The details

Set beneath some of Europe’s darkest skies, North Star Apartment is a wonderfully peaceful retreat for two, where huge windows frame uninterrupted countryside views and evenings can be spent stargazing in the garden. Tucked away at the end of a private driveway in a tranquil corner of Northumberland, this stylish ground-floor apartment offers couples the chance to switch off, slow down and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

The apartment forms part of a property known as The Library, which was originally used to house the bookcases and collection of the lady who lived in the neighbouring house. Today, it makes a cosy and characterful base for romantic escapes, walking holidays and stargazing adventures. Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the spectacular scenery is always part of your stay, whether you're settling in with your morning coffee or relaxing after a day exploring the countryside.

When the temperature drops, get the log burner glowing and spend a cosy evening together indoors. The apartment sleeps two in one bedroom and has one bathroom, giving couples their own comfortable space in which to unwind. Step outside and you'll have access to a shared garden and patio, where you can sit back and soak up the peace. After sunset, wrap up warm, head into the garden and gaze upwards as the extraordinary Northumberland night sky comes to life above you.

The rural location also means adventure begins right from the doorstep. Set off on scenic walks through the surrounding countryside or bring your bikes and explore the area's road cycling and mountain biking routes. There's designated parking when you want to venture further afield and a village pub within walking distance, so you can enjoy a hearty meal or a pint without needing to drive.

North Star Apartment puts you in a superb position for discovering some of Northumberland's most spectacular landscapes and attractions. Northumberland National Park is on your doorstep, while Kielder Water & Forest Park and Kielder Observatory are within easy reach for days filled with walking, cycling, wildlife and astronomy. You can also visit historic Hadrian's Wall or take a trip to the attractive market towns of Hexham and Corbridge before returning to your peaceful hideaway beneath those incredible star-filled skies.
