The Horse Box

Rowlands Gill 1.6 miles.

The Horse Box is a distinctive converted horse box resting in Blaydon‑on‑Tyne, Tyne and Wear, offering an inviting base for two guests seeking a memorable retreat.

Set beside an equestrian centre and encompassed by greenery, with woodland forming part of the wider farm setting, this rural retreat offers the peace of the countryside whilst enjoying easy access to local amenities.

Four‑legged friends are welcome on a lead, with access to a small private forest area where they can stretch their legs, alongside woodland walks that weave around the farm.

Step inside to find a studio-style interior where guests can unwind beside the woodburning stove in the sitting area, prepare simple meals in the compact kitchen equipped with a hob, air fryer, microwave, fridge and boiling water tap, and retire to the raised double bed after adventurous days out.

A neat wet room completes the layout, fitted with a shower and WC for convenience.

Outside, a private, gravelled garden with patio seating provides a pleasant space to enjoy an evening drink or a relaxed breakfast.

With parking available in the nearby car park, this unique retreat is ideal for visitors looking to explore the surrounding area.

Local amenities are within easy reach in Blaydon‑on‑Tyne, with traditional pubs found a short drive from the site and a broader spread of restaurants and eateries waiting to be discovered in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne, the historic attractions of Gateshead, and the waterside scenes of the Tyne Valley offer excellent days out.

Explore the renowned Angel of the North, discover the exhibitions at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, or wander along the riverside paths of the Derwent Walk Country Park.

Pull on your walking boots to trace atmospheric stretches of Hadrian’s Wall, keep watch for red kites circling above the surrounding countryside, or squeeze into your wetsuit for waterside activities at Derwent Reservoir.

Closer to home, stroll along the banks of the River Derwent before pausing at the nearby coffee shop just over a mile away.

Those in search of shopping and indoor entertainment can head to Gateshead’s Metrocentre, while Beamish Open‑Air Museum offers an immersive step back in time for a memorable day out.
