Our accommodation for the week was "Marmic Cottage" in Rothbury.
Rothbury is a small town about 12 miles west of Alnwick, and is quite a good central base for walking in Northumberland as Hadrians Wall, the Cheviot hills and the coast are all within an hours drive or less.
Lovely place and can definitely recommend it - although they did seem to have a thing about ringing the church bells on a frequent basis!
The property was very clean and quite modern inside with fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower cubicle and a bath, and two bedrooms. The lounge area was a reasonable size and had Satellite TV, DVD player and stereo, and small library of books and DVD`s.
Cost was about £340 for the week (Saturday to Saturday), and it was located in the centre of Rothbury. The cottage was the perfect size for the two of us and all our walking gear(!) but the second bedroom is only a single so perhaps not suitable for more than three.
Rothbury itself has a few shops including Co-op convenience store, chippy and couple of cafes, an Indian restaurant/take-away, and a couple of pubs, plus butchers, post office etc. We drove to Alnwick for our main shopping for the week as there is a Morrisons and Sainsburys there (needed to stock up on Heinz tomato soup for our pack-ups!).
Right, now for the walks.....
