The small market town of Haltwhistle is a vibrant place, offering a wide range of shops and other amenities. Home to The Black Bull – an 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 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. There is also a regular train and bus service to Newcastle and Carlisle.
Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.

"We were met by the owner who had left us a bottle of wine and strawberries and cream as a welcome. The property was a good size for the four adults using it. It was all kitted out with everything one required. The location of the property was perfect for walking Hadrian's wall. There were also numerous other spectacular walks locally. The village of Haltwhistle was a small United Nations. We met and spoke to people from various parts of America, Holland, Germany as well as others from various parts of England. I would recommend the Black Bull pub in the centre of the town for a great atmosphere, different types of ales and good pub grub. The village has all the amenities you would require and there are plenty of takeaway shops nearby. The main town of Hexham is only 13 miles away if you require the major store chains, M&S, Waitrose, Tesco, Lidl, Next etc."

"We arrived quite late in the evening having had a long drive to get there and were very pleased with what we found. The cottage is kitted out to be a real home from home with every need catered for. The wine, chocolates, biscuits and milk were a really nice thought. Plenty of large fluffy towels, freesat tv, dvd player, dvds, books, log effect fire and comfy chairs to relax. The bed was extremely comfy and was hard to leave in the mornings. The area was stunning and even I managed a healthy walk each day. The food in the Black Bull is not to be missed as is the warm welcome :) I would definitely recommend this cottage. The landlady is very friendly. BTW the kettle is in the cupboard above the cooker :)"
