Laundry Cottage

Laundry Cottage is part of a row of cottages in the Courtyard of Wallington, overlooked by the main house.  Historically it was the laundry servicing the main house, and the flats above were staff housing.  Guests staying at Laundry Cottage will be able to find engravings from Mary Trevelyan with dates of when she refurbished the cottages to improve standards for staff, upon inheriting Wallington.  

Carrying on this fine tradition, we have recently refurbished the cottage to provide a comfortable stay at the heart of the property. With a garden at the front and back of the cottage that lead straight out on to the property it has never been easier to immerse yourself in all that Wallington has to offer.

Why not discover Wallington’s outdoor highlights which include walking trails, the family friendly Dragon cycle trail (with bike hire available), the walled garden and the West Wood play areas. Look out for wildlife too, from otters and native crayfish in the river to the red squirrels in the trees. Inside the Estate's house, don’t miss the dolls’ house room and quirky Cabinet of Curiosities.

You’ll find National Trust places Hadrian’s Wall, Lindisfarne Castle, Seaton Delaval Hall, Gibside and Cragside are all nearby.

One you have enjoyed Wallington to its fullest there are many other things for you to see and do. The beach at Seaton Sluice, close to National Trust Seaton Delaval Hall, is a haven for wildlife and a designated area of Special Nature Conservation. 

Closer to home are Rothbury Village, Ponteland and Morpeth which both have a choice of restaurants, cafes, independent shops and beautiful walks.

WIFI: We’re pleased to provide free WiFi access at this accommodation, which is supported by BT. Please note intermittent connection problems can sometimes occur and therefore should not be relied upon.

Heating: The house is heated with biomass heating. There is a wood burner in the sitting room which will be made up for your arrival. Guests will need to provide any further logs and kindling. Logs can be purchased in local stores or in Rothbury (approximately 8 miles away).

Parking: There are two parking spaces, located a few yards away from the cottage back door. The surface of the parking area and walkway is tarmac and has good lighting.

EV charging: EV charging points are available in the main visitor car park at Wallington. You will need to bring your own charging cables. The provider is RAW Charging. 

Garden: There is an enclosed garden to the rear of the cottage which overlooks the gardens of Wallington. Garden furniture is provided for al fresco dining. There is a locked shed which guests will have access to for storing bikes. There is also a well manicured front garden which guests can access through the front door. This garden is viewable from the main courtyard which visitors will see. Both gardens lead directly into the grounds of Wallington, offering out of hours access.

Offers: Guests will benefit from a late Sunday checkout of 4pm.
