You should know

  • The Granary may not be suitable for young children; it has a pond in the garden and central stairs without a safety gate. However The Hemmel is perfectly suitable for children.
  • The Granary is set next to the working sheep pens and the sounds of farming life can be heard at times.
  • The owner of The Hemmel lives in an adjoining property and shares the pretty courtyard with the cottage.

The details

Swap dazzling city lights for sparkling starry nights at these Old Town Farm Cottages in Northumberland’s beautiful National Park. Nestled one mile from Otterburn in the flourishing Rede Valley, the luxuriously converted barns offer you the perfect escape to the country. Unwind in the peaceful, private gardens and marvel at the uninterrupted views, breathing in the fresh, country air and admiring Mother Nature’s jewels. Head out on carefree childhood adventures or romantic woodland strolls, stopping off at the iconic Alnwick Castle or spectacular, sandy coast.

The two-bedroom cottages are set in the grounds of a working farm and have views across the grazing pastures with their cattle, sheep and lambs. Expertly converted to become chic country homes, they each blend original farmhouse features with a stylish modern twist. Relax in comfy living areas with their roaring log burners, looking up at characterful beamed ceilings whilst sinking into sumptuous sofas. Floor-to-ceiling windows let the natural light flood in, while contemporary country kitchens have everything you need to cook up some locally sourced delights.

The Granary is a gorgeous, two-storey house set at the end of a three-cottage row and is adjacent to some bustling sheep pens. Boasting quirky, upside-down living and a quaint cottage garden, it's ideal for families, friends and loved-up couples. There’s comfy living areas with exposed stone walls, along with a stargazing studio and a sweet Juliet balcony. Two plush double/twin bedrooms complete the accommodation and are joined by a sleek en-suite and a large family bathroom. The master king-size room even has massive patio doors which open into the blooming garden and the Great Outdoors. The Granary's garden is not enclosed, so there are no dogs allowed at this cottage.

The Hemmel is an equally impressive retreat offering one-storey living around a shared, open courtyard. Featuring a fresh, open-plan design with high vaulted ceilings, it is a light and airy cottage with views across the countryside. Cosy underfloor heating adds a touch of indulgence, while large patio doors open out into a private, country garden. Two charming bedrooms share a deluxe shower room and are fitted with star-filled skylights and sink-in king-size/twin mattresses. This cottage has a securely fenced garden and is dog friendly.

While away your days in the comfort of your cottage, soaking up the stunning vistas and tasting the delicious local produce. There are piles of books and games to keep you entertained, along with TVs and WIFI for those rainy days. Use the vintage binoculars to spy on the wildlife or plan out your walks on the handy, local maps. With serene lakes, enchanted forests and the famous Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland has an abundance of rich and interesting sights to explore.

What a wonderful place to stay! All the little details had been thought of, the bed was so comfy and warm, and plenty of space inside to relax. An enclosed garden for our dog at the Hemmel with brilliant views from the garden and living room over the fields and the new lambs. Kate was an excellent host and her recommendations on places to visit and eat were spot on. Really excellent stay, thanks so much!
