Description
Holiday home
Positioned on the outskirts of Haltwhistle, this 19th century cottage is a cosy home-from-home. Offering a very high standard of accommodation, this recently refurbished property is comprised of a fully fitted kitchen, living room with dining area, two bedrooms and a lovely patio in the property's walled garden. This is a fantastic retreat for the summer holidays with the facilities for al-fresco eating and a wide variety of outdoor activities nearby, though for those 'English Summer' days, the property is equipped with Sky TV, a DVD player and a stereo system so that even when it rains, you won't be bored. Known as the 'Centre of Britain', this small village is easily accessible by car, bus and train.

Home to The Black Bull – a proper, old fashioned pub, serving quality food and real ale – 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.

Visited the property in October, unfortunately there were a couple of issues in regard to damp and cleaning at the property including a damp smell throughout.. This was reported to Sykes and the owners who dealt with the issue satisfactorily. I do think the property is in need of some TLC and understand the owners have taken the feedback on board”

Very convenient for town centre & Hadrians Wall.. Nice old cottage, well equipped and with a secluded parking spot, with a gate, round the back where there was also a seating area. Only criticism is the old mattress - very uncomfortable.
Ms Strickland, November 2019

Kitchen very small, not enough worktop space for food preparation.. Bathroom very cramped. Shower was fine, but wash basin and toilet crammed together. Anyone large would really struggle. Off road parking space ok, but overhung by laurel bushes that needed pruning. Car was covered in pigeon droppings and sticky substance from trees.

A lovely compact cottage, very well equipped.. The location was perfect although it was unfortunate that there is a plant yard directly opposite which made late starts impossible. The cottage did smell rather damp, although it was obviously well cleaned.

Very enjoyable stay at Bridge cottage.. Well-equipped Cottage, well -situated for walks, visits to Hadrian’s Wall and Vindolanda. Plenty of shops and places to eat close by in the town. Considerate host who provided great information and a warm welcome including milk and chocolates.

Great location! We have a dog and there was a lane on the side of the terrace, by the stream that led one way to the river and the other up to Hadrians wall. The walk to Cawfield on Hadrians wall is a really pretty walk by the stream, up to Cawfields, on the wall. Cottage was ideal for us, Every facility you would need, lovely comfy bed, and tiled floor so easy to clean after the dog! Would definitely return, and recommend.

The cottage is in a good location for walking the dog, for take a ways and a good pub.. It is rather tired and lacks Wi-Fi connection, but it was warm and cosy and we had a lovely walking holiday.

There were many things that we felt let down on mainly the cottage was damp on the ground floor, to the point were we had to remove slugs that appeared.. The shower room was cold and very poor water pressure, it was hard to wash with water flow. Owner was friendly and welcoming,a mobile contact would have been useful.

Please note that mobile phone reception in the house can be poor.. My O2 could not get anysignal inside (although it did 5 yards from the front door!). Network 3 was fine both in & outside the cottage.

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.

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.
