About this property
A fabulous detached barn conversion situated in the pretty village of Horsley midway between Corbridge and Newcastle upon Tyne. Surrounded by Northumberland farmland and within easy reach of the Hadrian's Wall path, this single-storey cottage is located next door to the owners farmhouse and features beams and trusses, as well as being decorated and furnished in an eclectic style to create a charming, luxury retreat in a superb location for touring the Tyne Valley and Northumberland. The open plan living space has a warming woodburning stove for those chillier evenings, where you can curl up on the gorgeous, velvety pink sofa, pour a glass of something chilled from the pink Smeg fridge and spend evenings recounting the days activities. The bedrooms at The Cowshed have been carefully thought out, with the king-size double boasting a useful en-suite shower room and the lovely twin has a wonderful, handmade lampshade which creates shadows that dance over the walls, its sure to delight younger visitors. The village of Horsley has two good pubs and a popular café, whilst within reach is the historic town of Corbridge and only eleven miles away is Newcastle-upon-Tyne with its vibrant nightlife and fabulous shopping.

Very comfortable living space, we particularly liked the mug and china display and who would have thought of a record player and a selection of LPâs although we did not use them.

Welcome basket was good and owner even supplied discount vouchers for the local pub, which by the way serves excellent food but closes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Highly recommended.
