Bardon Mill, an attractive village located in Northumberland, North of England, is home to The Snug, a quaint first-floor apartment ideal for couples seeking a relaxing getaway. This cozy accommodation, situated midway between Newcastle and Carlisle and just eight miles from Hexham, features steep, open-tread external steps leading to its entrance. The apartment is fully equipped with electric central heating and offers a comfortable lounge/bedroom area with a Freeview TV, DVD player, and a zip-and-link kingsize bed that can be converted into twin beds upon request. Guests will also find a well-appointed kitchen/dining room, a modern shower room, and a sitting-out area with furniture, all designed to ensure a delightful self-catering experience.
The Snug is set within the grounds of the owner's home, providing a peaceful and picturesque environment for visitors. The shared landscaped grounds include a summerhouse and additional sitting areas, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. The property offers convenient amenities such as Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels, and parking for one car, making it a comfortable and practical choice for travelers. However, guests should be mindful of the fenced stream located 20 yards from the grounds.
Accessibility to local attractions is a significant highlight of The Snug. The A69 road, easily reachable from the village, allows for convenient exploration of the historic region by car. Additionally, the nearby train station, only 250 yards away, connects Bardon Mill to the Newcastle to Carlisle railway line, providing services every two hours. This makes it easy for guests to visit vibrant cities like Newcastle, approximately 30 miles to the east, and Carlisle, 27 miles to the west, as well as explore the historic charms of Hadrian's Wall Country.
For those seeking further amenities, the nearby towns offer a variety of options. Haydon Bridge, located just four miles east, provides ample facilities, while Haltwhistle, recognized as 'the Centre of Britain,' boasts several shops, restaurants, and recreational facilities including a sports center and outdoor swimming pool. The historic market town of Hexham, dominated by its stunning abbey, is also just eight miles away and offers a wealth of amenities. Additionally, The Snug can be booked in conjunction with The Coach House Cottage (UK3008) to accommodate larger groups of up to six guests, making it an ideal choice for family or friends traveling together.
Self-catering cottage holidays in the UK and Ireland can still be a green option. You can have the comforts of home and the flexibility to do what you want; when you want - without the hassles of air travel!
