Sweet and characterful, rest will come easily here with plenty of fresh country air which will lift mind, body and spirit.
Sleeping two, inside you’ll find an open plan studio living space with a raised mezzanine floor and king size bed. With its double height aspect, the overall look has bags of character, with a fresh, bright scheme in duck egg blue with original beams and rustic touches.
A roaring wood burner will keep things wonderfully toasty when when the nights draw in, or throw open the door in summer and head to the barn downstairs where the owner is happy to share her art studio space and guests can explore their creative side.
Out and about, there's a large shared garden and the owners’ grow their own fruit and vegetables which guests are welcome to make use of when in season.
Add to the mix a small herd of Dexter rare-breed cows and some lively egg-laying hens and there’s always something to bring a welcome smile to your day.

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.
