THE GRANARY AT ROTHLEY EAST SHIELD - 3.5 miles from Longwitton, sleeping 4+2

Set on a working farm, the Granary delivers an authentic pastoral experience albeit with reassuringly modern comforts

The owners of The Granary are the real agricultural deal, building up an award-winning organic farm spanning 1,650 acres of rolling land. This now includes the renovation of the old stone Granary that sits on their steading near the market town of Rothbury, creating a delightful two-bedroom cottage for those eager to get a taste of the pastoral life.

Thanks to its setting on a bustling farm, the Granary delivers authentic bucolic charm in spades – the owners will even introduce budding farmers to the ins and outs of organic farming on request. Meanwhile, guests content to simply enjoy the sense of rural charm can snuggle up in front of the wood-burning stove or sink into the bubbling hot tub and watch the four-legged Rothley residents grazing the surrounding pastures.

The Granary features a contemporary open-plan ground floor layout, encompassing a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with Neff appliances and dining area, complete with space for up to eight guests, and a comfortable living area with a large corner sofa which converts to a full size sofa bed for families or slightly larger parties.

A pair of French doors flank the wood-burner in the living area, leading out onto a south-facing patio and enclosed garden. Every convenience has been thought of, from a dedicated wine cooler in the kitchen to a handy boot and utility room accessed via the back door. There’s even a ground floor shower room in which to rinse off after a soak in the hot tub, sufficiently screened and raised to afford sweeping country views.

Two tranquil, good-sized bedrooms are set in the Granary’s pitched roof. Both feature smart en-suite bathrooms and one can be configured as a double or twin room. The master bedroom adds a delightful little rooftop balcony - the perfect spot from which to observe the early morning farm action with a cup of coffee.

Guests staying at the Granary mustn’t miss the opportunity to stroll down to Rothley Low Lake, which forms part of the wider farm estate. Designed and landscaped by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the late 18th century, the trademark serpentine lake and organic landscaping is one of few examples of his work in the North East. Garden lovers will also want to visit the beautiful Wallington and Cragside National Trust properties, which are just a short drive from the Granary, while a range of independent shops, restaurants and pubs can be found in the charming market town of Rothbury.

It is important to note that the hot tub is drained, cleaned and refilled at the end of every stay. Due to the generous heating and hot water capacity at the property, the hot tub should be heated to temperature and ready for use on the day of arrival.
Important – please note that the hot tub needs daily testing and will require attendance by the owner or one of the property team to check the PH levels.
