Self-catering staycations in Northumberland, northeast England
Staycations are increasing in popularity year on year. Make this summer the time to discover your own country and book a cottage holiday in the northeast of England, in Northumberland.
Unless you actually live in Northumberland, the chances are that you may have never explored this stunning county. The phrases that spring to mind when describing Northumberland’s countryside are: natural, craggy, rocky, forested, wild, remote. Go to the Northumberland National Park, Kielder Forest or windswept beaches where seals laze overlooked by ancient castles.
A stone-built cottage for your visit to Northumberland
Many of the older houses in Northumberland are made of stone, designed to withstand centuries of weather. Thick stone walls make interiors of the cottages cosy in winter and cool in summer. Perhaps find a self-catering property to rent that is beautifully furnished to a high standard and yet retains features of old, flagged floors in the kitchen, rustic wood beams or huge fireplaces. It is always interesting to stay in a house with character.
Modern practical holiday homes
However, if you prefer modern properties, there are also plenty of holiday bungalows, log cabins and barn conversions to rent for a week at a time.
Although each property is a fully-functional quality holiday accommodation, they vary in terms of speciality. There will be wheelchair accessible properties among them, those with walled gardens that would have an appeal to holidaymakers who value their privacy or bring dogs with them, the more luxurious collections with a swimming pool, gym, hot tubs and similar leisure facilities.
