Nestled in the Northumbrian countryside in the village of Corbridge, is this well-presented cottage, Bramwell House.
Enjoying original features, with exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and a woodburning stove, this holiday home is idyllic for two couples, friends or a family of four.
Leave your vehicle in a roadside space before stepping inside to discover the shaker-style kitchen/diner, with an oven and hob to prepare delicious meals.
After an action-packed day and when stomachs begin to rumble, settle down at the dining table.
When the sun is shining, head out onto the small patio area and why not uncork a bottle of wine to savour a glass?
As the evening cools, retire into the sitting room, where you can sprawl on the sofa as the woodburning stove crackles before you and relish a hot chocolate.
As eyes grow heavy, climb up the wooden staircase to reveal two bedrooms, both doubles and one offering an en-suite shower room for a rinse.
Awaken with the sun shining through the Velux windows and take advantage of the kitchen facilities to rustle up a home-cooked breakfast.
Explore your surroundings with a visit inside an old inn to sample local ales and browse antique stores for a unique gift to take home.
Immerse yourself in the past with a trip to Corbridge Roman Town for the remains of Hardian's Wall and the grand Aydon Castle, or for a tranquil setting explore botanical gardens at Dilston Physic Garden.
Head into the market town of Hexham; here you can enjoy a family day out at the races, tee up at the expansive golf course or stroll around The Sele.
The city of Newcastle is also within easy reach, home to a vibrant nightlife for a bar crawl, Laing Art Gallery to see unique oil paintings and the Life Science Centre.
All this and more awaits at Bramwell House.
