Sitting in the hamlet of Hetton Hall, this converted barn puts you in the heart of Northumberland's scenic beauty. If you like ghost stories, the haunted Chillingham Castle sits just fifteen minutes down the road. Or, in less than half an hour, you can be touring Bamburgh Castle atop the sandy beach. On your doorstep, you'll find everything from cosy pubs to bridleways, and golf courses to fishing spots – so there's something for everyone to enjoy. Tootle along the garden path and see the respectful renovation behind these stone walls – we think you'll fall in love with the handmade furniture designed by Indigo. Wake up beneath wood-beamed ceilings and make use of your walk-in dressing room. Then, cook a hearty breakfast in this farmhouse kitchen and gather your family around the oak table. The French doors lead you out onto the lawn, perfect for picnics on sunny days. In the evenings, why not play some board games or borrow a book from the shelf?
