Sitting directly on the path of Hadrian’s Wall, The Gingan and The Granary have been sensitively restored to create two adjacent properties sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 bedrooms.

This is an area steeped in history with vast open spaces and soaring skies, matched with a dizzying array of walking and biking trails where you can start your journey of cultural discovery right on the path of Hadrian’s Wall.

The Gingan really does deliver on all levels with plenty of entertaining space and four bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en suite) which will suit both groups and families alike.

The property has spacious accommodation across two floors with a versatile living area, a ground floor bedroom and bathroom, and a fabulous open aspect across the surrounding countryside. The property benefits from an eco-friendly heating system supplied by an efficient ground source heat pump with underfloor heating through the ground floor along with a wood burning stove, meaning this property is always wonderfully toasty whatever the weather.

The main access leads into an impressive hallway leading into an elegant dining area with a large refectory table which seats ten guests comfortably but which can also seat up to twelve for more informal entertaining or candlelit suppers. This extends into a sunlit open plan kitchen with integrated appliances, high-quality granite work surfaces and a separate dining area for relaxed breakfasts or lunches. Double doors lead out onto a patio area with garden furniture and a spacious enclosed lawned garden.

The original ‘gin gan’ is a spectacular feature of this property, with its traditional wheelhouse or roundhouse offering a respectful nod to its past life when donkeys or horses were the gin (engine) to the threshing barn. With its slate roof, stone walls and traditional spoked beams, it is beautifully complementary to the light-filled, contemporary interior overlooking the garden. Add a wood burner, generous seating and rich kilim rugs to the mix and you have a perfect space for hunkering down after a day of exploring.

A ground floor bedroom adds some extra flexibility with en suite bathroom and dressing room, while upstairs, three beautifully appointed bedrooms and two further bathrooms (one en suite) add the final luxurious flourish.

The Granary sits next door with an open plan living space that feels immediately toasty, benefitting from underfloor heating supplied by an efficient ground source heat pump and a wood burning stove. The interior is decorated in soft hues and warming tweeds for a contemporary country twist and the well-equipped kitchen has that all-important wine cooler and relaxed informal dining space. When the temperature starts to rise, a door leads into the large enclosed lawned garden with plenty of space for children or dogs.

Upstairs, the two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are impeccable and comfortable with high beamed ceilings which add an open, lofty feel.

There is a games room with ping pong table and storage for bikes and outdoor gear adding a versatile space for wet-weather days, teenagers, or evening entertainment for all.

For guests looking for a property with a similar style, Aydon Castle Cottage shares the same owner. If you are looking for a smaller property, The Gingan and The Granary can be booked separately. The Gingan sleeps 8 guests and The Granary sleeps 4 guests.

The Little Things We Love

The charming sitting room is a convivial space for families and groups to sit and relax together or play board games in front of the cosy wood burning stove.

Don't take our word for it...

A beautiful spacious and perfectly renovated space. We had a lovely stay here and the staff were super helpful when we needed a room reconfiguring at the last minute. Thanks for a great stay

Don't take our word for it...

We had a brilliant week. The property is clean, spacious and well-equipped with a great big garden and fabulous countryside all around. The large drive area is safe and great for small children to use their bikes and scooters. The local honey and biscuits were a lovely touch.

Don't take our word for it...

Excellent venue for a fantastic family holiday spanning three generations; both properties very welcoming and well equipped. Fantastic walking trails from the front door and easy access to Hadrian’s Wall. Everything we had hoped for.

Don't take our word for it...

Please pass our thanks to the Matfen Estate and take some for yourselves. Everyone who stayed had a wonderful time. The accommodation was spotless, beautifully furnished and equipped and of course the weather was perfect! We are already looking forward to coming up again.

Don't take our word for it...

We had a really lovely time and the houses were perfect for us. I loved that the larger house had enough seating in the living room, kitchen and diner for everyone including those in the smaller house. Very rare and perfect for this sort of set up!
