The property is on a working farm, therefore away from local amenities the nearest are Corbridge or Hexham. This wasn't a problem for us, as we brought groceries with us and topped up whilst out and about. The Hayloft is a peaceful and relaxing place with a reasonable size secure garden to sit and relax in, even with being on a working farm. The owner greeted us on our arrival and was available if needed. We found it a good base to stay in.

Loved the Hayloft. Had everything you could need and very clean & comfortable. Although a short drive to any amenities I didn't mind that as it was very quiet & peaceful. I would definitely book it again and recommend it to anyone who likes a peaceful surrounding.
