Cottages in Northumberland, Durham and the North East England coast.

Touring North East England

The atmospheric north east of England with its wild landscape, running from Yorkshire to the south to Northumberland in the north has an independent, rugged beauty. There are many holiday rental cottages in the north east from which you can explore the spectacular castles and the superb golden coastline by car, bicycle or on foot. Stay in anything from a clifftop castle on the Northumberland coast to a cosy pine lodge in the countryside of the Tees Valley. Sample some local hospitality in some of the characterful inns and restaurants that nestle among the gorse–tattooed beauty of the North Pennines. Or visit the wonderfully distinctive, cities of Newcastle, Gateshead and Durham. There are many reasons that you’ll want to stay in this beautiful corner of England and there are many carefully restored character cottages to stay in. There is also an increasing selection of eco-friendly cottages, using sources of sustainable energy and materials that impact less on the environment.
