The surroundings are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the heart of Hadrian's Wall Country, and provide excellent walking and fishing (there is fishing on the North Tyne 2 minutes from the property). The cottage is also located on the spectacular burn gorge walk, which leads to Hadrian's Wall. With the amenities of Haltwhistle close by, as well as access to attractions such as Alnwick Castle and the Heritage Coast, this makes a truly great base for a family holiday.

The small market town of Haltwhistle is a vibrant place, offering a wide range of shops and other amenities. Home to The Black Bull â a proper, old fashioned pub, serving quality food and real ale â the village is a welcoming place to return to following a day of walking, pony trekking or cycling. With the Pennine Way and other great cycle routes and Bridleways running nearby, it's easy to enjoy this stunning scenery, which boasts dramatic castles, surging rivers and beautiful forests. Those interested in the country's history are sure to enjoy a visit to one of the best preserved stretches of Hadrian's Wall, only a mile north of the village, and with an ongoing dig on the site of Vindolanda, it's easy to get in touch with the nation's past. If history isn't your cup of tea, then there is a regular train and bus service in to Newcastle and Carlisle, meaning that you can leave your car behind and enjoy the nightlife the big cities have to offer.

Reviews
Hasn’t had a good clean for a very long time hair’s etc behind sofas mold on the back of sofa .dust everywhere.cobwebs.towels stained could go on .
Smelt of damp. Wallpaper hanging off walls and ceilings. Paint on bedding. Flies, cobwebs not a pleasant stay .
This is a great little cottage but the second bedroom is very small. It is a bunk bed which is comfortable and big enough for adults but it swamps the room and there is very very little storage space. It would be fine for a family with 2 children but not suitable for 2 couples. It was fine for us, We tossed a coin for who was going to have the bunk room. We were two friends on a walking holiday. Unrelated to the cottage but relevant if you are going for a walking holiday along the wall the AD122 bus now only runs in Northumbria. We ended up with getting Sprouls taxis for the Cumbria bit! Recommend for a couple, but not 2 couples. The bathroom was a bit cold but did pick the coldest week in May to stay.
The area was wonderful and Haltwhistle made an excellent base.
The cottage was placed perfectly for touring the area we wanted, we even ventured over the border into Scotland and down to The Lakes. The cottage was exceptionally well equipped, and perfect for our needs.
We loved the general area, particularly Hadrian's Wall, the walking and the beauty of the landscape.
The cottage is in a great location for exploring Hadrian's Wall and is well equipped.
The cottage is in a fantastic location for walks and sightseeing.Plenty of local shops. Great pub nearby cooking great home cooked food.
The property was cosy and it began to feel like home. There were a lot of facilities in Haltwhistle and so close to dramatic scenery and sites of Hadrian's Wall.
Nice relaxing little cottage, small kitchen and lounge but big enough for the two of us and our little dog.
Very compact, not for large families, but very well located. Ideal for exploring the Roman Wall and the spectacular Northumberland scenery.
Bridge Cottage was set in an ideal place with easy access to Carlisle, Newcastle, Hadrians Wall & the surrounding countryside. The cottage was very well equipped & comfortable. Parking at rear was convenient. Although on a main road in Haltwhistle, we heard very little noise. A perfect holiday cottage.
A lovely cosy welcoming cottage. It was ideally located for many places of interest. After being out all day the cottage was a welcoming haven of tranquility.
Good location Haltwhistle - a great village with friendly folk and close to many tourist attractions.
A lovely cosy cottage in a nice area for walking.
The cottage was very well equipped, in a nice little village, with wonderful walks all around. We picked a car up at the airport, drove to the cottage and didn't use the car until the day we drove back to the airport!!!! We would go back again Haltwhistle was so convenient AND you can get there by train.
The property had lots of personal touches (cushions, ornaments, a well stocked crockery cupboard!) that made you feel like you were at a friends house!
We had a wonderful time at Bridge cottage, the cottage was very cosy and comfortable and there were plenty of brochures about that helped us choose where to go.
Excellent base for touring far north of England and Southern Scotland. Facilities in cottage were very good and a well thought out decor was pleasing.
Central location within easy access to all the places we wanted to visit.
Brilliant dog walking. Cottage very comfortable.
The weather was very good so we were able to visit lots of places. It is a beautiful part of the country, and we would like to go back sometime.
Central location for excellent access to many areas between coasts. Great walks.
