Longhoughton is a pretty, little coastal village, just 4 miles east of the famous, historic market town of Alnwick, which offers a wide array of amenities including a cinema/playhouse, restaurants, independent shops, a variety of pubs and eateries. Home to the Duke of Northumberland and film location for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts, Alnwick Castle is a popular visitor attraction and only a gentle stroll from the town centre.
Don’t forget to visit the Alnwick Gardens; a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden, including a grand cascade waterfall and ’poison’ garden. A great day out for all the family and you can dine in the largest tree house restaurant in Europe. The Barn is perfectly located to explore Northumberland’s famous heritage coastline. Once you’re ready to begin your Northumbrian adventure, firstly head to the nearby hidden bay at Sugar Sands – an idyllic beach with views across to Dunstanburgh Castle, sited mid-way on the beautiful 20-mile stretch of Heritage coastline designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Readily accessible by public transport, this characterful barn is only 4 miles from Alnmouth and the ever-popular village of Warkworth with its dominant castle. Or head north and sample the world-famous kippers of Craster with the nearby walk to the iconic Dunstanburgh Castle, and beyond that, to the Farne Islands, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. For sports lovers there is loads to enjoy! With some of the best and oldest Link’s golf courses in the country nearby, golfers are spoilt for choice. Walkers can enjoy St Oswald’s Coastal path and the more demanding Cheviot Hills, enjoying views of iconic castles and beaches. There’s lots of choice for cyclists, runners and water sports enthusiasts. Northumberland boasts some of the most historically important sites in the country with plenty to explore.

We have spent a very comfortable and relaxing few days at The Barn. A definite home from home with extras. We received a very warm welcome from Katie when we arrived. The Barn was immaculate including cleanliness, decor and furnishings. Underfloor heating is an added luxury, to step onto a warm floor in the bathroom was bliss. The kitchen area is compact with everything you should need and a token welcome pack provided. Everything on a level is so convenient when you have mobility issues, so another plus for this amazing accommodation. Didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended and will stay again when next in the area.
