Description

Relax in this beautiful, spacious, four-bedroomed stone-built barn conversion for up to ten guests in a countryside location, also near lovely sandy beaches: a great place for families or a large group of friends to holiday together. Laze away a sunny day at either of the two local beaches at Low Newton by the Sea and Beadnell within 3 miles, or explore this part of the Northumberland Coast Area of Natural Beauty on the 8-mile circular walk from Low Newton to the fishing village of Craster, passing the mighty ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, and the long sweep of Embleton Sands. A wonderful walk all year round, with dune flowers blooming in spring, the chance of a swim in summer, migrating birds in the autumn, and beautiful light and empty paths in winter. Try a different kind of walk and play a round of golf at the nearby Dunstanburgh Golf Club, 3.5 miles. Take a trip to Alnwick, 11 miles, with its great shops, a fine local museum, and the magnificent medieval Alnwick Castle, recognised by millions as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter films, or Brancaster Castle in Downton Abbey.

From the private parking area enter through the front door into the inner hall, off which you will find a utility room and a handy shower room. Go on to the end of the hallway and enter the enormous open plan living space, with separate lounge, dining, and kitchen areas. Cuddle up on one of the three large sofas and catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV, or warm yourself in front of the feature fireplace with its inset wood burner for those cooler evenings. Settle down at the dining table, which comfortably seats ten, to enjoy an unforgettable feast cooked on the kitchen range. There is also a breakfast table in the kitchen area with seating for eight so additional guests can be accommodated too. Double glass doors lead from the lounge area to the outside rear terrace and garden, whilst a door off the dining area leads through to the games room, with plenty of additional sofa seating and a haven for younger guests. Take the stairs from the dining area up to the first floor with its stunning vaulted, beamed ceilings throughout, where you will find four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom boasts triple full-height windows overlooking the garden and countryside beyond, a king-size bed, separate single day bed, and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a double with an en-suite shower room. The third has three single beds whilst in the fourth is a double bed.

To the front of the property is a private parking area, and to the rear of the house you will find a large, terraced area, with a BBQ and plenty of tables and chairs for everyone – perfect for al fresco dining, beyond which there is a large, private, lawned garden, backing on to open countryside.

Reviews

Huge rooms and great communal spaces for a get together with friends and family. Very cosy house even in October. Lots of tourist attractions nearby if you have a car. We enjoyed Anwick, National Trust property Cragside, visiting various castles and walking on some beautiful beaches. Peaceful location in small hamlet, surrounded by countryside.

Mrs G,

A wonderful holiday . Ideal location for lots of places, but you do need a car. The house was spacious, with plenty of room for our party of 8 adults and 2 small children. Very quiet and peaceful with a great outdoor space. The house was very well equipped, very clean, and we had no problems with the tv, or any of the appliances.

Miss B,

It was an ideal location for our group of 6 adults and 2 children. It was good to have car parking for 2 cars and the games room was very popular, particularly the 10 and 7 year old boys.

Mr C,

High Mills is perfect for a large family gathering. Our party of 6 adults and 3 children spent a lovely week there. The bedrooms are comfortable, with two having fabulous views over the countryside. We liked watching the house martins nesting in the eaves too. The living area is huge and with a games room as well there is loads of space. The kitchen is also very spacious and well-equiped so cooking for the hordes was easy and there was plenty of space for everyone to eat together. The garden is also great for kids to play games. The weather was not great for sitting out so we did not use the outdoor seating much but there was plenty of room to eat outside in better weather. There is so much to do nearby we couldn't do it all and think we will have to go back soon.

Mrs S,

Wonderful house has everything you need for an amazing holiday. Perfect!

Dr H,

Beautifully appointed home lots of space for everyone of all ages. Equipment in all the house was excellent. Outside space very good in an extremely quiet setting, maybe some deckchairs for the garden to enjoy the sunny days?

Mrs H,

It’s a lovely property in a lovely location. There was everything you needed from cooking equipment to a basket with hairdryer and straightener in. Would thoroughly recommend.

Mrs H,

The cottage was brilliant for our party of two families and a grandparent. Bedroom layout gave us lots of options to work with, really well equipped and lots of entertainment for the kids with a fantastic garden. Our only negative was that all the towels were still wet and the bed linen damp.

Miss M,

An excellently equipped holiday home with everything you need for a family get together. The kids especially loved the garden. Pool table in the games room and table tennis outside suited the adults just fine.

Mr W,

Location

The hamlet of Tughall Steads is a collection of converted stone farm buildings and is mainly made up of holiday homes. The houses are surrounded by open countryside and a five-minute drive will take you to the beach at either Beadnell or Newton by the Sea. It is ideally situated for access to Bamburgh to the north and Craster to the south, as well as being located close to our other cottages, The Wood Store and Moo House, if you are wishing to holiday with a larger group.
If you happen to look at Tughall Steads on google earth, please note that the apparent 'airstrip' shown nearby was last used in 1948!
For further information on the area, see our Tughall Steads section.
