Property code: 90521

Indulge in a group stay at this beautiful farmhouse in Northumberland, which has ample space for you, your family and your friends. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom, period house is situated at Vindolanda, close to Hadrian’s Wall and the former Vindolanda Roman fort. Set in private, lawned gardens, where you can celebrate your special occasion or simply savour the good company of your nearest and dearest out in the sunshine, the property is in an excellent location for exploring both Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Guests are also welcome to bring their four-legged friends along to enjoy the stay.

Step into this beautifully decorated retreat to find yourselves in a welcoming reception hall with a flagstone floor. Make your way through to the generous, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner to put the kettle on so everyone can enjoy a cup of tea with the cake you have just baked in the Aga. Gather round the table in here too for meals and watch the Smart TV while you are chopping and dicing. Head through to the lounge to light the wood burner in the inglenook fireplace and enjoy its warmth as you watch one of your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. This room adjoins a library, where you can unwind quietly with your holiday novel or open the French doors to the garden. Also at the ground-floor level are a utility room and a WC. All four beautiful bedrooms are up on the first floor of the farmhouse. One step up from the landing leads to a sumptuous super-king-size, while another step up takes you to a twin with an extra child’s trundle bed. There are also two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and the family bathroom is at this level. Take in the country views from the garden as you bask in the sunshine or light the BBQ. There is private parking here for three cars.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, and the gorgeous welcome pack! The house was comfortable, homely, and luxurious. The setting, right next to Vindolanda and a short walk to one of the most spectacular sections of Hadrian's wall, was so beautiful. Highly recommended.

Stunning location, fabulous house..fantastic to have a dog cage in the property, saved bringing one. Lots of little added extras, the dog loved the garden (though be warned its not secure) and the extra two outside spaces. Lovely comfy beds. We will def be looking to return!

Our stay at Vindolanda's Codley Gate Farmouse was WONDERFUL! The scenery was beautiful, and the sound of the river flowing by was just magical. We left with a heavy heart as we did not want to leave, but with strong hopes to return again next winter or spring. One of the best feature was the wonderful woodburing stove set in the inglenook fireplaceRead more, with ample supply of wood and coal for our entire stay (7nights).
