Armstrong Cottage Rothbury: tranquil valley views

Take it easy at this tranquil, stone-built Northumbrian cottage with splendid views over the Coquet Valley. Only a few minutes' drive from Cragside House & Gardens and stunning walks in the Simonside Hills, it's also an easy walk to the pretty, thriving village of Rothbury, with its shops and eateries. Armstrong Cottage is the perfect place to unwind and gaze at the stars, or as a base for visiting Northumberland's top attractions, such as Alnwick Castle, Holy Island and Hadrian's Wall. The space Enjoying a peaceful elevated position, the property enjoys splendid views across the valley and Rothbury Golf Course below the hillside. Once you’ve parked your car to the rear, walk up the steps up the gravel path to the entrance and step into the beautiful open-plan, light and airy space with splendid views of outside. In the kitchen, there is everything you need to prepare a meal for family or friends, equipped with two electric ovens and induction hob, fridge, freezer, washer dryer and dishwasher. You can then gather round the table and enjoy the homemade meal. The living area is the hub of this home; it’s easy to imagine cosy evenings in front of the wood burner whilst watching a movie on the Smart TV which features a full Sky package and Netflix, the perfect setting to unwind after the day’s events. Follow the hall to the gorgeous bathroom with shower over bath and WC. The first of the bedrooms is a large bedroom with king-size bed with an en-suite shower room and WC. The other two bedrooms include super-king-size zip-and-link beds (Zip-and-link beds can be made up as a twin on request - please state at the time of booking) . Outside, there is plenty of outdoor space with seating for warm evenings or a coffee in the fresh air on a morning. There is off-road parking for three cars. Guest access Guests are welcome to use the whole space. We ask that you use the dial for the thermostat in the corridor only to adjust temperature and that you do not try to change settings in the utility cupboard. Please contact us in the event of a problem. We do not allow access into the trunks in bedrooms or the locked outdoor box by the bins, as these are for the owners alone. Other things to note Families are most welcome, but parents should note that Armstrong Cottage has not been childproofed so supervision is necessary. WiFi is available and usually adequate, but Armstrong Cottage is in a rural area so we do not have super fast broadband. TV Sky signal may be lost in adverse weather conditions. If you experience lagging while trying to watch a film, it usually helps to let the film download first. We do not give refunds in the unlikely event of disruption to the WiFi or signal.
