Cottages in Northumberland Travel Chapter

Northumberland is unique along England's counties in being mostly large and empty, and until recently relatively undiscovered by visitors. These days it's a bit less off the beaten track, but it remains a largely rural county, known for a beautiful coastline, lined with long sandy beaches, a pristine interior, some contained within the the Northumberland National Park, and of course famously Dark Skies.

All of this and more can be best enjoyed by staying over for at least a few days and experiencing the delights of Northumberland first-hand, and the best way as ever to do this is to rent a cottage, preferably through a knowledgeable regional specialist like Cottages in Northumberland. They do what they say on the tin, with a wide-ranging portfolio of holiday cottages across the length and breadth of the county ranging from coastal cottages to tranquil inland retreats and even stylish city pads in the centre of Newcastle – the region's one real urban centre. They have large properties for parties, romantic boltholes for couples and dog-friendly cottages that welcome all the family, but most importantly they know the region intimately so are always able to advise on precisely the best place to suit your plans.
