Casting Stones

Immerse yourself in nature with a stay in this classic country cottage, surrounded by lush green fields and picturesque lakes in Belsay, Northumberland.

As soon as you step inside, you can feel this home wrap you up in its warmth. Cosy furnishings coupled with traditional features such as exposed wooden beams make this a true home-away-from-home. We love the farmhouse-style galley kitchen, perfect for rusting up a traditional English breakfast to put fuel in your belly before embarking on an adventure outdoors. Suitably nourished, pull on your wellies and take a quiet stroll down the leafy lane to your private lake with your four-legged friend at your heel – with walks aplenty in the surrounding area, this is definitely a holiday your dog doesn’t want to miss out on. With the quiet of nature surrounding you and the birds chirping happily in the trees, you’ll struggle to find a more peaceful spot.

After a few exhilarating hours exploring the local area on foot, return home and in winter months, light the log burner and warm your tired feet in front of the fire. Pour yourself a glass of red, and it’s the perfect way to unwind. This charming country home will have you relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated in no time.
