Celebrate special occasions with a holiday in this incredible barn conversion. There’s room for a large mixed group and their dogs to relax and enjoy the beautiful Northumberland countryside and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll be living in five-star luxury with a hot tub and private sauna, plus plenty of other lovely features.

Most of the rooms in this property are on the ground floor. There’s the airy kitchen/lounge, which has a small dining table, island unit, speaker system and underfloor heating. The room has exposed beams and a stone wall, stone arched windows, and French doors to the garden. For formal meals, try the grand dining room with more wooden touches. The ground floor is completed by a utility room, WC, shower room, and two bedrooms: a twin room and a double. The first-floor bedrooms are accessed separately via two different sets of stairs, one of which is spiral. You’ll have two king-size bedrooms, both with en-suites. Everything has been decorated with care and designed to be comfortable and decadent. Step out of the property to see the 1.5-acre garden, with lawns, wildflower meadows, seating areas, stone features and a gravelled area. It’s a wonderful place to spend an evening, cooking up feasts on the BBQ, eating alfresco, and then hopping in the hot tub or steaming in the sauna while your dogs sniff the flowers.

You’ll be in a rural location with plenty of beautiful spots nearby. Take a walk around the ruined Temple of Mithras (11.5 miles) or the Roman Housesteads Fort (16 miles), both of which allow dogs, or visit Bellingham (7 miles) for dog-friendly pubs and a golf course. Complete your trip with a day out in Newcastle, 26 miles from the property.
