Most guests found the property very clean and well-presented, though a small number reported issues such as pet hair, an unclean oven, and dead flies. These were exceptions rather than the norm, but they do affect the overall impression.

Keen walkers are sure to be impressed by St Cuthberts Way, a 100-kilometre long-distance trail between the Scottish Borders town of Melrose and Lindisfarne off the coast of Northumberland, named after a 7th-century saint. The nearby town of Wooler is set along the last leg of the journey, so you needn’t traverse the full length. Wooler itself is just under 4 miles away and features a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants, and facilities. If you fancy something exciting, why not visit Chillingham Castle, only a short drive away, and book onto one of their ghost tours! Why not try something a little different? Discover your inner country-self and try clay pigeon shooting at Fowberry Moor Farm in Wooler, where they also offer wine tasting!
A 20-minute drive brings you to the popular village of Bamburgh a stunningly attractive small village set on the northern stretch of the Northumberland Coast. It is without doubt dominated by its magnificently striking castle that can be seen for miles around. Why not hit the waves yourself with a trip to the Farne Islands? Take a boat trip from Seahouses and see the Medieval Pele Tower and Victorian Lighthouse, as well as the famous seabird colony. Depending on the time of year, you might catch a glimpse of the friendly seals and puffins that visit the islands’ shores. Golfers flock to Bamburgh, where the Bamburgh Castle Golf Club offers a particularly picturesque round. It’s short but tough and boasts some of the best views in the country! Haybale Barn is an ideal base for exploring the moors and coastline in this diverse friendly county where you will be sure of a really warm Northumbrian welcome. Beach 9¾ miles.

I would highly recommend, gorgeous inside and out, we loved our stay. It had a great kitchen with large table, perfect set up for our family gathering. Lovely outdoor space and great location to the sights of Northumberland. We already looking when to book it again.

Amazing accommodation with lots of space, great for our two teenage children and my elderly mother too with the downstairs on suite bedroom. Really clean, especially as pets allowed and really accommodating, even providing a goody box for the dogs.

Unfortunately had to contact the owners and Cottages.com due to very poor cleanliness. Booked a cot and high chair to be up, it wasn’t had to rummage around to find them. Dead flies kept dropping from the large spider web in the eaves in the living area. We have never had a problem before and can’t imagine it happening again in this property but I would not go back.
