This 2-bedroom cottage is a single-storey converted stable sleeping four guests in Milfield, a small village on the northern edge of Northumberland National Park. Original features including exposed stonework, vaulted ceilings and stunning exposed trusses give this property a warm rustic feel that sets it apart from a standard holiday cottage.

Milfield sits at the foot of The Cheviots. Circular walks from the village lead to Ford Moss Nature Reserve, Lanton and Yeavering Bell. The village has a café, shop and pub within easy reach. Wooler, a market town with independent shops, pubs and restaurants, is just 5.5 miles away.

The property has two bedrooms. The king-size bedroom has French doors opening onto the outside area with peaceful countryside views. The twin bedroom features exposed beams and statement wallpaper. One spacious family bathroom has a bath, separate shower and WC. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area has a wood burner and a large wooden dining table.

Bamburgh Castle and beach are 21 miles east. Yeavering Bell Iron Age hillfort is walkable from the village. The Northumberland National Park Visitor Centre in Wooler is 5.5 miles (12 mins) away. The enclosed sunny courtyard is perfect for al fresco dining.

This rental suits couples and small families wanting proper countryside. Great walking, coastal day trips and genuine peace and quiet.
