Description

Belford 1.6 miles.

The Boathouse is a stunningly-presented cabin perched on the edge of a lake in Middleton near Belford, Northumberland.

Boasting a serene location and proximity to the coast, it's a perfect, pet-friendly base for couples seeking an idyllic getaway.

Come inside to find a spacious studio-style layout, with floor-to-ceiling windows flooding in natural light.

Here you'll find a king-sized bed to sink into and catch some rest after a long day out, a well-equipped kitchen for preparing romantic meals, a dining area to enjoy them, and a sitting area with a balcony offering stunning views of the lake and countryside.

After a day of exploration, retreat to the wonderful bathroom for a relaxing soak.

In the mornings, make yourself some breakfast and head down to the patio where you can enjoy your food, breathe in the fresh air, and marvel at views of the water.

When the weather is warm, make use of the barbecue and see if you can spot the resident otters!

Venture out to explore the charming village of Belford, where you can visit the historic Belford Hall and immerse yourself in the local history at the Belford Hidden History Museum.

Take a break at the Well House Coffee Shop for a delicious cup of coffee and a sweet treat.

For a day trip, head to the iconic Holy Island where you can visit the impressive Lindisfarne Castle and Gertrude Jekyll Garden, explore the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory, and stop by the Museum and Shop to pick out some souvenirs to commemorate your trip.

Enjoy a meal at The Crown & Anchor, a local favourite for fresh seafood and traditional dishes.

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the picturesque coastal town of Bamburgh, home to the stunning Bamburgh Beach and the historic Bamburgh Castle.

Very disappointing - photo on site misleading as lake is actually covered in vegetation; unable to contact owners despite several attempts; toilet seat cracked; bathroom door sticks when shut; no instructions for any equipment; no gate at end of decking apparently expected to move broken off back of garden bench; both deckchairs appear to be broken and tied together; nowhere to hang wet coats or shoes.

Overall, accommodation was excellent as was the location.

A beautiful location and views, perfect for local walks and just a short drive to local beaches and attractions.

The only negative would be that the giant panoramic windows which are amazing for the surrounding scenery are not especially great for blocking out early sunlight so be prepared for early mornings if sensitive to light. A good sleep mask is highly advised! Everything else was just perfect!
