Gorgeous Stone Cottage with tasteful interior
Dene Cottage is a 3 bedroom traditional Northumbrian stone cottage, accommodating 6 guests. The cottage is hidden away near the tranquil Northumbrian village of Ellingham, yet just 2 minutes from the A1.
Located a short drive from the famous Bamburgh, Alnwick and Lindisfarne castles and Scottish Borders, Dene Cottage makes for an excellent position to explore Northumberland.
Refurbished in 2021, the cottage offers luxurious furnishings and is equipped to a very high standard.
The cottage is very private with an enclosed graveled area with seating and views towards the sea and rolling green hills. There is a small front garden which captures the evening sun and a large grassed area which overlooks the tiered graveled garden which slopes towards the dene.
There are two generously spaced double bedrooms and one bunk room suitable for children. One of the double rooms has a zip and link super king bed offering flexible sleeping configurations suitable for children or couples. The cottage has one large bathroom with a separate bath and shower.
The open sitting/dining room is a great social space and furnished with a generously spaced table for 6. The kitchen also provides seating for 2 at the breakfast bar for more casual dining.
The living room is equipped with a Smart TV and Sonos speaker for fantastic acoustics when playing music. The multi-fuel stove is free to use with a complimentary logs under the TV.
Parking for 2 cars is available on the spacious private drive. Plentiful outdoor lighting provides a welcoming and easy entrance into the property at night.
All modern home comforts are provided for including WiFi at 100Mbps, Egyptian cotton towels, washer/dryer, fully equipped kitchen, smart TV and a SONOS speaker.
Sitting on the edge of Ellingham Estate (Ell-ing-jum), wildlife including deer, owls, hares and pheasants are seen regularly.
A generously sized enclosed graveled area immediately outside the cottage creates a great space for dogs to explore and relax among the outdoors unattended. Beyond a weathered wooden gate lies the tiered garden immersed in tranquil surroundings with singing birds and at the bottom, a gentle trickling dene.

Fabulous property, stunning tiered garden, cosy well designed interior, ideally situated for exploring the Northumberland coast.
Cottage met all our expectations and we will definitely be returning.
Check in was really quick & simple. Completely milk & biscuits were provided. There was everything we needed for a self catering stay. Kitchen well equipped and cleaning supplies were also provided. Nice for a family getaway.
We loved our stay at Dene cottage .Its a beautiful cosy ,dog friendly , thoughtful furnished cottage in lovely unspoilt countryside, only 15 mins away from nearest beaches .
The lack of a village shop was manageable with preparation of grocery shopping .
With a few internal steps , not suitable for those of limited mobility .
The photos really don't do it justice .
We would highly recommend and thank the owner for quick responses and attentiveness.
Property was lovely, very comfortable, we had a great time. Proeprty has everything your need.
Great property, for a very enjoyable stay. Clean, tidy comfortable, lovely garden, parking for two cars, nice kitchen with everything you need. Just one note if you have reduced mobility the kitchen and also the bathroom are down two steps., nothing major.
Great accomodation with 2 kids 11 & 14 could have done with 1 more TV in a bedroom. Left mattrass in room without wardrobe could do with replacing, I slept OK on it but Shelley wouldn't have. Fire amazing, could do with a small piece of fencing to side of garage to enclose garden more. Hamper on arrival was really kind and Jack Charlton tea was superb. Would return but these tweaks would make it 5 out of 5.
The cottage was well appointed and equipped, but we found there was a lack of attention to detail in that we were left no dishwashing cloths or sponges and had to fix the seal on the dishwasher in order to use it. The gate post blew off in the wind and the garden down to the stream was overgrown so this was hard to access.
We also found that the cottage felt damp throughout our stay and smelt of wood smoke, despite trying to air it thoroughly, and never using the wood burner.
The cottage was in a good location for exploring the surrounding area, which is beautiful, and there is lots to do within a 20 minute drive. It was also quiet and peaceful.
Spacious, comfortable and well equipped cottage from which to explore this area of Northumberland. Don’t forget to sit out in the garden and find the small blue birds (yes I know what they are but I’m not allowed to say their name!) nesting in the stone wall. Book dinner at The Pack Horse Inn. We’d highly recommend this place to stay!
It is difficult to summarise an experience that is perfect! We have been staying in cottages for many years and have experienced the good and well......... But this cottage surpasses them all. It is beautifully appointed, warm and cozy with the log burner lit, and doesn't lack anything. It is dog friendly and has a lovely garden leading down to a stream. The location is also perfect for exploring this gorgeous part of the UK. It even has a great village pub just 5 minutes away by car, 15 minutes if you are keen and decide the walk. This was a lovely place to spend a week.
Lovely well presented property in pleasant surroundings and location. The garden and stream were very special.
Good communication with property owner James both before and during our stay. Well equipped cottage. A few minor problems such as lighting in main living room was very dark on an evening, we were there for work and needed to have meetings. But overall our experience was extremely positive and we were able to relax and enjoy the cottage when we had time.
As a holiday cottage for a family I imagine it would be perfect. There is plenty of space and a lovely atmosphere. I would certainly stay again and recommend to others.
Really well appointed cottage in a great location to explore the beautiful county of Northumberland and beyond. Great facilities, clean , with lovely garden and off road parking. I would highly recommend this property.
A well equipped and located cottage in a great location. We really enjoyed our time at Dene Cottage. Everything we needed for a great break was provided. The accomodation is clean and tastefully decorated, with a nice touch to be left milk and cake on arrival. James was communicative but unobtrusive. The cottage is in easy reach of the coast and many of the best Northumberland has to offer whilst being minutes from the A1. Would have highly recommend. Thanks James.

Had a wonderful weeks stay. 2 adults 3 kids and our dog. Was a great base to explore the beautiful surrounding areas. All communication was great no problems at all.
Lovely cottage very well equipped and in a great location. Handy for many sights and attractions.
Host very friendly and welcoming. Good communication through out booking process and during stay. The milk and cake in the fridge a welcome treat after a 5 hour drive.
Great cottage in a fab location. Not too far to beaches and small towns all accessible - had a nice dinner in the local pub and found plenty of walks locally
