Description
Stonecrop is a much loved country cottage with a beautiful garden and small orchard in a stunning part of rural Northumberland. Many of our guests return year on year.
It is within easy reach of Hadrian’s Wall and the South Tynedale railway whilst being secluded, and surrounded by wonderful walks, woods and fells.
The Cottage is a listed, stone built property, dating back to 1760. It retains much of its original charm and character. The cosy lounge has a log stove in an inglenook fireplace, and the light and attractive kitchen (with underfloor heating) has lovely views overlooking the orchard and garden and towards the South Tyne river. There is a small cloakroom and utility area downstairs and a study with a sofabed.
Upstairs there are two comfortable double bedrooms and a single room with bunk beds. The bathroom is well equipped. The Cottage has good wifi.
The attractive gardens surround the Cottage and include a large rear garden (with sand pit) together with an established orchard which are all wonderfully private. From the garden there are super views across the valley and over to the fells.
The property is idyllically situated in the quiet hamlet of Eals, which is a cluster of about a dozen houses, situated along a no-through road. The South Tyne river runs alongside and forms the perfect backdrop. The valley is heavily wooded with lovely unspoilt countryside all around.
The valley is a haven for birds including curlews, oyster-catchers, cuckoos and snipe. The birds on the feeders in the garden are also very special with regular visitors including siskin, woodpecker and mistlethrush. At night you will often hear owls and herons. The night skies are as good as anywhere in the Country.
There are lovely walks from the doorstep in all directions including along part of the Pennine Way, and along a now disused section of the former Haltwhistle to Alston railway - which makes for an excellent trail or cycleway.
You can take the popular narrow gauge railway line from its Alston terminus to Slaggyford - only 2 miles from the Cottage.
Stonecrop is located within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is conveniently close to Hadrian's Wall and Northumberland National Park. It is also within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales, the Scottish Borders and the English Lakes. Ullswater for example is about a 40 minute drive away.
The house has been the much loved holiday home of the present owners for the past 60 years. If you are looking to escape the madding crowds then Stonecrop provides the ideal retreat for children and adults alike.
We are happy for you to bring a dog (max 2) providing they are well behaved. For further information about the Cottage go to our own website - search for Stonecrop, Northumberland. Ours is the whitewashed one.
We also rent out a lovely garden flat in the centre of Edinburgh - please contact us if you're interested or look online on this site at property 9283937.

“Fantastic”
We had a lovely stay at Stonecrop. Everything we needed was there. Lots of games for children and dvds. The garden is a lovely size to relax in or for children to play in. You can take a circular walk from the cottage, across the River and back past the Kirkstyle pub. The owner is prompt to reply to any queries.
“A beautiful haven of peace and relaxation”

“Beautiful place”
We stayed here for a week with our two children and our dog. The garden is amazing and the view from the garden is beautiful. This cottage is really well equipped with everything you need. The nearest supermarket is Sainsbury’s in Haltwhistle. There is a leisure centre in Haltwhistle with a lido! We spent a full day at the lido, take a picnic though as it was busy and it took the guys a long time to serve food. Beautiful walks surrounding the cottage and the neighbours were really friendly. Richard was very helpful and upon arrival he had left us a bottle of wine and some chocolates! When we arrived, our sat nav tried taking us into Whitwam farm, don’t go that way as it’s not a road you can drive on! We had a meal at the Angel Inn in Alston, the food was lovely and generous portions. We had a day out at Talkin tarn, beautiful place! If you are looking for peace and tranquility then this is the place to stay! Would highly recommend.
“Perfect Holiday Cottage”
I’ve never left a trip advisor review before but as this place is fantastic I have too! The garden is so tranquil with beautiful views and the cottage has everything you need, our kids loved it! We were here for 4 nights and spent most days exploring Hadrian’s Wall & forts and never really explored the area around the cottage but will do on our next visit. Amazing place, thank you Richard and Emma
