Bonny Barn is in a beautiful location. It is ideal for a week away for two. Perfect for both coast and inner Northumberland. You will need to drive everywhere but roads pretty good. Lovely local pub too. We had a lovely time in this and would happily go back.

Bonny Barn is set in a beautiful location in the Northumberland National Park. The property is well maintained, clean and has all the required comforts and amenities. Ann is very welcoming and does a great job of looking after the guests, the dwelling and the gardens. The sun room is just the icing on the cake.

Ideally situated in a lovely village with access to many idyllic locations. Even had access to electric car charger nearby. Anne was a great host.

A lovely stay and an unusual, though pleasant welcome from the owner with tea & biscuits. The Cottage is well thought out for such a small space and pleasantly warm. The gardens are beautiful but there is no private area for the cottage and no gate at the end of the drive to the road.
