The Experience

Carolyn is a superb cook; breakfast on homemade bread, jams and marmalade, eggs from their hens, local sausages and bacon. You eat around the big dining table with other guests.

The Dowies’ handsome farmhouse and gardens are deeply peaceful and you can make yourself completely at home. Watch birds from a comfortable chair outside, sit and read in your airy bedroom or take a cup of tea to the guest sitting room and throw another log on the fire.

You can walk from the house (or drive ten minutes) to Hadrian’s Wall. Corbridge and Hexham have plenty of interest for an afternoon out and hum with shops, cafés and restaurants. Bring a group of friends for a walking holiday if you stay between June and October – Lex is hugely knowledgeable about the county.

Reviews

Fiona, Reading Oct 2020

Felt I must review this lovely place and say what a delightful time we had here. We had such a nice time here and felt so at home, on the way up to Scotland that we changed our plans and came back again to finish our trip on our wedding anniversary!! The farmhouse itself is beautiful, cosy, warm , the bedroom spacious with an incredible view out over garden and hills.Lovely large and comfortable bed , thoughtfully and tastefully furnished. Hearty breakfasts, and terrific evenings of home cooked food, wine and conversation. Carolyn and Lex are just the BEST of hosts. Will definitely return!

Simon, Bristol Sep 2020

Carolyn and Lex provided a warm welcome in their comfortable house. We took the opportunity to have dinner on the first night of our stay and the home-cooked food was excellent. While in a quiet location it is convenient for many of the area's Roman antiquities as well as for the towns of Hexham and Corbridge, which provide good restaurant facilities. Our hosts were happy to advise us on places to visit. The weather was cool and damp during our stay but our room was clean, warm and spacious. We stayed four nights and would definitely consider returning.

The Robinsons, Perth Aug 2020

Had a really wonderful stay. Beautiful location and amazing hospitality. Carolyn is a superb cook and her breakfast was top notch. Fresh eggs from their own hens, homemade breads, jams and marmalade - delicious. We felt completely relaxed and will definitely go back. Our puppy wants to go again too!

Edward, Taunton Nov 2019

From our warm welcome on arrival to helpful route suggestions on our day of departure, this was a wonderful stay in Northumberland. Our room and the guest sitting room are very comfortable, the house warm, dinner (on our first night) and every breakfast, delicious. Carolyn and Lex are great hosts, their beautiful home, and its location, exceptional.

Annie, Hadleigh, Suffolk Apr 2019

We could not have been made to feel more welcome. Carolyn and Lex are engaging hosts and have expert knowledge of the local area. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The ideal location for visiting the beautiful county of Northumberland. Thanks you for a perfect stay.

Location

The neighbourhood

It’s a ten-minute drive to Corbridge village and 15 to larger Hexham. Both have plenty of places to eat and Hexham Abbey and its old gaol are both worth a visit. Kielder Water and Forest – the UK’s largest man-made reservoir and woodland – is a 45-minute drive. This is prime walking country with walks from the door and Hadrian’s Wall very close by.

Local points of interest from Carolyn Dowie

Errington House lies only a mile north of Hadrian’s Wall. Situated on the best bit of the Wall for walking, and all within easy reach, are Birdoswald, Housesteads, Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum, Steel Rigg, Chesters and the Sill.
Also within half an hour you will find: Wallington Hall, Belsay Castle & Gardens, Cragside - Lord Armstrong’s great house, Gibside, and Capability Brown’s first work at Kirkharle. A little further away is Durham with its Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace.
Pretty Corbridge, on the banks of the Tyne, is only minutes away, with excellent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and a beautiful Anglo-Saxon Church. Hexham is the local market town, also very attractive with a splendid Abbey and very good facilities.
The famous Northumberland Coastline with its beaches and castles and other attractions can easily be reached and enjoyed. Visit Alnwick Castle & Gardens, Craster and Howick Hall, Alnmouth, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Beadnell, Seahouses and Warkworth.
Not “touristy”, but well worth a visit, is the City of Newcastle with the Baltic Arts Centre, Sage Concert Hall, and the beautiful “Winking Eye” Millennium Bridge, all along the spectacular Quayside. Pilgrimages to St James’ Park can also be made.
On the sporting front there are 6 excellent golf courses within less than half an hour’s drive, fishing (and wild swimming!) on the Tyne and the Coquet, several shooting estates, and up at Keilder water sports, mountain biking and “Dark Sky” star gazing
