About this property
Lovely quiet cottage overlooking the Cheviot Hills, real fire, private gardens
Clayton Cottage is a real home from home, nestled in the tiny village of Howtel in a row of 10 traditional cottages, on a minor country road. All you can see from the front is rolling hills!
We have made sure that you have everything you need for your special self-catering cottage holiday, including wifi, local information leaflets of places to visit, books and maps.
Families are very welcome and there's so much to do and see locally, with castles at both Ford and Etal just 5 minutes away. We're happy for you to bring one well behaved dog.
Three bedrooms upstairs; double, twin and small single. Modern bathroom downstairs with bath and shower and lovely open plan lounge/dining area, with smart TV, real fire, settees, and a great view. Kitchen and utility has all you need and although the cottage has heating, we also make sure you have wood and coal for the real fire stove if desired.
Clayton Cottage is situated right on the edge of the Cheviot Hills, so the views are spectacular and you can walk in any direction straight from the cottage. The local farm is well maintained and quiet - apart from the odd sheep in the fields around us!
If you're looking for a quiet get-away, in a truly rural setting, then look no further.
We also use our little cottage regularly, so it's kept in tip top condition. For your safety we've fitted double hand rails on the stairs, thermostatic shower and smoke and CO2 alarms. (No smoking please.)
There a private and fenced rear garden and off road parking to the rear. BBQ and garden furniture provided.
Find Clayton Cottage on Facebook or Google too for some more photos.

About the host
Hosted by Simon & Liz Rowland
We love to visit our Northumberland cottage whenever we get chance. Our 3 children also love it in Northumberland and as a family we've had some fantastic walks on the beaches and hills, visited some ancient castles, enjoyed stunning views and eaten in lovely pubs and restaurants - all close by.
We've made it a home from home, so we think you'll enjoy your stay too!!

Why they chose this property
We had stayed several times in the holiday cottage next door and when we saw our cottage for sale we couldn't resist it. The views of the Cheviot Hills from the cottage are amazing and its sunny position and private garden just sealed it for us.
We live in a village ourselves so wanted a quiet location for our holiday cottage too.
Northumberland is simply beautiful, and the walks along the beaches at Bamburgh (only 30 minutes away) or the Cheviot Hills (from the front door of Clayton Cottage) are amazing.

What makes this property unique
Clayton Cottage is in a quiet rural setting, overlooking the Cheviot Hills. There's off road parking and secure private gardens. Also a lockable large shed if you are taking bikes.
At night the stars are amazing!! There is no light pollution and therefore the Milky Way is clearly visible and an amazing sight...And in January 2016 we even saw the Northern Lights!
