Our Pet Friendly Northumbrian Holiday Cottages are idyllically located.

We have three cottages:

The Greenhouse and Greenleaf situated right in the Centre of the Historic Coastal Village of Bamburgh.

Ireby House offering panoramic views of the Northumbrian countryside, at home on our farm in Tranwell on the outskirts of the Market town of Morpeth.

Each providing the perfect base to enjoy Northumberland.

Whether you’re looking to relax on a beach and build sand castles or are in search of a more active break, we are perfectly located for all desires. We’re close to many fantastic attractions and places to visit – from the Arts and Culture of Newcastle and the history of Hadrian’s Wall up to the Castles and Gardens of Alnwick, Bamburgh, Walkworth, Morpeth and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, to mention but a few.

As well as running the family farm taking care of our flock of rare breed Ryeland Sheep my husband and I manage all aspects of running the cottages. We carry out most of the cleaning, take care of the bookings and maintenance ourselves. So we are always happy to help and you can be reassured of high standards of service and attention to detail.

On arrival you will find your holiday cottage warm, with beds made up, welcome pack laid out with a selection of Coffee & Tea, delicious biscuits, flowers on the table, locally made honey and a complimentary bottle of wine chilling in the fridge. We aspire to run our properties in as environmentally friendly manner as possible from the use of eco friendly cleaning products & air drying our bedding, to low energy light bulbs and locally sorced products for our welcome packs.

'We look forward to welcoming you'
