Prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen area with an electric oven and hob, fridge, and microwave, and sit down to enjoy a glass or two at the dining table while making plans for the holiday. At the end of the day retire to one of the two bedrooms one with a double bed and one king-size bed with a TV, with a shared shower room. Relax and enjoy morning coffee or an afternoon drink on your own private covered patio area. You also can enjoy the communal south-facing garden space with outdoor furniture and a firepit where you can enjoy a drink at the end of the day. A walk into the heart of Wark will bring you to the Premier Convenience or Wark Post Office, where you can stock up on homely essentials, as well as the Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant, which serves up hearty pub grub for when you fancy taking a break from cooking, a short distance away you can discover what the night skies have to offer at the Battlesteads dark sky observatory. A brief car journey south of your lodgings will bring you to Hexham, where you can find the lush greens of Hexham Park, the Hexham Old Gaol Museum, as well as the Corbridge Roman Town. Alternatively, a car trip north will take you into the wonderful Kielder Forest Park, where you can embark on a hike through Hareshaw Linn Waterfall, roam the grounds of the Vindolanda, and even get up close and personal with birds of prey at the Falconry Days safari park. Whatever your age or ability you will never be short of things to do and see when you take your well-earned break at Carrawburgh Suite.
Wark is a delightful village surrounded by beautiful unspoilt Northumbrian countryside, on the edge of the National Park. Wark offers much of interest, including shops, a gothic style church and good quality restaurants. Hadrian’s Wall and Housesteads Fort are nearby, whilst the market town of Hexham is a ten mile drive and is well worth a visit, with its narrow bustling streets, good selection of shops and a fascinating abbey boasting 15th century paintings and a fine Saxon crypt. The Border Country, Northumbrian coast, Kielder Forest with cycling and watersports, Beamish Open Air Museum and Durham Cathedral are all within easy motoring distance, while the Gateshead Metro Centre (one of the largest shopping centres in Europe) can be reached within an hour. Suitable for year-round holidays, this unspoilt area with its fishing, horse riding, abundant wildlife and superb walking country is a nature lover’s dream. Superb golf courses are close by and the area has abundant historical sites, stately homes and famous gardens.

One minor gripe was that the private enclosed area to the back of the house would benefit from having a table to rest drinks and food while enjoying the lovely surroundings. Other than that we have no reservations in recommending this lovely property.

Very spacious and comfortable. Bathroom perfect with goos shower which is just what you need after long walks. Shop is opposite for anything food wise you need and lots of pubs and restaurants near by walking or in the car.

The Carrawburgh Suite was very spacious and clean. Great outside space for sitting and for dogs. The owners were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I also liked the laundry facilities. Highly recommend.
