Bursting with character, this farmhouse cottage makes for a wonderful place to stay to explore the walking paths and picture-perfect viewpoints of Northumberland National Park. Exposed beams, a wood burner and sweeping views are just a handful of the features that give this family-friendly property its charm, inviting guests to kick back and relax with their loved ones.

At the heart of this holiday home is the living room where beautiful, cushy sofas offer a place to take the weight off your feet beside the warmth of the wood burner and a dining table can be found in one corner for family mealtimes. Next door, the galley-style kitchen has a rustic feel, including everything you’ll need to get cooking come morning, noon or night to fuel you on your adventures. Two shower rooms complete the ground floor with calming colourways to help you to truly relax during your stay. Upstairs are the three bedrooms, the first of the rooms has a delightful double bed and plenty of space to store away your belongings beneath the vaulted ceiling. From this main room, a twin bedroom and bunk room with an extra single bed can be accessed via a bespoke sliding door, a quirky feature that makes this place a memorable one. Outside, the patio area offers an opportunity to gaze out over the countryside views, or even stare up at the Dark Sky Reserve after nightfall to spot the glistening stars in the distance.

Those seeking adventure can make for the Pennine Way (2 miles) to walk a stretch of the long-distance footpath, the oldest of England’s National Trails with plenty to see along the way. For a change of scenery, head to the Northumberland Coast to Seahouses (22 miles) and you’ll be able to hop aboard a wildlife-watching boat trip, walk a stretch of the coastal path or simply sit back and soak up the tranquillity of the water on one of the golden sandy beaches.

Amazing stay at The Dod yet again the biscuits were delicious. The walks around there are brilliant for our dog and she loved them. The view is wonderful, and there was lots of castles to visit e.g Warkworth, Bamburgh & Alnwick. And i loved feeding the horses!

Another fantastic stay at The Dod. The weather was kind to us and our dog loved the freedom on her walks. We loved the wood-burning stove in the evenings and plenty of wood. Thank you for the biscuits ect on arrival. We didn't want to leave!

A brilliant place for a gathering of friends & family. The barn was just spot on. Lovely chat with the owner and the neighbor next door & find we have all got connections through family & work at the national park!

What a fabulous holiday!! Beautiful sky on the first night with the fire pit lit. We've enjoyed bike rides, the beach and visited Ford and Elal. Cottage is beautiful- everything we need! Have been surrounded by mountains, wildlife and animals.

Beyond expectations, even little things thought out to make the stay home from home. The kids loved sharing one big room. The views! Even the dog was fully relaxed the whole week we will definitely be back.

Another lovely 10 days spent at the barn. A great welcome and beautifully tranquil surroundings. The girls loved seeing the ponies again and seeing the sheep shearing. We'll continue to recommend it to our friends and family. Hopefully, we'll be back very soon!
