Orchard Mews

Orchard Mews Cottage is simply divine!
Originally a carriage house, recently sympathetically renovated to provide luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation Orchard Mews Cottage now offers the height of decadence. Immaculately presented throughout and with much thought, care and attention to the finer details, this gorgeous property oozes charm and character. The lovely arched windows enhances the bright and airy ambience in the main living space and where there is a quirky feature stone stairwell; it would have once led to the Grooms quarters in its 19th century days. Today, this stunning property offers contemporary accommodation to a superior standard. The well-equipped kitchen offers alternative dining and leads out to a private and sheltered terrace via a few stone steps; a superb spot to dine alfresco. With three immaculately presented bedrooms, the master enjoying the added convenience of en-suite facilities on the first floor along with a fresh family bathroom, Orchard Mews Cottage is suitable for the gathering of families and friends alike, or for those couples seeking something rather special.....
Orchard Mews Cottage is tucked in a quiet courtyard behind the main street of the picture postcard village of Rothbury. Its private setting is surprisingly peaceful with a good degree of seclusion. Yet there is a wide array of facilities including several shops, pubs and quaint tea rooms all within a mere gentle stroll from Orchard Mews Cottage. Fishing for salmon and trout on the River Coquet is a popular pastime (permits available locally) and golf can be arranged on the idyllic riverside course close by. The National Trust property of Cragside was the first home to be lit by hydro-electricity and the elegant house and its grounds are a popular visitor attraction close by. Rothbury is the ideal base from which to explore the Northumberland National Park where the boundary is only 2 miles away and is appealing to ramblers and cyclists with its many excellent walks on the doorstep, from gentle riverside strolls to climbing the imposing Simonside Hills, which form a great sandstone ridge and Special Area of Conservation with 360 degree views from coast to hills. The Lordenshaws have impressive remains of an Iron Age Hillfort, Bronze Age burials and rock carvings set in open heather moorland. The bustling market town of Alnwick is only a short drive to the east and is protected by its dramatic castle, the ancestral home to the Duke of Northumberland (notably famous as the film location for Harry Potter!). Enjoy a trip to the superb Alnwick Garden, with its Grand Cascade Waterfall and sample the restaurant in the largest tree house in Europe.
The Heritage coastline this area is renowned for, and designated as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is less than 20 miles from Rothbury ensuring Orchard Mews Cottage provides an excellent central base for exploring both the wild and lonely vistas of the unspoilt heather-capped hills to the west along with the golden expanses of glorious sandy beaches to the east.
