Description
Townhead House is a spacious and welcoming family house in Harbottle in the Northumberland National Park. Behind the house are the castle ruins, and the front looks out to heather clad hills. Harbottle is a beautiful village with a cosy pub, and is ideally suited for walking, cycling and just relaxing.
The house has a comfortable sitting room with an open fire, a good-sized dining room with a wood burning stove, and a well-equipped kitchen. There is a utility room and a private garden. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms (each with an added single bed), and one twin bedroom. There is a bathroom with toilet, bath and shower. A cot and high chair are available. The house is suitable for 7 people but can sleep 8
The wild Cheviot hills are on the doorstep. Safe road cycling is available all round, and especially up the valley beside the tumbling waters of the river Coquet. Wildlife abounds - red squirrels and deer are in the woods nearby; a cuckoo returns annually to the beech trees behind the house, lapwings, curlews and oyster-catchers wheel across the valley - and if you are lucky, you may spot a kingfisher by the river. Stand outside the house at night, soak up the silence, and enjoy the spectacular display of stars in Northumberland's famous Dark Sky.
The delightful small market town of Rothbury is 7 miles away and offers restaurants, pubs, an art gallery and many interesting shops. In July the traditional music festival draws huge crowds. Local National Trust properties include Cragside and Wallington. Excellent day trips include Alnwick, Newcastle and Holy Island.

Taking a break in one of our holiday cottages in Northumberland gives you the ideal opportunity to discover one of England’s most unspoilt regions, where you can still find wilderness areas, virtually untouched by human hand. The peaceful landscapes of the Northumberland National Park and the Cheviot Hills are a paradise for nature lovers. There are also some fantastic cliff paths and quiet beaches to explore on the coast. And there’s Kielder Water, England’s largest man-made lake. Set in beautiful countryside, this is a magnet for watersports enthusiasts of all kinds.
There is a chain of massive castles on the coast waiting for you to discover on one of our Northumberland cottage holidays. Alnwick Castle, dubbed the “Windsor of the North” boasts an impressive renaissance interior containing a wonderful art collection, as well as stunning gardens. The castle at Warkworth is also very well-preserved, while Bamburgh Castle, the seat of the old Kings of Northumbria, has a fantastic location right on the seashore. Don’t miss a trip to Lindisfarne, birthplace of English Christianity, or to Hadrian’s Wall, which runs through the county. And for great shopping and nightlife, and a unique atmosphere, head to Newcastle.
