Get away from it all and escape to historic Holmhead Farm Cottage, forming part of the traditional farmhouse where the owner runs a B&B. The farm is constructed out of stone recovered from an old Roman wall on which it sits, safeguarded by the ruins of Thirlwall Castle - what a location!
The cottage is very well equipped and comfortably furnished offering excellent holiday accommodation for four people. The first floor bedrooms; one double and a twin, have a country cottage feel with great views of the Castle. On the ground floor there’s an open plan living room with exposed stone wall, French doors onto the garden and TV with Freesat. The kitchen area is very well equipped and comes complete with dishwasher and the contemporary bathroom has a bath with shower over.
Get out and about and explore this beautiful area on the Cumbria/Northumberland border. A great place for walking with Hadrian's Wall and Pennine Way closeby. The forts of Vindolanda, Birdoswald, Housesteads and Chesters are easily reached and The Roman Army Museum is just three quarters of a mile by foot. 18 miles to the west is the city of Carlisle. There is a good selection of shops and the castle, cathedral and Tullie House Museum are worth a visit. The market town of Hexham is 19 miles east. Haltwhistle 3 miles offers shops, outdoor swimming pool and tennis. Golf 0.5 mile.
