Description

Situated in the middle of the small village of Glanton, the accommodation occupies the entire first floor of the village pub. Accessed by a private entrance at the rear, this stone-built property boasts comfortable and cosy accommodation throughout, offering five bedrooms - all with full en-suite facilities.

The surrounding area is overflowing with many footpaths and cycle routes just waiting to be explored, whilst Northumberland's magnificent National Park, rich in Iron Age archaeology, is just a five minute drive away giving you access to some of the best walking country in England.
