Located on the edge of the Northumberland National Park in the hamlet of Thropton, Rose Cottage is a characterful stone-built cottage. Just a short walk to the locally popular Three Wheat Heads Inn, the property has plenty to offer right on its doorstep.

About this property

The cosy living area has a comfy leather sofa and a flat screen TV, and also a woodburning stove for those cold Northumberland winter nights. After a busy day, you can kick back on the sofa and keep up with your favourite shows on Freeview or streaming apps. Also sharing this space is the dining area which features a solid wooden table and matching padded chairs.

Rose Cottage boasts a stunning high shine, white coloured kitchen which is fully equipped for self-catering staycations. Here you can make the most of all the modern appliances on offer including an oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster and a fridge.

Rose Cottage has two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom has storage space aplenty and a comfortable king size bed, decked out in plush bedding and premium bed linens to ensure you have a great night’s sleep.

The second bedroom has a single bed with stunning views across the Thropton rooftops and over to the moorland in the distance. While not as large as the master bedroom, still offers a cosy night's sleep in lavish bedding, while you’ll be able to store your belongings in the built-in wardrobe.

The family bathroom has a large walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, along with a heated towel rail, bathroom cabinet and shaving mirror.

A door from the kitchen opens out onto the private garden which showcases peace and tranquillity. Take a seat on the grassed area and enjoy the sounds of the countryside while you drink your morning coffee or treat yourself to a late tipple where you can watch the sky go dark and the clouds burn orange as evening turns to night.

The area

Thropton is a hamlet in Northumberland, located on the River Coquet, and its tributary Wreigh Burn. The hamlet is situated just two miles west of the town of Rothbury.

Rothbury is at the heart of Northumberland’s countryside. This traditional market town is a peaceful and picturesque haven, which is built of the same mellow sandstone as the rolling hills that surround it.

Enjoy the scenery with the many walking and cycling routes around the town, and take in the beautiful River Coquet meandering through the centre. Due to its location, Rothbury is an ideal base for exploring Northumberland and all it has to offer, including Simonside Hills, the Cheviot Hills, and Northumberland National Park.

Once you’ve appreciated the landscape and the wildlife, you can always relax at the many shops, pubs, and tea rooms on Rothbury’s bustling high street. On a sunny day enjoy watching the world go by on the green. Visit Tully’s which is an excellent independent grocers and delicatessen selling local produce, artisan bread, and much more.

Visit Cragside House, Gardens and Estate, an impressive Victorian building described as ‘a palace of the modern magician’. Rising from an outcrop of rocks and surrounded by towering trees, Cragside is a masterpiece of late nineteenth century architecture.

Rothbury Golf Club which is only 2.5 miles away from the property and is an 18-hole golf course that accepts visitors.

A third of a mile from the cottage to the west of Thropton is a garage and shop with a butchers and bakery section so you'll be able to purchase all of the essentials for your stay nearby.

The nearest train station to Thropton can be found in Acklington where there are routes to Carlisle, Cramlington, Haltwhistle, Hexham, Morpeth, Newcastle and Prudhoe.

“Our end of terrace comfortable Rose cottage was situated in Thropton, Northumberland. Good location, plenty of walks straight from the front door, Rothbury 3 miles by either hilly path or 'riverside' path. Walking distance to a fantastic pub, The Three Wheat Heads Inn, (300 metres 'ish) and a very modern Spa supermarket/petrol station with butchers and deli inside at the other end of the village (700 metres 'ish). We enjoyed our 7 day break!”

“Wonderful long weekend at Rose Cottage. The local area is beautiful and there are so many options for fantastic walks within 10 mins drive, as well as from the doorstep. The cottage is beautiful, clean and modern. The log fire was so cosy and perfect for a cosy evening in. The beds were really comfy and it was great having a garden for the dog. We really enjoyed our weekend”
