Scotchcoulthard Holiday Cottages is situated four miles north of Hadrian's Wall in The Northumberland National Park which has Dark Sky Status. It is necessary to cross the Hadrian's Wall to reach Scotchcoulthard and the sites of Housesteads, Vindolanda and The Roman Army Museum are only a short distance away. Although remote, Scotchcoulthard is not isolated. It is possible to be parked in The Metro Centre, Newcastle, Carlisle, The Lake District or Scotland within an hour. Set on a small farm within 178 acres it is surrounded by splendid scenery with magnificent views and not another inhabited dwelling in sight. Dogs are welcome with no restriction on number and no extra charge. For those without dogs ours are happy to step into the breach. The Games room has a table tennis table and 3/4 snooker table with books, toys, DVD's, jigsaws, games and a piano with a selection of music.
