The Cowshed, Hopside Farm, Horsley, Hexham, Northumberland, NE15 0NT

Had the most relaxing week in beautiful Northumberland!

The Cowshed exceeded all our expectations. The photographs don?t do it justice. It?s spacious, and yet still so cozy. It?s been so tastefully renovated, . A fabulous mix of old and new. We loved its quirkyness, the artwork and all the little touches that make it feel like home. It was lovely to find a welcome hamper with Prosecco, coffee and tea & milk in the fridge! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, plenty of lovely handsoaps and toiletries.. it was also spotlessly clean.

Margaret is a lovely host and was very welcoming, reassuring us that if we needed anything then we only had to knock her door.

Thank you again for a super holiday. We can?t wait to return, hopefully later in the year.

On the edge of Northumbria with Hadrian's wall right on the door step. Maeket towns of Hexham and Corbridge just down the road. Newcastle is 20 minutes away and the glorious North East coast is 35 minutes drive, Also good for visiting Alnwick, Bamburgh and Seahouses.

Generous welcome pack, including fresh eggs, milk, tea and coffee, and a bottle of Prosecco. Margaret was on hand if any problems. Plenty of kitchen equipment, the best we have found. The forget me cupboard is a nice touch.The property was warm and cosy, we didn't want to leave. Have booked again for May as it is that good.

Fantastic cottage containing everything we needed for a family break of 1 week.

Welcome pack was much appreciated.

Great location for visits north south east and west.

Warm, comfortable and spacious. Much thought had gone into providing books DVD's ,

tapes and games for evenings in.

The huge range of information leaflets about the area was really helpful.

The 2 bathrooms (1 ensuite) and 2 double bedrooms were a real plus.

Appreciated the extras (toiletries) provided.

Loved the Smeg pink fridge and double ovens.

Stayed here for a New Year break and it was fabulous. The Cowshed has everything you need for a luxury break, from the super comfortable king bed in the master bedroom to the wood burning stove in the living area , flatscreen TVs in each room and a wonderful sound system - we were truly spoiled. The welcome pack was a generous surprise with festive goodies and a bottle of cava to toast the New Year.

Horsley is a small village only 10 miles from Newcastle with a good bus service. The only disappointment was that one of the two village pubs has closed, leaving

We stayed here as a base to explore Northumberland. The accommodation was fantastic, the decor is funky and stylish and it was spotlessly clean. We loved having the fire lit on an evening, there were loads of family games provided and the TV has Netflix, which all helped to create a truly chilled week. There's a lovely pub in the village (Lion and Lamb) and an Arts cafe which both served great food and there are some fab walks in the surrounding countryside. A superb holiday cottage.
