Saint Cuthbert was a monk bishop associated with Lindisfarne (Holy Island) and after his death he became one of the most important medieval saints in northern England. Cuddy’s Cave is an overhanging outcrop of sandstone rock, and it is reputed that the monks of Lindisfarne brought Saint Cuthbert’s body here following Viking raids. This historic site is within an easy drive of Cuddy’s Rest. Belford is a small, friendly town where there are pubs, a tea room and a supermarket all within walking distance of Cuddy’s Rest. The small town of Wooler is situated 10 miles west of Belford and is a popular destination for those who enjoy outdoor activities. The challenging route of ’St Cuthbert’s Way’ runs close by. The quintessentially coastal village of Bamburgh with its impressive castle and stunning stretch of golden sands is only 6 miles east. The historic market towns of Alnwick to the south and Berwick-upon-Tweed to the north are equidistant at 15 miles away, making Cuddy’s Rest a superb base for couples wishing to explore this beautiful part of north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders too. Beach 6 miles. Shop 200 yards, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Ideal base for exploring the Northumberland Coast and Cheviots.
Ideal base for exploring the Northumberland Coast and Cheviots. Perfect for us: cosy, well equipped and comfortable. Every detail covered. Owners have thought of everything even down to a bottle opener. Lots of storage space in the bedroom. Friendly hosts. Plenty of pubs, chip shop and Co op within walking distance. Peaceful village. Thanks very much; we really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely cottage perfectly located to explore Northumberland.
A lovely cottage perfectly located to explore Northumberland. We received a very friendly welcome from the owner, and found the cottage to be very comfortable, well equipped, and spotless.Although we don’t have a dog, and no pets are permitted at Cuddy’s Rest, the pubs in Belford are very dog friendly. There is a good bus service to Berwick or Alnwick, which is great if you fancy a day off driving or a pub lunch out.Belford was a great location for visiting Bamburgh, Berwick, Seahouses, Alnwick and Cragside.. Cuddy’s Rest was an ideal cottage for two, and we highly recommend it. We had a lovely time, thank you.
