About this property
A fabulous detached barn conversion situated in the pretty village of Horsley midway between Corbridge and Newcastle upon Tyne. Surrounded by Northumberland farmland and within easy reach of the Hadrian's Wall path, this single-storey cottage is located next door to the owners farmhouse and features beams and trusses, as well as being decorated and furnished in an eclectic style to create a charming, luxury retreat in a superb location for touring the Tyne Valley and Northumberland. The open plan living space has a warming woodburning stove for those chillier evenings, where you can curl up on the gorgeous, velvety pink sofa, pour a glass of something chilled from the pink Smeg fridge and spend evenings recounting the days activities. The bedrooms at The Cowshed have been carefully thought out, with the king-size double boasting a useful en-suite shower room and the lovely twin has a wonderful, handmade lampshade which creates shadows that dance over the walls, its sure to delight younger visitors. The village of Horsley has two good pubs and a popular café, whilst within reach is the historic town of Corbridge and only eleven miles away is Newcastle-upon-Tyne with its vibrant nightlife and fabulous shopping. This charming barn conversion is the perfect base for a couple or family at any time of the year.

Lovely welcome pack, thank you. Great location for exploring the area. Easy walk to pub and cafe in village. Close House golf 1mile but very busy and expensive .Lots of other courses available. Owner was very helpful and supportive, which made stay much easier. Will return to the Cowshed.

A happy and inviting place for our family to stay whilst we were having work done on our house. Really cosy and warm with underfloor heating, spotlessly clean, all the amenities you need have been thought about and provided. Very helpful hosts who are available whenever needed. The only bad thing about the cowshed is it doesnât belong to me!
