Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Once a stable, this charming home is far removed from its days resting horses – the sleek interior and open-plan living space are a great juxtaposition to the home's exterior. Here, you can work up an appetite in the gym and pool at the boutique hotel next door before enjoying a meal at its restaurant. On colder nights, fire up the wood burner and get cosy after a walk around the estate. History buffs and hikers, rejoice – you're on the outskirts of Northumberland National Park and can find Hadrian's Wall nearby.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
