  • The Hearth Art Centre and Cafe
    Perfect place to visit for anyone with an interest in Art, Textiles and Ceramics, the cafe also has THE best scones in the North East!
  • Wild Northumbrian - Tipis and Yurts
    Wood burning stoves, hand crafted beds with duck down duvets, majestic candle light. Facilities heated by air source and under floor heating. Beautiful hampers full of local produce and handmade products. This is wild camping with more than a touch of luxury. Each Yurt, Tipi and the Shepherds Hut set in its own unique location all on its own in the 25 acre site. Bespoke workshops and activities too. Simply Breathtaking...You NEED to stay here :)
