Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Backworth

Accommodation details

Sleeping nine people across five bedrooms, and with a variety of sleeping arrangements to suit a multi-generational stay, family and friends of all ages can get away from the hustle and bustle and spend quality time together. The cottage has spacious living areas, and the benefit of two lounges giving your family the option to spread out as you wish.

You’ll also find extra storage in the handy utility, with plenty of cupboards and a long worktop, so you’ll never feel like you’re struggling for space. The local shop (0.5 miles) will keep you stocked with essentials like bread and milk, or book a table at the restaurant down the road (1 mile) for a sit-down meal to celebrate bringing everyone together. Throughout the living areas, the property has been decorated in a warm natural colour palette to reflect the countryside, and homely details and ornaments give the cottage a warm and welcoming feel.

Take charge in the cheerful kitchen/diner, cooking up a storm with a few helping hands, as the remainder of the group sits round the table, and you all pitch in to discuss the days ahead. When you’ve finished eating, have someone else load the dishwasher and move through to the lounge for a soft seat.

Two lounges offer the group wonderful flexibility in terms of the evening. People can read in peace while others watch TV, or for groups with children and teenagers, they’ll appreciate having their own space to relax in. The main lounge boasts an open fire inside a rustic stone fireplace, perfect for warming your feet in front of a film.

Meanwhile, light the wood burner in the cosy second lounge, and chat and share stories as the night draws in. When you’re ready, climb the stairs to bed. In the morning, carry your cup of tea outside to the enclosed garden, accessed via the kitchen/diner.
