About this property

Cottage at Hillis Close Farm

Our cottage is a self contained annex to our farmhouse. It is centrally heated from a wood-burning stove in the sitting room for which we provide all fuel.
Enjoy a stay in our cosy cottage. There is a comfortable sitting/dining room for you to relax in. It has a beamed ceiling and wood-burning stove for you to snuggle up in front of. There is a TV, DVD/CD player and a bookcase of books and games for you to play. Free WI-Fi is also available.
Situated between Hadrian’s Wall and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty we are a small working farm with beautiful pedigree Beef Shorthorn cattle. We have spectacular views over the South Tyne valley towards both the Pennines and Hadrian’s Wall and are only a mile away from the South Tyne Trail and Lambley Viaduct (a fantastic cycle route).

Enjoy a stay in our comfortable farm cottage with an inglenook fireplace, beamed ceiling and woodburning stove. We have lovingly restored this old building. There is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom both with en-suite shower rooms, a living /dining room and small kitchen. There is a pretty cottage garden with picnic table and BBQ and parking for 2 cars.

Lovely country cottage
Particularly appreciated the proximity to Hadrian’s Wall attractions. Two en-suites are a bonus. Loved the wood burner.

We had a great stay in this spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage.
The cottage was very comfortable, really well equipped and conveniently close to Hadrian's Wall points of interest. We were very cosy with a generous supply of wood and fuel. It was a bonus that each bedroom had its own en-suite and the views from the cottage were lovely. Dorothy and Alan were friendly and helpful hosts, there were beautiful flowers and glorious shortbread in the living room on our arrival.

A lovely stay
A group of friends stayed here over the Easter weekend, a charming, cosy cottage in a beautiful location. We were able to do some great walks. The cottage has all you need for a short stay. Amazing value for money.

Fabulous!
Stayed 3 nights as a family with children aged 13,11 and 13 months. Cottage was absolutely lovely, a perfect retreat after busy days out. Location is perfect for many local attractions. Definitely recommend a visit to vindaloda!!! Lovely owners. We arrived to a roaring lit fire, fresh eggs and milk. Would love to return again.

Lovely snug cottage close to Hadrian's Wall
We had a wonderful time exploring the Wall and coming home to dry out and warm up by the wood stove in the cottage.

Just the getaway we were hoping for!
Comfortable, cosy, relaxing...Loved being able to have fire going full time with no worries about fuel. Walking from the doorstep and relaxing by fire was what we wanted, and enjoyed. In better weather we would have enjoyed sitting out in the garden. Made to feel welcome, yet private.

A lovely, homely little cottage in a perfect setting
My sister and I had four nights there. Very comfortable cottage. Great for touring the area - beautiful rivers and moorland, Hadrian's Wall and the lovely little town of Haltwhistle.

Amazing Weekend Break
The accommodation was immaculately clean, there was a log fire on the go for when we arrived along with full brew kit, some homemade shortbread (which didn’t last very long, it was gorgeous) and a bottle of wine. The owners were there to welcome us and give us any info we needed and were always on hand if we needed anything (which we didn’t). The location is amazing if you are just after some peace and quiet and lively views. Can not recommend enough.

Great Hosts, Wonderful Accommodation, Fab Location
The accommodation was ideal for two couples. The cottage was extremely comfortable and immaculately presented. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit Hadrian's wall and its many attractions. Our hostess, Dorothy, left us delicious shortbread, eggs, milk etc. She was also extremely helpful in pointing us towards a local walk. I would highly recommend this accommodation and we will certainly be back.

Cosy short break
Had a lovely two night short break to visit some Roman Britain sites and Hillis Close Farm Cottage was the ideal base for our stay. Plenty of space for all of us in the cottage (3 adults and 2 children) and it was very well equipped with comfortable beds. Very handy that each bedroom had an en-suite! We would definitely return!

Home from Home the 3rd time
We love coming to this cottage. We see it as our place to rest, relax and recharge. The cottage is cosy and we enjoyed the multifuel stove particularly on the colder and windier days. This time we stayed between Christmas and over New Year, there were some lovely touches - the small christmas tree and decorations gave it such a lovely warm feeling. We were able to get out and enjoy some nearby walks and some geocaching. Dorothy and Allan are great hosts, present but not intrusive.

Perfect for Hadrian’s Wall
A wonderful cottage in the beautiful countryside below Haltwhistle, perfectly located for visiting Hadrian’s Wall, Vindolanda, the Roman Army Museum and the forts either side. Dorothy and her husband are lovely and live next door on their 45 acre farm, which has beautiful cows and chickens. Peaceful, beautiful and a great place to stay. (Dorothy’s shortbread left, as a welcome gift, was to die for! The eggs were pretty great too..)

gemütliches kleines Cottage in der Nähe von römischen Ausgrabungen
Sehr klein, aber ausreichend für einen kurzen Urlaub. Sehr hübsch eingerichtet. Sauber. Hat eine Zentralheizung, zwei elektrische mobile Heizkörper und eine Feuerstelle. Es kann schnell kühl werden. Sehr nette Vermieter. Super gelegen, wenn man zum Hadrians Wall und den römischen Ausgrabungen möchte. Nur mit Auto zu empfehlen, die öffentliche Anbindung ist nicht so gut.
