This superb getaway offers something for everyone, whether you love getting out and about in nature, playing sports or simply relaxing in the hot tub. A great choice for couples or small families, it’s located close to Bamburgh, in an ideal spot for exploring this glorious part of Northumbria.
A professional design means every detail of this converted stone outbuilding has been carefully thought through. The lounge/diner offers a wonderful place in which to unwind, either around the generous dining table or snuggled into the squashy sofas, by the wood burner and Smart TV. Four steps up and you’ll reach the kitchen, where the equipment includes a smoothie blender for anyone wanting a healthy start to their day. Another option for meals and relaxing is the huge conservatory/diner, with views of the garden. When you’re feeling tired, head up the stairs to find two bedrooms, a king-size (with an en-suite shower room) and a twin, plus a family bathroom. For al fresco dining you have a private patio with a BBQ, and there’s also a variety of shared facilities: a courtyard, a paddock perfect for games and exercising dogs, a tennis court and games room, and a fabulous hot tub.
Golfers will want to play a round at the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club, 2 miles, while a lovely day out would be to walk the coast path to the larger village of Seahouses, 4.5 miles, looking out for dolphins, seals and other wildlife as you go. Here you’ll find pubs, places to eat and a variety of independent shops, and you can book a boat trip to see the puffins on the Farne Islands. Tour the impressive Bamburgh Castle, or head to Alnwick, 16 miles, to see the castle that starred as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
