The Shiel

Slow down and enjoy a relaxing break at this quiet and rural spot among the countryside. By day, explore the undulating countryside before retreating to this characterful cottage which is perfect for groups of five friends or family.

Situated in a peaceful hamlet, you can enjoy true peace and quiet and the dark skies. You will find a farm shop and a couple of pubs in Belford, which is 3 miles away, and the coastal village Bamburgh is 6.5 miles, which is also home to the imposing Bamburgh Castle.

Explore the tidal Holy Island of Lindisfarne (15 miles) where you can explore ancient sites and visit the diverse wildlife that lives around the nature reserve. Lead through the front door and into a spacious hallway where you can hang up your coats and place your walking boots.

Move into the open-plan kitchen/diner which is bright and airy with large windows and doors that look out over the garden and beyond. Cook up delicious dinners in the well-equipped country-style kitchen and eat together at the dining table set in front of the French doors.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a handy utility room with laundry facilities. The lounge has comfortable seating and a warming wood burner so you can enjoy cosy evenings in.

The first of the bedrooms is situated on the ground floor which has zip-and-link beds that can be a super-king or twin beds as required, and an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the other two bedrooms have lovely far-reaching views and slanted, beamed ceilings.

One bedroom has twin beds which are also zip-and-link offering handy versatility for your group, and the other is a quaint single bedroom. Completing the interior of the cottage is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
