Win a luxury 2-night midweek stay at Northern Rural Retreats. We’re giving High Life North readers the chance to win a dreamy two-night midweek escape at Grooms Bothy, a beautifully restored 200-year-old cottage from Northern Rural Retreats. Tucked away in the heart of Bellingham, Northumberland, Grooms Bothy is a brand-new, characterful hideaway designed for rest, relaxation and reconnecting with nature. This intimate retreat blends traditional cottage charm with subtle modern luxury, creating a warm and timeless space that feels like a true home-from-home.

Perfect for two guests, the prize includes a two-night midweek stay (Monday to Thursday) inside their newly refurbished cottage. The cottage is dog-friendly, meaning your four-legged companion can join you on countryside walks and cosy nights by the fire. Inside, enjoy a welcoming lounge with exposed wooden beams, a log burner and a Smart TV with Netflix included. A short set of stairs leads to a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, stocked with everyday essentials. Upstairs, the luxurious king-size bedroom features an indulgent in-room soaking bath, alongside a separate bathroom with a walk-in shower — ideal for unwinding after a day exploring Northumberland.

Just outside the door, you’ll find cosy pubs, independent coffee shops, scenic waterfalls and some of the region’s most beautiful countryside, making this the perfect base for a peaceful midweek escape.
