The Experience

Find a heap of good things when you arrive: a generous pack including homemade cake, flowers, fresh fruit, milk, wine, Pilgrim’s coffee from Holy Island, chocolate from Alnwick, local papers. And on top, you can order a brimming breakfast hamper, meat for a week, local pies, a fridge full when you arrive, a chef to cook for you…

Stare at the amazing views both north and south from the big open-plan living room/kitchen; light the wood-burner and play games; put on DVDs – the screen is big. You’ll love cooking here – incredible kitchen with huge central island and absolutely every mod con you can think of. Most of the bedrooms have doors out to the terrace – drift off to gentle baaing.

Spa treatments can be organised, bikes too if you fancy exploring without the car, and you can walk from the walled garden into meadows and fells. Watch the sunsets from the wooden deck, cook on the barbecue on balmy eves – there’s a great big table to gather round. For dinner out, try The Tree House Restaurant in Alnwick (seven miles) or Felton’s Northumberland Arms which is a bit further.

Reviews

Lloyd, Stamford

Our stay at Teal House was memorable for the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful property and its awesome location deep in Northumberland's rugged landscape. It was a six star experience all the way in this beautifully appointed house with all mod cons and luxurious furnishings. Top drawer! We wrenched ourselves away from the rural idyll to explore the wild and wonderful beauty of the Northumberland coast which is a short drive away via the historic town of Alnwick.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're 25 minutes away from Craster with its great smokery Robson & Sons – buy kippers, fresh crab, deli relishes; lovely walk from here to Dunstanburgh Castle. Alnwick has nice shops including Barter Books – an enormous bookshop selling old and new books and with two cafes with roaring fires; there are two riding schools on the outskirts of the town. Just over half an hour will take you to Bamburgh for the magnificent castle, Beadnell for paddle boarding and kite surfing, Seahouses to catch the boat to the Farne Isles for puffins. A fishing permit can be sorted for the river Coquet – lovely swimming here too – or book a private guided walk with a retired shepherd.

Local points of interest from Abbe Van Driel

  • Northumberland offers wild coastline, a string of sandy beaches, historic castles and forts, secret surf spots, chocolate box cottages and quaint harbour towns combined with dynamic mountain range scenery that will take your breath away.
  • Head to the picturesque seaside village of Alnmouth to discover bijou galleries hidden down cobbled streets. Don’t miss the renowned Art Festival in the summer which showcases over 70 artists, live music, street food and children’s workshops.
  • Enjoy a boat trip to the Farne Islands, one of the best spots to see a wide range of sea birds in the British Isles. It is the biggest Grey Seal sanctuary in England and one can find Puffins more plentiful here in season than almost anywhere else in the UK
  • Saddle up and enjoy country hacks near the banks of the nearby River Till to galloping in the heather on the moors overlooking the Cheviot Hills and cantering along the white beaches of Holy Island with one of the friendly local riding schools.
  • Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England. Many of these castles, including Warkworth, Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne, stand guard along our dramatic coast.
  • With more than 30 miles of beaches, a galapagos of islands, hidden coves and designated areas of outstanding natural beauty. Head over to Beadnell beach, a hub of activity where you can enjoy windsurfing, waterskiing, coasteering, canoeing and sailing.
