OUTSIDE

There is a gravelled courtyard to the front, facing South with far-reaching views across the North Pennines which is enclosed by a drystone wall and a set of gates. Patio area with outdoor lounge seating and coffee table, and two outside dining tables with bench seating (garden furniture is provided from April to October inclusive). There is a gas barbecue available from April to October for guest use (one gas canister provided). 

The Byre sits in a working farm; therefore, farm machinery may be in use around this area and to the barns to the rear of the property. There may also be some movement of sheep and cattle. It is absolutely essential that children are supervised by adults at all times. This also includes the immediate outdoor area around the hot tub.

Guests should be aware that the area around the property is farmland. Under no circumstances should guests walk through fields with cattle, or during lambing and calving season. Dogs must be supervised and kept on leads at all times.

Hot tub available (maximum six guests). Rules of use apply. It is important to note that the hot tub is drained, cleaned and refilled at the end of every stay; therefore, if guests have departed on the day of your arrival, the hot tub will take time to re-heat to the correct temperature and will not be available for use until the following day. Important – please note that the hot tub needs daily testing and will require attendance by a member of the property team to check the PH levels.  Privacy will be respected but this is essential for health & safety purposes. If guests are not agreeable to daily checks, then regrettably the hot tub will have to be removed from use for the duration of the stay. Please contact us if you have any concerns.

Walltown Farm Cottage:

Small private lawned area to the side of the property and patio with bistro set (Garden furniture is provided from April to October inclusive). Please note this is not enclosed.

The is also a small garden area to the front of the property which guests are welcome to use. Please note this is not enclosed either as there is no gate to the front and the left side of the front lawn is owned by the neighbouring property.

There is a warm external boiler room with coat hooks and shoe storage space.

Up the stone steps by the patio area, through the wooden gate there is a wild garden which guests are welcome to visit. However, it is not dog-proof or child-proof and this area houses a small chicken coup. Children and pets are to be supervised at all times.
