About this property
Set by the rushing waters of the magnificent River North Tyne in the village of Wark, Northumberland, rests the charming, two-bedroom holiday home of 4 Tyne View. With off-road parking, interiors completed to a high standard, and superb positioning close to nearby shops and pubs, this delightful property welcomes a family of four and their small, well-behaved canine companion for a relaxing, self-catered escape just south of the Northumberland National Park. After parking up behind the house, step in and make yourself at home in your lovely new lodgings. Get acquainted with all the appliances featured in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, where you and your loved ones can prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals to be savoured around the dining table. When it's time to unwind, kick back in the sitting by the warmth of a woodburning stove as you watch a film or two on the sleek, Smart TV. As day rolls into night, head upstairs to refresh with a shower on your way to settling down for a well-earned rest in either a plush double or twin bedroom. When you're ready the next day, lace up your shoes and head out to explore your surroundings. A walk into the heart of Wark will bring you to the Premier Convenience or Wark Post Office, where you can stock up on homely essentials, as well as the Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant and The Grey Bull Inn, which both serve up hearty pub grub for when you fancy taking a break from cooking. A brief car journey south of your lodgings will bring you to Hexham, where you can find the lush greens of Hexham Park, the Hexham Old Gaol museum, as well as the Corbridge Roman Town - Hadrian's Wall site just outside of the settlement. Alternatively, a car trip north will take you into the wonderful Kielder Forest Park, where you can embark on a hike through Hareshaw Linn Waterfall, roam the grounds of the Vindolanda, and even get up close and personal with birds of prey at the Falconry Days safari park. Enjoy all of this and more when you book a stay at 4 Tyne View.
Wark is a delightful village surrounded by beautiful unspoilt Northumbrian countryside, on the edge of the National Park. Wark offers much of interest, including shops, a gothic style church and good quality restaurants. Hadrian’s Wall and Housesteads Fort are nearby, whilst the market town of Hexham is a ten mile drive and is well worth a visit, with its narrow bustling streets, good selection of shops and a fascinating abbey boasting 15th century paintings and a fine Saxon crypt. The Border Country, Northumbrian coast, Kielder Forest with cycling and watersports, Beamish Open Air Museum and Durham Cathedral are all within easy motoring distance, while the Gateshead Metro Centre (one of the largest shopping centres in Europe) can be reached within an hour. Suitable for year-round holidays, this unspoilt area with its fishing, horse riding, abundant wildlife and superb walking country is a nature lover’s dream. Superb golf courses are close by and the area has abundant historical sites, stately homes and famous gardens.

Good views and with local shop and pubs. Lots to do in the area. There could have been a little more information about the TV and recycling and a bit deceiving about the gravelled area and not as clean as would expect but on the whole very comfortable and we had a lovely week. Thank you.
