Perfect Score Award This property is highly rated by our customers!
Fantastic property, well equipped , good base for exploring local area .
Nice to get a welcome from the owners .Overall excellent stay .
Beautiful cottage and very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay.
Loved the space and comfort in the master bedroom and slept well in the king--sized bed. Margaret was very welcoming and gave us some local tips of places worth visiting or eating out. The area is brilliant if you enjoy your Roman history but with Kielder Water nearby provides some great walks. Enjoyed visits to Corbridge and Hexham. Also really enjoyed our visits to The Sill and Wallington Hall and would recommend them. The only slight issue, beyond the owner's control, is the traffic noise which didn't spoil our stay, but might put others off. Definitely would recommend this property if visiting the area and we would hope to stay there again if we revisit. Thanks to Margaret and Robert.
Thought the accommodation was great,very clean,kitchen had everything we needed.
Only negative is that there is no garden as such,no privacy,no grass just gravel,no view except an old run down barn!! Might be situated on a farm but you wouldn't know it, maybe the campers have the views...
This was our second stay at Granary Cottage and the experience was as equally as good as the first time.
The quality of the accommodation, amenities are second to none and the central location makes it a good base to visit local attractions. Margaret and Robert provide useful local information and places to visit and are around to help if needed. Would recommend staying at Granary Cottage, and also Linn Cottage which we were fortunate enough to view while there.
Granary Cottage is lovely, very comfortable with sympathetic decor to match the style of the cottage.
The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and the bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely too. Would definitely recommend it and would happily return
Lovely property brilliant host spacious and well maintained would definitely go again if in the same area Definitely one to recommend
We really enjoyed our stay at Granary Cottage.
The accommodation was really well presented and Margaret took the the time to come and introduce herself and gave us some local knowledge and tips of places to visit which was really appreciated. Can't recommend highly enough, 5 stars from us. Will definitely return in the future.
We had a great holiday staying in Granary cottage.
The property was kept to a top standard and is in a great situation in the village of Bellingham, close to all the amenities. It's a great base to explore this area of Northumberland : Places to walk along some of Hadrian's wall, The Sill visitor centre, Hexham, Corbridge, Wallington Hall. The owners Margaret and Robert are very helpful and have great knowledge about the area. Margaret also kindly showed us around her newly appointed cottage, Linn cottage, which is just as amazing. Another big plus the beds are very comfortable. Julie and Kevin
This property was lovely, very comfortable &had everything we could have needed.
A Welcome basket to get us started. The lounge sofas & chair we found very comfortable, the beds also. A lovely light kitchen with the 4 ceiling windows. The seating outside was lovely to sit in with the sun around the back alot of the day. The sheep & lambs were a joy to watch. Thank you for a wonderful 2weeks.
Couldn't fault Granary Cottage in any way whatsoever.
A quality property with every comfort. Margaret and Robert were welcoming but didn't intrude, and we felt that nothing would be too much trouble. We would highly recommend and hope to stay again. Excellent holiday property
We chose the location specifically because it was central in the country, on the edge of the beautiful Northumberland national Park.
We used this to travel to lots of different areas to explore. Hexam has some great antique centres, we went to see Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh too, A great day out to Craster on the coast, if you go that far through Jolly Fisherman pub is a must if you enjoy seafood. The Rat gastro pub just outside hexam is also a must, also the excellent Indian takeaway in the village. What a treat it was to come back to the excellent accomodation, well presented as if you were in a 5 star hotel, there was nothing to complain about at all. Walking distance from the village shops and pubs. A friendly welcome, fantastic facilities what's not to like. Would definitely recommend to my family and friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Granary Cottage.
It was warm, comfortable, well appointed and provided a great base to explore that part of Northumberland. Would highly recommend.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay at our cottage in Northumberland, thank you for your comments regards Robert and Margaret
The cottage was second to none, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable and well equipped.
The owners were lovely and accommodating showing us around the farm during lambing. I would recommend the staycation to all, and hope to be back sometime in the future. John Foreman
Thank you for your comments. So pleased you at an enjoyable stay. Lambing time nearly over
We had a fab stay at Granary Cottage over the Easter holidays.
Very comfortable and clean for our family of four and excellently located for exploring the Northumberland National Park with the beautiful Hareshaw Linn on the doorstep of the cottage. Margaret and Robert were very gracious hosts and even let our kids say hello to all the pet lambs on the farm. Would recommend.
Thank you for your comments. There are lambs everywhere now and 16 pets !!! Thank you again and hope to see you again Margaret
Accommodation is as the pictures.
Spacious rooms which allow 4 adults to relax in comfort. Ample cooking equipment. Owners are friendly and welcoming. We were there just as the first lambs were born, and taken to see them.
Thank you for your review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay regards Margaret and Robert
Spotlessly clean.
Friendly and helpful owner. Convenient location for the village. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your comments so pleased you enjoyed your stay regards Margaret and Robert
Absolutely lovely.
Very comfortable and well equipped. Tasteful decor and lots of very thoughtful touches. Not a blemish on anything, this property is very well cared for. A welcome basket of local produce including some eggs from the owner’s own hens was waiting fir us. We couldn’t fault The Granary In any way. The location is ideal with shops and amenities close by with the glorious Northumberland countryside all around. We will definitely be booking to stay here again.
The property was comfortable and spacious.
It was an ideal location for four friends to relax together and explore the area. The best of both worlds, it was in a peaceful location with easy access to surrounding areas of interest and you could walk into the local town within minutes where there were shops, cafe's, pubs etc. We had a great time. The only downside was the large bedroom was extremely cold and draughty when the wind blew in a particular direction. We did stay during an icy and cold few days. The remainder of the house was warm and cosy. And the log fire was a bonus.
Granary cottage is the most beautiful, clean and cozy cottage and is now top of our list of favourite holiday homes.
Usually, the accommodation doesn't quite live up to the promise of the photos. In this case, the photos didn't do justice. Margaret and Robert are friendly and very helpful and just across the road if needed. The cottage is so close to the village centre where you'll find everything you might need. We loved the Cheviot for it's ambience and the delicious food.
So pleased you had a great time and recharged your batteries ! Happy New Year , regards R & M
Lovely cottage - we had a great stay!
Great comfortable cottage.
spacious accommodation, clean and well maintained. Very good access and parking. Would definately return
Granary cottage is a beautiful, superbly appointed holiday cottage.
We had a brilliant stay here in the very quaint village of Bellingham. It was the perfect location for exploring Northumberland. The owners, Margaret and Robert were so welcoming and helpful. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. We would definitely recommend Granary Cottage.
A lovely cottage, we love staying there.
It’s so clean, well equipped and comfortable and the hosts Margaret and Robert are lovely and approachable. They also have an abundance of local knowledge which they’re always willing to impart. The fact that we have stayed at Granary Cottage five times in as many years, is testament to how much we love it!
A truly exceptional cottage - Spacious and very comfortable and lovely attention to detail.
The furniture, fittings, bedlinen and towels were of high quality and the general amenities within the cottage were better than described. At first we were surprised to find ourselves so near to the village of Bellingham but as it turned out this was an added bonus as all the locals we met could not have been more welcoming. Big shout out to David at the Rose and Crown and all the lovely staff at the Cheviot, not forgetting the great hosts Margaret & Robert. Highly recommended. Heather Wing
The Granary is a wonderful retreat and so comfortable.
The location (now) near the centre of the village is ideal and Bellingham is a good base from which to explore the area. Margaret and Robert were attentive and helpful.
Granary Cottage is a lovely place to stay in a tranquil part of the country.
Intended for four, it was a luxury for the two of us - so very spacious, clean, tidy and beautifully appointed providing every facility. First impressions count, and this property has the wow factor from the outside to the inside. The owners (hard working farmers) live across the road and are always accessible and communicative providing little treats and good local advice. First day in we attended the Bellingham agricultural show which was brilliant: a new, interesting experience for us. All-in-all, we had a terrific time there and the property wants for nothing; everything is provided in spades! Thanks for a great holiday break.
The accommodation was very clean, spacious and well equipped.
. The owners were very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.
Absolutely loved our time at Granary cottage.
It was so nice and welcoming and allowed us to fully relax after a busy day exploring. Robert and Margaret were both so welcoming and friendly, Margaret gave us some great ideas for places to visit which we did. The cottage has everything and more to have a truly fantastic stay as well as being in an ideal location to explore the surrounding areas. We will certainly be back.
Outstanding accommodation and hosts, would highly recommend anyone to stay in The Granary.
Excellent accommodation and location to base yourselves in Northumberland. Thank you Margaret and Robert for making our holiday a memorable one and a special mention to Michael for sharing his sheering expertise, see you again one day.
Very friendly owners on a lovely farm/village.
We would highly recommend a stay at Grannary cottage. We all loved watching the sheep being shiered.
Granary Cottage really is five star.
Beautifully furnished and equipped, very comfortable soft bed and crisp white bedding. Even TV in the bedrooms which we don't have at home, not being ones to lie about in bed watching TV. However, we did a bit of that on our lovely relaxing holiday. Beautiful area, even if you are not a walker, cyclist or biker like most of the people we encountered. Margaret was welcoming and friendly with lots of helpful recommendations for places to visit or eat out. We were impressed with Riverdale Hall Hotel and had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Cheviot. We would definitely recommend Granary Cottage.
Our stay at the Granary Cottage was perfect, from the very moment we arrived and received a lovely warm welcome from Margaret, along with her great tips on places to eat and visit.
The cottage was amazing, beautifully clean, all the rooms were spacious and so nicely decorated. The two king sized bedrooms were really private, and great for us as a party of two couples, beds were really comfy and the bathrooms sparkling clean and modern. We had a little problem with the downstairs toilet cistern, which Robert sorted and their plumber was at the door within a couple of minutes, amazing service. Thank you Margaret and Robert for making our holiday very special, in your beautiful cottage.
We were attracted to Granary Cottage because of the very positive 5 star reviews and we were not disappointed.
Margaret was very welcoming and the property had everything we needed to provide a clean, comfortable and relaxing holiday. Bellingham is well situated to be able to visit all that Northumberland has to offer: natural beauty challenging walks and cycle rides, centuries of British history and great wildlife.
A superb cottage - comfortable with a lovely ambience.
We had an amazing time discovering the North Tyne region by bike and walking and would highly recommend Granary Cottage. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Thank-you.
Granary Cottage was really lovely and the scenery around the area was beautiful.
There was everything we needed in the cottage.....the only thing we could complain about was the log burner door not being cleaned( the highlight of being in the cottage was to have it going) and when we lit it the 1night we couldn't see the flames going as the door was so dirty....we cleaned it next morning as we wanted to use it every night we were there. Didn't feel it as enough to complain to our host but the cleaners should be made aware of it.....at least the door was beautifully clean for the next guest.
Fabulous accommodation in lovely village with great amenities, good base for exploring inland Northumberland.
Huge well equipped kitchen/ diner and cosy good-sized living room and comfortable en suite bedrooms. Friendly, helpful owners. Really enjoyed our stay and am sure we’ll be back.
Great property in a great location.
The kids loved the lambs.
WOW!
Granary Cottage is absolutely fabulous. Originally a barn, it has been converted to the highest standard and fully deserves the 5* reviews it gains. Beautifully designed, decorated & furnished - can't fault it. Well done, Margaret & Robert! The village of Bellingham has everything you need for a self-catering break and is a great base for exploring the stunning county of Northumberland. Can HIGHLY recommend - it's 5* from us!!
Thank you Sharon hope all went well on Thursday x
Brilliant cottage and ideally located in the heart of Bellingham.
A great base to visit Northumberland and come home to luxury after a days exploring. Will be booking again.
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your week regards Margaret
An excellent property.
Everything delightful and high quality fittings. Lovely welcome pack. Friendly host.
Excellent property.
Perfectly located in a village with shops, pubs and places to eat within walking distance. We would love to return
Excellent accommodation, extremely clean and comfortable, bedding and bed linen beautiful and so comfortable.
Cottage tastefully decorated and everything you need to enhance your stay. Host, Margaret, recommended eateries and called in when we arrived to introduce herself and advise if we needed anything to contact her. Would definitely recommend and will return
Great location within the village for all shops cafes takeaways etc .
Within a 25 mile radius to explore Hadrian's wall , national trust properties and Kielder forest with the coast a little further.The cottage is a true home from home with every detail covered and I have tried to find a way that it could be improved or to find anything lacking but it is perfect in every way .The most friendly welcome from Margaret and knowing support was on hand just across the road if needed. We have stayed in some very good 5 star properties over the years but this is not enough for this property and maybe some extra way to identify a superiority experience is required.
Granary Cottage is a superb holiday accomodation, well deserving of its maximum quality rating.
It is spacious, warm and comfortable, and extremely well equipped. The delightful owners offer a warm welcome and tips on the area's best visitor attractions. The heart of the village with all local amenities is within strolling distance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Absolutely incredible cottage!
! It was lovely and clean, could not have found anything better! Thank you so much for a lovely stay x
A lovely comfortable cottage, very well equipped and spotlessly clean.
Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your very kind comments, regards Margaret and Robert
What a fantastic place to stay!
Clean, comfortable, and the owners have paid the most extraordinary attention to detail. Nothing has been forgotten. Definitely a 5-star property and can highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely comments, so pleased you had a great time regards Margaret and Robert
A spacious and well furnished cottage in a great location.
Our hosts were available to give advice & tips about the area etc.
Thank you Lee, I hope you enjoyed Northumberland and hope to see you again regards Margaret and Robert
a beautiful cottage with everything you would need for a wonderful stay.
There was nothing that we could have wanted that wasn't there. The best holiday home we have stayed at and the owners were on site and very helpful with local info. Already booked for next year.
Thank you John, for your kind comments look forward to see you again regards Robert and Margaret
The accommodation is first rate , spacious , modern with absolutely all you need for a weeks stay The wi fi is rock solid which is important for us and the lounge TV superb There are TVs in the bedrooms as well but we didn’t use them The location is really excellent and just a few minutes walk into Bellingham which is a lovely village with lots to offer Last but not least Margaret and Robert are super friendly hosts and available but not intrusive
We had a wonderfully, relaxing holiday in this cottage.
The cottage has been renovated to a high standard and has so much charm and character. It really does have everything you need and is very cosy, clean and comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the settees in the lounge. A big thank you to Margaret and Robert for such helpful advice on places to eat, visit and enjoy.
Great property and owners, this is our second visit and won’t be our last!
We live only an hour away by the coast but fancied a few days' break exploring the Kielder area.
Granary Cottage proved to be the perfect base. A meticulously planned and implemented conversion of old farm buildings, the cottage offers warmth, comfort and very spacious accommodation for up to four people (it would be ideal for two couples). It offers impressive and well-equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge with proper seating for four, and two generous bedrooms with smart en-suites that would put many top hotels to shame. Spotlessly clean on arrival and nice to be left a welcome basket with local treats. The hosts were so friendly and, despite being busy on the farm, were always happy to chat and recommend local places to visit and places to eat. The cottage is ideally placed for visits to many of Northumberland's top attractions. An all round five-star experience. Thank you!
We had a lovely weekend in Northumberland and the cottage was perfect - good location for visiting towns and walks, and a lovely place to stay.
Hosts were great, and had good recommendations for things to see nearby.
Absolutely lovely cottage.
Best we have ever stayed in. Extremely well equipped and comfortable. Owners friendly and helpful. Eating places and shops only a very short walk in a beautiful locaction. Definitely hope to return.
A fantastic property, have stayed in lots of bespoke places previously.
Liked the fact it had two bedrooms & 2 en-suites. Lovely attention to detail in both rooms. A considerate welcome gift of fresh eggs & chocolate was so thoughtful along with kindling & wood for the wood burner. Lovely property, great location & think? Family friends are looking into coming to stay here after we mentioned our lovely stay here.
A five star accommodation with welcoming hosts.
Great location quality home with lots of wonderful walks and areas of interest around. Comfortable beds and the log burner was a welcome addition. Small suggestions lights for the make up mirrors, a rack in the shower for toiletries otherwise top notch!
this is the best property i have ever rented.
Thank you Jeff, lovely to meet you both. Hope to see you again at Bellingham regards Robert and Margaret
We had a lovely stay in Granary Cottage.
The owners were most welcoming and gave us lots of good information about the area, places to visit, good places to eat and much more. It was a particularly cold week and they were most obliging, by altering the heating to be on longer for us. The cottage was well equipped and the furnishings were all lovely. The town of Bellingham is beautiful and plenty to do. A great relaxing break.
Granary cottage is a beautiful place.
so warm an comfy after a long day site seeing.would recommend the cottage to friends.the owners Robert an margaret lovely people.couldnt do enough to make your stay enjoyable.hope to go back another time. Pam&Ryan kirk.
A perfect holiday cottage in lovely Bellingham.
Spacious, comfortable, beautifully furnished, luxurious bath sheets - everything you could possibly want/need with the possible exception of egg cups! The welcome hamper our hosts provided was much appreciated. Margaret was extremely friendly and more than happy to share her local knowledge, offering suggestions about the best places to visit and where to eat. All in all, a wonderful holiday.
We’ve used Sykes quite a few times and this is without doubt the best accommodation we’ve had Robert and Margaret are excellent hosts with a wealth of local knowledge and always happy to chat despite being super busy !
The location of the cottage couldn’t be better in that although it’s on a working farm is just a few minutes from the centre of Bellingham village There’s good off street parking just outside the cottage The smart tv’s are superb quality and wi-fi rock solid for ipads , iphones etc All in all an outstanding cottage which we are more than happy to recommend
Cottage was amazing, so clean and comfortable.
We had a great week and have booked again for next year. The hosts were very friendly and had a lot of knowledge of the area to pass on to us. Would totally recommend this cottage to everyone.
Granary Cottage was lovely - very spacious, well-kept and well equipped.
We had everything we needed for an excellent stay. The owners were very friendly and welcoming too. Bellingham is a lovely large village / small town, with local shops, places to eat and drink (including an excellent small brewery) within a few minutes walk of the cottage, with lots to do and see in the surrounding area. We also had a few sheep for neighbours!
simply outstanding .
the beds were so good ,the towels, the seating in the living area . loved everything about the cottage .and a nice central base to explore a fantastic part of our country .
Not a criticism but could do with a few more mugs, glasses, crockery and cutlery - none left when dishwasher running.
Absolutely perfect place with everything you could possibly wish for. Advice on where to visit was great too.
Lovely spacious cottage with everything we needed.
Very clean and nice comfortable beds. Hosts very kind and informative. In a good location to visit many areas in Northumberland. The village itself has lovely shops, restaurants and tearooms.
The cottage is well furnished/equipped and was spotlessly clean, but it is immediately adjacent to a busy road and there was disturbing traffic noise from 5.
30 am each weekday morning. We were not there at the weekend so can't comment on that. We think potential bookers should be given some warning of this.
Wonderful cottage in a great location.
Easily located in a lovely setting with the village centre just around the corner. Very well appointed and comfortable accommodation with everything you could ever wish for. Very friendly and welcoming owners who also offered good advice on places to visit. Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend.
This is a beautifully converted barn!
Everything has been thought of! Bellingham is a charming village and there are a lot of interesting places to visit in a glorious county.
What a wonderful stay - the cottage is beautiful and very well fitted out.
Excellent comfy beds, powerful showers and good washing and cooking facilities. Margaret the owner was very helpful and also left a much appreciated welcome basket. Thoroughly recommend this base as a great place to explore the area.
Fantastic cottage extremely comfortable very helpful owners and situated in a lovely village.
Absolutely beautiful barn conversion.
Inside, the furnishings and decoration were so well done. Our bed was very comfortable and the showers and bath worked so well. It was very cosy and kept us warm when the temperature outside went down - in fact we turned a couple of radiators down! The kitchen diner was perfect and the underfloor heating much appreciated. The only suggestion I would make - a new large frying pan - probably well used on most holidays!
We have just returned from a three night stay in Granary Cottage —- which is absolutely perfect !
— apart from being extremely well equipped — the furnishings and decor were of excellent quality and very tasteful — loved the stone walls throughout ! The situation of the cottage couldn’t have been better as in walking distance to all local amenities in the village — definitely to be recommended if visiting this area !
Our 2nd visit and as perfect as our 1st beautiful well equipped cottage owners helpful and informative couldn't ask for more can't wait to return again
Granary Cottage was everything you would want in a holiday home.
Margaret and Robert were great hosts, and gave good advice on places to visit. It was a huge treat to have a wonderful home to come back to after a day’s walking. Spotlessly clean and furnished superbly. We would say this is by far the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, and would recommend it to anyone wanting a break in Northumberland, with lots to do locally, and great National Parks (Cragside/Wallington, Hadrians Wall walks, The Sill). Thanks for the use of this lovely home, and we look forward to a return visit.
Thankyou so much for a relaxing and comfortable few days at a Granary Cottage.
Your facilities are extraordinarily comfortable and it was a huge treat to have such a beautiful cottage to come home to in a part of the country we have never really visited much before. A trip to Lindisfarne and meeting up with friends was a real treat. Thankyou so much for looking after us so well. We will be back.
We have just enjoyed a very relaxing week staying in this beautifully and tastefully converted farm building.
The accommodation is first class - spacious, warm and comfortable. Thank you to our hosts who were welcoming and helpful. Granary Cottage was quiet and restful, yet close to all the amenities of this pretty village, including a variety of shops, cafes, pubs etc. It provided an ideal central location, well placed to travel around Northumberland.
Beautiful cottage very comfortable and cozy.
Owners very welcoming and friendly. Would recommend the cottage for a stay. Also the bakery in the village is very nice and the tea on the train. Would also recommend the waterfall walk.
Such a well appointed but truly comfortable accommodation.
The owners thought about everything needed but also the attraction of the property. They were so friendly and helpful with information and advice they really contributed to the perfect stay.
This is such a lovely property that I almost want to keep it a secret so I can be sure of being able to book it in the future!
Spotlessly clean, furnished with style and comfort and equipped with everything you could need including a lovely village, craft butcher, bakery, useful co-op and a choice of places to eat. Lots to see and do in the area. Really appreciate being able to stay in a property that is pet free which is so helpful for anyone with allergies or asthma. Tip: If Margaret recommends anywhere to visit or a place to eat do follow her advice. You will be delighted you did. This is definitely a five star plus property.
Thank Anne, so pleased you had a lovely time and enjoyed my recommendations !!! regards Margaret
What a wonderful place, so well appointed, all you require from a cottage and more.
Very spacious, even a utility room. Very well positioned right in the heart of Bellingham, there are a couple of pubs, the Cheviot is the best, a post office, coop, chemist, Chinese takeaway (really good), bakery (lovely pies), 2 gift shops and The Fountain Cafe is a must. Just a short drive (8 miles) away., near Kielder is the Pheasant restaurant, really good, but you must book. Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre is well worth a visit as is the village of Corbridge. Enjoyed our stay very much, I recommend this cottage, pure luxury.
The conversion has been done to a high standard and the furnishings and equipment are of very good quality.
The decoration and finishing touches are superb. For we older people the walk-in showers are much appreciated and the huge bed is luxurious. The laundry room, though we didn't take advantage of the washer and dryer, is a very useful place for hanging up coats etc. The huge kitchen is delightful and extremely well equipped. A warm and comfortable place to stay, and lovely to see the friendly sheep in the adjacent field!
Granary Cottage is a spacious but cosy property in the heart of Bellingham, a lovely village with all amenities and beautiful walks on the doorstep.
The cottage is very clean and well appointed. Margaret and Robert, the lovely, friendly owners, have thought of everything to make the cottage very comfortable and welcoming. As experienced cottage holiday-makers we think this is possibly the best property we have stayed in for its location and high standards.
We had a wonderful holiday at this fantastic cottage, every comfort you could think of, warm and spacious, very relaxing and it was great to meet and chat with Robert and Margaret the owners - lovely people.
very happy to recommend.
We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful, spacious cottage with all we could wish for!
Wonderful walks in rain and shine! Thanks for the tips and warm, generous welcome!
A lovely cottage, very comfortable, cosy and well equipped.
We did leave some feedback in the visitor book for the owners, it was a superb holiday cottage and everything was excellent.
It was top quality in all aspects and the hosts were lovely and friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a break in Northumberland with lots to do on your doorstep and in the surrounding national park.
Blissful holiday stay in Bellingham Lovely, spacious and very clean holiday cottage with wonderfully comfortable beds and excellent en-suite bathrooms.
Well-stocked kitchen and care has been taken to make your stay stress free and enjoyable. The owners are super friendly and will offer useful tips about places to visit and things to see. The local Co-op is open every day and has most things you might be looking for. Bellingham is not big but I found no less than 3 public charging points for my hybrid car! During our 1-week stay we explored places like Cragside, Wallington, Vindolander, Corbridge, Banburgh Castle, Amble and the Holy Island amongst others. Tea on the train, an advertised local lunch or afternoon tea venue is definitely worth the visit (especially as it is just around the corner!). Negatives: Nope, can’t think of any!
The cottage was clean and had everything we needed.
Margaret and Robert were very helpful and told us about the area and good places to visit. Very enjoyable stay.
Fabulous property.
Everything you could need. Comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great location and good facilities nearby. We had a fantastic week. Lovely to be on the farm too. Would highly recommend.
This is the best cottage we have stayed at the accommodation was outstanding and the local area was stunning.
1 week was not enough.
Owners extremely Friendly and helpful without being intrusive,undoubtedly the best holiday accomodation we have stayed in and we have stayed in a lot !
Thank you Margaret and Robert. Kind regards Roy,Lisa & Tom.
Excellent accommodation in a beautiful area.
Look forward to returning for another visit.
As perfect as it is possible to be and lovely owners as well.
Probably the best cottage we've stayed in; the owners were absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful; there was everything you could possibly need on hand and if hotel bedrooms were as good as the ones at Granary Cottage.
.....! We certainly will return (there is so much to see in the beautiful Northumberland countryside, and the cottage was ACE. Dr.And Mrs. Stevens Bristol
We had a wonderful week based at Granary Cottage.
It had everything we needed including lovely comfy beds. The owners are lovely, the village has everything you need, there are walks from the door and there is lots to see and do within a short drive. (The cottage is on a working farm and positioned on a lane, so there is the associated noise. This didn’t bother us in the slightest but it’s something to be aware of, if looking for total peace and quiet.) Would highly recommend!
Perfect accommodation, Perfect hosts, Great location, wonderful countryside, lovely holiday.

Superb, spacious holiday cottage with high quality furniture and furnishings.
The cottage is in a very good position for exploring Northumberland with waterfall and river walks close to the property. Owners were friendly and knowledgeable- there if needed, but unobtrusive. The welcome ‘treats’ and large basket of logs were appreciated: thank you!
Very high spec and a gorgeous property.
Very comfortable and roomy. Owners very friendly and helpful and a lovely friendly village location where you can get everything you need within walking distance.
Very well maintained cottage clean and comfortable.
Margaret and Robert very helpful on places to visit and places to eat and drink. Would definitely recommend their holiday cottage.
Granary Cottage is an absolute gem, furnished to a very high standard, with an eye to detail.
Extremely comfortable bed, which is exactly what is needed after a days walk. Margaret and Robert (owners) are lovely people, offering lots of ideas for walks, restaurants ensuring we had the perfect stay. They are very hard working (cottage is on a working farm) but still had time to meet and greet. This is the best cottage we have stayed in … from well equipped spacious kitchen, lovely snug and super cosy bedrooms. Whilst we had to keep an eye on work emails, (just a little)wifi is super fast. Bellingham is a fab location, don’t miss the walk to the waterfall, and pop into the local shops/cafes … we were lucky to be there when there was a classic car show on Sunday morning… great show of cars, Tea on the train and a visit to the Heritage Centre… to learn about Kielder Forest/dam is a must. A stay at Granary Cottage was so enjoyable, we loved it C&D
Our family had a very enjoyable stay at Granary cottage.
The cottage is furnished to an exceptional standard and very well equipped making it a pleasure to spend time relaxing in. The owners really went the extra mile to ensure we were being looked after. The location was ideal in the village centre. Overall Granary cottage more than lived up to our expectations.
Beautiful cottage kitted out to a high standard within walking distance of shops and places to eat, Margaret was very welcoming and helpful with ideas of places to visit etc.
Was lovely to be on a working farm and see the cows everyday, infact loved it so much have rebooked for next march with friends
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful barn conversion.
It was spotlessly clean,warm,spacious and tastefully decorated.The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday.The location was ideal 5 minutes walk to the lovely village with a good choice of amenities including pubs and coffee shops.Margaret was on hand to welcome us and provide advice on places to visit in this beautiful area.We can highly recommend and hope to return in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at Granary Cottage and would certainly hope to come back sometime.
The accommodation is second to none – carefully planned to provide a very pleasant and restful atmosphere within this delightful friendly country town. We liked the feel of living in a re-juvenated farm building which has served in one way for many years and which now has found an ideal new characterful use. For us the location of Granary Cottage within the heart of Bellingham was a bonus – so close to shops, café’s and places of interest and within striking distance of all the North Tyne Valley has to offer.
An excellent stay.
Everything you need and more was provided. The beds were extremely comfortable and the children loved dancing in the very spacious kitchen. Super cosy, will book again later this year.
Great find for us.
We will book again! We couldn't fault it, the only thing I'd say is to add more to the listing, likes of: basket of wood in winter months - underfloor heating - generous kitchen area (photos can be deciving when first looking on website) - utilities room, was a god send, I could imagine walking families would be attracted to this - smart TV's - large beds with towels supplied. A great place with quality in mind from host Margret.
A lovely barn converted cottage.
It was the perfect place for a few days relaxing, beautifully furnished and well equipped. The owners, Margaret and Robert went out of their way to make us feel at home.
Granary cottage is just amazing; every room is tastefully furnished.
Two great sized en-suite bedrooms which is a bonus! Wonderful comfy bed. Lovely location within a small friendly village. The hosts Margaret and Robert are extremely welcoming and very helpful. They have thought of everything to provide a comfortable, relaxing and very enjoyable break. I thoroughly recommend Granary Cottage.
A great holiday cottage on the boarder of the national park.
Absolutely lovely place to stay with everything you could possibly need. Great owners who are only too happy to help. Looking forward to my next stay there.
An absolute gem of a find this gorgeous immaculate cottage was everything we could have wished for and more.
Fabulous facilities with a brilliant kitchen that has every implement and utensil you could need as well as a lovely welcome pack and some gorgeous fresh lilys. The cottage is really well placed for any kind of adventure and we found lots to do from walking to playing golf. Margaret had thought of everything and the decor in the bedrooms is just lovely - had such good sleeps in the comfy beds. We would love to return but need to make sure this gem isn’t heard about by too many as everyone will want to go!!!
Spotless, comfortable and really convenient to the village and Kielder.
Beautiful spacious holiday cottage very well equipped with everything you need.
The location was excellent, right in the heart of the village with access to a range of small local shops including a butchers, bakers, supermarket and green grocery. Lovely walks around the local area and easy access to Keilder Forest. The hosts ensured we felt welcome and offered information about the local area. I would highly recommend this cottage, we had a fabulous time.
One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.
Furnished to a high standard, everything we needed to have a very relaxing break. Would highly recommend.
The cottage was warm and cosy, well appointed with everything you could wish for to make the stay delightful.
Our hosts were welcoming and very keen to help us in any way- not that we needed more than was already there! Northumberland is a lovely part of the UK, with so many things to see and do, you would not be bored even if the weather was against you.
We had such a relaxing week staying in this beautiful cottage.
The cottage is finished to a very high standard with lovely furnishings in every room. Margaret and Robert were on hand to offer advice on anything you needed to know, thank you. Looking to rebook for next year.
This property deserves 6 stars!
I was in trouble with my wife for procrastinating about booking accommodation in Northumberland. For once in my life, it worked out to my advantage. We were able to book a week’s stay within just a few days of the property being advertised by Sykes for the first time. Margaret’s records showed we were their 5th booking in less than a week. If I had booked somewhere else sooner, as instructed, we would have missed this wonderful place to stay. You will not be disappointed by Granary Cottage. Very well furnished; central location in Bellingham, which is a delightful small town. Lots of space; stylish furniture with big, comfortable beds in the two bedrooms. The kitchen must surely satisfy the most discerning and demanding guest, whether male or female. Margaret, the property owner, is friendly, thoughtful and kind; one of the best we have encountered. We can’t rate this property highly enough; very satisfied customers!
Cottage was excellent very clean and well equipped.
Bellingham although only small has everything you would need Grocers,bakers butchers,Chinese and chemist etc would highly recommend eating at Fountains cafe and for meeting locals go along toThe Cheviot Hotel There are many places to visit within a short distance. Margaret and Roger the owners are a lovely couple who have thought of everything and make you very welcome.
Granary Cottage provided a perfect base to kick back and relax after a day’s sightseeing.
Although situated at an entrance to a working farm and a busy road through the village we had little disturbance. The owners were welcoming and friendly giving us the lowdown on the local pubs and places to eat. I would thoroughly recommend Granary Cottage and would have no hesitation on returning if I was visiting the area again.
Granary Cottage is an amazing property in the heart of Northumberland.
It is a home from home and the owners are very welcoming. It is set on a working farm with a caravan and camping site. All facilities are great. A few minutes walk into the village centre of Bellingham which has all shops, pubs and amenities you may need. Ideally situated to visit many places of interest or simply sit outside and watch the world go by. Would highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday at The Granary Cottage.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The beds were comfy with quality bedding and towels provided. The hosts, Margaret and Robert, were so friendly and full of really helpful local info without being intrusive. We booked a Sainsbury's delivery but wish we hadn't as Bellingham has all the shops you need plus more. The waterfall is a magical must! We were out exploring most days, the cottage really is perfectly located! We made so many happy memories on this holiday. I would highly recommend.
What a pleasure it was to stay in Granary Cottage.
So much thought, care and attention to detail has been put into this property and it shows. Immaculate decor throughout the property and everything you need to make your stay stress free. From the moment we arrived until we left we felt completely relaxed and chilled out. Property is in a central but very quiet location handy for all amenities. Margaret and Robert the owners are always available to help in any way they can. We hope to return soon.
Robert and Margaret were so friendly and kind, their cottage was beautiful and their support whilst there was outstanding.
would definitely return and recommend to everyone
A beautifully newly renovated cottage, equipped with everything we could possibly need.
Very comfortable beds. Margaret and Robert made us most welcome without being intrusive and their local advice (restaurants, walks gardens to visit etc) was very helpful.
Lovely week away with friends, enough space for all, both bedrooms a great size.
Lots to do around the area had a stroll up to the waterfall . Would return
Fantastic holiday holiday experience!
Very welcoming host and the accommodation was first class,great location and facilities, we would return in a heartbeat.
Granary Cottage is a lovely holiday cottage.
Beautifully renovated with all the facilities you could want. The owners are very helpful with lots of recommendations to make the holiday enjoyable. I would definitely recommend a stay there.
We have just spent a wonderful week at Granary Cottage.
The accommodation is superb, the location is fantastic and the owners, Robert and Margaret, are wonderful, helpful and friendly hosts. We could not fault anything and would highly recommend this outstanding property.
What a fantastic privilege to be the first guests here at Granary Cottage!
Margaret and Robert are extremely dedicated, hard-working hosts, always on hand for local recommendations yet respectful of our privacy. The cottage was immaculate in every way with many personal touches and in a great location to explore the many attractions Northumberland has to offer. Thank you so much for making this such a memorable (and much-needed, due to the pressures of the pandemic) holiday for us all........we absolutely loved it and will undoubtedly be back to hear how Coco the calf is doing. We would highly recommend this cottage.
