About this property

5 star luxury for 2 in beautiful tranquil countryside

Woodside is an award winning luxury 5 star Gold self-catering holiday cottage for 2 near Hexham and Corbridge, Northumberland. Nestled in the gardens of an 18th century cottage five miles south of Hexham, with far reaching views over a wild life pond and pastureland, towards Slaley Forest and the North Pennines, it provides a peaceful and contemporary retreat ideally situated for exploring the world heritage site of Hadrian's Wall, Kielder Water and Forest Park, and the Northumberland Heritage coast. The spectacular landscape of the North Pennines AONB is to the south west, and the bright lights of Newcastle and Gateshead are twenty miles east.

The half vaulted living space has a light and airy sitting area with a leather sofa, flat screen television with Freesat, contemporary fireplace, DVD player and ipod dock. Wide bi fold doors lead on to the terrace, with far reaching views over pasture and woodland. The granite topped kitchen/diner is fully equipped with an induction hob, electric oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washer dryer, and a comprehensive range of kitchen utensils. The bedroom is stylishly furnished with a super king size bed which can be made up as two singles on request, oak wardrobe and side tables. Non allergenic duvets and pillows and pure cotton bed linen add to the experience. The adjoining fully tiled shower room has a large walk in shower, wash hand basin and loo. Outside there is a large decked area with a table and chairs, parasol, barbeque, and planters. Here you can sit and enjoy the tranquil views over farmland and watch the birdlife - in spring the curlews and lapwings gathering on the meadow, while in the summer the swallows swoop and dive over the grass, and buzzards soar lazily over the woodland. A separate lockable dry storage area is available for bulky items such as walking gear, bicycles etc.

A welcome pack, loo paper, cleaning products, tea, coffee, milk, sugar & biscuits, and complimentary toiletries are included

A little gem
This property was wonderful. Exactly as seen in the photos, with a lovely view. Lots of extra special touches which made us feel really welcomed - warm scones with jam and cream, fresh flowers in the lounge and bedroom. Bathrobes, a welcome basket with fruit and biscuits etc. Absolutely could not fault this property and Gill and Neil were very welcoming and happy to help in any way. Would very much recommend this property to anyone wanting a quiet countryside break in beautiful Northumberland. 5 stars all the way from us. Julie and Bill.

Comfort and tranquility
Woodside Lodge was a wonderfully comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The kitchen is fully equipped and easy to use, the lounge area is very comfortable with a wonderful view through the large doors out to the decking and fields beyond. The bed is very comfortable and the shower sparkling clean with plenty of hot water. Gill is a lovely host and she left a basket of fruit, some milk and juice and some tasty fresh scones with homemade jam.

What makes this property unique

Woodside Lodge is situated in quiet and tranquil countryside, yet is within easy reach of Northumberland's attractions such as Hadrian's Wall, Vindolanda, the National Park and the Heritage coast. To the south is the dramatic and unspoilt landscape of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Outside, there is a large decked terrace, furnished with a dining table and chairs, parasol, barbeque and planters. You can relax here and enjoy tranquil views over farmland and the large wildlife pond. The birdlife is especially interesting; in spring, watch the curlews and lapwings gathering on the meadow, while, in summer, swallows swoop and dive over the grass and buzzards soar lazily over the woodland. The field in front of Woodside Lodge is part of a working farm, so you may also see livestock (cattle or sheep).
