Perched on the hillside sitting above the picturesque small market town of Rothbury, The Croft is a substantial double fronted stone-built semi-detached cottage, which has recently undergone a total renovation to provide superior quality self-catering accommodation.  Each room is well proportioned and tastefully furnished throughout.  Snuggle in front of the cosy open fire in the lovely lounge to relax and enjoy the superb views; the panoramic vistas can also be admired from the spacious dining room where there is a wood-burning stove too.  The newly fitted modern kitchen with its many integral appliances is very well equipped and both bedrooms also boast the stunning views and have excellent quality beds to ensure a good rest for all.  With a contemporary bathroom and a separate shower room too, this property is suitable for the gathering of family and friends or for those couples looking for something rather special....

Rothbury offers an abundance of facilities including several shops, pubs and quaint tea rooms.  Fishing for salmon and trout on the River Coquet is a popular pastime (permits available locally) and golf can be arranged on the idyllic riverside course.  The National Trust property of Cragside was the first home to be lit by hydro-electricity and the elegant house and its grounds are a popular visitor attraction close by.  Rothbury is the ideal base from which to explore the Northumberland National Park and is appealing to ramblers and cyclists with its many excellent walks on the doorstep, from gentle riverside strolls to climbing the imposing Simonside Hills, which form a great sandstone ridge and Special Area of Conservation with 360 degree views from coast to hills.  The Lordenshaws have impressive remains of an Iron Age Hillfort, Bronze Age burials and rock carvings set in open heather moorland.  The bustling market town of Alnwick 15 miles to the east is protected by its dramatic castle, the ancestral home to the Duke of Northumberland (famous as the film location for Harry Potter).  Enjoy a trip to the superb Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade Waterfall and the restaurant in the largest tree house in Europe.

The Heritage coastline this area is renowned for, and designated as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is less than 20 miles away ensuring The Croft provides an excellent central base for exploring both the wild and lonely beauty of the unspoilt heather capped hills to the west along with the golden, sandy beaches to the east.

Terrace with patio furniture. Steep stone steps lead to enclosed garden in the hillside mainly laid to lawn. Off road parking for 2 cars.
