Glanton itself is a small village in the foothills of the Cheviots. Very much a farming community, it is not unusual to see sheep being driven past the front door of the cottage as they make their way from one grazing field to another.
There is a thriving pub the Queens Head, a part-time shop/newsagent and Sub Post Office, a village Hall, and a church (URC but with Church of England services too) with its own associated hall.
Thorne Cottage accommodates 4 people comfortably with two bedrooms. Dogs are considered part of the family and are very much welcome. We would love to know their names!
The living room boasts a log burning fire, some logs will be provided and you can purchase some more from the village shop or the nearby garage. The rear of the cottage looks out over a shared gravelled area. A bit of a sun trap, you'll find a small patio area where you can enjoy a cup of tea in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. This area is not enclosed so you will need to watch over your pet.
The dining area seats 4 comfortably and looks out over the front of the house.
There is a well equipped kitchen.
Upstairs is the master bedroom with a double bed and a smaller bedroom with twin beds. There is a family bathroom with a shower and bath.
