Property code: OC-GD1919

A charming stone barn conversion situated on a working farm 9 miles from the market town of Wooler. The barn is surrounded by dramatic tree-covered valleys and vast stretches of open moorland. It offers a single large bedroom, spacious lounge and two shower rooms, ideal for active couples eager to explore the Ingram Valley Northumberland National Park.

This rustic barn has lost none of its original charms, with exposed stone walls and wood beams on show throughout. The spacious lounge, complete with tiled floor and wood burner, is a comfortable refuge for guests made weary after a long day out, with a bright shaker-style kitchen opposite open for continuous refueling of plates and glasses. The barn’s lone yet highly versatile bedroom comprises a double bed, two single beds, and a bunk bed, ideal for groups with young children, but can be closed off via a sliding barn door to provide a cosier space for smaller groups. The bright shower room stands close by ready to refresh and invigorate tired limbs. The view of the countryside from the paved patio is best enjoyed with a fortifying drink and conversation full of ideas for the following day’s adventures.

The barn is surrounded by marked trails and paths that can take walkers in all directions across the Ingram Valley. Many of these enjoy far-reaching views of the Northumberland National Park and lead to historic sites including Threestoneburn Stone Circle (1 mile), which dates back to the Bronze Age. Market towns and villages such as Powburn (7 miles) and Wooler (9 miles) offer a dog-friendly welcome and further access to walking and cycling routes.

A really cosy and welcoming cottage, cleverly and sympathetically converted from the original barn, but still totally in harmony with it's fabulously remote location, The hosts were lovely and we really appreciated the trouble they took to makes us feel at home, to the extent of having lit the wood burning stove for our arrival. The cottage dcorRead more and furnishings were just right for the location and property style, but the view out the window was so stunning the rest paled into insignificance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was a wonderful relaxing base from which to explore Northumberland for the first time. Hopefully we'll get back again soon. Hide

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!

I used both the Cuckoo & Barn. On my own both were fabulous and very much recommended. The owners gave a great welcome and made all fun and easy. Being alone in a place like this is something else. It has walks, views, challenges, space, wildlife farm life and more!
