Explore the stunning Northumberland landscape, as well as enjoying out of hours access to the grounds at Wallington, when you stay at Bolt Cottage.

This traditional stone-built cottage is nestled in the heart of the estate and surrounded by trees. It has two bedrooms upstairs (one double and one twin) and makes the perfect bolthole for couples or small families escaping the bustle of everyday life to the peace, quiet and wildlife-filled magic of Wallington. Downstairs you’ll find the living room with wood burner, kitchen, utility room and the bathroom. Your four-legged friend can also join in with all your adventures as the cottage welcomes one dog. 

With the whole of the estate (over 13,000 acres) on your doorstep, take some time out to discover Wallington’s outdoor highlights, which include walking trails, the family friendly Dragon cycle trail (with seasonal bike hire available) and the West Wood play areas. Look out for wildlife too, from otters and native white-clawed crayfish in the river, to deer in the woodlands. Inside the Estate's house, don’t miss the dolls’ house room and quirky Cabinet of Curiosities.

You’ll find National Trust places Hadrian’s Wall, Lindisfarne Castle, Gibside and Cragside are all nearby, or walk the glorious Northumberland countryside and coast, like the stunning beach at Druridge Bay. When you’ve had your fill of countryside, head to the historic market town of Hexham, just over 16 miles away with its pretty shops and restaurants, or hop across to the bustling city of Newcastle to explore its attractions.
