Byrness House is our place up in Northumberland, right near the border. It's a 17th century farmhouse, detached, next to our own house. It sits in seven acres, so there's a lot of space. The views are over the Rede Valley. It's quiet.
It sleeps ten people. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms. It's got a 3 Star rating, meaning it's comfortable and clean but not brand new. The kitchen is well equipped, there's a big dining room and a living room to spread out in.
You're on the Pennine Way here. The front door opens onto it. So it's perfect for walkers. The Northumberland National Park is on the doorstep. We're in a Dark Sky Area too, one of the darkest patches. You can see a lot on a clear night. Kielder Observatory is about twelve miles away if you want a proper look.
The village of Byrness is a walk away. There's a pub and restaurant about five miles off. The nearest shop is ten miles, in Otterburn, so you need to come prepared. The beach is a good forty miles, so it's a day trip.
There's parking on site. The garden is yours to use. We've included bed linen and towels. Dogs are welcome, up to two. We can sometimes dog sit if you need it, just ask. There's also fishing locally if you're interested.
