For a memorable Northumberland escape, stay at this elegant stone farmhouse filled with character features. It’s located on a working farm in Earsdon, a peaceful hamlet, and surrounded by rolling countryside and quiet country lanes. With space for ten guests over five bedrooms, it has plenty of space for larger groups of friends or family to unwind. The nearby villages of Longhorsley (5 miles) and Widdrington Station (4.5 miles) are both within easy reach, while the scenic coast is just beyond (6.5 miles).
The accommodation is arranged over two spacious floors. Downstairs, a tiled hallway leads to a utility room with laundry facilities and space for your muddy walking gear, plus a handy downstairs WC. The heart of the home is the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, which has a range cooker and central dining table for sharing meals. After dinner, choose between the inviting lounge – with comfy seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner – and the separate games room, where you can challenge friends and family to a game of pool. The bright sunroom provides another peaceful spot to relax. Upstairs are five bedrooms: a super-king-size, two king-size and two doubles. The spacious king-size bedroom has a desk area along with an en-suite with a roll-top bath and separate shower, and there’s a family bathroom containing a roll-top bath where you can have a holiday soak, plus a walk-in shower. Outside, make the most of sunny weather in the enclosed south-facing garden, with its large lawn, a furnished patio, charcoal BBQ and a private hot tub. You’ll have private parking for five cars.
When it’s time to explore, head to Cresswell (8.5 miles) to stroll along its beautiful sandy beach, or Druridge Bay and Druridge Bay Country Park (both 6.5 miles) to admire more spectacular coastal scenery, with miles of walking and cycling routes through unspoilt landscapes. The picturesque market town of Morpeth (6.5 miles) is a must-see, with cobbled streets, impressive architecture, independent shops, welcoming eateries and lively bars.
