Dawne Day
A lovely warm cosy barn, central heating plus wood burner which came with a plentiful supply of logs, comfy beds, very nice towels. Fully equipt kitchen. Enclosed garden ideal for the dogs and immediately outside you are in lovely countryside on Hadrians wall pathway with fantastic sunset if you are lucky. Quiet and peaceful, priory and dog friendly tea room at the bottom of the hill, lovely stop on a walk.Very helpful hosts, not intrusive but around if needed. Please be aware, this is a somewhat remote area, car required if you are not a very good walker.
