“Wonderful welcome.”

First time I have ever been welcomed by the owner bearing scones! A tea tray was set out ready with milk, jam and butter in the fridge and with flowers on the table and the heating on it was a lovely welcome. The farm and cottage was set in a stunning location with plenty of wildlife. The cottage itself was very roomy and the beds were amazingly comfortable.

Plenty of places to visit in the area and Allendale itself is a lovely little town with a co-op for self catering and we were able to take our dog in both the pubs we tried for an evening meal. We will definitely go again.

“We had a fantastic welcome; flowers ...”

We had a fantastic welcome; flowers on the table, tea tray ready, milk and butter in the fridge then Barry turning up with a plate of scones! The cottage was very attractive and from utensils to local information including walking books it was extremely well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean and attractive, hotel standard even down to toiletries and chocolates on the pillows. The scenery is stunning, there is plenty to see and do and the local pubs do excellent food.

About the location

ALLENDALE

Hexham 11 miles; Allenheads 8 miles; Newcastle 34 miles.

The town of Allendale was once the centre of a busy lead mining area, and many relics of the mining era remain around the area. Allendale is ideally placed for access to Carlisle and Lake District to the west, Hexham, Newcastle and Durham to the east and the Hadrian's Wall just to the north, as well as the Scottish Borders. There are lots of walks, cycling opportunities and unspoilt villages in the surrounding North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is an ideal location for exploring the surrounding countryside or travelling further north to the glorious Heritage Coastline. Allendale is home to the New Year tradition of Tar Bar'ls well worthing seeing or visit in the autumn to visit the Allen Valleys Folk Festival. Furthermore Allendale is a popular stay for cyclists carrying out the Coast to Coast.
