East Cottage
Here you can relax on squishy sofas, toast marshmallows over the open fire, or pop your wellies on and head outdoors to pick fresh herbs and veg from the garden for supper, or perhaps say hello to farm animals Tulip, Betsy or Barty.
The interior is eclectic and charming, soothed by antique furniture and characterful features such as the bespoke iron spiral staircase, the mezzanine bedroom, the original dovecot in the bathroom and arrow-slit windows in the kitchen. The front door opens into a light open plan living area with a large south-facing window with a double aspect ceiling exposing the original roof beams. It also benefits from underfloor heating and an open fire to keep things cosy on cooler days.
The hand-crafted shaker style kitchen with granite worktops comes well equipped with all the essentials required of holiday living, including a traditional dresser with a wonderful collection of china and pottery. An aged pine dining table has seating for 6. A bespoke spiral staircase leads to an extremely pretty mezzanine double bedroom with Velux window for a spot of star gazing, as well as an additional twin bedroom and large shower room.
There is an honesty freezer for use by guests containing locally produced meats from the farm.

Here guests can help themselves to fruit and veg from the garden when in season, or purchase homemade jams, chutneys and rare breed Dexter beef from the farm.
The farm also has strong links with local suppliers such as the Pie Mill or Ridley’s Fish & Game where an order of delicious locally produced food can be delivered straight to your holiday home for arrival, or during your stay.
Just up the road is a village shop and country pub in Barrasford, or a short drive will take you to The Feathers, a fantastic artisan restaurant passionate about food provenance and renowned for its excellent regional food and relaxed friendly environment. Here you can sample the delights of Dexter beef supplied straight from the owners' farm along with a fine real ale.
A little further afield sits the pretty market town of Hexham (10 miles) characterised by its cobbled streets and historic architecture which offers quirky coffee shops, award winning restaurants and excellent local shopping. It also boasts its own racecourse, theatre, cinema, golf course and leisure centre, including a pool, running track and tenpin bowling alley.

Important Information
East Cottage directly adjoins two other cottages in one long traditional Northumbrian sandstone building. Each cottage has its own front door and there is a shared courtyard to the front of the property. Each cottage works well individually but can be taken together to accommodate larger groups.
The owners live in a farmhouse to the side of the cottages and while they are on hand to help with any questions, they are equally respectful of guests privacy.
For safety reasons, we do not permit electric vehicle or hybrid car charging at this property. If you’re travelling by EV, discover your nearest electric vehicle charging point here.
The farm has a Gold Award for Green Tourism and uses eco-friendly technology with its own wind turbine and solar panels which supply the electricity to the farmhouse and cottages.
