The Loft Hideaway
Self-Catering Apartment in the College Valley
Tucked away in the heart of the College Valley within the Northumberland National Park, the Loft Hideaway is a peaceful, self-contained holiday apartment for two. Located within an Edwardian cottage and accessed via a charming external wooden staircase, this newly converted loft space offers a cosy, self-catering retreat — ideal for solo travellers or couples seeking nature, quiet, and rest.
Stylish and Comfortable - Accommodation for Two
The Loft Hideaway includes:
A spacious double bedroom with countryside views
A private bathroom with full facilities
A small, well-equipped kitchenette with a breakfast table
A private garden area with outdoor seating
On-site private parking
Guests can enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks in their own outdoor space, and you’ll find walking and cycling trails right from the doorstep — including St Cuthbert’s Way and scenic routes through the Cheviot Hills.
Dog-Friendly Holiday Apartment in Northumberland
One well-behaved dog is welcome at the Loft Hideaway (by request and for a small additional charge). With open countryside and peaceful walks just outside your door, this is an ideal base for a dog-friendly break in the Northumberland hills.
Please note: The Loft Hideaway is part of Hethpool Cottage, and there may be guests staying in the main part of the cottage during your visit. However, the Loft is completely self-contained with its own entrance, garden, and facilities, offering privacy and independence throughout your stay.
Breakfast and/or Dinner Available by Arrangement
Guests staying at the Loft Hideaway have the option to enjoy a cooked breakfast (available by prior arrangement) at Hethpool House B&B, just 100 yards away. You can also book a home-cooked three-course dinner, served in the main house - often in front of a log fire during the winter months.
Our meals are made using locally-sourced ingredients, including local game and produce from our own garden. We’re known for our delicious vegetarian options, and you’re welcome to bring your own wine to enjoy with your meal.
