Tranquil Hideaways

Northumberland has all you need for a truly peaceful break. As the summer draws to an end and nature starts winding down so can you - Now is the perfect time to take a deep breath and admire nature in all its glory.

Cosy cottages, traditional farmhouses and snug boltholes scatter the unspoilt Northumberland landscape, tucked in scenic, isolated river valleys, hidden at the foot of heather-covered hills and on the edge of ancient woodland, commanding spectacular views of a landscape little changed since the days of Roman invaders and Border Reivers. Wake up to the sound of birdsong in one of two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or relax in a secluded setting on the edge of Northumberland National Park.

Warm welcomes in peaceful surroundings await you, such as the Byre Vegetarian B&B in Harbottle. Your mobile won't pick up a signal here, so you're guaranteed not to be disturbed by the outside world. The beautiful village sits in the Northumberland National Park, offering you glimpses of ancient landscapes and wilderness that simply can't be found anywhere else in the UK. The Byre even has binoculars on hand for you to bird-watch from the comfort of your bedroom!

If it's luxury you're looking for, you won't be disappointed. From romantic retreats, to cosy cottages in charming rural hamlets, Northumberland has five star cottages aplenty. Try Cheviot Holiday Cottages for fantastic cottages blessed with breathtaking views of the Cheviots.

For isolation in a truly unique setting, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne provides an iconic spot for an unforgettable break. As the tide washes in over the causeway, you'll truly discover what it feels like to really get away from it all, soaking in the relaxing, otherworldly atmosphere of a landscape which resonates with history and spirituality.
