Elford Farmhouse

About this property

Seahouses 2.5 miles. Elford Farmhouse stands proudly in the peaceful hamlet of Elford, offering a slice of homely old school within easy reach of the spectacular Northumberland coast. With its bubbling hot tub, and a games room ready for friendly competition, this impressive retreat is made for families and groups looking to make lasting memories in one of England’s most beautiful counties. Step inside and you’ll find space and character in abundance. The kitchen/diner, complete with an AGA and all the essentials for home cooking, sets the tone for hearty breakfasts and relaxed evening feasts. There’s a formal dining room for special occasions, a welcoming sitting room with an open fire for quiet evenings in, and even a sunroom and snug for those who like to find their own corner to unwind.

The library offers a peaceful retreat for book lovers, while downstairs, the games room invites laughter, competition and a bit of chaos. Across its five bedrooms, Elford Farmhouse ensures everyone has space to settle in. The super-king-size suite with its private balcony and luxurious en-suite (complete with freestanding bath) is particularly impressive, while the other beautifully presented rooms include a mix of doubles and king-sizes, each with thoughtful touches and comfortable furnishings. Outside, the enclosed garden is made for long summer days – with a lawn, patio, outdoor furniture and that all-important hot tub for unwinding in style. Take a peaceful stroll along the winding paths through the trees and explore three acres of beautifully maintained gardens, with two adjacent fields also available for walking when vacant, offering even more space to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.

There’s parking for several cars, too, making group stays easy and relaxed. When you’re ready to explore, the Northumberland coastline is just a short drive away, home to dramatic beaches, fishing villages and heritage sites. Spend the day at Bamburgh, where the castle rises majestically above the sand; try watersports in Beadnell Bay; or wander the cobbled streets of Alnwick, known for its castle and stunning gardens. For a getaway that combines rural peace with coastal adventure, Elford Farmhouse delivers on every front. Note: Can be booked alongside Harness Lodge (reference 1125411), sleeping 14 guests in total.

A bustling, pretty fishing village with an attractive harbour, situated on the beautiful Northumbrian coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Seahouses offers a variety of shops and a good selection of inns, pubs and eating places. Nearby are miles and miles of splendid sandy beaches and the opportunity to visit the bird sanctuary or seal colony on the famous Farne Islands with boat trips running daily from Seahouses, not to be missed. The Northumberland Coast Path offers stunning walking and hiking opportunities where you can soak in the scenic coastal trails with breath-taking views, whilst the nearby Seahouses Golf Club offers a wonderful spot to practice your swing or play a round or two amidst the coastal backdrop. There are numerous castles and great houses to explore, such as the magnificent castles at Bamburgh, Cragside, and Alnwick, well-known for its appearances in the much-loved Harry Potter films, to mention just a few. With fishing, birdwatching, and boating opportunities on offer, in addition to the Grace Darling Museum, and market towns of Berwick-upon-Tweed and Morpeth within reach, you'll have plenty to fill your stay!
