The Bothy - Self-catering in Northumberland
The Fourstones, Hexham, NE47 5DX, Northumberland
England,
Reino Unido
It may be called a bothy but it's spacious with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, well-equipped with all the basics you need to cook and very swish. Underfloor heating and an electric fire keep you cosy even when the weather is having a tantrum and there are plenty of books and games plus a smart TV. Settle in on a very comfy sofa (also a sofa bed for extra folk) and feel well away from hustle and bustle.
Stride footpaths and through woods to the popular Boatside Inn, two miles, for a pint of ale, good pub grub or a grand Sunday lunch - bring the dog too. Stock up in Hexham, a 10-minute drive, and a popular market town. Return to open the wine, light the barbecue and watch the sun go down and the stars come out from the patio - there's scant light pollution here.
Sleep soundly on a thick mattress with crisp Egyptian cotton and a soft woollen throw - nothing will shatter the deep peace and you should wind down nicely.

Emma & James Middleton:
- A trip to Northumberland is not complete without heading to the coast. Explore the unspoilt beaches, castles, coastal paths and delicious local cuisine. One of our favourites is a walk at Newton-by-the-Sea and a crab sandwich at the Ship Inn.
- Cyclists will love Kielder water and forest, a haven for wildlife (red squirrels, deer and otters) The Lakeside way is a 27-mile trail, everyone from littleies on balance bikes, mountain bikers and wheelchair users will enjoy this spectacular scenery.
- History and culture, walking or cycling, Hadrian’s Wall has everything to offer. Take a picnic, enjoy the panoramic views or pop to the Twice Brewed Inn for lunch, you can even visit their on-site Brew House. The Sill visitor centre is right next door.
- Book a ticket for Tynedale Beer Festival and witness first-hand the warm and friendly Geordie hospitality whilst sampling one of the 100's of beers, ales, ciders and more. If running is your thing, The Great North Run is a must, the atmosphere is electric.
- Explore the picturesque village of Corbridge, perusing the many independent shops (RE - is a favourite homeware store). Once you have filled your car and had a walk along the river, relax with a cuppa at Tea & Tipple or grab a bite of lunch at The Angel.
