Middle Cottage
Sitting against a tranquil backdrop, the cottage is a wonderful retreat where fresh country air and cosy pub lunches are the perfect antidote to busy lives and hectic schedules.
Step inside, and the cottage is snug and characterful with a quaint open plan living area centred around a middle staircase. A wood burning stove keeps things toasty on cooler days, while the compact but well equipped galley kitchen is ideal for whipping up a few holiday treats or a romantic supper for two. The handmade staircase leads to a very sweet galleried bedroom with exposed beams, antique furnishings and en-suite bathroom.

For guests looking to holiday together this cottage can be booked alongside East Cottage sleeping 4, West Cottage sleeping 4, The Hay Loft sleeping 2 and The Showman's Wagon sleeping 2+2. The properties are located next to each other. Middle Cottage and East Cottage have a connecting door.

Here you can sample the delights of Dexter beef supplied straight from the owners' farm along with a fine real ale.

Important Information
Middle 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.
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.
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.
