The farm has both arable and livestock enterprises and supports various conservation and environmental stewardship schemes. The cottages are located at the end of a no-through road, thus creating a safe and quiet environment for our guests. The lake holds brown trout and our guests are welcome to fly fish by arrangement with the estate manager. We have five miles of wooded and lakeside walks and trails for our guests to explore the farm and our diverse wildlife.
North Northumberland is abundantly supplied with places of interest. Dotted along the heritage coastline are the historic border castles of Warkworth, Dunstanburgh, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne found on Holy Island. In land there are many more castle such as Alnwick (Home to Harry Potter), Norham and Chillingham, also accessible are the great houses of Cragside and Wallington which are open to the public all year round, also the recently built Alnwick Gardens which are flourishing as it enters its final phases.
Now due to mechanisation and the ever changing face of agriculture, the cottages have now become part of our re-diversification and are now self catering cottages.
The farm is a mixed farm of cereals, sheep and cattle and is run by the Shell family. As a part of EU directives we have adopted the Stewardship scheme to help increase the diversity of wildlife and their habitats, please see our wildlife list. We have retained most of the original features of the cottages, but where possible have made them as comfortable and suitable for our guests.
All cottages are well equipped with electric cooker, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezers and microwaves. There is a communal washing room equipped with an additional washing machine and tumble dryer. All linen is provided but we ask you to bring your own towels (excluding Dairy Maids and Farmhouse Annexe). Electricity is supplied by a pound coin meter, found above each front door (excluding Dairy Maids and Farmhouse Annexe). The cottages have a private water supply from a natural spring and parking is available adjacent to each cottage.
