. Bellingham was a great place where we could get everything we wanted (except non alcoholic beer!). We really enjoyed the stay and we were sad to leave.

Joyce October 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at the Gardners Cottage.”

The only thing we would recomend for others is to have a torch available. Saying that we so enjoyed seeing the brightness of the stars, such a lovely relaxing place for a break x

- Joyce, October 2022
Neal June 2022

“Beautiful, comfortable and spacious accommodation.”

Kitchen was very well equipped. A DVD would have been a good addition in the lounge. If this is the area for your holiday then this is the property you want to be staying in.

- Neal, June 2022
Thomasin April 2022

“A great place to stay.”

We'll equipt, beautiful tranquil setting. The owners are helpful if needed. Enjoyed exploring the amazing grounds of Hesleyside Hall. Would totally recommend.

“Fabulous relaxing stay in a wonderful setting.”

Could not have asked for a better place to unwind with our 2 dogs....

- Tony, September 2021
Charlie September 2021

“Lovely location, peace and quiet, wildlife, slightly let down by leaking toilet, less than adequate shower in bathroom.”

We would however return to Gardeners Cottage again.

Martin June 2021

“Lovely location & Sue the housekeeper was very helpful.”

Our Sainsburys delivery arrived early & Sue was kind enough to unload it for us. There are lovely walks on the estate & the only downside is it is quite a way from the coast. The cottage was very clean & we had a most enjoyable holiday. Even the weather was good.

- Martin, June 2021
Iren June 2021

“Beautiful nicely decorated cottage.”

Fantastic location. Very peaceful. We loved watching the guinea fowls and feeding the lambs. Excellent local restaurants and pubs. Lots to do; cycling, walking, river kayaking, star gazing at Battlesteads observatory. Thank you we had a fantastic holiday.

- Iren, June 2021

“A fabulous place for peace and quiet.”

The cottage is wonderfully equipped and very comfortable. We have stayed at Hesleyside for about six years now and will be back next year.

- Charles, November 2019
Justine September 2019

“Excellent holiday cottage, very high standard accommodation with lots of lovely touches.”

Use of walks in the grounds and woodland of the estate was brilliant so much wildlife to be seen. The cottage is in a brilliant location for Hadrians wall, Kielder water/forest and trips to newcastle. Would highly recommend we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay

- Justine, September 2019
Stephen September 2019

“Really comfortable beds and bed linen meant we got a good nights sleep after busy days crammed with activity.”

- Stephen, September 2019
Linda April 2019

“Beautiful setting within Hesleyside Hall.”

Spacious and comfortable cottage with flowers and cake to welcome - a personal feel. Games and magazines were appreciated and I found a set of The New Book of Knowledge which my parents had on our bookshelves back in South Africa when I was growing up - nostalgic delight! Poppy the beagle loved the walks and terrain. A pleasure to stay in this well-appointed and attractive holiday home - we all loved it.

- Linda, April 2019
Justin March 2019

“Lovely cottage and location with very spacious property.”

Well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms and sitting room with helpful folder on local attractions and facilities on site. As part of an old manor estate, there were some signs of aged plaster and decor that ought to be addressed over time. On the minus side the biggest issue was that in a cold March - it was not a warm propert. Whilst it did have central heating in all the rooms the radiator valves were preset and could not be changed so no independent control of the hearing. Unfortunately a few of the radiators including the main bedroom and lounge were in need of bleeding or degunging as the heat did not pass through them leaving the rooms cold. Whilst there was a lovely wood burning stove in the dining kitchen there was only one armchair in this room so this was the only independent source of heat. Also the free sat to or box in the lounge was not working so could not be used. Both unfortunately took away on the comfort and expectations score from what otherwise was a great cottage.

Emma February 2019

“Gardeners Cottage was an oasis of peace and calm.”

It's location provided silence with the exception of a few owls. EVERYTHING in the cottage had a luxurious feel and there were thoughtful touches everywhere. I've never known a bed so comfy and the bedding was beautiful quality. I can't think of any constructive criticism as it was just perfect. Thank you. We will definitely return.

- Emma, February 2019

The property

Bellingham 2 miles.

A luxury, well-presented mid-terrace cottage set within the grounds of historic Hesleyside Hall.

Set in plenty of grounds and within easy access of many local attractions, this cottage would make a great place for a family or a group of friends.

The whole of the cottage is furnished to a very high standard with luxury in mind throughout.

On entry, you come into the fantastic well-equipped kitchen with great views across the grounds.

There is also a lovely dining table; a great place to catch up after a day out and about exploring the area.

Within the kitchen is a boot room area where you can hang those coats and leave those muddy boots to dry.

Upstairs is a good-sized sitting room with views of the grounds and even to the River Tyne.

There are three sumptuous bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room as well as a family bathroom.

The cottage has a front lawned garden with furniture and access to the surrounding grounds, with plenty of areas to walk or cycle, as well as access to the river, where you can try your best to catch either a salmon, trout or sea trout.

Located within the Northumberland National Park, you are within easy reach of local attractions, including Kielder Water, Corbridge, Hexham and the Northumberland Heritage Coast.

Gardener’s Cottage is a fantastic property to enjoy a great holiday in a superb location at any time of the year.
