    Quiet, peaceful rural location with plenty of space around yet within a short drive of Alnwick and other tourist locations. Accommodation excellent with breakfast provided in the romm - full English/Scottish, kippers or omelette plus juice, toast...

Set in the Hamlet of WANDYLAW, off the west side of A1. This old barn built in 1850 was converted into a B&B 2014. Fantastic views of Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle from the garden. Dark Sky's are amazing to see. Relax in the peace and quiet.
Worked looking after older people for 26 years. My partner and I converted the property, all the hard work has now been praised by my Guests. I like meeting people of all walks of life. Enjoy taking care of All Guests.
