The friendly village pubs and tea rooms have food and drinks for all tastes, leave your car behind and take an evening stroll into the village centre.

Depending on the time of year, you may even spot one of the friendly seals and puffins that visit the islands.

The Ranch is an ideal location for exploring not only the coast but the many delights this diverse county offers with miles of rolling rugged landscape in the National Park, or Hadrian’ Wall there is more than enough to see and do in this friendly county.

Ten minutes walk from the fantastic Bamburgh beach, the dogs loved it by 2000 hrs no one on the beach. Bamburgh castle half a mile away. Seahouses had all that you need. Farne island boat trip a must. Owners Ann and Alex wonderful. If it wasn’t for the seven hours journey would go more often, lovely part of the country. Fantastic.
