Set in its own area of the gardens of the Hall, the Barn is built from the local, golden Northumbrian stone and this pretty abode offers a light and airy living space.
Longhoughton is a pretty, little coastal village, just 4 miles east of the famous, historic market town of Alnwick, which offers a wide array of amenities including a cinema/playhouse, restaurants, independent shops, a variety of pubs and eateries. Home to the Duke of Northumberland and film location for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts, Alnwick Castle is a popular visitor attraction and only a gentle stroll from the town centre.
Don’t forget to visit the Alnwick Gardens; a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden, including a grand cascade waterfall and ’poison’ garden. A great day out for all the family and you can dine in the largest tree house restaurant in Europe. The Barn is perfectly located to explore Northumberland’s famous heritage coastline. Once you’re ready to begin your Northumbrian adventure, firstly head to the nearby hidden bay at Sugar Sands – an idyllic beach with views across to Dunstanburgh Castle, sited mid-way on the beautiful 20-mile stretch of Heritage coastline designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Readily accessible by public transport, this characterful barn is only 4 miles from Alnmouth and the ever-popular village of Warkworth with its dominant castle. Or head north and sample the world-famous kippers of Craster with the nearby walk to the iconic Dunstanburgh Castle, and beyond that, to the Farne Islands, Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island. For sports lovers there is loads to enjoy! With some of the best and oldest Link’s golf courses in the country nearby, golfers are spoilt for choice. Walkers can enjoy St Oswald’s Coastal path and the more demanding Cheviot Hills, enjoying views of iconic castles and beaches. There’s lots of choice for cyclists, runners and water sports enthusiasts. Northumberland boasts some of the most historically important sites in the country with plenty to explore.

A fabulous holiday cottage for a family! Amazingly clean and well equipped, in a perfect location to explore the beaches and castles of Northumberland. It is a simple 20 min walk or 5 min drive from the coastal path and Longhoughton Beach, but also 10 mins from the A1 so easy to get to Bamburgh and Alnwick. We spent an amazing 2 weeks at The Barn - visiting Beadnell, Seahouses, Bamburgh, surfing and coastering. There is so much to do around Northumberland it is tricky to fit it all in! We were a family of 4 and there was plenty of space for us, our bodyboards and wetsuits. Katie and Jim are lovely hosts and are on hand for any questions and recommendations. The Barn is set back from the road so it is really quiet and peaceful.

We loved our stay at the Barn! It was spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location was perfect for exploring the stunning Northumberland coastline. The host Katie was friendly and helpful and our children loved meeting the cats, Ossie and Bertie! Hopefully we’ll return soon. Would highly recommend.
