The Experience
It may be called a bothy but it’s spacious with high vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, well-equipped with all the basics you need to cook and very swish. Underfloor heating and an electric fire keep you cosy even when the weather is having a tantrum and there are plenty of books and games plus a smart TV. Settle in on a very comfy sofa (also a sofa bed for extra folk) and feel well away from hustle and bustle.
Stride footpaths and through woods to the popular Boatside Inn, two miles, for a pint of ale, good pub grub or a grand Sunday lunch – bring the dog too. Stock up in Hexham, a 10-minute drive, and a popular market town. Return to open the wine, light the barbecue and watch the sun go down and the stars come out from the patio – there’s scant light pollution here.
Sleep soundly on a thick mattress with crisp Egyptian cotton and a soft woollen throw – nothing will shatter the deep peace and you should wind down nicely.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're on the edge of the National Park. You can walk to Hexham (five miles) for the wonderful abbey - one of the earliest seats of Christianity in England. In the opposite direction you can walk to Hadrian's Wall (or drive 20 minutes) for this iconic World Heritage Site. Corbridge (a 25-minute drive) has posher shops, a riverside walk and a Roman site. Fish, visit castles and stunning beaches.
Local points of interest from Emma & James Middleton
- A trip to Northumberland is not complete without heading to the coast. Explore the unspoilt beaches, castles, coastal paths and delicious local cuisine. One of our favourites is a walk at Newton-by-the-Sea and a crab sandwich at the Ship Inn.
- Cyclists will love Kielder water and forest, a haven for wildlife (red squirrels, deer and otters) The Lakeside way is a 27-mile trail, everyone from littleies on balance bikes, mountain bikers and wheelchair users will enjoy this spectacular scenery.
- History and culture, walking or cycling, Hadrian’s Wall has everything to offer. Take a picnic, enjoy the panoramic views or pop to the Twice Brewed Inn for lunch, you can even visit their on-site Brew House. The Sill visitor centre is right next door.
- Book a ticket for Tynedale Beer Festival and witness first-hand the warm and friendly Geordie hospitality whilst sampling one of the 100's of beers, ales, ciders and more. If running is your thing, The Great North Run is a must, the atmosphere is electric.
- Explore the picturesque village of Corbridge, perusing the many independent shops (RE - is a favourite homeware store). Once you have filled your car and had a walk along the river, relax with a cuppa at Tea & Tipple or grab a bite of lunch at The Angel.
- Just up the road from Stay On The Hill is the highly acclaimed Michelin star restaurant, HJEM. Fine dining Scandinavian cuisine, using the best Northumbrian produce, in a tasting menu format. An absolute must, but table reservations necessary.

Introducing
Emma & James Middleton
The cottages are part of Warden Estates, a traditional working farm owned by Emma’s family. She and her husband James moved back here with their young children - they love walking and cycling, so have created the spaces with great thoughtfulness for like-minded people. They’ll happily leave you delicious homemade meals in the freezer or gather together a hamper of local produce for your arrival.
If you love the wind in your hair and a view to die for, then this is the one for you. Simply stunning on the hill top.
