Why is Larch Cottage one of the most popular holiday properties for 2024?
Holidaycottages.co.uk said Larch Cottage is already booked out in May and June, and with limited availability for July, August and September – but there is still time to book your stay.
It adds: “If you like your holidays tranquil and remote, Northumberland is the place to go.
“This single-storey lodge is built with beautiful yellow stone with some wooden cladding to give it a slight Scandi feel.
“The inside is truly marvellous. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer far-reaching views, so sit down in the spacious open-plan living area and fire up the wood burner.
“The décor offers bright colours with wooden touches here and there, and the skylights above the kitchen are perfect for a little stargazing while cooking dinner.”
Following one visitors stay in 2023, they said: “Excellent choice for us, if you want peace and quiet with stunning views look no further.
“The cottage is well appointed with quality fittings and furniture, beautiful throughout, and plenty of space.
“It was noticeable how clean the cottage is. Nice welcome pack for humans and doggies alike.”
