Only a short stroll away from Hexham Abbey and The Sele, this historic home promises easy access to the best sights in Northumberland. We're sure you'll want to explore the Roman forts of Corstopium and Chesters, then drive to the World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall. Whether you go stargazing on the North Pennines or paddling across Kielder Water, you're guaranteed to experience an enriching holiday here with your family. Take off your muddy boots and enter a 19th-century building, where the old stone walls wrap around an inviting living area. In this ground-floor apartment, you'll wake up feeling refreshed in a cosy bedroom. Saunter into the kitchen and put the kettle on, where you can play your favourite CDs while you cook breakfast. After returning from an action-packed adventure, gather your loved ones at this wooden dining table and chat about your day. There's even a bookcase and a DVD player waiting, so you'll never be stuck for nightly entertainment.

About The North Pennines
It’s official – the North Pennines are beautiful. Designated an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO geological heritage site, this undulating area of North Yorkshire has spectacular scenery and a landscape that could tell the story of aeons gone by. Tiny stone-house villages and hamlets dot the valleys and cluster around babbling rivers – Bowlees is particularly idyllic and is home to the North Pennines information centre....
