Westfield Cottage is part of Chesterhill Old Farm, which was built in the early 1800s and was used as a working farm. Brought into the 21st Century, Chesterhill Old Farm Holiday Cottages have been lovingly restored. Conveniently located in rural Northumberland, just a mile from the A1 in between the Market Towns of Alnwick and Morpeth, these recently restored barns can sleep up to 4 guests on a weekly basis.
The entrance to the Cottage is through a large arched window/door at to the front of the property showing the magnificent views of the countryside and beyond to the coast. The whole open-plan living area has a beautiful solid wood floor, high ceilings with exposed beams and a state of the art wood burner to provide a cosy feeling on those cold winter days. There is a wonderful feeling of airiness and space with seating for 4 guests on comfortable sofas, ideal to sit back and relax in front of the TV whilst watching a DVD or listening to music on the CD player or iPod dock provided.
Why we love Westfield Cottage

About the Location
Why we love the Swarland area
I grew up in Swarland so I know just how convenient the location is as a base to discover Northumberland! You're just a short distance from the A1 in the centre of the County so you can access all the main attractions really easily. Nearby Felton has two great places to eat and the Heritage Coastline is just a short drive away, perfect!
Chesterhill Old farm is located on the outskirts of the Village of Swarland, just a mile from the A1 between the Market Towns of Alnwick and Morpeth. This central location makes Westfield Cottage the perfect base to discover Northumberland. It's just a short drive to Alnwick or Morpeth, with famous attractions like Alnwick Castle (the home of Harry Hotspur and more recently Harry Potter - used as a set for Hogwarts in the films) and the stunning Alnwick Garden.
A short drive inland and you're in the heart of Northumberland and the beautiful Northumberland National Park with the rolling Cheviot Hills, Cragside House and Gardens, Wallington Hall and Chillingham Castle. The same distance in the opposite direction and you're enjoying the beautiful golden sandy beaches of Northumberland's Heritage Coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Mile after mile of stunning beach, rocky coves and more dramatic Castles than you can shake a stick at! From Warkworth and Bamburgh Castle to the majestic ruins of Dunstanburgh, there are so many days out that one visit simply won't be enough!
Wildlife lovers are spoiled - not just with the varied animal life on your doorstep - but in the srrounding regions with the Farne Islands (puffins and seal sanctuary) making a wonderful family day out.
