Cottage with open fire,

The Byre is a charming two-bedroom barn conversion located rurally in Longwitton near Whalton, Northumberland, just 9 miles away. Positioned amidst picturesque countryside with far-reaching views, this delightful property boasts an enclosed garden and a contemporary interior, providing an ideal setting for a family retreat that sits conveniently between the shoreline and Northumberland National Park. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the tranquility of the area as they travel through the working farm to find three convenient off-road parking spaces awaiting them.

Stepping towards The Byre, visitors are welcomed by its stone-fronted exterior. The first point of entry opens to a practical utility room, offering space to store outdoor gear and coats. Moving through, guests are introduced to the heart of the home - the open-plan living space. Characterized by A-frame beamed ceilings and a bright, airy ambiance, this area features comfortable seating, a charming woodburning stove, a dining table for four, and a well-equipped kitchen where guests can cook meals, relax, and socialize after a day of exploring. For those who prefer dining al fresco, the garden provides a fully enclosed and private setting, perfect for enjoying meals against the backdrop of the setting sun over the surrounding fields.

The Byre offers two inviting bedrooms - a well-appointed double room and a delightful twin room with garden access. Both bedrooms are tastefully furnished with cozy touches and luxurious bedding, and they share the use of the spacious bathroom. Guests can wake up to a variety of exciting activities that await them in the area, such as exploring the scenic grounds of Bolam Lake Country Park, touring the historic Belsay Hall Quarry Garden, or visiting the nearby Shortflatt Tower, a renowned wedding venue that caters to guests of The Byre. Further afield, the town of Morpeth beckons with attractions like the Morpeth Chantry Museum, Morpeth Golf Club for golf enthusiasts, and Northumberland Zoo, a popular spot for families.

For outdoor adventures, guests can embark on a day of hiking through open countryside to discover Northumberlandia or venture into the nearby national park.

With its convenient location, modern amenities, and proximity to numerous attractions, The Byre presents a perfect setting for a memorable escape filled with relaxation, adventure, and exploration in the stunning Northumberland countryside.
