A magnificent repurposed stable block and coach house on the Nunnykirk Estate, close to the attractive towns of Rothbury and Morpeth.

Beeswing House, a grand former stable block named after an illustrious former resident - a racing wonder-filly bred by William Orde of Nunnykirk in 1833, winning a staggering 51 of her 64 races - has been painstakingly remodelled while preserving the architectural features, resulting in bags of space and wow-factor by the bucket.

Decorated with sumptuous furnishings and fabrics, cosy tweeds in calming colours and family antiques, Beeswing House has plenty of creature comforts, including underfloor heating and superfast Wi-Fi.

Flooded with light, courtesy of the arched windows and lofty ceilings, the cavernous open-plan living and dining area is complemented by a large kitchen with dining table and island unit, a snug with cosy electric stove, 40” TV, Freeview and DVDs, and two of the four double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs you’ll find two en suite bedrooms and a mezzanine study area halfway up the stairs, furnished with armchair and desk.

Outside there are two distinct spaces, a courtyard with the original well and a lawned garden with alfresco dining terrace. The adjacent games barn is set up for ping pong and badminton – or even indoor football, a very handy space for energetic youngsters should the weather be inclement.

Located along the drive to Nunnykirk Hall, Beeswing House enjoys a peaceful setting between the rural Northumberland villages of Wallington and Cragside, with nearby Rothbury home to an excellent delicatessen and butcher. There are fantastic walks in and around the area from leisurely riverside and forest ambles to more challenging walking routes exploring the raw natural beauty of the Northumberland National Park. The area is home to several foodie festivals and events, while Cragside, a nearby stately home with a busy events schedule has many family friendly activities to enjoy.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

Beeswing House can be let in conjunction with Grange House (sleeping 5) which sits directly to the side of the house, and may be suitable for larger parties who wish to holiday together.

Location

Located in the heart of Northumberland, Rothbury promises a relaxing escape spent surrounded by rolling hills and the meandering River Coquet. This traditional market town, built from mellow sandstone, is home to a vibrant high street with an array of independent shops, cosy tearooms, and welcoming pubs.

History enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them occupied in Rothbury. The town is near the famed National Trust property of Cragside House, the first home in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. This marvel of the Victorian Gothic Revival, surrounded by beautiful gardens and towering trees, showcases the innovative spirit of Lord Armstrong and is the perfect spot for a day trip.

The surrounding area is sure to delight nature lovers and explorers. The Simonside Hills, the Cheviot Hills, and the Northumberland National Park are all within easy reach, providing ample opportunities for hiking and cycling. If you'd like to experience some sea air, the historic fishing villages and wide sandy beaches of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, such as Alnmouth and Warkworth, are also just half an hour away.

The Little Things We Love

The floor-to-ceiling windows, once the original coach house arches, allow natural light to pour in to the huge open-plan living space.

Don't take our word for it...

The furnishings were of a very high standard, and there was plenty of room for a group of 8 plus dogs. The boot room was handy to clean the dogs with access to an enclosed garden. The kitchen was well equipped, even including an air fryer. The barn allowed interior basketball, football, badminton, darts and table tennis, great for a rainy day. Some nice walks from the front door. Access to the house was possible with a wheelchair, and the interior door widths allowed the use of the chair inside. The only issue for someone with restricted mobility was accessing the shower in the downstairs bathroom as the door opened into the room in a tight space. Sat Nav takes you to the side of the houses barn.

I just wanted to know let you know what a wonderful time we had at Beeswing House. It was beyond our expectations both in decor, facilities and location. For us it was a bitter sweet trip spending time with family to celebrate my late father’s life and our 30th wedding anniversary. I was so happy to have stumbled across your website and we will most definitely be availing of your service again. All your properties look outstanding in a part of the world that offers so many beautiful locations. Thank you so much for so many happy memories.

Don't take our word for it...

I can't thank you enough for such an amazing stay at your property, whilst the photographs looked great they really didn't do the scale of the property justice, it was twice the size we were expecting, the finish was exceptional and the views from the garden were great. We spent the majority of the time in the kitchen dining area which was well stocked. All of the beds were lovely and comfortable, helped by the excellent quality bedding. The welcome gift of local products was a really nice touch and went down very well. Overall an exceptional stay and wouldn't hesitate to return again.

We had a really lovely week at Beeswing House it's in a beautiful setting with lovely walks from the doorstep. It's an absolutely stunning home with everything we could have wished for the 'games barn' was an added bonus for the odd showery times. It was spotlessly clean. Thank you for letting us share your wonderful home we have already recommended it to friends. On our return home my grandchildren aged 7 and 10 asked my son if they could go back the next week, praise indeed.

Don't take our word for it...

Wow-what a fabulous house! We had a wonderful half-term week in this spacious, luxurious and stylish coach house and stable conversion. There was oodles of space for our family of five to rattle around in and we all totally 'chilled-out' and relaxed in the beautiful surroundings. The interiors are stunning and the beds are particularly comfy and luxurious! The games room was a huge hit with our children! ’Beeswing House’ is located in a peaceful spot on Nuunykirk Estate, so a great base from which to explore the local National Park and accessible for the coast, so we enjoyed lots of family walks and cycles (including cycling around Kielder Water/Forest). Thank you so much to the owner for all the delicious goodies waiting for us on our arrival-much appreciated! Would love to return again!

We absolutely loved our holiday in Beeswing House. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was furnished with style, was immaculate with all utensils and equipment one would need for cooking, comfort and play. The younger ones in our six loved the games in the barn. The cheeses, jams etc also a wonderful touch and all gratefully consumed. So thank you again and of course the owners for making our short stay so happy.

We loved the house and the space. Couldn’t fault the accommodation and loved living in luxury for our week away. The games barn was a real bonus and great fun for all the family. Our first visit to Northumberland. Such a stunning county and so nice to drive on quiet roads even in the middle of summer. We hope to be back!

I have been meaning to write all week since our return from Beeswing House to say what a wonderful weekend and celebration we had in a really special house. Beeswing has been beautifully renovated and was a very lovely place for the family. I just wanted to thank you and your team for being so helpful. There was wonderful space for the dogs who were all very happy (and well behaved I think!). It was really helpful being able to arrive slightly earlier and Danny Maguire was a big hit! He produced a fabulous dinner, was simply delightful and very relaxed (especially when small people did not want to go to sleep and kept visiting him!) and left the kitchen immaculate. What a star… to be highly recommended. Thank you for your assistance with that. All in all it was a huge success with thanks to you and the very accommodating owners.
