This was our fourth annual visit and weâll be back! Everything about this holiday home makes it a perfect place to relax and unwind with family and friends. The chickens and ducks wandering around the garden, the horses in the field next to the house and the peace and tranquillity really helps to recharge your batteries. The converted barn is equipped with everything you need and in an excellent location for beaches, towns and castles along the Northumberland coast. Excellent pub food locally too! We love it.
