Our two light and spacious en suite rooms are simply and elegantly decorated in soft colours and natural fabrics giving a timeless country feel.

We even have our own private supply of fabulous spring water!
Each room has a radio and a DVD player with a large selection of films and comedy series for you to choose from - we have chosen not to connect to terrestrial TV to maintain the peacfulness our guests come here to enjoy.
Our bathrooms are spacious and have showers and baths for those who enjoy a hot soak by candlelight after a long day...
Room 1 is very large and southwest facing, catching all the afternoon sun. It is beautifully decorated in soft lichen with the skirtings, door frames and window sills stripped back to reveal the warm old pine. It has 2 sets of large windows and overlooks our pretty front garden. In spring the windows are framed with the 
pink blossom of Clematis Montana, full of bird song. A Superking size bed and two armchairs make a very comfortable room.
The ensuite bathroom is charming with sunken bath and shower over, soft fluffy towels and lots of candles...
Room 2 is large and northeast facing, catching all the morning sun. It is the softest apple white with stripped pine and overlooks our flower - filled yard and Callaly Crags beyond.
It has a Kingsize and a single bed, so can be used as a double or twin room. The single has
large cushions and makes a very comfortable sofa in the day.
The en suite bathroom is huge! Decorated in a beautiful blue with hand forged cheval mirror and towel rail, soft fluffy towels and candlesticks - it is a striking bathroom. An Indian rug compliments the painted floor, and the bath has shower over.
Our sunny guest dining lounge has everything you need, books, games, comfy sofas and lots of tourist information. Or you may wish to take a blanket and enjoy our beautiful garden, relax on a bench or sit under a tree and listen to the birdsong. On warmer days have your massage in the sunshine...
Our breakfasts are a leisurely affair using the finest local specialties. Northumbrian sausage and bacon, Craster kippers, free range eggs and homemade bread - great with homemade marmalade - plus plenty of porridge, fruits, and vegetarian breakfast options. Special diets are catered for with a little notice!
Your breakfast table overlooks the pretty front garden and you can watch our huge collection of garden birds enjoying their breakfast with you! We have Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, Finches, Siskins, Tits, Blackbirds, Nuthatches, a huge gang of Sparrows and our very tame robins. All around the house we have Swallows nesting in the eaves and their chattering is a delight....
The garden is a sensory delight! As you round the corner you follow the cobble path lined with Lavender and Foxgloves. Clematis and Jasmine clothe the walls, and we have a beautiful collection of Lilacs and David Austin English Roses which we cut for the house so you may enjoy their equisite beauty and fragrance up close.In winter and spring our Daffodils, Cherry and Apple blossom are a joy!
If you plan to spend your days walking and exploring we have a great range of books and maps for you to use. You may want a simple packed lunch @ £5 per head, we can lend a daysack if you need one and we supply the flasks!
We don't offer supper, but you're most welcome to bring in your own picnic supper or takeaway and use the dining lounge - and there is a small fridge for you to chill your wine and beer!
There are also many good places to eat, drink and browse a short 15-20 minute drive away.
A perfect Bed and Breakfast retreat for couples or friends sharing..
Please bring your slippers or soft soled shoes to wear in the house during your stay!
