The Stables Studio is a delightful place to stay. It is fully equipped with everything you might need, very cosy and in a beautiful location. The owners made us feel incredibly welcome and had lots of knowledge about the area. It is the perfect place to stay for exploring the many fabulous villages in the Northumberland countryside and to visit the many historic features including Hadrian’s Wall. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it.
