Peaceful Listed Cottage attached to Pele Tower with log stove

Situated amongst the hills, castles and beaches of Northumberland, Tower Cottage was originally built in the 16th Century, and is attached to the Pele Tower (dating from 1280 - also on HomeAway property 1873651) and like the tower, is Grade 2* listed. The great stone wall (complete with carved graffiti) forms one side of the kitchen. With a well equipped kitchen, and two double bedrooms, walk-in shower and large living room with log stove, it is a great place to wind down and spend a proper Northumbrian weekend in the hills. It has fields running down to an orchard and to the river in the middle of the village with lovely views into the Cheviots. Historically, it was the birthplace of Henry Ogle, inventor of the reaping machine in 1822 - a major contribution to modern farming.

Pets are welcome (no more than two, and not in the bedrooms - please have a mind to the fact that the next guests may be allergy sensitive)

If you wish to rent the Tower and the cottage together for a larger party, please contact us.

Peaceful cottage
The cottage is full of character and thoughtfully furnished. Actually enjoyed having no tv. Kids loved the outside space. Summer house was perfect on an evening. Within short driving distance from Alnwick - castle and garden. Communication with host excellent.

A lovely, historic stay. Everything you might need. Lovely, well decorated, furnished in keeping with the property, lovely original artwork displayed around the property also. No TV but we didn’t need one.

Great 4 night stay
We had a lovely peaceful break in a delightful cottage. The grounds are a lot larger than we thought they were going to be and having a dog, we were able to walk her around lovely cut grass paths (on a lead!). Sitting in the log cabin of an evening with a glass of sherry was very pleasant and relaxing. There are good walks around the village and further afield if required.

Recommended historic holiday home
Located at the centre of a historic and beautiful part of Northumberland, visited many castles and stunning coastlines. A rare chance to stay in such a beautiful building. Lack of Tv not a problem at all as there’s so much to see. Wi-Fi fine so we didn’t feel cut off at all. Large garden and pretty village excellent for dogs.

A well maintained, atmospheric property which the owners have decorated sympathetically and tastefully. A lot of thought had gone into supplying everything we needed for a restful and welcoming stay in a lovely peaceful location. The only issue we had was on our final night when the shower cartridge had slipped around making it impossible to turn off the shower, however the owner was very pleasant and eager to help us so this did not spoil our stay in any way. Whittingham is well situated for easy car trips into Alnwick, the Cheviots and the surrounding countryside. We would certainly recommend staying there.

Beautiful cottage
Unusual property with lovely little cabin in the garden. Too remote for us with no local facilities and no tv- we checked out two nights early . My mistake as clearly didn’t do enough research

Peaceful retreat
Excellent small cottage with period charm. Enough room for 3 of us and enough facilities both inside and out. Probably no local nightlife with no village pub but Alnwick is a short drive away and so is Rothbury. The locals were very friendly. The property is well presented and feels like the host wants you to have an excellent experience. If you have younger members staying with you, the Northumberland coast is not too far away and has great beaches and harbours to explore with great road links to the coast and north to the Scottish boarders.

A perfect, peaceful stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. A great three night break. The property is well equipped, homely and comfortable with great decor and furnishings. We made the best of its location and visited Cragside, Holy Island, Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands. Thank you so much.
