'Relax in tranquil countryside, in eco-friendly and child-friendly properties...where walks, watersports and sightseeing abound'_Nestled between the Derwent Reservoir, where red kites are spotted, and the edge of beautiful Northumbrian moorlands, these original stone mining offices have been lovingly restored to offer a contemporaray collection of tasteful character cottages combining style and elegance with professionally designed interiors and fine soft furnishings. They provide the benefits of four star living in a peaceful and tranquil setting only minutes from some of the North East’s most breathtaking countryside. The hamlet is perfect for those wishing to relax, and these extremely family-friendly cottages are ideal - providing not only travel cots, highchairs, stairgates, monitors and sterilisers for babies and young children, but also extras such as breadmakers and icemakers. There are communal gardens and social areas with an on-site purpose built games barn, barbecue area and fully secure children’s play area with swings, climbing frame and Wendy house. The holiday cottages are ideally located amongst the calm and magnificent countryside and yet are only a short drive from Hadrian’s Wall. Bustling market towns and pretty villages are scattered accross the reigon; only 2 miles away the medieval village of Blanchard is one of the most attractive in the area. Corbridge is renowned for excellent restaurants, pubs and shops, and is well worth a visit. Walking abounds, as well as sailing and fishing on the Derwent Reservoir. Nearby Slaley Hall stands in 1,000 acres of beautiful forest and moorland with a championship golf course, home to the Great North Open.
