Why we love it

A BBQ out on the deck, a toasty wood burner, and even its own spa – you’d be hard-pressed to find a better hideout in the North Pennines for you and your four-legged friend


What you'll love

  • The enclosed gated area to romp around in
  • Spreading out on the sofa next to their human, on a dog blanket
  • The many walks from the front door

Humans will love

  • Luxuriating in the spa
  • Star spotting on the deck
  • Barbequing the afternoon away

The place

Gatecroft Barn is the perfect spot to hunker down and enjoy the vast beauty of the North Pennines AONB. With room for four, it’s perfect for families, or even a couple of couples, looking to explore the wild open spaces of the Pennines. It’s effortlessly easy to get out and explore, with walks straight from the front door in all directions. Just grab the ever-eager hound and get adventuring – but if you want to go further afield, there’s the Northumberland National Park, Solway Coast AONB, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks all in easy reach. Chances are, you’ll struggle to leave, with a BBQ on the deck for whiling away the afternoon, and a spa – complete with a six-person hot tub and wet room. There’s even an outdoor tap – for when the hound inevitably gets jealous of your pampering.

You should know

  • The South Tyne river runs quite close to Gatecroft Barn, so keep an eye for wandering dogs when you’re out and about
  • There's no livestock on site but it is a rural area, so livestock have been known to make themselves at home if you leave the gate open!
  • The rustic stone floors, steep stairs and rural footpaths may not be suitable for younger guests or those with limited mobility

In the neighbourhood

  • Walk from the front door: You can walk directly to Ashgill Force. Turn right out of the gate, then right at the end of the road, and take a left opposite the farm building onto the public footpath through rural farmland following along the South Tyne on your right, passing various ruins, and ending at Ashgill Force waterfall.
  • The Cumberland Inn, 8-minute drive: Promising traditional pub food and a terrace for sunny days, it’s perfect if you’re looking for somewhere to go for a pit stop between exploring.
  • The Hive at Nenthead, 9-minute drive: A meticulously restored Methodist chapel boasts a stunning setting with an art gallery, a craft shop, and a café. It's an ideal destination for brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, or just a coffee break.
  • The Nook Farm Shop & Café, 12-minute drive: The perfect spot to refuel, or pick up supplies, the farm shop is also just a short walk from the Epiacum Roman Fort!
