This elegant farmhouse benefits from a peaceful location, near many of Northumberland’s popular attractions. With four bedrooms, sleeping up to eight people, it’s perfect for larger families or groups of friends. Plus, thanks to a big garden and spacious communal areas, the farmhouse has everything guests should need on-site for a relaxing, sociable stay.

It’s home to an Aga in addition to exposed beams, creating plenty of ambience.

We had a lovely holiday at this large farmhouse and enjoyed exploring the local area. The owners left a great welcome pack. There is lots of Roman history on your doorstep including the Vindolanda, Hadrians Wall and Housesteads Fort. It is located just around the corner from the Vindalonda cafe with free entrance. We also enjoyed a very pleasant waRead morelk at the nearby Allen Banks & Staward Gorge. The Twice Brewed pub/ brewery was a walkable distance & we also ate at the Bowes Hotel. Hide

We loved staying here - a really lovely house in a fantastic location right next to Vindolanda and only a miles walk to Hadrians Wall, yet also very peaceful. Very comfortable all-round, including the beds. Very well equipped. Altogether, a great place for our summer holiday.

Codley Gare Farmhouse is in a tranquil setting, being quiet and isolated from traffic and other properties which is what we wanted. We were so lucky with the weather for the time of year so made the most of the garden. We saw deer, hares and heard a cuckoo. The museum and Roman ruins are a must visit as is the Sycamore Gap and The Sill. NorthumberlRead moreand is a stunning part of our country and would highly recommend a visit Hide

I don't want to tell anyone else about this amazing cottage incase it is never available again! An amazing, comfortable house in an outstandingly beautiful area. Lots of walks available from just outside the house. Almost total peace and quiet, despite being right next to Vindolanda Roman fort and museum. Free access to Vindolanda and the Roman ArmRead morey Museum is a big bonus, especially the cafes when far from towns. Very comfortable, spacious bedrooms, very well equipped kitchen, stunning gardens. Hide

Ideally located to explore both the countryside and the history with the added bonus of entry to Vindolanda and Roman Army Museum. Shopping close by as were places to eat although a car is needed. Quiet and tranquil location.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, and the gorgeous welcome pack! The house was comfortable, homely, and luxurious. The setting, right next to Vindolanda and a short walk to one of the most spectacular sections of Hadrian's wall, was so beautiful. Highly recommended.
