    We had another fabulous holiday at Birkshaw Barn. The cottage is like a home from home. Very clean and with everything you could want for your stay. We stayed for 2 weeks and didn’t want to leave. The barn is well situated for Hadrian’s Wall, with the village of Bardon Mill being close, with a lovely pub, a tea room and a pottery! Lots to see and do in the area. We will definitely be returning.
