Northumberland

Northumberland is one of the UK's most atmospheric holiday-let regions — Bamburgh, Seahouses, Alnwick, Craster, the Cheviots, and the Dark Sky Park at Kielder. Short lets do well at both ends of the spectrum, from coastal cottages to rural retreats, with walking, birdwatching and heritage tourism running through the mix. Strong premiums during the summer holidays and half-term.
