Property code: OC-GD1919

A charming stone barn conversion situated on an 1800-acre working hill farm just outside Ingram Valley, surrounded by the wonderful Northumbrian National Park. This peaceful hideaway is perfect for couples or a group of friends with dogs seeking a hidden, rural retreat. Take advantage of the many marked walking trails and paths winding from the doorstep with tracks to The Pennine Way (2 miles) or the many unmarked routes and bridle paths across the valley. For cyclists, venture the Sandstone Way (1 mile) or the Route 68 with tracks that stretch along to Hexham. For those less active days, explore and fuel up with a traditional pub lunch in Wooler (8 miles) or explore the local shops and cafes. Explore the quaint fishing village of Seahouses (24 miles) and stroll by the harbour or jump aboard a boat to the Farne Islands for a day of rare bird-spotting, or venture to Alnwick Castle & Gardens (17 miles) to explore the famous grounds. 

This rustic property is brimming with original charm and boasts unbeatable rolling countryside views. The entrance opens onto the spacious lounge area with an exposed stone interior, tiled flooring, and a feature wood burner. Step down in the bright shaker-style kitchen and whip up some snacks or dine around the table. Retreat to the large bedroom with beamed ceilings and flexible sleeping options, consisting of a double bed, two singles, a bunk bed, and a sofa bed, which can be separated by a beautifully handcrafted sliding barn door to provide a private and cosy feel. The barn also has a bright shower room for convenience.

Soak in the tranquil country backdrop from the paved patio area with outdoor furniture, barbecue and fire pit, or gaze at the skies at one of the best dark sky spots in the area. The newest addition to the property sees a secure bike shed for storing up to 10 bikes, complete with a repair & wash station and electric charging points.

Just back from our second visit this year, which tells you that we loved the property. It is remote but that suited us just fine. There are no amenities such as shops, pubs or eateries for miles so take that into consideration & go prepared.

We found the cottage to be very comfortable and welcoming. The owners provided lots of information about the farm and waymarked walks from the property. We enjoyed the remoteness, the views, the sheep, the birds and meeting the friendly neighbours.

Lovely cottage. Would have benefited with a baking tray. You have asked if we would reccomend this property. Yes if you included information about the water.

A really cosy and welcoming cottage, cleverly and sympathetically converted from the original barn, but still totally in harmony with it's fabulously remote location, The hosts were lovely and we really appreciated the trouble they took to makes us feel at home, to the extent of having lit the wood burning stove for our arrival. The cottage dcorRead more and furnishings were just right for the location and property style, but the view out the window was so stunning the rest paled into insignificance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was a wonderful relaxing base from which to explore Northumberland for the first time. Hopefully we'll get back again soon. Hide

Amazing stay at The Dod yet again the biscuits were delicious. The walks around there are brilliant for our dog and she loved them. The view is wonderful, and there was lots of castles to visit e.g Warkworth, Bamburgh & Alnwick. And i loved feeding the horses!

Another fantastic stay at The Dod. The weather was kind to us and our dog loved the freedom on her walks. We loved the wood-burning stove in the evenings and plenty of wood. Thank you for the biscuits ect on arrival. We didn't want to leave!
