Northumberland’s key sightseeing destinations are only a short drive from our luxury holiday cottages. 

Cheviot Holiday Cottages are located in the tranquil Breamish Valley on the edge of the Cheviot Hills & Northumberland National Park.

To give you a better example of just how central our holiday cottages are, we have created a map showing Northumberland’s highlights and their distance from the cottages.

Northumberland is scattered with an amazing array of castles, ruins, historic houses and their gardens. We have selected just a few highlights to start you off on your adventures.

Lindisfarne Castle, Holy Island

The 28-mile drive is all worth it once you cross those sands, freshly reappearing with the causeway, and you discover this beautiful island and its historic past.
