They said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Milecastle, and it has afforded us a fantastic way of life for nearly two decades.
"The pub has only had three owners in the past 60 years, including ourselves.
"It’s a beautiful place to live – you’re in the countryside but within 45 minutes’ drive of Newcastle and can get to Carlisle in half an hour.

"We’re both of retirement age now and we’re looking to wind down.”
The cottages, located just behind the pub, features a loungeroom with kitchenette, double bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
With a well-presented three-bedroom owners flat also onsite, the Milecastle Inn presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator looking to make a lifestyle investment.

David Cash, associate director at Christie & Co, which is handling the sale, said: “We have seen an increased demand from buyers for this type of business, which benefits from the security of multiple income streams.
"The letting accommodation and being in a tourist setting is crucial to its success.
"Northumberland has caught the attention of lots of hospitality buyers in recent months, particularly those looking to draw upon the suspected influx of staycation visitors in 2021 and beyond and we have completed on a number of deals within the area as a result.”
