Sleeps 2
Bedrooms: 1

Cuckoo Cottage is a stone barn conversion in the heart of Northumberland National Park near Powburn. It overlooks a 1,800-acre working sheep farm with panoramic views across the Ingram Valley and the Cheviot Hills. This is a proper rural hideaway remote, quiet and genuinely off the beaten track. There is no hot tub here but there is a fire pit outside.

The landscape is wild and unspoiled. Red squirrels live here. You might spot an otter in the River Breamish or hear curlews in spring. The Pennine Way is just 2 miles away. Linhope Spout waterfall 18 metres of falling water is a 4-mile walk from the door. This is a designated Dark Sky Discovery Site so the night skies are extraordinary.

Sleeps 2.

Is Cuckoo Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Cuckoo Cottage sleeps only 2 so it is not designed for families with children. That said the surrounding countryside offers real wildlife spotting red squirrels, otters and curlews and the 4-mile walk to Linhope Spout waterfall is a great adventure for older children if the party size fits.
For Couples
Cuckoo Cottage is built for two. A king-size bedroom with vaulted ceiling and beams, a wood burner in the lounge and two chairs outside by the fire pit under some of the darkest skies in England. Ingram Valley views, total quiet and no crowds. It does not get much more romantic than this.
Pet Friendly
Up to two dogs are welcome at Cuckoo Cottage. The cottage sits on the edge of a 1,800-acre sheep farm with direct access to open countryside walks. The Pennine Way is 2 miles away and the River Breamish runs nearby. Please keep dogs under control near the working farm.

Cuckoo Cottage Reviews

Henry
If you want a quiet, remote place to stay and do not mind the fact that there is a dirt road up to it, this is the place. It is very dark at night!
Fiona
Stunning location, amazing views. Cosy and well equipped cottage with everything we needed. Comfortable bed. Great base for exploring the area - coast and countryside. Host was very welcoming and responsive to messages.
Olav
If solitude is your thing, this is your place. Great hikes in the surrounding area. We were lucky to witness the shearing of the sheep.
Phil
Cuckoo Cottage is an excellent property in a marvellous location. The location redefines the meaning of "peace & quiet". We are already missing the soundtrack of Sheep & Curlew! We will definitely return.
Sandra
Plenty of space and equipment for my husband me and the dog. Owners were extremely helpful and nothing was a problem for them. Lovely and clean plenty of water supplied and the view was to die for. Canâ??t praise this cottage enough.
Stephen
Every thing was good owners very helpful enjoyable week
Emma
We loved this cottage. The remoteness was just what we were looking for. Great walks from the door and so many fabulous places to drive to and visit. Cottage was very comfortable, especially the bed. Views from it are amazing and so peaceful.
Cath
This was a lovely stay in a beautiful and peaceful location. There are many walks from the doorstep and the sun hits the front of the house on the morning meaning even on winter days you can sit with a cuppa to greet the day ahead. Definite value for money and the owners are very helpful and friendly. Would certainly come back again thanks
