The Experience

The peace is palpable on this wildlife-friendly farm: sheep graze in the field beyond, birds flit and sing, in spring the meadow is brimming with wild flowers. You have your own sheltered seating area in the garden by a tinkling stream – a delicious spot for an evening drink, an al fresco supper or simply to watch the stars come out in the unpolluted sky.

Inside the pretty Georgian farmhouse you’ll find the original black beams, a big Inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, fresh flowers and beds with organic linen. Karen also leaves you a generous welcome pack with homemade bread, locally produced honey and Hunting Hall rare-breed pork sausages.

You’re a short hop from the coast for bracing walks on the coastal path and sandy beaches with wonderful dunes for summer picnics. Nearby are castles and gardens to visit and boat trips to the Farne Isles for puffin spotting.

Rachel, London

We had a wonderful week at The Fuffins. The cottage is warm and comfortable, with everything we needed and a gorgeous garden. Karen was very welcoming and informative, and the home made bread and apple cake she left us were delicious! Hunting Hall is perfectly positioned to explore the Northumberland coast and the Cheviots – and we definitely recommend walking the extended farm trail. This was our first visit to Northumberland and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.


Katy, Chesterfield

Our 2nd stay at The Fuffins and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage is perfectly clean and has everything you could possibly need for a lovely relaxing stay. The home made bread and cake are delicious and the honey and biscuits are wonderful treats. It is so peaceful and we love to say hello to Winston the cat, the dogs, donkeys, peacocks and sheep! The cottage is well located for walks straight from the cottage, exploring nearby villages as well as the coast and Holy Island. The shop and pub in Lowick are great and only a few minutes down the road. One of our favourite places!


Beverley, Swaffham

Our time in Fuffins Cottage was a delight. I could not fault it. The surroundings are totally relaxing and the cottage is so warm and cosy. We feel that Karen goes beyond her duties in making you welcome. There are fresh flowers here and there, homemade bread and a delicious and professionally presented cake. A tray laid and milk supplied. The kitchen is beautifully equipped and the toiletries everywhere are of a lovely quality. I would book the cottage again and recommend it without hesitation. We loved the area. Do go to Ford and Etal, so interesting.


Phil & Marion, Chelmsford

Fuffins was a very comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting. Everything was perfectly presented and the welcome hamper was a lovely bonus, especially the moreish windfall cake. Karen and Tom were charming hosts and ensured our stay at their lovely property was really enjoyable. We will be very surprised if we don’t make a return visit.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're on a working farm so surrounded by fields and grazing sheep. Wander the farm trail through woodland to a bird hide and a pond. Over 100 fruit trees have been planted in the orchard. The nearest village is Lowick - two miles away - with a pub, The Black Bull, and a few shops. You can walk there along a fenced bridleway through fields if you prefer not to take the car.

Local points of interest from Karen Burn

  • Our farm trail winds through beautiful countryside, past woodlands and wild areas rich with wildflowers, to a pond with bird hide and dipping platform. We’ve planted a community orchard of heritage fruit trees and rare breed sheep graze our organic meadows
  • Standing in a young wildflower-sown orchard, overlooking an organic sheep meadow stands our beautiful new shepherd’s hut. Revel in cosy luxury before the hobbit stove in the stillness of a star- studded evening and discover something magical!
  • Visit the island of Lindisfarne, once an important centre of English Christianity. In the stillness of evening voices of seals resting on sand banks drift across the water to the island. A castle rises out of the rock, once guarding the harbour entrance.
  • Northumberland’s beautiful sandy beaches are overlooked by spectacular castles. Enjoy an evening excursion to Bamburgh where the great castle illuminates the sparkling sand, whilst out at sea island lights glint and glimmer – an enchanting experience.
  • The wild Cheviot Hills offer breath-taking views of untamed moorland. Walks starting in beautiful valleys with tumbling clear streams, quickly rise onto bracken covered slopes grazed by native sheep. Pause by a sun-warmed wall and enjoy the wildness.
  • It’s a lovely walk to Cuthbert’s Cave where the monks carrying St Cuthbert’s remains are said to have rested beneath the rocky outcrop. Nestled in the shade of woodland along a track lined with daffodils, the cave offers peace and a place of wonder.

Introducing

Karen Burn

Tom and Karen place the preservation of their beautiful environment at the heart of what they do. They raise organic sheep and traditional native cattle on their farm and are determined to make everything run in as eco-friendly a way as possible, as well as giving a little back to the community: they’ve made a heritage orchard for the local village and worked with community groups on all sorts of green projects. Tom’s the third generation to live at Hunting Hall and Karen holidayed here as a child, so they’ve got lots of good tips about where to go and what to see.
