Property code: OC-NB663

Looking out across a 1,800-acre sheep farm, this stylish rural retreat occupies an idyllic spot in a wonderfully secluded part of the magnificent Northumberland National Park. Providing tastefully furnished accommodation for up to six guests, the property is ideal for fell runners, mountain bikers and ramblers exploring the Northumberland countryside. Situated just outside the majestic Ingram Valley, this cheerful semi-detached stone barn has been imaginatively updated, while retaining original features including exposed stonework, stone tiling, timber beams and a wood burner, and offers ample space for three canine companions to join you on your travels.

Entering this tastefully designed property, you will find an airy lounge/diner with a cosy farmhouse feel, with plenty of seating, a sociable dining area, central columns and a warming wood burner, providing a relaxing space for everyone to get together after a great day out. A few steps lead down into a fully equipped galley-style kitchen. The ground floor also has two invigorating shower rooms. Upstairs, the first floor comprises the spacious sleeping quarters, with wooden beams and skylights in the high vaulted ceiling. This stylishly designed room is partitioned by a sliding barn door, creating a bit of privacy for the beds: a double, two singles, a sofa bed, and a bunk bed. Heading outside, the patio has garden furniture and makes a great spot for gazing into the Dark Skies with your four-legged friends by your side.

Exploring this breathtaking area with your canine companions, you might spot red squirrels, hear curlews or glimpse otters in the River Breamish. With your pets you can visit fantastic landmarks including Linhope Spout, Yeavering Bell Hill Fort and the historic village of Ingram, all within 15 miles. There’s a choice of dog-friendly pubs and cafes in the bustling market town of Wooler (9 miles) after spending an exhilarating day exploring the Cheviot Hills.

Beautiful secluded and peaceful spot. We loved watching the sheep and lambs in the fields surrounding the cottage. Enjoyed the cosy wood burner on the chilly days and evenings.

Amazing stay at The Dod yet again the biscuits were delicious. The walks around there are brilliant for our dog and she loved them. The view is wonderful, and there was lots of castles to visit e.g Warkworth, Bamburgh & Alnwick. And i loved feeding the horses!

Another fantastic stay at The Dod. The weather was kind to us and our dog loved the freedom on her walks. We loved the wood-burning stove in the evenings and plenty of wood. Thank you for the biscuits ect on arrival. We didn't want to leave!

A brilliant place for a gathering of friends & family. The barn was just spot on. Lovely chat with the owner and the neighbor next door & find we have all got connections through family & work at the national park!

What a fabulous holiday!! Beautiful sky on the first night with the fire pit lit. We've enjoyed bike rides, the beach and visited Ford and Elal. Cottage is beautiful- everything we need! Have been surrounded by mountains, wildlife and animals.

Beyond expectations, even little things thought out to make the stay home from home. The kids loved sharing one big room. The views! Even the dog was fully relaxed the whole week we will definitely be back.

Another lovely 10 days spent at the barn. A great welcome and beautifully tranquil surroundings. The girls loved seeing the ponies again and seeing the sheep shearing. We'll continue to recommend it to our friends and family. Hopefully, we'll be back very soon!
