Delightful stone cottage on Hadrians Wall in Northumberland National Park
A warm northern welcome awaits you in our comfortable well equipped traditional stone cottage on our working family farm in Northumberland . Situated in the peaceful Northumberland National Park we have fantastic views and you may enjoy wonderful walks, and bird watching from a Hide at Greenlee Lough Nature Reserve on our land. There is a log fire to keep you cosy in winter, and a patio where you may relax and enjoy the summer sun.
A brand new Shaker kitchen with fitted dishwasher , new gas hob and new electric fan oven have been installed in February 2024.
The Sunday Times Best Walks in England starts here. During your stay here you may visit the new award winning National Park visitor centre at The Sill. The pretty market town of Hexham is only 25 minutes away, and Durham , and the north east coast are in easy reach. Two exceptional National Trust properties , Wallington and Cragside are a pleasant drive , and all of the main Roman sites are only 5 minutes drive away. The cottage is very popular with archaeologists who come to dig at Vindolanda..

We are the 5th generation to farm at GibbsHill. My son David is the farmer and lives in a cottage nearby. I also live on site .
Why they chose this property
We farm in a very traditional way, carrying, sheep and cattle, and we are very involved in Countryside Stewardship scheme.. We farm in a very environmental way. We have a Wild Flower meadow at Greenlee Farm which is beautiful in summer.

Wonderful walking country. Very peaceful with lots of wild animals .Greenlee nature reserve is on our land and offers unique Bird Watching. Hadrians Wall runs within walking distance, and all the Roman sites are only 5 mins away by car, We may live on a remote hill farm, but the little town of Haltwhistle is only 10 mins away, and it has an excellent range of shops. Hexham with its beautiful gardens, Abbey and River Tyne is 25 mins by car. We are very central and you can visit Carlisle, Durham, the Coast, Gretna Green, within 1 hour.There are 2 National Trust Properties only 45 mins away.
