This pretty property for two provides a wonderful get away from it all, where you can completely relax and wind down. Spend time in the beautiful garden or sitting under the covered seating area with your favourite drink and in the evenings cosy up together in front of the wood burner. Days out can include The Alnwick Gardens and Castle and the traditional market town of Rothbury at the foot of the Simonside Hills and home of beautiful Cragside. From there, venture into the Northumberland National Park for fabulous walking and scenery and you can easily head to Wooler for the Cheviot Hills and on to the Scottish Borders. Head East for the beaches at Alnmouth, Embleton and Bamburgh with so many more between.

Access to the cottage is down the garden path with many shrubs and plants either side to guide you to the door. You will come into the open-plan kitchen/diner, bright and airy with dual aspect windows and is equipped for making your meals in with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. You can enjoy your meals together sitting at the dining table. The cosy lounge has comfortable furniture and a warming wood burner, which will help you wind down and relax while you catch up with a film or two on Smart TV. Heading up the stairs the charming master bedroom has a king-size bed and plenty of space for your things. There is also the twin bedroom so you can chose which room you want to use. Take a restorative bubble bath after your days out exploring and there is a hand held shower attachment to help with washing your hair and a WC.

Outside, the garden beckons with a patio set for two and a superb covered seating area in the corner where you can enjoy the views. Parking is off-road and private inside the gate. Please note this property has a private water supply.

The cottage is well placed for accessing different parts of Northumbria. (Do visit charming little Edlington two miles away!) Very comfortable and characterful; the bed is fine but we have suggested a summer duvet. Garden delightful and very well cared for - in fact we didnt use the gazebo as didnt want to disturb the house martin nest in it!

As described, garden was lovely, thoroughly enjoyed seating area which was sheltered and dry, even when raining. Also perfectly positioned to capture sun on summer evenings. It is worth noting that there appears to be other holiday rental units available at this location, not mentioned in description

Dealing with the owner was easy and lovely, very friendly and pleasant. The cottage was very clean and location convenient. The garden is gorgeous and secluded. The kitchen was poorly equipped with only one oven tray and one pan.

We liked the cottage very much, it was very comfortable and warm. Easy parking and a lovely garden. A good dog walk from the cottage. Lovely beds and bedding. An out of the way location, but within easy reach of Alnwick and Rothbury and the Northumbrian scenery.

The cottage was in very good order and clean when we arrived. A decent supply of wood for the stove was provided. We found the heavy duvet too hot, but this was easily rectified by using other blankets provided. Its location was convenient for travelling to the nearby towns of Rothbury and Alnwick, but was isolated despite being by a main road. ThiRead mores suited us fine, but may not suit everyone. As it was wet and windy much of the time (we stayed over Christmas) we didn't use the outdoor seating. Hide

This was our 3rd visit to Clematis Cottage. It is ideal for our needs being located within driving distance of all of the attractions Northumberland has to offer. The cottage garden is a real gem and great to sit out at the end of the day. There is some road noise but not a real problem. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Idyllic little cottage. Small, but very comfortable and in a perfect location for visiting the many sites of interest Northumberland has to offer. We were a little concerned about some reviews mentioning road noise, but surprisingly for us (we live in a quiet rural village ourselves) it caused us no bother at all.

Enchanting cottage furnished with stylish decor many items from a time gone by. Fantastic summer house in a stunning cottage garden frequented by many birds. Quiet setting even though it is just off a main road which makes the many attractions in the area very accessible.

This cottage is very well placed for touring Northumberland. It is very well equipped and spotlessly kept. The garden is idyllic, including a comfortable sheltered zone to sit and enjoy the planting and the afternoon/evening sunshine. Bird life abounds.
