Cottage in Morpeth
Reasons to book
About this cottage rental
Set in the heart of Morpeth just by St James Park, there is an abundance of cafés, high-quality bars, restaurants, and bistros, and some wonderful bespoke shops, meander through the Edwardian Sanderson Arcade, restored to full glory with shops to delight all age groups. The streets and parks in Morpeth will always have flowers and the small town is popular with local folks, particularly the arts and crafts gallery set in the 13th-century Chantry at the bottom end of the town.
For those that like some history, the county of Northumberland (which is reputedly the friendliest county in England) is steeped in history. The heritage coastline, with its miles of golden beaches, is peppered with castles. Travel north to the enchanting tiny island of Lindisfarne, known as Holy Island, or take a day in Alnwick where the Duke still resides in the 700-year-old castle. The castle has been favoured for the movie scenes featured in Harry Potter, Braveheart, and Downton Abbey; visitors love to visit here and then go onto the Duchess’s famous water gardens. If hiking is your thing, the nearby Cheviots are perfect but if not, then perhaps take a day over to Cragside House in Rothbury only a half hour away the first house to be powered by hydroelectricity.
A golf course is nearby in Morpeth as is the train station where you can leave your car and hop on a train to Newcastle, Edinburgh, or York to experience a lovely day trip. Nearby Newcastle is steeped in history, here you can admire the beautiful buildings on Grey Street and experience some wonderful food and drinks, then meander down to the quayside and take a look at the Tyne Bridge, wherever you go in and around Silver Cottage, you will be sure to receive a real warm ‘Geordie’ welcome.
